writes n u. Becker of Wisconsin, in
the Orange Judd Farmer. The total
cost was only eight dollars, including
a heavy four-foot chain for use in
htching to the plow when 1t is deep
down in the ditch
first used it in 1894. | had heard
that out in Minnesota men were
charging 25 cents per rod to con
struct drainage dltches with the
steam ditching machine. was able
to build bitches more cheaply by the
means of this simple, homemade con
trivance On one piece of work, by
using this plow and two horses, four
men made ditch 1850 feet long
from 2h to 31a feet deep and one foot
wide, in one day from eight o'clock in
the morning to six o'clock in the after
noon. This was in clay soil, which at
the time happened to be dry and wa
shoveled easily. If the ground had
been wet, of course, so much could
not have been accomplished.
In building ditches for tile, first
pillow 1t as deeply as possible, usually
going over it twice with an ordinary
plow. All the dirt that is not thrown
out by the plow Is then shoveled out
Next go up and down the ditch with
the pick-plow. Ours is made to cut
IL inches wide. and by having 1t Sc
strongly constructed that there is not
much spring in II a uniform width
and straight sides can be maintained
In the ditch. After the ground is
loosened we shovel out the loose dirt
and then go over 1t again with the
pick-plow. We use an evener eigh
feet long, so that the horses work fal
enough away from the ditch that there
is no danger OF their falling in. Al
additional depth is secured the hitcf
Ia heightened, and the plow can b'
used in digging dtches three to fou
feet or more deep. Where we have
to cross an elevation in the field
which requires greater depth, we q
over that spot two or three times witt
the plow, bringing the bottom of tn
; ditch down to the required leve
= Broadly speaking the depth to whicI
this can be used Is limited only by tn
length Of the chain to which the ever
: er is fastened.
