IE MERITS OF THIS«sa
Plow over others, for
the enlti ration of both Cot- .
ton and Corn are many, but I shall mentidd
only its leading meritp ; With four wings,
two small and two large, it can bo converted
into Seven different Plows, all of"which are
very necessary for the cultivation - of dif-
ferentorops. And another very important
feature is durability. A -Plow completed
will last a man from two to five years, accord
ing to the soil he cultivates, and will only
cost about Three Dollars to put it up. An
Agenoy will soon be established in Rome,
and then planter! will be invited to call and
sec for themselves. Address,
