so be en engine for driving the steam plough, liming
been purchased by Mr. Gioia from the Rev. C. ff.
liuriable, of Sutton Walther% together with all
the neeemary adjuncts for seems ploughing. I. that
matter we consider that Mr. GJolo hod shown mach
sprit and enterprise, his object in purchasing this
machinery being to plan it at the disposal of
those persona who might require it, and whom,
erhape, had it not been for these means, would never
ha,,,had an opportunity of having their land ploughed
by stems. Of smarm the porehasing of the
nmehinery for this object mast have been etteorrillicesdw.2
considerable misuse, bat we think the agriculteriaL of
the county, when they ham found the beneficial remits
accruies from the me of the stem plough and culti-
vator, will sty seek to employ them, and we hope
that Mr. Gal 'a undertaking will prove remunerative.
To Mr. Sam Harding, of Seiraford, doe* the credit
bellow of being the find yeoman in this neighbourhood
he employ this machinery upon his farm, and we hope
Ithememple will be speedily followed by others. For the
