4 i4 APPENDIX. 



When the Dtill-harrow is taken off, the faeft way 

 for taking Tip the Plough to turn it, is to bore a Hold 

 of about half an Inch Diameter in the End of each 

 Beam behind the Funnels, and fallen a Withe into 

 thefe Holes ; by which Withe the Driller very con- 

 veniently takes hold with one Hand, and lifts up the 

 Plough, laying his other Hand on the Hopper to 

 keep it fteady. This Method of taking up the Plough 

 hath been often ufed for the Wheat-drill, and for the 

 Turnep-drill ; and in the latter the Hole in the one 

 Beam holds the Withe as well as do the Two Holes 

 in the former. 



There are new Editions of fome of thefe Engines, 

 which cannot be fully defcribed without more Plates ; 

 but fince thofe already defcribed are found by Expe- 

 rience to be fufficient for the Purpofes they were de- 

 figned for, new Editions of them are not neceiTary, 

 tho' convenient in many refpefts. 



Reafon will eafily make Additions to the Inftru- 

 ments when they are neceflary ; as when more than 

 one Brafs Spindle is to be turned by one or each Wheel 

 for planting Clover amongft Barley after it is come up. 

 *Tis done by a very light Plough, drawn by a Man: 

 It plants Four Rows at once Eight Inches afunder : 

 The Shares are very fhort and narrow, and fo are the 

 Sheats and Trunks. 'Tis not difficult to put on a 

 Crank at the other End of the Brafs Spindle, in the 

 fame manner that the Handle that winds up a Jack 

 is put on, and to fatten it at the Hole at I in Fig. 5. 

 of Plate 2. This Crank mud, at its firft turning, 

 before it turns up towards the Letter H, of the fame 

 Fig. be long enough to reach to within an Inch of the' 

 Fork of the Second Spindle. Thus each Wheel may 

 turn feveral Spindles, and then this Drill may plant 

 many Rows of Seeds at once. 



When you plant Rows nearer together than Eight 

 Inches, it is bed that the Plough have Two Ranks of 

 Shares and Hoppers, elfe the Earth may be driven 



before
