Hill on his Back, and draw it down after him : This 

 Drill has Five or Six Sheats in one Row (with the 

 Harrow behind them). Their Shares being extremely 

 fhort, the Standards which draw the Hopper muft be 

 fet perpendicular to the Horizon, when the Drill is 

 coming down, rather than to the Surface of the Side 

 of the Hill : The Funnels muft alfo correfpond with 

 the Standards. 



Some, inftead of thefe Sheats, make ufe of hollow 

 wooden Harrow-tines, thro' which the Seed defcends: 

 But thefe I do not approve of; becaufe where the 

 Ground is hard, and not fine, they rife up, and make 

 no Chanels for the Seed \ and then it lying uncover'd 

 will be malted. 



When a Drill has only one Rank of Shares, we 

 fcrew on the Harrow by its Legs, to the Infide of the 

 Two outfide Sheats, as near as we can to their fore 

 Shoulders, leaving fufricient room for the Harrow to 

 rife and fink, in the fame manner as when it is drawn 

 by the Beams.
