TO ALL .WI-IOM IT MAY CONCERN:

Be it known that I, JOHN SNYDER, of Williamsticld, in the county of Ashtabula, and State of Ohio,V have v invented a new and improved Corn-Plough; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clean-aud exact description thereof, which will enable those skilled in the art to make and use the same, reference being Vhad to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, in which-v v Figure 1 is a side view of my improved plough, partly in section, to show the construction. Figure 2 is a bottom view of thc'samc. Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parte.

My invention has for itsobjeet to furnish an improved plough for ploughing and boeing corn, which shall be simple and strong in construction, and will do its work well; and it consists in thc construction, combination, and arrangement of the various parts, as hereinafter more fully described.

A is the central or main beam of the plough, to the rear part of which, and at right angles to its length, is bolted the cross-beam B. C are the ploughs, each of which consists of a single plate bent or curved into the form shown in figs. 1 and 2. D are the uprigbts, which are curved, as shown in figs. 1 and 2, and `the lower ends of which are secured to the inner or rearends of the ploughs C. The upper ends of `the curved or bent uprights D are bolted to the cross-beam B, several holes be the said bolts, so that the inner ends of the ploughs may be set nearer togethcror farther apart,tas may be desirled. E are the curved or bent beams, the rear ends of which are attached to the outer ends oftheploughs C, and the forward ends of which are bolted tothe forward part of the beam A. F are braces, the rear ends of which are secured to the outer part of the ploughs O, and their forward ends are secured to the forward part of the beam A by the same bolts by which the forward ends of the curved beams E are secured to the said central beam A. G is a plate, attached to the under side ofthe cross-beam B, and having holes through it for the passage of the bolts by which the curved uprights D are secured to said beam. The plate G strengthens the beam B, and furnishes a {ii-mer support for the said bolts. Il is `lthe tongue, the rear end of which is secured to the forward part of the central benin A by the bolt I, which also passes through the double-tree J and holds it in place. K is an upright, the lower end of which passes into a mortise in the beam A, and which passes through a mortise in the tongue H. L is a strap, the ends of which are secured to the sides of the forward end of the central beam A, by a bolt passing through the ends ofthe said stra-p and through the said beam. The' strap L passes around the tongue H and the end of the upright K, and it has severa-l holes formed through it, for the passage ofthe bolt by which it is connected with the tongue II, sothat the said tongue may be raisedor lowered according'as it is desired to have the ploughs run at a greater or less depth in the ground. M is a plate attached to the upper side of the beam A, to strengthen it and more {irmly support the bolts by which the curved beams, N are the handles, the forward ends of which arc secured to the braces, and tongue are secured to saidbeam. beam A, and the rear part of which are supported by the uprights O, as shown in fig. 1. The handles N are bent to one sido, so that the ploughman'may walk between the rows.

I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent- 'lhe combination of the tongue H, strap L, and upright K-with the f substantially as herein shown and described, and for the purpose set forth.

' JOHN SNYDER.
