PETER HASTINGS, OF DAGSBOROUGH, DELAWARE.

lMPROVEMENT IN FLOWS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent dated December 19, 18.33.

' To all whom it may concern:

. a. cast-iron moldboard and lnndside by bolts and screws, but is not of suificient height to protect the mold-board in deep, or, indeed, in ordinary plowing.

The improvement which I have made on Mr. Barnards plow, and which I wish to secure by Letters Patent, consists in casting the moveble share and Iandside snfliciently deep to protect the front of the mold-board from most of the wear to which it is exposed by his plan. To effect this object, a recess is cast in the mold-board sufficiently large and deep to receive my improved share and landside. The share is then attached to the mold-board by bolts and screws placed in properplaces for that purpose. The cutting of the sward, &c., is therefore performed wholly by the cuttingedge or the share, and not by any part of the mold-board, whereby a considerable savingof expense for mold-boards is accomplished, because when one share is worn out it can easily be replaced by another at a trifling expense.

PETER HASTINGS.
