Length, to give room for the Harrow to fink and 

 rife, without raifing up the Shares -, and to give them 

 the more room to move : The Legs of the Harrow 

 are crook'd downwards in the Middle. 



The Diftance of thefe Tines from each other is 

 Twenty-two Inches ; fo that each Tine going Three 

 Inches and an half on the Outfide of each Chanel that 

 is next it, fills it up with Earth upon the Seed, from 

 the Outrides of it •, which caufes the Rows to corns 

 up fomething nearer the inner Sides of the Chanels, 

 than to the outer Sides, from whence the Earth is 

 brought into them by the Tines-, and the Two outer 

 Rows by this means come up at Fourteen Inches 

 afunder, tho' the Chanels were Fifteen Inches afunder* 



This way of covering adds more Mould to the Top 

 of a Ridge; whereas, if the Chanels were covered by 

 Tines going within or between them, the Mould 

 would be thrown down from the Top of the Ridge : 

 And thefe Tines ftand with their Edges and Points 

 inclining outwards, by which means they bring in the 

 more Earth to the Chanels. 



If we find, that the Harrow is too light, we tie a 

 Stone upon it, to make it heavier; and fometimes we 

 fix a fmall Box of Board on the Middle of it, to hold 

 Clods of Earth for that Purpofe. 



The fore Funnel C has its upper Edges Two Inches 

 high above the Surface of the Plank. It is Five Inches 

 Square at Top ; its Four oppofite Sides being Planes 

 equally inclin'd to each other downwards, until they, 

 end at the Hole in the Bottom of the Funnel, which 

 Hole is continued quite thro 5 the Plank into the 

 Trunk. The Shape of this Hole is fhewn in Fig. 9, 

 where the Four Lines a />, b c, c d, and d #, each 

 Line being Three quarters of an Inch, make a true; 

 Square, and are the upper Edges of the Hole. The 

 Three prick'd Lines ef, fg y and g b, being each of 

 them longer than the former, tho' as little as poflible, 

 make the Three lower Edges of the Hole ; which be-
