lever a, between the plow-handles from one side to the other. The line of draft can be shifted with equal ease and expedition, and at the same time one of the colters raised up clear of the land, and placed along the side of the beam, whilst the other is put down and placed in a proper position for cutting off the furrow-slice from the land These operations are performed by the plowman without changing his position between the stilts, by simply shifting two levers, b c and d a. — Loudon. Hay's turn-wrest (English) has a right-handed body and a left-handed one placed end to end, its beam and handles turning on a pivot at the center of the body. There are several United States patents of the same kind. Huckvale's is so constructed that, by reversing the position of the handles, the body part is turned, and the sole becomes the landside, or vice versa; the share becoming the colter, or the colter the share, as the case may be.
