abandonment of them in Europe. There is no advantage over 
thesingle, in the double shared plough, in the separation of

with single shares of 20 and 22 inches in width, elevate the

exhibiting receiying..and vending, the best implements ot 
‘husbandry, has been promulgated, which, we indulge the hope 
will be encouraged,
