and the patience OF the plowman. The more
abrupt the curvature OF the mold board the more
pulverizing the action upon the furrow slice
The use OF a Golfer reduces the draft materially

Some farmers claim that the only hrst-cass
plowing that can be done is with the walking
plow, but have some of the best plowing
done with sulky plow. There is not much diff
ference in the draft. suky plow carrying
man will be about easy a team as walking
because the friction of the mold board OF the
walking plow is eliminated 10 some extent
The draft of the walking plow depends largely
upon the way in which il is set. If properly
adjusted with a steady pull so that the heel or
wing does not press too heavily against the
soil, the plow will run easily, smoothly, and with
very little attention from the plowman. | have
seen the men follow the plow round after round
without even touching the handle except at the
turning point.
Another important thing in plowing is 10 have
the width of the furrow just right. III the pow
is set TO take larger land than II can turn
over properly, II will leave much vegetation un.
covered. and the field will be ridgy. The pow
should be set to exactly cut and oil that II
enters. and no more. When plow runs properly
II should set exactly level.
No man is good farmer unless he is first OF
all good plowman. Upon the skill with which
he plows his fields depends to considerable
extent the facility with which he can cultivate
his CROP and. in fact. its yield.
The question of deep or shallow blowing is one
which must be studied by every man, and
adapted to the needs OF his soil and his crop.
Deeply plowed soil contains moisture longer,
affords better home for fertilizer and all kinds OF
plant food. Is more easily cultivated, and is al.
ways to be desired.

that is, the soil must slip from the mold board
evenly, leaving the surface bright and clean.
Poor securing is due TO many causes. The mold
board may be too soft TO take good polish, or
it may be imperfectly ground or slight imper-
fections may have been left in the surface.
To test good mold board is an easy matter.
BY running the fingers over the surface from
the bottom to the top one can easily tell whether
the plow has the right shape, and whether its
surface is perfect. pow should have hardened
edge and point-the harder the better-because
upon the wearing qualities of the plow depend
success or failure to a very large degree.
For breaking sod, plow with a long.
sloping share and mold board should be used, but
for stubble or well-tiled ground the plow with
short, steep mold board is better. The breaking
plow turns the sod over evenly, and covers all
growth so that it rots and forms humus In the
soil
Upon the shape OF the plow also depends the
draft. plow unsuited to the soil on which It Is
used will cause a much greater draft than is
necessary, wearing out the strength of the team
