Patent for a new and improved hoeing machine. This design is "first, to provide a joint between the handle and the gage-wheel, and to insure such arrangement of parts as will enable the operator, by raising and lowering one hand, to give the blade an oscillating motion or swing it from right to left with the greatest ease, and without tipping or turning the wheel or changing too much the position of the blade in respect to the surface of the ground; second, to provide a double gage-wheel that will have all the advantages of a leaning gage-wheel and will also stand firmly by itself" (lines 14-26).
