6t IMPLEMENTS. 



c d, a part of tiie beam of the plough. 

 a b, the cross-beam. 



iron reins, or bars to strengthen the cross-beanj. 



The coulters which are fixed into the 

 cross-beam, do not stand perpendicularly, 

 but inclining, as the coulter o: the head of 

 the plough, thus they are fixed into the 

 cross-beam by a screw, a b, and a nut, c d. 



The advantage of this scuffler above any that 1 have 

 seen is, that it is used with two horses only. It does the 

 work of more than two ploughs, as the three shares cut 

 nearly the width of 30 inches, whereas two ploughs would 

 cut only 24 inches. My farm consists of heavy land, as 

 well as land of a mixed soil. 



No. IV. 



Next I am to describe my Hoe-Plough, which I formed 

 purposely to scarify and hoe wheat on tour-furrow work. 

 At the time when I visited Mr. Lindsey, 1 saw a 

 double mould board foot-plough, which he sent to Mr. 

 MuNNiNGS, and from it I had one made like it. Upon 

 the beam of this hoe-plough I have fixed two scarifiers (or 

 hoes, as I want them), [See Plate V. Fig. 2.] 



A B represents a part of the back of the beam of the 

 plough ; A the head, and B the tail. — c e is a small iron 

 bolt, with a nut and screw at one end, fixed into a cap 

 upon the beam, to be taken out at pleasure. At each end 

 of this bolt is fixed a chain, c d, e f, each two feet long, 

 and hooked to plates of iron, d g, t h. These plates, d g, 

 fh, are flat, and %\ inches long, 2 {inches broad, and 

 moveable upon staples fastened into the beam : upon the 



ends
