When your mother comes and begins to
express her surprise, go right up to her
and kiss her on the mouth. You can't [
imagine how it will brighten her dear
face. Besides, you owe her kiss OF
two. A long while ago, when you were
a little girl. she kissed you. You wer,
not rs attractive then as you are now.
Through years of childish sunshine anc
shadows she was always ready to cure,
by the magic of mothers kiss, the
little, dirty, chubby hands whenever
they were injured with those first skir-
mishes with the rough old world. - Nc

Disc and Mold-Board
PlOwS-Whlch

| "
Shall buy disc or mold board plow?
Is question frequently asked by the
farmer. The condition under which the
plow il expected to operate must help
| TO answer ii.
All farmers are acquainted with the
mold-board plow and know how to OPP
rate 1t to the best advantage. The
iisc plow. or the otser hand. 10 new-
.r invention and has not been used 80
extensively. II is harder 10 operate
successfully and. for that reason, has
not given the general satisfaction which
should be obtained. The use for the
disc plow. however. is gradually grow
ing. and in few years II will have al
most as large n place, especially in the
western states. Ms the mold board plow.
Under similar conditions, the disc
plow is Of lighter draft. but this differ
cnce is not 80 much AS is often claimed
by the manufacturers. Rolling friction
makes II pull somewhat easier than
sliding friction. Because OF the rolling
motion Of the disc and its cutting effect
I is not 30 likely to clog us the mold
board plow. What the disc cannot cut
il will roll over.
The disc is capable Of plowing ground
that has become too dry and hard for
the mold-board plow. This is often
times Of much value. as II is not neces-
'ary to wait for rain. and the seed can
be planted at the proper time.
For humid sections and irrigated lands
the mold-board plow must be consider
d superior. Under favorable condi-
ions for plowing where the soil is not
90 dry. the mold-board plow pulyerizes
md turns the soil more satisfactorily.
II also handles sod TO better advantage.
To do the same amount OF work, the
iisc plow will require very little sharp.
cning compared To the mold-board plow.
This makes the running expense Of
lisc very much less than that Of mold
board.
The diameter Of the disc shoull not
bc too large. A A-inch disc for gener-
Al use is to be preferred TO one Of lsrg-
or diameter. The 2i-ineh disc will pull
scrize the soil more than II ~ or 30-inch
one. The draft Is trine more on the
smaller one. but the difference Is more
than made up by the class Of work !, Is
