WEST DEVONSHIRE. 123 



The bottom of each pot is a falling door, 

 on a ftrong and fimple conflrudion. The 

 'place of delivery being reached, the trap 

 is unlatched, and the load releafed. 



Lime is univerfally carried in narrow 

 BAGS 3 two or three of them being thrown 

 acrofs a 



Packsaddle^ which is of wood, and 

 of the ordinary conftrudion. 



VI.ThePLOW,— provincially"sEWL," 

 pronounced " zewl,"— refembles, in ge- 

 neral appearance, the old-fafnioned Plows 

 of other Diftrids ; but has three notable 

 peculiarities of conftrudion. It has no 

 rice or wrefl ; the mold board flanding 

 fome inches above the level of the chip, 

 head, foal, or keel of the Plow. This, in 

 turning whole ground, is fometimes an 

 advantage ; but, in a loofe fallow, fuch a 

 tool rathet makes a rut than a furrow; 

 half the foil, perhaps, remaining unflirred. 

 Another variation in the conilrudion of 

 the Devonfliire Plow is flill more fmgular. 

 The iheath, breaft, or flem is not fixed in 

 the beam ; but ferves as a regulator to the 



depth
