nurseries now, but they 

 are very indifferent arti- 

 cles. It is hard to find a 

 man who can make a cart 

 "that is a cart" for the 

 farm. I do not mean an 

 ox cart — one of the most 

 hideous pieces of mechan- 

 ism that ever rolled on 

 wheels. The moment one 

 enters the English depart- 

 ment of implements, he 

 may jump at the conclu- 

 sion that the cart is an 

 implement of first impor- 

 tance in British husbandry. 

 Not an exhibitor ofdmple- 

 ments but has brought 

 along his cart as certainly 

 as his plow. And what a 

 variety! — the Farm Tilt 

 Cart, the Harvest Cart 

 skeleton, the Liquid Ma- 

 nure cart, the Spring Cart 

 for fat stock, and many 

 others. Two of these at 

 least seem to be well wor- 

 thy the attention of agri- 

 culturists in every country, 

 and I have not the least 

 doubt will soon be gener- 

 ally in use, — I mean the 

 One Horse Farm Tilt 

 Cart and the Liquid Ma- 

 nure Cart. 



The annexed drawing, 

 fig. 1, is a good model, 

 construction simple and 

 convenient. The body sits 

 flat on the axle, and the 

 shafts are attached to the 

 bottom of the body by 

 bent iron plates ; this 

 brings the cart level when 

 at work and obviates the necessity of bent shafts. The tipping apparatus is also 

 novel : an iron bar eighteen inches to two feet long, attached to the fi-ont of the 

 body, pierced with holes two or three inches apart, through which an iron rod goes, 

 connecting the body and shafts. By this arrangement the body can be kept at any 

 desired angle in unloading — veiy convenient in distributing manm-e or compost in 

 small heaps. The shelving or ladders shown in the cut can be removed at pleasure, 

 and are only intended for carrying loads of grain, hay, &c The cost of this cart 

 in England is about $50.
