Practice with Science.— One of the best implement 

 for thoroughly working the ground, and cleansing it < 

 all sorts of weeds, is Mr. Garrett's patent horse-ho< 

 This may be adapted to his drill machine, which make 

 the two act well together. It is suited to all methods < 

 cultivation, whether broad, flat, or ridge ploughing, an 

 is adapted to hoeing corn or pulse of all sorts, as we

either walk in the furrow or in any direction to avoi 

 injury to the crop. Each hoe works on a lever, ind< 

 pendent of the others. The hoes may be set to au 

 width, from 7 inches to any wider space ; and by tl 

 easy method of steering they may be guided with tl 

 handle behind to the greatest ninety. .Mr. Hewitt ! >av

 had practically tested its utility. By its use, all cor 

 sown in rows from 9 inches upwards may be hoed in 

 superior manner, and at an expense of only Is. per acn

 most useful implements that has made its appearance 

 of late years is Dr. Newington's hand-drii. - 

 vator. The great merit of it is, that it completes its work 

 easily yet efficiently, that it effects it by hand labour 

 cheaply, and that its whole cost is only 30* This im-

 two for each row ; the same for Carrots, Mangold Wur- 1

shares, they penetrate the ground on the implement So much valuable labo 

 being dragged on. The labourer has nothing to attend could be employed to a 



nature, and become still more so by the winter i 

 may require more power than a man can give, to work 

 the implement efficiently. In this case it may be desir- 

 able that the rows should be first gone through w 

 Mr. Garrett's more powerful horse-hoe, and follow 

 by this some time afterwards, when the ground is tol 

 ably dry. One advantage of it is that its use may
