... Five months since, we published, in
answer to numerous letters received here
from , the East, a list of questions and
answers with regard to some of the more
prominent characteristics of Linn county
and the Willamette Valley. At the

FgtlE simplicity r.nd .ra.-ticaVi!ity of thU new
I ES Plos ;omnit.-n-ls U i'avorahlv to the special
notice of every farmer. It osseSiC a decided
superiority over all other flows now in nse. The
whc.;.- are !bnr fott in diameter, and run on the
unt-ldwcd laud. Itf entire eouttiuetion is in no
i way complicate!. The jdow is managed in ove-ry
j manner with ease, and refuires only (wo levers
I .to bo used iu mukiuir any alteration. The supe
riority of tho '-liny' Plow will ho clearly shown
by the folloni?ig certificate :
We, tho undersigned, citizens of Linn coanty,
Oregon, having .jmrchased and nsed iiron our
farms the "Hay" Plow, hereby certify that the
same has given us ent iresatisfa. tion. Its facility
for adjusting to suit the depth of furrow without
moviog from the seat, is simple and easy. Wc
like the plow for its draught, because the same is
brought to bear directly uj-on the plow-beam in
stead of the carriage : also,' because it is strong
and durable, all except tho w ood-work being con
structed of wrought iron no caltinrs are used.
The wheels running upon the solid land is an ad
vantage over other gang-plows, in strikinc oif
land and in plowing, not having to make the nec
essary ehangos in the machinery, and the Beat is
always level, not thr wing the driver forwaid or
sideways as in other plows. Better work aud
more of it can be accomplished by the use of this
Plow than by hand.
Wo take pleasure in rceommendiDg the "Gay"
Tlow to our brother farmers, as' one having no
superior in Oregon.
