Defcription of Mr, Sanxter's Plough for Paring 

 of Land — and its Ufes. 



BEING lately at Horfeheath, I called on 

 Mr. Sanxter, an ingenious farmer of that place, 

 to view his newly invented plough for paring 

 land which is to be burned. The operation of 

 paring was formerly performed by men, by 

 what is termed bread-ploughing: but the work 

 is done much better and quicker by Mr. Sanx- 

 ter's machine. He is now foliciting a patent 

 for it : and from the trial I faw made of it, I 

 am fo convinced of its great utility, that I take 

 the liberty to recommend it to all thofe enga- 

 ged in agricukure. The plough is very fim- 

 ple in its conftrudllon, and will do its v/ork 

 with one good horfe and a man. It will pare 

 a fod from nine inches to fifteen inches width, 

 as the ploughman choofes. An induftrious
