'708 Rejiort on the Trials of Implements at Bedford. 



The mean draughts on the road were per ton of gross load 33'8 lbs., and per 

 ton of useful load 54'7 lbs. ; with a weight of 60 lbs. on the horse's back, which 

 on the field was increased to 75 lbs. ; this is somewhat high. The mean 

 draughts on the field were 121-6 lbs. and 197 lbs., and thus lower than in any- 

 other cart in this class. 



The construction and materials of this cart are good, but the price, 19Z., 

 is somewhat high.
