Art. XXIL— on THE ADVANTAGES OF ONE-HORSE CARTS 

 OVER WAGGONS. 



By Mr. P. Love. 



[Mr. Love sets about his task of proving these advantages very me- 

 thodically, taking up in succession each department of farm-work in which 

 carts or waggons are employed. The summing up only of his argument 

 is here presented.] 



I THINK that there is no sort of farm-work for carts or 

 wag-g'ons that I have not treated of, and will now therefore 

 sum up the whole, that we may see the final results. 



First, I take carting- out of manure, which gives rather 

 more than a fourth in favour of one-horse carts over two- 

 horse carts ; wag-g'ons being- out of the question altog-ether 

 for that sort of work. 



Secondly, in the carrying- of hay there is a saving- of 

 horse labour to the amount of a fourth, as well as some 

 advantage in the manual labour, throug-h their lowness in 

 field, notwithstanding- the very small disadvantag-e of height 

 in the rick-yard.
