Mr. Duckitt's farnm implements arc the moft 

 perfed of any I have feen. I wifh I could do them 

 juftice in defcribing them. I cannot attempt its 

 but I muft: take notice, that his carrot-machine has 

 an iron (hare and clifp both in one ; moves ground 

 nearly two feet below the furface, without turning 

 over the foil ; and would be vaftly ferviceable in 

 preparing ground for plantations of foreft trees ; 

 for, by means of a trenching-plough, with a Ikim- 

 coulter, going before, and the carrot-machine fol- 

 lowing in the fame furrow, the foil may be well 

 ploughed and opened to the depth of more than 

 two feet. Thefe implements are moftly, if not all, 

 'of his own invention. It would be a great im- 

 provement to agriculture, if they were difperfed all 

 over the kingdom. Thofe adapted to preparing 

 the ground, putting in, and cultivating the crop in 

 its growth, would coft about jcl. I have got what 

 he calls his trenching-plough, with the fkim-coulter, 

 and his bean horfe-hoe with two fhares. They coft 

 me on the fpot nine guineas and a half^ and home 

 eleven pounds thirteen Ihillings.
