 The land had been in grass about half a dozen years, was well 



swarded, — and in consequence of the extreme drought, was difficult 

 to be operated on. The lots were about sixteen rods long, by thirty 

 feet wide, containing about one-sLxth of an acre each. The work 

 was performed as follows, viz : 



No. 1. by 31 furrows in 48 minutes.
