with a subsOil with another team. l
will give the objections TO this mode.
1. Often when the soil is in condi
ton to turn the suhsOil is too dry
and hard to be subsoiled with an
ordinary team.
2 Often when the soil is in condt
ton TO turn the subsOil is too wet to
he SUBSIDIZED, but by this mrde you
have got to go ahead and make a
''hOrn or spoil a spoon
8 By this mode it takes two teams
to do the work and few farmers have
over ore.
4. By this mode the land is broken
broadcast and leaves II smooth sur-
face and the winter freezs won
reach AS deep as you have subsCiled.
Also the first heavy rain will u the
land together and form a crust which
will b. tough to pull in the spring,
and Il great portion of all the other
heavy rains will float off to the rivers
before it will have time to soak
through the crust into the ground,
thereby carrying eff a great amOunt
Of fertilizlng properties which is in
the rain.
dNow for the successful, practical,
cheap and easy way.
1. Use the ID inch double turner
point with the medium right and
left wings, which Will form Il right
aud left turner in me-. "A early in she
fall as practicable lay off your land
with the terrace or on a level two
feet apart which will form u terrace
and II ditch every two feet all over
she land which will hold all the win
ter rains and will get the freeze as
much deeper AS is the depth Of the
furrOw.
2 Ii the soil is too dry and hard,
walt until it rains if the subsOil is
TOO wet wait until it gets dry and in
condition.
3. lake off the ID inch point and
wings and put on the subsOller point
and wings and put n subsoil fur
row in the bottom of each of the
large burrows This will break she
ground from the surface to a depth
Of 10 TO II inches and the suhsOil will
pull almost as easy as the soil did.
This will finish the fall and winter
blowing. The large furrOw forms a
hopper to hold the winter rains, and

the fertllizing properties out of the
rains and srrves us a reservoir to
hold winter rains for summar drouths
In the spring your land is already
laid off. The subsOiler has under
mined the bed. Tue sunshine, air,
freezes and rain have sOftened and
melIOwed the bed so it will pillow
much softer than it would if it had
been broken broadcast.
As tue land is laid off 2 feet, put
the fertilizer In every other furrOw
and the rows will be 4 feet wide.
(Tne rows can be laid off wider or
narrower as desired. l mention 4
feet as it Is the general custom Of
the country TO have cotton rows 4
feet, SO the next year cOrn Can be
planted in each cotton row. Then
take tina II inch double turn point,
the left hand medium wing and the
subsOil right hand wing and list on
she fertilizers with the subsJil side
next TO the fertilizer. This wilt
form a beautiful low bed to plant on
and high suOsolled middle to work
back to the growing crops, and takes
only two burrows to the row in the
spring ~ DS E6buS 6O p1du6-
If a more thorough spring work is
desired, use the subsOiler and put
four furro ws to the row. This will
form a low bed and have the whole
business SUBSIDIZED with only four
burrows.
This spring work can be done with
any ordinary pillow, but of oOurse not
as deep and good.
BY this mode all winter turning
and ~subsOiling is done with one team.
By this mode all winter rains are
he'd on the land, and each 90 gets
its own share.
By this mode the subsoiling is done
only when the subsoil is In condi
ton.
By this mode the land can be pre-
pared 8 TO ID inches deep and have
the rows laid off in less time than it
would take TO turn it broadcast 4 to
5 inches deep.

wish to do with q pillow.
