feldom and imperfediy broke by the four-coultered^ 

 plough. 



Any perfon who reads Mr. TuU's defcrlptlon of 

 his foiir-coultered plough, and what he propofed 

 by it, will foon fee the great advantage the fward- 

 cutter has over it, in producing the defired effedt of 

 bringing old refted grafs-ground into tilth ; an ob- 

 jedt univerfally allowed to be of nofnnall inaportancc 

 to agriculture. 



This inflrument is very fit for preparing ground 

 for burnbating, as it will fave much hand-labour. 



It may be properly ufed in crofs-cutting clover, 

 of one or two years {landing, to prepare the ground 

 for wheat, if the land be ftiff and moift enough. 



It may be applied to cutting and crofs-cutting 

 pafture-ground, intended to have manure of any- 

 kind put upon it to meliorate the grafs. In this it 

 will far exceed the fcarilicator, mentioned in one of 

 Mr. Young's tours, as that inftrument is liable, as 

 well as the four-coultercd plough, to be thrown out 

 of its work when meeting with a flone.or other in- 

 terruption. This the fward-cutter is proof againft, 

 which is looked on as its greateft excellence.
