among the implements ot agriculture in
all ages. Noah cultivated the Vim ard y:
made wine immediately after the fl jod,
but it is supposed that grain was fit at
cultivated on the banks of the Nite, ia
llgypt. The invention of the plough
niyst hatft been neatly ccevl with the
aising of grain. The first plough,
sa)s Jwhuin his Umlical Arch3cology
was nothiitg more than the atuut limb
of a tree, from which prjected another
shortened and pointed limb. The furl It
er end of the long branch was fateitcd
o the joke, and a handle was added by
w hich the plough might be guidrdl -Mn
Loudon say s . the plough originally
used was of the pick kind, and he gives
a figure of one on an ancient medal dog;
upat Syracuse, wt.icn resembles a pick
axe. The letter A. (alpha) is uppt td 9

ients. Mr. Loudon rental ks, that tho

not maiei iallv diffeteht in the tinie S
Moses, 3l00.yeais ago, from what

In Persia the lower part of the plough is
long wedge shaped thing, and the t cam
and handle are inserted in the top cf this
block ; in some dblrnts the driver standi
n the wedge or shares. In ilindostati
the ploughs are of thie thick shape! and
ire but little better than pointed stuks.
The figures of some of them resemble

The plough of the modern Greeks has a
