The only Premiums which were awarded to Gang Plows at the great Implement trial at Jfuttoon, Sept. 4, lS'JG, by the State Agricultural Soci ety of Illinois, tee re awarded to this Plow. The following is an extract from the lie-port of the Commissioner of Agriculture, fur the year 18GG, and may be found on page 210 of that re port : "The Gang Blow made by J. C. Pfeil. A renzvdle, Cass County Illinois, is received with no little favor in the west. Almost in credible stories are told of lt.s excellencu and etliciency in plowing the prairie fields of Illinois and other States. " The depth of the furrow is regulated by the crank-axle, which is so arranged that the ploughs can he driven deeper or shal lower at the pleasure of the driver, w hen the team is niovmg.by means of the lever. We also manufacture sulkey jilovvs for small boys, or intirni persons who arc enable to manage a team of three or four horses. This gang or sulkey plow, will cut'u fur row from 1 to 10 inches deep. "The committee who test ad the draught ul' this plow with a dynamometer state, that it ran lighter by l b' pounds, than other plow when running at the sanits depth, and held by the plowman while o:i foot.'' With this I'low one man can do more work than tv:o men can do with walking Plows, aud the same amount of team. Hence, it will be seen that it will more than pay for itself in one season's plowing. ti.Si" In ad li tion to ihe above, John. W.Lewis teiil also manufacture the WEB-FOOT GANG PLOY! A N : !
