IMPLEMENTS. 6^ 



Mr. Whiting is well satisfied with it; no flails in com- 

 mon management equal it for cleanness, and with bar- 

 ley as well as all other sorts of corn. 



The horse-wheel is upon a different constru6lion from 

 the common ones, working by a cogged-wheel of small 

 diameter below, instead of above the horses; and the 

 communicating spindle under their path ; but Mr. 

 Whiting says it is hard work. 



Mr. Styleman, of Snettishara, has a very capital 

 mill, which cost 300I. It is worked by 8 horses, and 

 threshes in a day of 8 hours 120 comb of barley, pease, 

 or oats, and 80 of wheat. It is afterwards dressed in the 

 hand machine.

The wheat is therefore threshed at 6d. per comb, and 

 the other sorts of corn at 4|d. As to clean work, it does 

 every sort of corn far cleaner than the generality of task- 

 ing, and barley equally with the rest. 



Mr. Coke, of Holkham, has a very large machine, 

 whicii cost about 600I. Besides threshing, it grinds corn, 

 works two chaff-cutters, and breaks oil-cake.
