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. Agriculture. in a trunk under the road, by means of which a toothed wheel is made to revolve, and to turn a toother pinion affixed to the swinging-post or axle of the gate, and hence to throw it open or close it. {Newton'i Journal, vol. xiv. p. 225.) In an agricultural point of view, this gate is of no use; but as a curiosity it is worth noticing, and perhaps in the drives or ridings in somt pleasure-grounds and parks it might be worth executing. In England it might save the tax on a groom, and in America and Australia it might be as good as a helper, which, for such aids as opening gates are not very easy to be found. 3108.

Then, while the weight of the short ends of the bars keeps them in a fencible position, a slight pressure on the other end will form a passage {(I) which any one may easily step across. 3110. Bridges are frequently required on estates and farms, for crossing ditches and water-cour
