On the Use of the Scuffle. 



Ti 



HE use of this scuffle is of considerable importance in agriculture. It is ex- 

 cellent in cleaning beans or peas stubble, previous to their being sown with 

 wheat. It is also very useful in destroying weeds upon fallows, where ploughing 

 might be injurious, either from the land being too moist, or very light. 



No instrument is better adaptedfor cleaning land that has been sown with 

 garden peas, previous to its being ploughed, harrowed, rolled, and drilled with 

 turnip or rape seed in the latter end of July, or beginning of August. 



One man, with two horses, scuffles about six or eight acres per day. After 

 the land has been scuffled, it should be harrowed twice or thrice, and the weeds 

 collected in heaps and burnt.
