40Z Of the Hoe-Plough, &c. Chap. XXIII. 



to place the Beam by the Holes B and E, in Fig. 3. 

 and the Draw-pin near the left Limber, which brings 

 the Tail of the Plough to the Right-hand, and the 

 fore Ends of the Limbers being towards the Left, the 

 End of the right Limber (by turning the Handles a 

 little to the Left) bears againft the wooden Saddle at 

 d, and cannot hitch into or take hold of any of the 

 Plants to tear them. And that no Part of the Limber 

 may take hold of any Plant, we make it very fmooth 

 from one End to the other ; and cutoff the Corner of 

 the Plank equal with the Limber, that the Plants may 

 flip by it without hanging in it, or being broken by it. 

 The Whipper (landing towards the left End of the 

 Plank, its End b does not reach fo far towards the 

 right as to take hold of the Plants, its End a being 

 over the Interval, where no Plams are; and to keep 

 its right End the more out of Danger of hurting the 

 Plants, we place the Hook of its Chain nearer to- 

 wards this End, by which means the left End, be- 

 coming heavier, finks lower, and raifes the right End 

 higher ; and the higher it is, the more fecure the Plants 

 will be from it; becaufe they are held off by the 

 Limber above. 



This way my Turnep-feed has been ho'd, when 

 one would have thought it impoffible for a Plough 

 and Horfes to go betwixt the Rows without deftroy- 

 ing the Crop. Almoft in this manner we give our 

 Wheat the laft Hoeing, to turn the Furrow a Second 

 time towards the Row. When the Plants of the Rows 

 are very high, the Driver muft go in the next Interval, 

 on the Left of the Plough; and the Holder has a Cord, 

 like the Reins of a Bridle, which he lays over th« 

 End of the Draw-pin, which keeps it from falling 

 down, until he has occafion to ufe it for guiding or 

 turning the Thiller. 



When we turn the Furrow from the Row (which 

 will then be ever on the left Side of the Plough), the 

 Plough muft be fet in a very different and contrary
