the point 19, an oblique or inclined brace
20, the opposite or rear end of which is se-
cured to the under side of the beam.
Mounted upon the lower end'of each stand-
5 ard 13 is a shovel 21, while in rear thereof is a
depth gage 22 having a runner portion 23
which is adapted to rest on the surface of the
ground during the operation of the cultiva-
tor, and a shank or attaching portion 24 pro-
o vided with an opening 25 to receive a clamp-
ing bolt 26 which also passes through the
shovel 21 and between the twin bars 14 of
the standard, said bolt serving to clamp both
the shovel and the depth gage to the stand-
i5 ard and also provide for adjusting the shovel
and depth gage up and down on the stand-
ard.
By loosening one or both of the bolts
which secure the standard to the beam, the
20 upper end of the standard may be moved
lengthwise of the rack 17 to engage the bolt 16
in any of the notches or between any of the
teeth of the rack to give the desired inclina-
tion to the standard and height to the shovel
25 and depth gage, and when the desired ad-
justment is obtained, the bolt or bolts are
tightened, thus holding the parts fixed in
their adjusted positions.
I claim:

oppositely arranged beams, and standards,and shovels carried thereby, in combination
with braces connecting said beams, one of
said braces being in the form of an arch ex-
tending obliquely across the space between 35
the beams, and another brace in the form of
an arch extending across the space between
the beams and at right angles to the beams,
said braces crossing each other at the crown
of the arch where they rest one against the 40
other, substantially as described.
2. A straddle. row. cultivator comprising
parallel beams, standards secured to said
beams, and shovels secured to said standards,
a handle connected to one of said beams and 45
extending backward in alinement therewith,
and a handle connected to the opposite beam
and curved toward the first mentioned han-
dle to permit the plowman to walk upon one
side of the row of plants .being cultivated, 50
and an arched brace having its ends con-
nected rigidly to the beams, and the upper
portion of said brace being connected to the
handles and extending across between the
same. 55
In testimony whereof, I affix my signature
in presence of two witnesses.
