Hoeing-Machine

Patent for improvements to hoeing machines "as will cause the hoes to cultivate around the particular plant pointed out without it being necessary for the indicator to remain at rest while each plant is being hoed; second, to provide a pair of oscillating disks that cultivate before and behind the plant as they oscillate across the row" (lines 15-21).
