THE FOUR-WHEELED TROLLY 
Is common over Severn; consisting of a bed resem* 
tiling a small waggon, mounted on four wheels, with 
poles for harvest, or other top loading mounted on it* 
the whole constructed low, the leading wheels being 
only 3 feet high, the hind wheels 3 feet 6 inches, very 
convenient for conveying ploughs, harrows, or other 
implements, remnants of harvest, fire wood, faggots, or 
anything; the whole being light and forming a wag¬ 
gon in miniature, and may be drawn any where by 
two or three horses, and is found very useful and con¬ 
venient. A similar carriage, on low cast iron wheels, is 
much used in the city of Worcester, for carrying coals, 
hops, &c. from the wharfs, about the town. 
The sledge with hind wheels, the fore part sledging 
on the ground, is used west of Severn for conveying 
ploughs, barrows, &c. I think this implement much 
inferior to the last. 
Winnowing machines are in Use; those by Cornfortb, 
Chapel, Ash, Wihampton, generally preferred : price 
from 6 to 7 guineas. The common labourers’ tools 
have nothing singular ; rakes, hoes, spades, shovels, &c. 
are in use ; but as far as I have been able to observe, 
•without any peculiarities, and their form and manner 
of using them every where generally known. 
As the foregoing account of ploughs was drawn up 
before I had an opportunity of particularly noticing 
Mr. Knight’s implements, I beg leave to add that his 
ploughs are somewhat different in pi'inciple to those 
before described, they resemble the plough, No. 1, 
but have no wheels, and are light in construction, they 
are drawn by two horses abreast, and the man at the 
plough tails, guides the horses at the end by small in
