I think no partiality is fhewn to the ox-plough.— 

 If one acre of ley, or 1^ acre of ftubble, or fallow, be 

 ploughed in a day, fr{ie expence will then be 4s. 6d. 

 the former, and 3s. per acre the latter. — Superiority 

 of Mr, Billingsley's plan in both inftances is. per 

 acre. — And this fuperiority would be Hill greater in 

 a comparifon with Mr. Thomas's, were it not that 

 the unfkilfulnefs of his ploughman, and the fmallnefs 

 of the oxen, rather preclude a ftric"t comparifon. 



Now farmers are in general quick-fighted enough 

 in many cafes wherein their intereft is concerned ; 

 furely, therefore, they cannot fhut their eyes in this 

 inftance, but mult adopt the ufe of a plough fo 

 vaftly fuperior to thofe in common ufe.
