How to plough without leaving ridges and
dead burrows is getting to be one of the I'M
portant questions among farmers of taste
and neatncss. Dead burrows, besides being
so much in the way of the improved ma
chinery now in general use, are an eycsorc
to all admirers of smooth fields.
At q late discussion in the Utica Farm
crs' Club, Mr. J \ Coon said he ploughed
in lands back.iurrowing half of the time
swinging round the ends and never ploughs
across the ends of his LANDS and saves time
oyer.urniDg corners, and thinks he can
plough faster in sthat way. The second
year turns his back furrow into the old dead
furrow, and SO keeps his field level and

to make as few dead burrows as possible.
on account of the liability to wash, and the
wear and the tear OF reapers and other ma.
chincry S IL llibbarl SAID, to avoid dead
burrows he would begin in the middle and
throw the burrows in. Mr. Brown does not
plough in lands ploughs around the whole
field. whether 1t be five acres or forty, throw
ing the burrows ont. The next year begins
where he lcft of, that is, in the middle, and
throws the burrows in. Likes this plan bet
ter than any other. Mr. West said the plan
advocated by Mr. Brown may do very well
on his farm where the fields are all rectan-
gular in shane and bounr dby straight lines.
