To remedy this inequa- lity in the size of cattle, the inven- tor has added a ivhipple-trce E, that may be raised or lowered at pleasure, by means of notches, e, to which it is cor^ne&ed by a ring.

There are a so two wooden pegs g, g, by which the harrows are secured, when turned upon the carnage. In ease it should beobje&ed, that the harrow must be expensive on account of the iron, the inventor state.,, that an axle-tree and j< ints maybe readily cons trusted of wood, upon the same -principles as exhi- bited in the last cut, at the letter G ; though he prefers iron to v.ny other material : and, if the wheel under the hind-bars should not be adopted, Mr. Knight has placed a slider, H, that works widi a pin, and, when not in use., is fastened under the axle-tree. He observes, that his harrow may be easily raised or lowered, according to the surface of the land, bv fixing an iron with notches (similar to those on the fore-bar, which sup- port the whippk -trees), on tlie hind-bar. instead of the hooks; and bv putting the latter on those irons. He computes the price of his har- rows, if new iron be employed,, at 41. 13s.
