two farmers in Lincolnshire, took place last week on the Cliff

pair of horses and a i,ingle-furrowed plough, turn up two acres

afternoon, being within seven hours, to the perfect satisfaction
of the judges. The furrows averaged a depth of seven inches,
and the share measured only six and a half inches broad on
