M. de Chateau-vieux recommends particularly, not to make the 

 wood-v/ork of this cultivator tOo thici< or heavy,' and therefore by no, 

 means to exceed the dimenfions here given: for the lighter thefe in- 

 ftruments are, the more eafily they are rftanaged both by trren a;nd 

 cattle.

Dcfcripiion 0/" M. de Chateau-vieux'j- Cultivator iv'ith two mould- 



boardi. 



F, fays that Gentleman, I could have imagined, that my 



propoiing for the ufe of the new hufbandry fome other inftru- 

 ments befides the plough, properly called, could have been looked 

 upon as either fo expeniive or fo troublefome, as to difcourage peoole 

 from pradifmg that hufbandry; I fhould by no means have thought 

 of communicating them to the public. 



But why ihould not agriculture enjoy the fame advantages as al- 

 moll all great manufaftories, in which every ufeful difcovery and 

 improvement, either to perfedl the manufadture, or to fabricate it 

 in lefs time and with lefs expence, is readily adopted ? 



It is likewife with a view to facilitate the various labours of culti- 

 vation, to execute them better, more fpeedily, and with much lefs 

 expence, that I have introduced the ufe of my new inflruments in 

 the culture of my lands. If others think proper to do fo too, they 

 will enjoy the fame advantages. I offer them, not as things abfo- 

 lutely neceflaiy, for the plough alone may fuffice, but as things of 

 ■which I have experienced the good effed:s during the years 1753 

 and 17 54, and which, for that reafon, I think it incumbent on me 

 to recommend to the partifans of the new hufbandry. 



The cultivator with two mould-boards, differs from the fingle 

 cultivator before defcribed (Sect. II.) only in thofe two mould- 

 boards which I have added to it, one on each fide, and which are 

 reprefented in Plate Yl. Jig. 16. A, C, E, H, is the mould-board 

 on the left hand fide of the plough, and B, D, G, H, the mould- 

 board on the right hand fide. The whole ofthis/^. i6, reproif 

 fents an entire and a perfped:ive view of the fhare and mould- 

 boards. 



The mould-boards are made of iron plates, either cafl: or ham- 

 mered.
