better than in the common method, and 

 the land left in finer order. 



An experiment he tried of the effedl of 

 eledricity on vegetation, deferves atten- 

 tion ; he planted two turneps in two boxes, 

 €ach containing 24/^. of earth: He kept 



plete machine. The remainder of the faid fum 

 of 42/. to be pnid at the delivery of each machine, by 

 the perfon that receives it. 



N. B. The inventor having been informed, f.nce 

 propofals for making the abovementioned Machines 

 have been delivered, that many people, whofe concerns 

 in the farming-way are fmall, are very defirnus of hav- 

 ing machines, for the above purpofes, of fmaller di- 

 mcnftons and price : He, therefore, tofuitthem, and 

 others, who rather incline to have fmall machines, has, 

 upon the fame principles, conflriJCted a machine with 

 which two men, without any other afliftance, with 

 eafe, rnay in ten hours fairly threfh as much corn as is 

 ufually eftimated the work of four men for that time, 

 in the common way of two threfhing together: And 

 intends to make thefe fmaller m.achines by fubfcription, 

 exaiStly on the fame conditions with the large machines, 

 except that the price of them is only to be 22 /. each, 

 and the part of that fum, which is to be advanced at the 

 trial of the machine (which will be at the fame time the 

 large machine is tried) is only to be 3/. The fmall ma- 

 chines, without difengaging any of their parts, may be 

 tranfported from one place to another; and will pro- 

 bably laft as long as the large machines, and may be 

 kept in repair at a proportionable expence. 



All Gentlemen, &c. who intend to encourage this 

 defign, by fubfcribing, and have not an opportunity ot 

 meeting with the inventor, are defued to acknowledge 

 it by letter (fignifying at the fame time which of the 

 machines they chufe) dircded to him at Bclji^d, with- 

 in four months from the date hereof.
