uncommonly smooth. It requires from six to eight horses^ 

 six men, and one woman ; threshes, without any ques- 

 tion, much cleaner than the flail, and, without any 

 douht, cheaper. To bring it to its present perfe6tion 

 cost Mr. Johnson much time, attention, and expense ; 

 but as he was determined to carry his p:)int, he never 

 stopped till it worked to his mind ; and having completed 

 it, the repairs have been quite trifling. He attributes the 

 common complaints of their being always out of order, 

 to original errors or inattention in the constru6lion. The 

 arrangement is excellent, for disposing of the chafF, colder, 

 straw, and corn, at once, in their respedlive places, with- 

 out any confusion or removals ; and it takes up a very 

 small part of a barn. It was built by Mr. Wigful, of 

 Lynn.
