IMPLEMENTS, 63 



ends of these flat plates of iron are hsed two pieces of 

 wood, do, f p, paralielopipeds, 2 feet 3 inches long, 2f 

 inches broad, and af thick ; moveable at d and f by hooks 

 (upon the wootl of the same bieadth as tlie ii on plates), 

 and eyes (upon t!ie iron places). The points q and r 

 mark, the distances to which the expanding mould-boards 

 are opened, viz. aiir.m 10 inches from one to the other. 



At m and n, distances beyond the points q and r, are cut 

 grooves through the wooden paralielopipeds, for the scari-

k 1, is a flat piece ot iron, 3 feet long, and 2 inches 

 broad, y an inch thick, passing through grooves in each 

 parallelepiped, and in the grooves through which it passes 

 are screws to fasten it. This iron does not communicate 

 with the beam of the plough. At s and t, points on each 

 side the beam, are hung weights, such as may be necessary

I do not describe my scarifiers and hoes, because they 

 are nearly the same as are used upon all instruments of 

 this kind. 



RAKE. 



The hand -wheel rake of Fleg is an excellent implement 

 for both hay and corn : it is to answer the purpose of the

 the two wheels of nine inches diameter, so fixed that the 

 Jecth are kept in any position, at the will of the holder.

 very best of tJie larger machines, Tlie movements are
