An encyclopædia of agriculture [electronic An encyclopædia of agriculture [electronic resource] : comprising the theory and practice of the valuation, transfer, laying out, improvement, and management of landed property, and the cultivation and economy of the animal and vegetable productions of agriculture, including all the latest improvements, a general history of agriculture in all countries, and a statistical view of its present state, with suggestions for its future progress in the British Isles encyclopdiaofa01loud Year: 1831 wheel (b). In most soils, four horses and a driver and bolder are necessary to work this instrument; which, however, no good fanner will ever require the aid of, unless it be when entering upon haul which has been allowed to run wild, or clay of an extraor- dinary degree of tenacity. We have seen it extensively and advantageously used, on the latter description of soil, by Mr. Dickson of Kidbrook farm, Blackheath, Surrey. {Card. *[ag. vol. iv. p. lf,6.) - 2703. As substitutes for the last two implements, may be mentioned Finlayson's harrow {2G57.), Wilkin's brake (2656.)] a°d Kirkwood's improved grubber, which will be afterwar* s figured and described, the invention being only made public while the present sheet is passing through the press (February 15.). Bartlett's cultivator, Brown's cross-cutting machine, the Sythney scarifier, and the spiky roller, noticed in next section, are used for a part of the purposes of the last two implements.
