 cing in favourable feafons two loads of 

 hay per acre ; he fows 4 lb. of Dutch 

 clover and 6 lb. of rib grafs feed : The firft 

 at 6 d. per lb. the laft at 4 d. and finds that

 into the carts, whereas in the former it 

 will, after the operation, be to be thrown 

 into the carts : fo that I much queftion 

 whether any thing would be faved by the 

 ufe of this machine ; however, I have given
