The journal of the Ministry of Agriculture. . ows midway between the old ones, at a dis-tance apart equal to the width of the land ploughed at eachbout, as shown in the accompanying sketch. For land where drainage furrows do not exist, a central ploughbody, with double mould-board, will be provided, suspendedbetween the twin underframes, the object being to open outa central furrow so that the plough can work as abovedescribed and plough the fields in lands similarly to themethod adopted with ordinary horse ploughs. The right hand underframe which is a Uttle in front of theother turns the first furrow into one half of the open furrow,where one exists—which is always the case when the landhas been ploughed in stetches —and the first plough onthe left-hand frame turns a furrow into the other half of theopen furrow. If no open furrow exists, the central ploughopens up one. The last plough on each frame leaves half anopen furrow on each side of the land ploughed, and when theimplement is turned round at the headland and commences.
