Hoeing-Machine

Patent for improvements "to afford facilities for the more ready and perfect protection of the plant while the pulverizing-blades are cultivating the soil around it; second, to provide a better and more ready means of guiding the pulverizing-blades along the row I attain these objects by giving my guiding-fender a motion independent of the motion of the pulverizing-blades along the row and around the plants" (lines 13-19).
