44 The Mining and Scientific Press, Horse Hors.—We learn from the Stockton Independent that E, W. Walltan of that city, has assigned a share of the patent issued for an improvement in horse hoes to W. H. Derrick, of tbe samecity. This hoe will nudoubtedly prove of incalculable benefit to farmers in tbe cultivation of grapes, corn, cotton, tobacco, and, indeed, of any crop which requires the freqnent stirring of tbe soil, either for the purpose of retaining moistnre, or for kiling the grass and weeds. The beam of the hoe is like the beam of the ordinary horse hoe, or the one-horse plow, but there the resemblance ends. ‘The handles, at their former end, are attached to a plate of iron throngb which a bolt extending upward from or through the beam, passes, this bolt constituting a pivot upon which the handles turn, laterally, in either direction. Between tbe handles, and nearly over the end of the beam, is a regulating brace, provided with several holes, into any of which the iron stay or support, extending upward from the end of the beam, may pass. brace is that the handles may be set, so that in plowing among grape vines, tobacco, corn or cotton, tbe handles can be arranged at will, in line or ont of line with the beam, and the hands be freed from contact with the row being plowed, while the person holding the hoe walks in the center between the rows, and the hoe itself works close to one or the otber of the rows. The standard of the boe is in two parts, and ‘constitutes both standard and brace. The front and rear edges of these paris are provided, at their base, with notches which catch upon, and are firmly held in, the boe point, by imeans of a wedge which drops between the two parts of the standard, and holds tbe point and standard as firmly together as if they were one piece. The hoe point is reyersible, and is provided with a mortise throngh its center for the reception of the double standard and wedge. The shares, which are also reversible, extend both ways from the point at an angle not greater than 90° from each other. Each of these sbares is provided witb two sharp cntting edges, for tbe purpose of economy, and also that the natural use and wear of the shares may effect the sharpening of their own edges, The object of this . for the use of the front edges are found to wear most rapidly uponthe under side ;). and by the novel provisions of the inventor, . the shares are readily turned and the used . edge presented, or it is changed end for end, and a sharp edge is presented to the suil and weeds, without recourse to a black: smith. Another prominent feature of this hoe is that a small mold board is attached toward the outer end of one or both its shares, the purpose of which is the throwing of a small quantity of soil to the row when desired, while, at the same time, the great body of the soil and weeds, which has been cut and lifted up by the sbares, is dropped loosely behind tbe hoe. ‘We are informed that the hoe, in its workings, exceeds the most sanguine expectations of the inventor.
