t3o4i On the successful Application of Cast hon Work for Gates, 8^ 



NOTE BY THE CONDUCTOR. 



So much good sense expressed in a distinct and accu- 

 rate manner, appears in the above interesting communication, 

 that we embrace the opporlvuiity afforded us, from what is 

 mentioned in the concluding paragrapli, of earnestly soliciting 

 a continuation of Agricola's correspondence, especially upon 

 the subjects wiiich at this time have occupied his attention. 

 Detailed accounts of the Imsbandrj of other counties will like- 

 wise be highly acceptable , seeing that such cannot fail to 

 prove useful and instructive. Every person possessed of the 

 true avior patricey must contemplate with delight the gradual 

 progress of improvement, and peruse with marked at- 

 tention, the steps which have successfully been adopted in 

 different districts, to introduce a system of agriculture, com- 

 paratively perfect, when viewed with that of former times.

Sir, 



I AM enabled to afliire you, that not a fingle inftance of 

 failure has come within my knowledge, in the cfifl iron work for 

 gates, as below recommended, which has been purpofely fub- 

 mitted to the moft fevere tefts ; and I have little doubt but that, 

 in a reafonable time, the improvement will be generally adopted. 

 I beg leave to refer your readers to my paper on the fubjed: 

 of gates, in your Magazine for May 1803 ; and they will pleafe 

 to confider this communicarion as connefted therewith.
