that side of the plow and enable IL
to run freely and keep level without
the plowman pushing upon the
handles. This bearing surface (B,
figure 81 should extend back IA
inches from the corner of the share.
When the wing wears off, leaving but
a small bearing surface upon the bot
tom of the furrow at that corner, as
i'm figure 4, it allows the pillow to tip
toward the furrow. In a riding plow
the bearing surface at the wing is
decreased, giving the share much
greater angle at that point. This
bearing surface is not needed to hold
the riding-plow level, because it Is
loaded on wheels and supported IN a
rigid position so it cannot tip. In
sharpening the share of a walking
pillow ii is important to see that sutfi-
cient bearing surface is given to the
wing.
The pillow, as it comes from the fac
tory, has exactly the right curve TO
the moldboard and share and If the
angle at which the furrow strikes the
face of the pillow is changed by the
hitch or by holding pillow at an UNI
usual angle, it will not do its best
work in the easiest way. So impor-
tant is the exact shape of the plow
that the manufacturers find it neces-
sary to make the moldboard and
share in three layers Ga soft center,
with a hardened layer on each side)
to prevent these surfaces from get
ting out of shape when the steel is
tempered; and hence the necessity
for keeping the suction land and
wing of the pillow in the original
shape, so that it will not be neces-
sary to tilt the share and thus change
the angle at which it strikes the fur
row.
When the pillow is sharpened a
piece of steel should be added Off the
point has worn off much) and the
point brought out 10 It's former length.
If the farmer will make a record OF
the length of the share point when
the pillow is new and measure II again
after the. blacksmith has sharpened
IL he will be able TO know land to
tell the SMITH whether the point has
been brought out to the proper
length. Those blacksmiths who thor
oughly understand sharpening a pillow
will at once recognize the importance
of these adjustments. The hammer
ing of the point should be done on
the under side and not upon the face
of the pillow. The better class OF
smiths seldom hammer the face Of
the pillow.

MOLDBOARD DIVIDES PLOW
INTO DIFFERENT CLASSES
So Important Is Shape That
Find 1t Necessary Make NIoIdboard
in Three Layers.

There are many different kinds of
plows, but they may all be divided
into three types, according to the
shape of the moldboard. One is the
sod pillow, with the long sloping mold
board, which turns the sod clear over.
The second has a moldboard of medi-
UNI slope, which turns the furrow
upon edge, but does not throw it en-
tirely over. The third type is bluff
moldboard, which turns the furrow
up and thoroughly pulverizes it.
Ground can be well plowed only
when it will pulverize thoroughly. If
it turns up in chunks and cakes the
land is not properly underdrained.
Many farmers are finding that their
tiled fields are not completely drained

Handling Silaqe.

We have used an improved silage
cutter with blower, a machine of great
capacity, with only one fault, namely,
that the knives are hard to set, but
with the great advantage that 1t cuts
one-quarter inch pieces, says a writer
in Baltimore American. These pack
best in the silo, because of their small
size, and because of close packing
they keep better than if larger They
are also better to mix with cut hay
and grain, since there is very little
waste of uneven parts, such as corn
stalk joints, in the manger.

Wood Ashes for Orchards.

The ashes from apple, pear and
peach trees contain about 20 per cent.
of lime, and the crops of fruit borne
every year also contain lime. When
orchards fail it is always profitable to
apply lime, and ii should be done at
least once in five years. Wood ashes
are preferable to lime for orchards,
but the lime is much cheaper. Lime
will also prove of benefit to grass that
may be growing in an orchard, and
it is destructive to certain grubs and
other orchard enemies. 1t is best ap-
piled by blowing the orchard land
and broadcasting the lime over the
surface. 49,.

