Long-standing spinach and German

September.
Small quantities of radish and let.
tuce should be sown with the other
vegetables, because they are only in an

Kale and spinach will furnish greene

adjustment, three teeth are left in the
middle and two teeth run on each side
of both rows, covering one-half of the
two nearest middles and allowing the
horse to walk in the middle.
If it is desired to use two light
horses instead of one heavy one, it IS
necessary only to remove tooth No. l
and straddle the row, leaving the teeth
No. 3 in original position. The dis
lance between the teeth is about 5A
inches. For 24-inch rows, holes
should be drilled so that the teeth will

The cultiyator is easier to control
when in A-shape as shown in Diagram
III, using the same shift in the posi-
ton OF the teeth No 3. This requires
additional lengthening of the bars and
the holes must be wider apart. This
leaves the points of the teeth in the
same position with reference to their
distance from the rows, but gives
more space between them and allows
trash to slip through. For this same
purpose tooth No. l is heightened, in
order to throw it three or four inches
behind teeth No 2. This will leave
the furrow in the center of the middle
instead of near. the rows.
