iSc4. Dncription of the St'ajford JVLecl-PIojia},, 



'^1 



land may be plouglicd per day, if necessary. I answer your 

 queries as follows : 



1. The single furrow whc^cl plough lias been introduced a- 



bout tliirty years. 



2. A section of it is inclosed^ with dhiiensions, &.c. 



3. The best way of sending one from this country to the 



north, would, 1 think, be to send it by inland water 

 carriage to Newark on Trent; from whence^ it might 

 be conveyed in a stage-waggon. The price, new^. 

 wood and ijon, would, I suppose, be less than three-., 

 guineas. 



4. The advant^ages of this plough are : It requires no- 



holder^ but only a nvan or bey, to attcild the horses^. 

 It will perform well to any reasonable depth, the 

 wheels being moveable, up or down, by a screw^ or 

 by notches. 



5. It is not adapted to hedge sides, or land with strongs 



roots, or powerful obstructions, for reasons already 

 given^
