   ploughing appliance for attachment to grain- and manure-
   drills and similar implements, so that ridges may be formed
   and seed or manure sown simultaneously or separately by
   the same implement.
   "In attaching ridge ploughing appliance to an ordinary
   grain-drill, I may employ independent drawbars, or I may
   use some of the drawbars of the implement from which
   seeding-coulter have been removed.
   "The mould-boards for forming each of the drills are con-
   ected to a frame which is pivotally attached to a drawbar,

   frame whereby the angle of the mould-boards and con-
   sequent size of the drill and ridges may be adjusted.

to raise and lower for the same purpose if desired.
"The frame has a rearwardly-extending bar which is con-
nected with a suitable lifting-gear for raising the ridging
apparatus from the ground, and also carries a slipper or
land-wheel, which prevents the ridger from sinking too
deep in soft land.
"An extension or bracket upon the frame is connected by a
bar to a spring fixed upon the drawbar, forming a safety
device for preventing breakage of the apparatus when an
obstruction is encountered.
