city of the movements, expe£l that It will be hi that 

 respedl the least expensive. 



Mr. Beck, of Castle Riseing, has a threshing-mill 

 built by Mr. Wigful, of Lynn ; he works it with four, 

 five, or six horses, three men and three women. It 

 threshes 32 combs of wheat, 64 of barley, or 80 of pease, 

 in a day ; cost 200 guineas, and has had very trifling re- 

 pairs in three years, not 3I. and threshes barley as clean 

 as anv other grain. I saw it at its work, and clean done. 



CHAFF-CUTTER. 



Mr. BuRToK, of Langley, has so high an opinion of 

 cutting hay into chafF, that he gives his horses nothing 

 else; and finds that a bushel weighing 141b. will go as 

 far as 30lb. given in the common way. 



Mr. Kerrich, of Harleston, has attached one of 

 Salmon's chafF-cutters, which cost him twenty-two 

 guineas, to his malt mill ; and as he had to fix it in a 

 chamber near to the stable, for the chaff to fall at once 

 into the chaff-room, which joins it, and the whole build- 

 ing detached from the mill, he very ingeniously con- 

 trived a communication of the power, under the pavement 

 of the yard, by a universal joint. The engine cuts 40 

 bushels an hour, with no other expense than feeding; 

 and the addition of labour to the horse so small, that a 

 inan*s force will take the whole pressure off. He finds 

 the saving, by giving hay in chaff only, to amount, at the 

 lowest computation, lo one-fourth. He also applies the 

 engine to cutting green rye, mixed with an equal quantity 

 of hay, which makes a most fragrantly sweet food, with 

 attention not tokeep it after cutting more than six or seven 

 hours. Two acres of rye thus used in soiling, last twenty 



horses
