equal to this, and has the fame Office, at the other 

 End of the Hopper; marked I. Likewife the Bar D 

 is of the fame Ufe with thefe mentioned fhort Bars, 

 and they help to ftrengthen one another. 



When the Wheels are put on till they reach near 

 to the Wreaths, they will {land with their Rings, or 

 Circles, Two Feet Three Inches afunder. 



We fet them as near together as, conveniently we 

 can; becaufe when they are too wide, they are apt to 

 draw the Plough towards one Side or" the Ridge ; and

 bear upon the Funnels; and then the Wheels, being 

 carried above the Ground, would not turn to bring:

 the Top of the fore Side of the Hopper, and give 

 room for either of its Wheels to rife.

 Figure of a Box, like the other already defcribed, at 

 its Ends, which are of the fame Shape with the Infide 

 of the Box, Fig. 12. but much lower, being Seven 

 Inches and an half deep, and Sixteen Inches long ; 

 and the Breadth of its Bottom is determined by the 

 Length of the Seed-box, and a little wider at Top, 

 on account of the Bevel which poifes it : It carries 

 no more Seed th^n one End of the hinder Hopper ;
