i, i, a chain of long links, fastened to a ring 

 that embraces the base of each point of 

 the share,' into which chain, at k, is in- 

 troduced the handle 1 ; this acts so as to 

 bring the points together rather than to 

 separate them. 



It must be observed that the inner edge 

 of these points is turned downward, so 

 that" when the handle or spatula 1 is put in 

 at k, and is laid upon one of them, the 

 earth is thrown on one side, and this is 

 done alternately with the two points. The 

 part m is slightly curved, as well as the 

 points proceeding from it. When it is in- 

 tended to make a deep trench, as in cut- 

 ting through turf in the marshes, 1 is laid 

 parallel to m, while the rings at f, f, as well 

 as at i, i, prevent the plough-share from 

 going too far downward. 



No kind of plough is used at Tornea, all 

 the ofround beins: turned over M'ith the 

 spade. The same is the case at Kimi, ex-
