IMPROVEMENT IN CORN AND GOTTON-SORAPER.

' lllgt fittrhnl: referrer in in time itters fittest 211111 making tart at figs same TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CQNOERN:

it known that I, O. BILLUPS, of the city and county of Norfolk, and State of Virginia, have invented a new and improved Corn and Cotton-Scraper; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, and in whieh- -Figure 1 is a side elevation of my invention.

Figure 2 is a view of the standard and scraper bcard from the rear.

Similar letters of reference indicate-corresponding parts in the two figures.

In this invention theland-side is provided with a vertical conlter, and is made detachable, and a new device is'used for attaching and adjusting the scraper to the standard.

- In order that others skilled in the art to which my invention appertains may be enabled to make and use the same, Iwill proceed to describe it in detail.

U In the drawings, A. represents the draw-beam, and B the handles of a cotton-plough, of which 0 is the standard, D the land-side, and E a removable and adjustable mould-board. The land-side is attached at its forwardextremity to a projection, F, extending back from the bottom of the standard, by making a longitudinal rebate"on one side of theprojection, and fitting the end of the land-side into it, and bolting, screwing. or other- W158 rastemng the two together in that position, in such a manner that they can be easily detached. The standard 0 is provided with two nearly vertical slots 0 6, through which set-screws 0t a operate, confining the mouldboard firmly to the standard. The mould-board E is also provided with two horizontal slots e e, at such a distance apart that the set-screws a a can pass through them. By means of the vertical slots 0 c the mouldboard can be raised or depressed vertically at pleasure, and by means of the horizontal slots e 1; it can be adjusted laterally. The land-side D has a vertical and longitudinal slot, ol,'through which passes vertically a centre-board or pivot-eoulter, G. The latter may be made in the form shown in the drawings, or in any other form that will answer the purpose as well. Its forward and under edges are sharp, so as readily to cut through vthe soil. Cast tothe land-side, and rising above on one side of the slot 1), is an ear or jaw H. The coulter G is adjustable vertically by means of a series of holes, ggg; it passes through the slot D'and is securely fastened to the ear H by means of the bolt. One ear like H. may be cast on either side of slot 1), if necessary, for

greater strength to the land-side, or for more firmly holding the centre-board or coulter.

Having thus described my invention, What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. The standard 0.

2; The slots C 0, when used for the purpose specified.

3. The monld-board E, having two horizontal slots E E for the purpose specified.

4. The detachable land-side and the method of attaching it as described.

5. The centre-board or pivot-cutter 0 working in connection with the land-side, substantiallyas and for the purposes described. 7 I

6. The slot 01, through which the centre-board or pivot-coulter passes, and the mode of securing andfastening the same. I

Claims 5 and 6 as applied to all ploughs.
