AGRIGUI IYU RAE,
The Rest Tool For Tillage.

The stirring of the soil, after the crops
are first started, is matter OF the first I'M
nortaree. From one half to three tourths
Of crop of corn may be made by tillage
alone. On old land, well stocked with
weeds, not over twenty bushels to the acre
could be realized without cultivation -
Twice hoeing and cultivating would proba-
bly add ten bushels to the acre, and twice
more would bring tie crop up to forty
bushels per acre. We have seen estimates
from farmers who experimental upon this
point, showing that every hoelng added
from FIVE to ten bushels to the acre.
A great deal of ingenuity has been ex-
pended upon the implements of tillage
The hoe is good enough, but for Its expen-
siveness. The light horse plow, or sweep,
is much more economical; but these tools
require two or three burrows to each row,
and are a pretty heavy tax upon the
strength of the horse. The horse harrow,
and cultivator, are great Improvements on
the plow. for they are much lighter and
stir the ground deep enough. The horse
hoe is much lighter implement than the
cultivator, and if a farmer is investing III
new tools, he should get this in preference
to the cultivator. 1t is merely question
of economizing the strength Of the horse
A good steel-toothed cultivator will make
a clean sweep of every weed within an
inch of the rows Of corn, and stir the
ground deep enough. a horse-hoe could
not do the work much better, though it
would draw easier and the horse might get
over little more ground in a day.
We need not so much better implements
of tillage as a more frequent use of those
We have. Corn can be cultivated wholly
with the horse, after the first wedding, if
the rows run both ways; and we doubt if
any better use can be made of horse flesh
after the first Of June than to keep it run
ming between the rows Of corn. We are
confident that five times cultivating will
pay much better than once or twice. AS
between the horse-hoe and the steel tooth
ed cultivator upon smooth land, we should
say that is the best which is most used
