and shall we not find in this imple-
ment similar benefit to those derived
from trenching? This plough strs
the ground deep, but does not require
much strength. A single horse with
great ease will fellow the ordinary
plough in the same furrow. BY
ploughing and cross ploughing in this
manner the land may be deeply and
.ffectually stirred, and ] am inclined
to the opinion that, if any farmer
doubts the benefits, and will try it With
any crop, he will doubt no longer.


This mode ofpioughng also seems
adapted TO our habits Of extensive far
mers. The labor is much less than
trenching; a very boy can manage the
coulter plough, and the easy draoght
makes it appropriate work for boys
and colts. Our ploughs generally
are for our country greatly preferable
TO the English, and with the same
number of horses we do more work
than they. We use two horses for
the same purpose that they use three.
and with our two We plough from one
quarter 10 one third more land in q
day. Perhaps they do their work
better: they spend more time in leav
ing no sod unturned. If we go or
with our improvements as we have
done, we may hope not only to sur.
pass them in agriculture, but we may
not much care where boundary line:
are now marked.
