Wing 5 and the Foot long and broad, fo as 

 to make the Furrows deep, is efteem'd the 

 moft proper. 1 he Plough for white, blue, 

 or grey Clay, need not be fo large as the 

 former^ but fomewhat broader at the Breech, 

 the Coulter long and bending, and the 

 Share narrow^ with a Wing coming up to 

 arm and defend the Earth-board from wear- 

 ing. And the Plough for red or white Sarjds, 

 or Gravel, or any light Moulds, may be lighter 

 and nimbler than the latter, the Wing not 

 fo large, and the Coulter thinner and more 

 circular: Thus much in general ^ I come now 

 to defcribe the particular Ploughs accounted 

 thebeft for Tillage. The One-Wheel-Plough 

 may be made Ufe of almoft in any Sort of 

 Land, being a great deal lighter than other 

 Wheel-Ploughs, and with which, being drawn 

 by one Horfe, and held by one Man, ons 

 Acre a Day may be plough'd in a moift Sea- 

 fon. The double wheel'd Plough, us'd ni 

 Hertfordshire and elfewere, is the llrongeft, 

 -and apparently one of the moft preferable 

 \ Ploughs for many Ufes; 'tis alfo of the eafieft 

 'iDraught, and fuits beft with all Sorts of 

 Soils, except miry Clay in the Winter, which 

 is. apt to clog the Wheels : And even for thofe 

 Lnnds, it is the beft inftrument to plough up 

 Lays or Summer Fallows with ^ becaufe it 

 turns in the Turf after the moft convenient 

 M mner, and cuts up Mole-hills or uneven 

 Ground without levelling. The Wheels of this 

 Plough are eig(;te;n or twenty Inches high^
