has two Coulters, bending inwards, to cut 

 each Side of the Trench ^ the Share is very 

 broad and flat, and cuts off the Bottom of 

 the Trench ^ and the Mould-Board is three 

 Times the Length ufual in other Ploughs, to 

 caft the Turf at a Diftance. Thefe are the 

 feveral Sorts of Ploughs us*d in Tillage, to 

 which I may add the double Plough, (which 

 is where one Plough is fix d to the Side of the 

 other) that with two Men and four Horfes, 

 will plough up a double Qiiantiry of Land 

 in a Day, one Furrow by the Side of the 

 other. Befides this, there is another Sort of 

 Plough, whereby two Furrows may be 

 plough'd at once, one under another 5 and 

 the Ground is ftirr'd up twelve or fourteen 

 Inches deep, which is oi great Ufe. The 

 only foreign Plough I fhall mention, is the 

 Spanijh Plough, with one of which and one 

 Beafl:, the Hufbandmen of Spain plough up 

 two or three Acres of their light Lands in a 

 Day : For the Ufe of the particular Parts of 

 a Plough, the Coulter is a (harp turning 

 Wheel, that cuts the Roots of the Grafs or 

 Sedge a-crofs by its Motion, as it goes round, 

 and the broad Share likewife cuts the Bottom 

 of their Roots at the fame Time : The Coul- 

 ter, where the Land is ftiff, muft be the larger 

 and the fl^pnger, and go the deeper ^ for in 

 deep Grounds the Weeds root the deeper ^ and 

 for the better cutting up of them, it is ufu- 

 al to fet on the right Side of the Coulter a 

 fmall Wing, or Fin, which fevers the Bottom
