Be it known that I, GEORGE Gnss,lof Canton, inthe county of Stark, in the State of Ohio, have invented :t new and-useful Improvement in Plougb's; and I hereby declare that the following is a full and exact description. thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon.

My invention consists,first, in employing a beam of wood entirely straight on th'e under side, and supported at the rear end by a detachable wooden brace, the lower end of which is connected to the standard bya socket; secondly, in forming the rear loweredge of the land-side like the front lower edge of a. sleigh-runner; and thirdly, in hanging the nose of the coulter to one side, vinstead of the old method.

To enable others skilled in the art to make and use my invention, I will describe it'by reference to the drawings.

The beam a, Figure 1, is straight on the under side, and fastened on the post in the usual manner. Ata isv a bored socket to receive one end of the round b; and at c, ou the standard, is another, to receive the other end 'oi' snid' rounder brace, forming the property of a triangular support to the plough. The rear and under side of the land-side'd is formed like a sleigh-runner. The nose of the Coulter e, Figure 2, is Banged to one side on the edge ofthe anvil, and is easily formedby this means. l l' v '.lhevadvantages of 'this construction are, first, a straight beam, .in which the grain of the wood is parallel, isthe. strongest form, and, in connection with the brace b, securedin the manner shown in the drawing at a and c lmak 1.13 it' extremelystroig and durable. It alsoretains, the beam permanently in its original pitch. The sleigh-.runner forni ofland-side renders the plough easier of control, both for tipping in oryout of pitch while ploughing, aswell as while sliding-'on the-surface at the head-land. It also makes it easier of draught on the horses'. -Tlie anged-coulter-nose is'feasily made', and has thisadvantage, inl the fact that it can be edged to the eictreme pointot theeoulter, .which canno t be don-e, by the old method. It possesses the property of angled metal, a'ndvinsurestliat strength and thinnes-s s o requisite in'adurable and easy-draught coult-er.

I do not claim broadlythe-u'se of la brace vat theihinder part of the plough, as it has been made and used in one form oitlariother;v but l What I claim as myinvention, and desire vtozseonre by Letters Patent, is-

1, The 'straight beam 1, in'com-bination'with the detachablewooden brace b fitted into sockets, for the purpose as herein specified.

2; The land-sided, of the form and for the purposes as set forth.

3.x'The coulter-nose e, made and used as andfrthe'purpose specified; and v y 4. '.l.he beam a, brace b, land-side 11, and coulter-nose e, combined to form the design specified-, when, made -and.uscd as herein described.
