THE ONE-WAY PLOUGH.
The “ one-way plough,” is gradually coming into general use in the North of Scotland. This implement is the patent of G. W. Murray and Co., of Banff. Being fitted with two mould boards, and shares pointing in opposite directions, and having the handles, beam, and coulter, so arranged on a pivot that they can be thrown out of gear by the ploughman and turned round on s
' Swivel at the end of each furrow, there is no need for “ feering ” and “ finishing,’ as with ordinary ploughs. With the one-way plough, work is commenced at one side of a field, and carried on without a I reak to the other, thus leaving the field quite level for the reaping machine. In hilly country, the necessity of ploughing up hill is obviated. It is claimed for this plough, that the saving in finishing furrows alone amounts to three and a half acres of land in every twenty.
