there IS no special object to be at
 tained by deep cultivation. For the
 larger portion of the illage work dur
 ing the growing period of the crons
 the two-horse wheeled cultivator will
 stir the ground deep enough for all
 practical purposes and, at the same
 tune, It's use vii save large amount
 of work with the slowworkinp deen- cultivating tools.
 When to Cultivate Deep.
 When the ground bakes and runs
 together after excessive rains. No
 matter how deep and thorough the
 fall or winter breaking may have been
 on certain types of soil the ground
 will sometimes become so cemented and packed during the heavy rains of spring as to practically exclude the air and to offer strong resistance to the penetrative power of the delicate plant roots. Here shovel or bull tongue blow, set deep will often do a large amount of good.
 When, during the rainy period of the spring, the farm work is inter- rupted for days at time and the grass is growing like Jonahs gourd
 As every practical farmer knows, it frequently becomes impossible at such times to do effective work with harrow, or even a wheeled culti- vator, or, in fact, anything else ex- cept some such implement as a dou- ble shovel or turning blow. The problem then is to kill the grass: and the only way to kill it is to cover it up and smother it out. At such times we do not hesitate to make an emer- gency use of the double shovel or the turning blow, and we know positively that we have saved more than one crop by this sort of heroic work. And reasonably deep cultivation at this eorly stage can do no harm in any way; the plant roots have not made sufficient progress in their lateral growth to be seriously disturbed by any sort of cultivation, and the con- servation of moisture does not be- come problem till later on.
 The only requirement. here is that judgement must be used. Instead of running the blow near the plants and throwing the dirt away from them "barring off"-it should be run in the middle and the dirt thrown to- ward the plants. We do this by di- viding the middle with a turning blow and throwing each furrow slice to- ward the row at he right hand side. In this way the blow is kept from close contact with the plants, more grass is covered than would be pos sible in barring off, and both row and middle are left in the best possible condition for work in the fighting of the grass.
 When there is a tendency noticed of the plant roots to form very near the surface of the ground. This con- dition is especially liable to develop in times of rainy weather on account of the plant roots being able to ob- tain all the water and food they need without having to strike into the deeper soil: but it will usually devel- op, if permitted anywhere and any year, for there is nearly always a sufficient supply of moisture near the surface until late in the life of the growing crops. Then more moisture is needed for maturity.
 This is a condition that ought al- ways to be guarded against with watchful caution, for the formation of
