This is to give notice to all gentlemen and others, that I furnishthem, on a proper order, with the new invented, light, four-wheel, plain drill-plough,either the single or the double sort, that carries two fixed hoppers on it, a seedhopper, and a manure hopper, being an improvement made on all other drill-ploughswhatsoever; for by its uses, with the assistance of a new invented horsebreak, thatis drawn on two wheels by only one horse, and a very fertilizing compound manure,poor land (by the blessing of Heaven) may be made to produce rich crops of grain,turnips, rapes, or artificial grasses. The double drill-plough sows two drills atonce, drawing along by only one horse, and the break being made to hoe and cleantwo intervals of drill ground at once drawing along, it will thus do more work inone day than twenty men can. I likewise sell the two-wheel Hertfordshire doubleplough, the two-wheel single fallow plough, the two-wheel bob-tail plough, the tarnriseplough, which is a proper one to lay all the ground even where it lies not too wet,by preparing it for the four-wheel drill-plough. Also the drain-foot plough for cuttingwater-furrows, which it does so well, as to throw out earth a spit deep, and a footsquare, at once drawing along with a team of horses, and thus does more of this work,in one day, than twenty or thirty men can: The mole-bank-plough, that I sell butfor one guinea at my house if single, or two if double, will likewise do more ofthis work in one day than forty men can: The late patent little light plough, thatgoes without wheels, is an excellent sort for working in soft earth, and turninga furrow the best of any plough: And chaff-cutting engines. I sell the famous OrangeBell pear-tree, not to be had in any of the nurseries near London, as I couldfind, upon inquiry: The Parsnip apple-tree, whose fruit, with that of the Orangepear-tree, is always ripe in harvest; being a most serviceable, pleasant apple, foreating raw or in pies and pasties, and for making cyder: White damsin and white eldertrees: The excellent black Kerroon cherry-tree: Tame pheasants, guinea hens, andPoland dunghill fowls: The lady-finger and three other sorts of the very best ofnatural grass-seeds; the first comes up the second year, but the three last comeup the first year, the seed of which produces the sweetest of milk, butter, cheese,and flesh, free of many dangerous noxious seeds of weeds that are generally sownwhen hay-seeds are taken out of hay-lofts. I sell receits for compounding varioussorts of manures for the garden or field; also those for preventing assuredly thedamage of flies on turnips or rapes in the field, or lice and caterpillars on cabbages,or on wall fruit trees: Likewise receits for preventing rats of any kind harbouringthe thatch of barns or grainaries, cielings of dwelling-houses, or in the ground,or in malt or mill-houses, by several ways, without giving them any thing to eat;or I kill them and polecats, weasels, &c. several ways, by laying somethingfor them to eat, which is no way poisonous or dangerous; with many other receitsnever yet published. I have further to observe, that on the 12th of June,1749, I brought to London, in order to be sent further, three four-wheel drill-ploughs,one fallow plough, a sowing plough, a chaff-cutting engine, and several other instrumentsin husbandry; the whole number for those foresighted gentlemen, whose industry deserveshigh praise, because they endeavour to introduce the greatest of riches into theircountry, even the foundation of all trade and commerce, viz. the latest improvementsin the art of agriculture. If therefore I say these instruments of husbandry, viz.the four-wheel drill-plough, with its two little harrows of six teeth each, and itstwo little iron gatherers, that gather up the mould, and leave it over the drilledcorn; the horse-break likewise, with its two larger iron gatherers, that surprisinglydeep gathers up the mould of two interval grounds, as the break is drawn along, andleaves it against the stalks of corn, without bruising them; were to be bought bysome persons, who occupy much land, proper for their uses, for hundreds of pounds,I question whether they would buy them too dear. To which I add, that by the workof this plough and break, and proper manure that is to be sow'd out of the manure-hopperon the drilled seed; no worm, slug, snail, fly, or grub, can live near the drilledcorn. And I wish our English gentlemen were as forward as foreigners, in thuspromoting the interest of their landed estates. And for proof of what I here writeof the drill-plough and horsebreak, &c. their operations may be seen atmy farm in Little-Gaddesden aforesaid.

  N. B. As the four wheel drill-plough sows corn,the horsebreak almost finishes hoing the interval ground. Also that these instrumentswill save great expences in large gardens, and in manuring of land: For that quantityof manure, usually employed to dress five acres of land the common old way, willdress fifty acres in the new drill way.--This is the break that exceeds all otherhorse-breaks whatsoever, or any hoe-plough of any sort; for after it has hoed theinterval ground between the drills of corn twice in a summer, and thereby killedall manner of weeds, the hoes are taken off, and the gatherers are put on for twomen to hold and guide, because it cleans three interval lands, as it is drawn alongby only one horse, at once, and throws up mould to the drilled corn, as aforesaid.And thus a field may be sown every year with grain, turnips, cole, or artificialgrass, fifty years together, without any occasion to let it lie in the usual wayto fallow it at all, and this with the least expence possible: For by these excellentinstruments the land is kept in the finest tilth, free of weeds, and manured in thesweetest and richest manner; so that the poorest, chalky, hurlucky, sandy, and othershallow, lean earths, may be fertilized to a very great degree, and thereby madeto bear large crops of these vegetables, to the greatest advantage of the owner;to the parson, by the increase of his tythes; to the labouring men, and to the nationin general.--I also recommend my treatise on sheep and lambs, that I published lastyear, as the most useful book that ever was wrote of the kind (for preserving themfrom the rot, red-water, wood-evil, and all other maladies, and for feeding themfat in a short time, with the least charge, and in the sweetest manner) which issold by R. Baldwin, Jun. at the Rose in Pater-noster-Row, London.
