SOME PLOW POINTS.

Presented by Rural New Yorker and Re
latlng to Sulky and Common Plows.
A pillow is 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 i'll
the mOldboard), the size Of the chunk
to be split (the depth of the furrow) and
the kind and condition of soil The fric
ton ON the moldboard is equal to that
on both bottom and land side. The fric
ton 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 pillow on wheels and having all the
bottom and side pressure carried ON
creased spindles This is done in proper
ly constructed and properly managed
sully 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 pillow as
possible. 1t is true that the longer the
traces the steadier the pillow 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 a short beam
and Il long bottom, in sulky plows one
which is so arranged that both the bot
tom and side pressure is carried on
wheels
The harder the moldboard Of a pillow
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 i'll
water. If there are stones i'll the land,
the shares should be softcncd 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 sharpencd

When Il 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 tie shed in the fall When
we see man spending valuable time in
the spring securing a plow with Il brick
bat, we wonder if he IS the same fellow
who used it the previous fall

Great Value of Alfalfa.

The experiments Of Kansas and Ne
brasla farmers, as reported from the
state stations, give conclusive evidence
of the great value Of alfalfa for these
two states. The report ON its culture
in Kansas, compiled by Secretary Co
burn of the state board of agriculture,
gives the successful experience of many
farmers in that state The experiment
station in Nebraska has been collecting
information concerning this crop i'll that
state 1t is said all the reports received
speak we'll of alfalfa, which is grown in
nearly 80 counties of the state. 1t has
been most successful in the southwestern
counties.

THE BARRIERS OF NEW YORK.


In the gradual substitution Of Italian or
German barber shops the question of rent
has cut an important figure Originally
the best BARRIERS in New OrS were French
men, but they were superseded by Ger
mans, who worked mt more reasonable
rates than skilled and experienced French
BARRIERS were accustomed to exact. The
Germans held the field for some years al
most undisputed, and then the Italians en-
tered it as their rivals. The Italians offer
cd one induccmcnt to customers which Is
always strong one and especially in hard
times-cut rates. They charged 10 instead
of > cents for shaving and 10 instead of
20 cents for hair cutting, and 1t was not
long before they cut into the business of
the German BARRIERS seriously. At the
present time the business is pretty evenly
divided between Germans and Italians
with the former ia charge Of the higher
priced and the latter in control CT the
cheaper shops.
There has been one barrier to Via aG-
vance of the Italians, and that is the dues-
ton of rent A landlord charges as much
for barber shop TO be used for 10 cent
shavcs as hc does fer one to be used ttF -
