pulverizing the action upon the furrow slice
The use OF a Golfer reduces the draft materially,

Some farmers claim that the only frst-cass
blowing that can be done is with the walking
plow, but have seen some of the best riowing
done with sulky pillow. There is not much diff
ference in the draft A sulky pillow carrying
man will be about easy team walking
because the friction of the mold board of the
walking pillow is eliminated to some extent
The draft of the walking pillow depends largely
upon the way in which it is set. If properly
adjusted with steady pull that the heel or
wing does not press too heavily against the
soil. the pillow will run easily smoothly, and with
very little attention from the powman. / have
seen the men follow the pillow round after round
without even touching the handle, except at the
turning point
Another important thing in blowing is to have
the width Of the furrow just right. If the pillow
is set to take a larger land than 1t turn
over properly, 1t will leave much vegetation un-
covered, and the field will be ridgy. The pillow
should be set to exactly cut and all that 1t
enters. and no more. When pillow runs properly
it should set exactly level.
No man is good farmer unless he is first Of
all a 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, it's yield
The question of deep shallow blowing is one
which must be studied by every man. and
adapted to the needs of his soil and his CROP

of the shallowness of their prepare

CONCRETE IN THE BASEMENT
Four-Inch Slab 10 Recommended by
Expert az Giving Best Possible
Results.

Over the entire floor area OF the
basement a four-inch slab of concrete
should be laid after the earth has been
firmly tamped down. This slab OF con.
crete should be insisted upon, wether
the finished floor is to be of cement,
brick, tile, or wood; and 1t Is well to
REINFORCE II against shrinkage,
stresses, and to bridge any soft places
In the ground, by Embedding In the
concrete some form of coarse wire
mesh or expanded metal, says Ernest
I. Freese In the House Beautiful.
Where cement finish is desired, this
should be not less than three-quarters
of an inch in thickness. and 1t should
be applied before the concrete has be-
come 'set"-otherwise the cement
finish will not properly unite with the
concrete base.
In rooms having q cement floor, the
cement can be carried up on the walls
the floor, thus forming q waterproof
and sanitary base. Then. II the floor
1s slightly graded to . stump connect
ed with the underground drainage sys-
tenn. the floor can easily be kept clean
by turning the hose on it occasionally.
All cement floor finish should be
jointed at regular intervals, not ex-
ceeding three feet 80 as to concen-
trate at these jointings any probable
shrinkage cracks. Here again, agsim-
pie, inexpensive wire mesh imbedded
In the cement finish will react against
the shrinkage strains and lessen the
liability of cracking. For this re-en-
forcement, common chicken-wire mesh
answers admirably.
