IMP LEMEN 11 8.

TnF Berkshire waggon has long been noticed, for its peculiat lightness and elegance; and although in different parts of the county, it may vary some little in the construction, it combines, in the whole, three great recomfnendations- viz. easy draught; strength; and, from being built low, is better calculated to load, and unload, than most other carriages of the kind.

The carts are likewise formed on good principles, and well suited to the respective purposes, for which they are wanted.

In a county, so pre-eminent in its larger implements of hus- bandry, it is a matter of surprise, that the plough should be found a heavy, clumsy instrument, with a massy beam, share, and mould-board, much better adapted for trenching ploughs, than for the uses required of them.

The smaller implements of husbandry are also formed in many instances, very awkwardly; and although, some spirited farmers have introduced various useful implements, from other counties; such as the drill, the shim, and scarifier(all excellent for the soil of Berkshire), as well as improving the ploughs, and harrows, of the county; yet there are still to be found, many of the old

chool, so prejudiced as to think, that without hcary. unwieldy instruments, the land would not be properly worked.

OBSERVATIONS. To facilitate the operations of agriculture, and to adopt a sys- tem of economy in its necessary labour, are very material, and obvious advantages, and su h as the farmer, for his own sake, ought to listen to, since his interest is highly connected with their adoption. I cannot, therefore, withhold censuring, not only the plough at present used in Berks, but the mode of working it. Four