The point of the pillow, as it comes
from the factory, turns into the land
about 3-16 of an inch, in either a
walking-plow or a riding-plow; that
is, if the straightedge is placed upon
the Landslide, one end touching the
heel of the Landslide, there will be
3-16 of an inch space between the
straightedge and the Landslide at the
connection with the share. The point
needs to be thus turned to draw the
pillow into the land and this sidewise
curve of the point is called the land
or landing Of the plow.
The wing of the share-that is, the
point farthest away from the Landslide
CIV. figure ~, should have bearing
surface in a walking pillow to hold up

They have practically completed the eating house which is a large frame building, and plans are drawn for the construction of a number of four room cottages. Each cottage will be con structed to accommodate from four to eight men, and there will be special houses built for the foreman and super intendent It is expected there will be 100 men at work within the next month.
 This company is composed mostly of eastern capitalists and is considered very wealthy. It has built roads. good ones, all the surveys are made and shafts are sunk on the mining property The ore is rich and easily mined. Full Ter reports are expected in the near future when there shall have been more work done as at present the work is merely preliminary.
 The officers of the company include, pr. F. J. De Giers, of New York. Pres; H. c. Davidson. Montgomery, Ala. Vice Pres; w. H. Johnstone, Birmingham, Ala, Sec. and Treas; and the board of directors include Garret E. Lamb, Frank w. Ellis and Russell Mccoy of Clinton, Iowa, J. D. Moore, U. s. Sena- tor Jos. H. Johnston and w.

 The company has bought up several claims close to it's own mines, and is contemplating the purchase of more. Asa Moore, a resident of Phoenix, who has long been a miner and prospector of that section, will probably give them an option on some of his numerous claims.

BOBBY" WAS so NERVOUS.
He Was Not to Be Agitated, Even by
 "Percy, Dear."

It was moving day for the summer colony along the north side of Mas sachusetts. On the morning train from Rockport, bearing many we'll known Bostonians to their town houses for the winder, rode a stormy old gentleman from the west. At Prides Crossing a family of three father. mother and daughter-board- ed the train, bearing. respectively. the family treasures: One pet poodle, one gray cat in a blue blanket, and one travelling clock in a much worn leather case. The party had no soon CT found seats across from the west erner that it became apparent that the excitment of boarding the train had caused a commotion among the pets. The cat was chided for talking aloud. Calm yourself, Bobby" said his mistress. Be yourself once more we are now on our way home" Whereupon Bobby grew calm.
 The poodle became restless in the company of his master on a seat in front. and signified his yearning for Bobbys company by climbing up the back of the seat and casting gOo-goo eyes at the Tabby. The sympathetic mistress understood at once and said: You may come over here and sit with us, Percy, dear. on one condi- tion-you must not agitate Bobby"
 This was too much for the stormy westerner With a loud snort. he reared up, paved his handbag from the rack above his head and pranced into coach ahead-Kansas City Star.

Attorney Hadlai A. Hull of New London was the speaker of the eve- ming in Union hall Wednesday night, at the third of the rallies held in Greeneville in the no-licence campaign. Considering other attractions the meeting was especially good, as over 200 voting men gathered to hear a scholarly, eloquent and convincing ad- dress on the saloon issue.
 Rev. c. H. Ricketts of the Greene vile Congregational church introduc- ed Attorney Hull who for close to an hour and a half discussed The Saloon and Its Legal Side in all of it's phases in a thorough manner The to the last while the speaker graphi- liquor problem. In answer to the question, Can the law be enforced !! he proved by his experience with mo- license in the town of Stonington. He drove it out down there, and if Nor wich goes no-license he will help to enforce the law here.
 He. discussed the saloon as it is. The majority of crimes in the superior court are committed as the result of drink. The statistics of county crime show the effect of the saloon.
 We are told if we have no-licence we will have illegal selling. If we had no-hcense, said the speaker, we would have more illegal selling in one Sunday now, than we would have in four months of no-license then.
 Rev. P. C. Wright came in during the meeting and at the request of Rev. MT. Ricketts gave brief address. Adjournment was then taken.
