FARM IMPLEMENTS.



ways Be Kept sharp.
The tests which have been made In
determining the amount OF force re-
quired in moving plow through the
soil. have pointed out the Importance
OF sharp cutting edge for separating
the adhering portions. The expert
mehts made many years ago In En-
gland gave about thirty-iive per cent
OF the whole required draft expended
In overcoming friction. ten per cent
In lifting and turning the sod. while
hfty-hve per cent. or over one-half was
used for cutting the furrow-slice.
This amount would. of course. vary
hard. dry and clayey. nearly three
fourths OF the draft would be required
for cutting the slice. while In soils
which have been previously pulver-
lied by plowing and hars owing. IL
would be much less than one-half.
But the average. taking all soils to-
gether, the cutting force will be rather
more than overcoming all the friction
OF the rnold-board. sides and bottom.
and for lifting aud turning the furrow-
slice.
This fact shows the Importance OF
keeping all tools sharp which are used
for cutting the soil. A dull hoe or a
dull and rusty spade will waste about
two-thirds OF the strength of the
lahorer who uses them. compared
with tools with sharp and bright
blades. The gardener. whose daily
work in the use OF the spade
amounts TO lifting hundred pounds
OF compact soil in minute. or
six thousand or three tons an hour
(thirty tons day). II he has bright
and sharp spade. will perhaps move
only fifteen tons. possibly less. with a
dun and rusty tool. The other fifteen
tons which he might have turned over
with perfect spade will yet be used
in making himself needIessly fatigued
and discouraged. Work which Is
easily and neatly performed is more
cheerfully and satisfactorily accom-
plished, and is not attended with that
peculiar disheartening fatigue which
attends feeble accomplishment
Every farmer and gardener should
therefore supply himself with the best
tools. kept bright and sharp and in
perfect order. Hoes should be often
sharpened on the grindstone. spades
should never be laid aside with earth
adhering to their blades to produce
sust; the same care should be given To
plows and to the teeth OF cultivators
, and bladed hartowa The season IL
approaching when all these tools are
brought into use. and when labor may
become more efficient by the selection
and use OF good, wcll-sharpened tools.

these occasions by inscribing poetic

MIR. Alfred Russell Wallace has re-

Mr. Wallace Is a spiritualist and a

facts. or n great many. rather, to show
there is continual competition. strug-

struggle Is ever acting over the whole
field OF nature. and no single species Of
plant or animal can escape from It.
Says Mr.. Wallace: This results from
the fact OF the rapid increase. In geo.
metrical ratio. OF all species of animals
and plants. In the lower orders this
increase is especially rapid. a single
flesh ny producing 10000 lary@. and
these growing so quickly that they
reach their full size In five days; hence
the great Swedish naturalist, Linnaus,
asserted thai dead horse would be

To prevent this tremendous increase
there must DO incessant war against
