Good Job for the Disk Harrow.
a clean. bright. sharp. well lubrica-
ted disk harrow should be used to cut
vegetation TO pieces and to pulverise
the first two or three inches Of the
surface soil and set it ready for the
plow. This implement is often used to
thoroughly prepare sandy soil for all
kinds of crops. Eighteen or twenty
inch disks given a sarge angle will
thoroughly pulverize sandy or loam,-
soil for four or five inches deep. BY
setting the disks to inthrow and By
setting the. inner ends. of the gangs
several inches higher than the outer
ends, good beds may be made for all
kinds OF crops planted on beds.
The disk harrow should always be
used right behind the pillow. especially
on clay soils. and it will cut through
the trash that has been plowed under
instead OF dragging it along and will
thoroughly pulverize the freshly plowed
soil.
An intelligent. farmer should be
ashamed to break land year after
year with one-horse piows. Satisfac-
tory work cannot be done with one
horse plows and labor is too expen-
sive One man can drive two, three
or -FOUR horses and do the work done
