In laying out field for grain planting
or a lot for the orchard or Kitchen garden
1t is well to take into consideration the
great advantage of long burrows where
the work of blowing and cultivating may
he done with as few turns at the end of
the burrows as possible. If the farmers
garden was planted in long rows IL would
be much better kept and the work of
keeping IL would be mosc of a pleasure
than it now is, MS IL could be cultivated
with horse power. and great deal of
manual labor saved.
While. cutting furrow nine inches
wide the plowman walks Just about
eleven miles while he Is turning over an
acre--that Is, without reckoning the Jour
ney from the stable 10 the field and back
again. II is one of the advantages of
long fields that the time occupied IN turn
ing at the end Is so much less than ON
shorter stretches and smaller fields. In
blowing an acre 352 yards long, cutting
nine-inch furrow the uian goes twenty
seven and one-half times round, and turns
on the headlnnd iifty-fiNe times. If we
allow one minute for turning. the time
thus occupied " equal TO Gfty-hve min
utes, or say an hours work--the hardest
Of the day, too. This would be in a pad-
dock or field of average length, being six
teen chains long. When field Is eight
chains, 179 yards long the number of
hard work and time absorbed is one honr
and fifty minutes. In field five and
three-quarter chains long QT7 yardsJ-
not unusual length--the plowman turns
105 times in order to cut through nm ncre
with nine-nch furrow: and allowing a
minute for each turning, TWO and three
quarter hours arc occupied in that OPP
GRAFTON.
The plow pace. to do good. steady work.
varies from one and one-half TO two miles
per hour. Applying these figures to the
eleven miles walked in blowing nm acre,
at the rate of one and onc-half miles per
hour, takes seven and one-eighth hours
With ten-inch furrow, there is one mile
less of walking which may be computed
as half an hour to three-quarters, accord
ing to the estimate of travelling pace.
With fen-inch furrow on light land,
where the burrows are $50 yard long
from six to seven hours are occupied per
acre, Mt the ordinary pace Of two miles
per hour. Thus, In short fields Il great
amount Of extra work becomes necessary,
and time is lost in turning. SO an acre
may require eight or nine hours. Plows
cutting double furrow, or three, or four.
or more furrow at the same time, may be
estimated on the same lines.

The game Of ball Roanoke put IN
yesterday afternoon was in marked con.
srass to the work they have been doing
lately They played fast, snappy ball
from start to finish and also did some
timely hitting. making their seven hits
count to the greatest advantage.
Another noticeable improvement. was
their team work. More sacrifice hits
wore made yesterday than have been
made during the whole season and thew
proved to be great factors in the run
getting. Farrell led in this respect and
showed the wisdom of the management

was very effective. He had excellent
control OF the ball and displayed great
mead work, especially In the seventh in.
ming when he was touched up for a
aouole and four singles. The bes. Nor
folk could do out Of this combination of
nits was two runs. Wynne also pitched
euective ball, but coanterac ted his good
work by wildness, being directly re-
sponsible for three of Roauoke's runs.
Inc features of'the game were the
all-round work OF the home team and the
playing OF O'Hagan and Mccain for the
visitors. These two men robbed Roam.
oke OF several apparently safe hits-and
. Hagan found McCann for a single and
home run.
