SOME PLOW POINTS.

Presented by Rural New Yorker and Re-
lating to SuIky and Common Plows.
A plow is a three sided wedge The
power necessary to drive it through the
soil (the draft) depends upon the shape
Of the wedge (the amount of twist in
the moldboard), the size of the chunk
to be split (the depth of the furrow) and
the kind and condition of soil The fric-
tion on the moldboard is equal to that
on both bottom and land side. The fric-
tion on the moldboard cannot be avoid
ed or lessened beyond having the steel
as hard and smooth as possible, but the
friction on the bottom and land side can
be largely done away with by hanging
the plow on wheels and having all the
bottom and side pressure carried on
creased spindles This is done in proper
ly constructed and properly managed
sullzy plows, and thus one-half the draft
is lessened.
In common hand plows the bottom
pressure or friction may be lessened by
getting the team as near the plow as
possible. 1t is true that the longer the
traces the steadier the pSw will run,
but if the land side and point are long
we may get the team back where they
can do good deal of lifting and still
have the plow run steadily. We should
choose a hand plow with short beam
and long bottom, in sulky plows one
which is SO arranged that both the bot
tom and sioe pressure is carried on
wheels.
The harder the moldboard of a plow
the easier it will "scour, " and the less
friction there will be. Also the easier
will it break if there are solid stones to
be encountered. The same may be said
Of plowShares.
When steel shares are used, and no
stones are found, it is we'll to have the
shares tempered hard by heating to dull
red after sharpening and plunging in
water. If there are stones in the land,
the shares should be softened by being
allowed to cool slowly after sharpening.
They will then be so soft that when they
become dulled or battered by running
against stones they may be sharpened
in the field by drawing out with ham
mer and hand anvil
When plow is started without any
trouble in the spring, it generally means
that it was given a coat Of tallow when
it was put in the shed in the fall When
we see a man spending valuable time in
the spring securing plow with brick
bat, we wonder if he is the same fellow
who used it the previous fall

Literally Roasted Alive in the Very Pres
ence of Help That Could Not Save.
Rosa Curry, domestic in the Hotel
Jackson, met with II horrible accident
last Saturday afternoon while dis
charging her duties at that place.
She had just filled. the lamps in a large
chandelier which hangs quite near
heating stove in the sitting room, and
while attempting to slide the lamps
back to their place, the whole thing
became detached and fell One of the
lamps struck the stoye and broke,
scattering the oil over the stove and
upon the young woman. In an IN
slant all was Il mass of flames, and
shrieking in her agony and fright the
girl ran out of the back door into
Doan's store, building adjoining.
| Mr.. Jackson saw the unhappy creature
as she fled and Immediately started
after her to render assistance, but did
not catch her until she GOT into the
store where he promptly threw large
overcoat about her and eXtinguished
| the flames. But although rendered so
promptly, assistance came too late, for
| the poor girl was so horribly burned
that all Drs. Clyne and Gowan could
do for her was to ease her agony until
death should relieve her suiferings.
Almost every part of her person except
head and feet was burned to crisp,
the skin falling off in chunks. She
fingered about twenty-four hours in
this condition when the poor pain
rent body yielded up its spirit.
Her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Alex
Curry reside about three miles north
and east of Brown City and are IN very
poor circumstances. They were i'm
mediately sent for but only her father
came and he arrived too late to see her
alive
She was buried from her parents
