under the beam, to run before it in the fame 

 manner as in the Norfolk plough. There are 

 three coulters with a fhare riveted under each 

 of them, made at the point, like a fleam, fharp, 

 and about fourteen inches wide. The coulters 

 penetrate under the mould as deep as the plough, 

 and, without moving the earth much, cut up 

 thiftlcs, brackens. Sec, better than any inftru- 

 ment I have vet met with. Where fuch weeds 

 are very numerous, I ufe a beam with one 

 wheel, into which I put one of the coulters, to 

 cut between the rows of the drills i it will pe- 

 netrate any depth that can be required. The 

 one with three fhares will with a pair of horfes 

 do as much work in one day as three ploughs. 

 It is to be obferved, this machine will work on- 

 ly upon light land, when the fallow is well bro- 

 ken, and nearly clean of twitch. The frame 

 of the drag, by changing rhe teeth, will do all 

 thofe things. Where kitlocks grow, this ma- 

 chine will be found very ufeful -, and it is of 

 fuch a fimple conftrudlion that any perfon may 

 make one.
