of the value of this right arm |

him that the good effects of hoeing |
are not merely the killing of grass and |
weeds but that its greater good, especially |
iii dry weather, is to expose Il moist sur
face that will absorb ammonia, the active
principle of 9uauo and other fertilizers, !
often not worth the freight pad upon them.
and You teach him how much Cheaper is
the gtsano which follows the use of the hoe
or its substitute. This knp%,le iec too
