After reading our editors article on plow-
ing iu the issue of October 30, was tempted
to add few additional remarks. As he
truly says, there isl great variety Of pat.
terms aud styles Of plOws for accomplishing
the same object. The first great object,
everything else being equal, is to invert the
sod and pulverize the soil and make it suita-
BILE for the reception of the seed this can be
done to some extent with the plow and the
pillow which AccomplIShes this work with
the least draught and opposition is, generally
speaking, the best plOw. In inverting the
soil three things are to be considered, cut
ting, lifting aud turning. 1t matters not
how good and perfect the plow may be, IT
the plowman does not understand his BUSH
ness, it is utterly impossible for the plow TO
do good work. have employed many diff
ferent hands during this last thirty years aud
as yet have never had plOwman that un'
derStOOd the mechanical part Of adjusting
the plow to the different kinds Of soil like
wise adjusting the plOw to the different sized
teams; in adjusting the PlOw to a team
when one horse is considerable taller than
the other, tis much more difficult than wheu
both horses are more nearly size.
In plowiOg the different kinds Of soil
many things are to be taken into cOnsidsFA'
