Clear Fields.

With cultivated crops especially It ia
quite an item to have the soil In as good
condition as possible. Long weeds, stalks
or grass interfere more or less with the
preparation Of the soil as well as the plant
Ing and cultIvating or the crops. With
many the old plan OF managing was to go
over the fields often with hoe and cut the
stalks down, and then with q light horse
rake gather them into piles and burn. Some
used harrow to break them down and
gather into piles. Another good plan was
TO take . good stout pole, SIX inches In
diamater and ten or twelve feet long, cut o
notch one third of the length Of the pole,
from the ends cut q notch and fastcn q chain,
and to this attach tho doubietrees. This
will break them down very rapidly, a,d
burned. While there IS but little value in
cry stalks, weeds or grass, yet they must be
got into shape somehow SO that they will
not interfere any more with the cultivation
than is possible. II In doing this tho work
is not materially Increased, aud ut the snme
time whatever value thcy contain MS r. fer.
tIlizer will be turned into tho soil, that, OF
course, would seem the best plan.
