GAY" PLOWS, Manufactured and sold for the very low price of 4C$. and S-iTVS. THE simplicity and practicability of this new Plow commends it favorably to the speeial nonce of evcrwlarmer. It possesses a, decided superiority over all other plows now in use. The wheels are four feet in diameter, nnd run on the unplowed laud. Its entire construction is in no way complicated. The plow is mnnnged in every manner with ease, aud requires only two levers to be used in making any alteration. The snpe- 'riority of the 'Gay" Plow will be clearly shown by the following certificate : We, the undersigned, citizens of Linn county. Oregon, having purchased and used upon our farms the "(Jay" Plow, hereby eertifv that I ho same has given us entire satisfaction. ItsTaeility tor adjusting to suit the depth of furrow without moving from the seat, is simple and easy. We like the plow for its draught, because the same is brought to bear directly upon the plow-beam in stead of the carriage : also, bctause it is strong and durable, all except the wood-work being con structed of wrought iron no castings arc used. The wheels running upon the solid land is an ad vantage , over other gang-plows, in striking off land and iu plowing, not having to make the nec essary changes in the machinery, and tlio seat is always level, not thr wing tho driver forward or sideways as in other plows. Better work and more of it can be accomplished by the use of this Plow than by hand.
