With the Small Farmer
The Wheel Hoe on the Farm

Farmers, as q rule consider the
wheel hoe a tool belonging to the pro-
fessional gardener and as useless on
the ordinary farm as an airship. They
grow only the vegetables for their own
use, and the ordinary hoe is quite AIDE
quate for the small service required.
The tendency, however is growing to
reserve a long strip of ground for the
garden. and plant the vegetables in
rows three or more feet apart, working
them with the one horse cultivator
This is vast improvement over the
back-aching hoe. yet it has many dis
advantages. The first that occurs is
the enormous waste Of ground Land
is cheaper than muscle?" Granted. But
why waste either? For cutivating with
a horse, the rows cannot be planted
closer together than three feet Yet
radish, turnip, onion. leek parsley,
spinach, satisfy, and all of the pot
HtIDS require Only ii IOOl Oh ground
between rows. This is waste of 300
per cent, for every 100 per cent used.
The financier would throw up his
hands in dismay at any such manipula-
ton of his stocks. Is the farmer bet
ter able to stand such leaks?
Then there are beans, cabbage, cauli-
flower. and peppers which accom,no-
date themselves to two feet or q little
over. making another 100 per cent. Or
a little less of lost real estate on every
row planted. No wonder we hear the
wall that gardening does not pay.
More, the entire plot must be ferti-
lized or there is the extra labor Of fer
tilizing in the row. Two often as 4

of fertilizer that should make a garden
fertile, ignoring the fact that he is
covering the space of three gardens.
AS a result. there is lack of fertility.
and his vegetables fail to thrive. Had

cultivator throws sods so large that
some of the seedlings are crushed,
closely behind to remove the offending
clOds. The growth which required
some weeks may thus in an instant be
destroyed or seriously damaged.
1t frequently happens that a man has

the horses are perhaps tired after a
days work. or turned out to pasture.
If the dependence is upon the horse
powe-: the chance slips past Or, it
may be that there is a little spare time,
but not enough to pay for getting out
the horse. The wheel hoe is one of
the best means of utilizing spare mo-
mentS.
After d certain stage. usually about
the second or third cultivating. the
plants are too large to warrant enter
