purpofe to allow the lint feed only to drop. 

 It can be made to fow thicker or thinner at 

 pleafure, by altering the brufh, either lifting 

 it up or down. 



One man can fow three acres each day with 

 this barrow. And if fowed in the manner 

 propofed with the drill machine, (vide Na- 

 tional Improvements), by a man and horfe, 

 can do more than double. 



When fown with the drill-barrow, the 

 man would need three poles or garden lines 

 to direct him to fow the drills flraight. The 

 ground fliould be completely harrowed be- 

 fore fowing, and only rolled after being fow- 

 ed, as the harrow would be apt to take the 

 feed out of the line of the drills, 



The advantages of fowing lint in this man- 

 ner would be, that the fra'mer could always 

 depend, in ordinary feafons, on having good 

 feed, equal, if not fuperior to any that comes 

 from abroad. 



The beft method would be to dry the lint 

 in the ftooks, with the feed upon it, and to 

 ftack it up all winter, and tlirefli it out in 

 the ipring; then to water the flax in the 

 fummer, which would make ftrong co.irfe-
