furrounded with wheels nine inches diftant from 
each other, and three feet in diameter; the fpokes 
being let into the roll. The other is an improve- 
ment from this ; a fmaller roll is the axis, on which 
are put folid wheels, about three feet in diameter, 
and one-half inch thick; made alternately of wood 
and caft iron: the wooden ones are made to fix at 
any diftance; between two of thefe an iron one is 
put one-half inch lefs in diameter, and with room 
fufficient to play up and down, fo as to give way to 
any obf{tacle, and to prefs down into the hollows; 
it likewife, by thefe means, is rendered lefs liable 
to choak up in rough land. For breaking clods, 
or in light land, where great preffure is wanting, 
thefe appear to be very effective implements. 
There appears to be a great deficiency of fhed- 
room in this diftrict. Implements of hufbandry of 
all forts are either left in the grounds where laft ufed, 
or at beft have only the fhelter of a tree to pre- 
ferve them; nor are the yards much better ac- 
commodated for wintering cattle. This is a very 
material object; the injury fuftained by having the 
implements thus expofed, is, perhaps, more than 
equal to the fair wear of them, and would well pay 
for the conftruction of fheds for their prefervation. 
In regard to live ftock, it is ftill worfe; cattle fed 
on ftraw, in expofed and unfheltered fituations, are 
fure to fink confiderably; and-are liable, when 
{pring comes on, to the yellows and other com- 
plaints,
