Plow.

Patent for a new and improved plow. This design is "to provide a plow adapted for steady and easy running, capable of combining therewith various styles of shovels or shears, and so constructing said plow as to be readily adjusted to form furrows of varying depths" (lines 9-14). This design consists, "with the beam and the loosely-depending standard provided at its lower end with a shovel, of the angular brace pivoted at its angle to the standard, adjustably connected at its upper end or branch to the beam, and having its lower end adapted to travel along the furrow in rear of the shovel" (lines 7-14).
