 means of a long whipple-tree, as long as the width 

 of the beds, drew three light harrows fixed to the 

 whipple-tree, that covered the whole breadth of the 

 bed, and harrowed the whole as it went on. Each 

 harrow had five rows of tines or teeth, and fix tines 

 in each row, making ninety in the three harrows j
