This is to give notice to all gentlemen and others, that I furnish them, 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 seed hopper, and a manure hopper, being an improvement made on all other drill-ploughs whatsoever; for by its uses, with the assistance of a new invented horsebreak, that is 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 at once, drawing along by only one horse, and the break being made to hoe and clean two intervals of drill ground at once drawing along, it will thus do more work in one day than twenty men can. I likewise sell the two-wheel Hertfordshire double plough, the two-wheel single fallow plough, the two-wheel bob-tail plough, the tarnrise plough, 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 cutting water-furrows, which it does so well, as to throw out earth a spit deep, and a foot square, 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 but for one guinea at my house if single, or two if double, will likewise do more of this work in one day than forty men can: The late patent little light plough, that goes without wheels, is an excellent sort for working in soft earth, and turning a furrow the best of any plough: And chaff-cutting engines. I sell the famous Orange Bell pear-tree, not to be had in any of the nurseries near London, as I could find, upon inquiry: The Parsnip apple-tree, whose fruit, with that of the Orange pear-tree, is always ripe in harvest; being a most serviceable, pleasant apple, for eating raw or in pies and pasties, and for making cyder: White damsin and white elder trees: The excellent black Kerroon cherry-tree: Tame pheasants, guinea hens, and Poland dunghill fowls: The lady-finger and three other sorts of the very best of natural grass-seeds; the first comes up the second year, but the three last come up 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 sown when hay-seeds are taken out of hay-lofts. I sell receits for compounding various sorts of manures for the garden or field; also those for preventing assuredly the damage 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 harbouring the 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 something for them to eat, which is no way poisonous or dangerous; with many other receits never 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 instruments in husbandry; the whole number for those foresighted gentlemen, whose industry deserves high praise, because they endeavour to introduce the greatest of riches into their country, even the foundation of all trade and commerce, viz. the latest improvements in 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 its two little iron gatherers, that gather up the mould, and leave it over the drilled corn; the horse-break likewise, with its two larger iron gatherers, that surprisingly deep gathers up the mould of two interval grounds, as the break is drawn along, and leaves it against the stalks of corn, without bruising them; were to be bought by some 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 work of this plough and break, and proper manure that is to be sow'd out of the manure-hopper on the drilled seed; no worm, slug, snail, fly, or grub, can live near the drilled corn. And I wish our English gentlemen were as forward as foreigners, in thus promoting the interest of their landed estates. And for proof of what I here write of the drill-plough and horsebreak, &c. their operations may be seen at my 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 instruments will save great expences in large gardens, and in manuring of land: For that quantity of manure, usually employed to dress five acres of land the common old way, will dress fifty acres in the new drill way.--This is the break that exceeds all other horse-breaks whatsoever, or any hoe-plough of any sort; for after it has hoed the interval ground between the drills of corn twice in a summer, and thereby killed all manner of weeds, the hoes are taken off, and the gatherers are put on for two men to hold and guide, because it cleans three interval lands, as it is drawn along by 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 artificial grass, fifty years together, without any occasion to let it lie in the usual way to fallow it at all, and this with the least expence possible: For by these excellent instruments the land is kept in the finest tilth, free of weeds, and manured in the sweetest and richest manner; so that the poorest, chalky, hurlucky, sandy, and other shallow, lean earths, may be fertilized to a very great degree, and thereby made to 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 nation in general.--I also recommend my treatise on sheep and lambs, that I published last year, as the most useful book that ever was wrote of the kind (for preserving them from the rot, red-water, wood-evil, and all other maladies, and for feeding them fat in a short time, with the least charge, and in the sweetest manner) which is sold by R. Baldwin, Jun. at the Rose in Pater-noster-Row, London.
