Skillful Plowing Makes Big Crops. MOLD BOARD OF THE PLOW. The Plowman Should bs Expected Only to Cuida the Plow, Not to Push or Pull li How many men know how to harness hnme or a pair of horses? If the uni ting on of the harness and buckling of ie proper straps it a.i mat is required, most any farmer or farmer'a son can do , If it include! the attachment of the am to the load iu such a manner that the hones shall be able to pull as oxen pull in a properly made yoke, Irom the point wlp-re the least amount ol strength exerted m ill contribute most to the mov ing ol the load, there are not as many and perhaps lew adepts. There is one ruie mat is invariants, savs the .lincncon Luniraiur. a uireci ne from the point where the team can xertthe greatest power to the point here the load oilers tbe greatest reist nee should be the line of draught. Ex amine the oxen yoke to the cart, and if it is a straight line irom me point wiere the ring enter! the yoke 1 1 the forward part of the wheel, where it presses against the dirt in front of it, it will he lound that they can exert tneir greatest power. In plowing the driver should first examine the shape of the plow and ee where the resistance ol the eirth to be turned will put the heaviest pull upon the team. Tint require usually a good plowman, but there are thosewell skilled in handling the plow who would know nothing about it. They know by the movement ol the plow in the eoil how to exert their own strength, but they know but little how the strength 01 tne team is being taxed. A mathematician who never held a plow might help them in that respect, liut there are tnose wno watch the team as well as ihe plow, and know when it is exerting more strength than it should to raise and turn over a sod of a certaiu size. Much depends on the shape 01 the mold board of the p.ow. When one made nnon the principle of the true cone or spiral, the draught should be direct from the point 01 uenring aguiiiBi, viicbiiiuiui shoulder to the point where the piow offers the greatest resistance to the earth. If the plow is built upon a sharper angle or intended to turn a more shadow lur- row, the point 01 draught will be lower, and the length of the chain attached to the plow beam must be cnangeu accord ingly. The line of draught from the voke or the collar ol the horses to the end ol the plow lieam or clevis has but little to do with it, unless it may oe, as it al ways should be, in the direct line ol draught. To put it much out of that line is to oblige tne plowman 10 exert his strength upon the leverage 01 tne handles to keep the plow level. And the position oi the point of attachment to the plow must vary with the height of the animal drawing the load or the point from which be is able to exert his strength. A short horse walking in tne nirrow would draw the point of the plow down ward and make t necessary for the plow man to exert hit strength in bearing down upon the handles, while a tall horse standing upon the unplowed land would be lifting the point upward and would require a lifting of the handles to keep it level on the ground, both being attached to the clevis at the same point. The sure test of the proper harnessing of the team is to see whether the plow will run level at the depth required with out the plowman having to exert any strength upon it. 11 it win not, tne dr.ver haa an opportunity to show his skill by changing the harness or the clevis at the end of the plow beam so as to bring the line of draught where it will exert the greatest power with least ex penditure of strength. Tne plowman Bhould be expected only to guide the plow, not to push it or pull it. One of the advantages of the gang plow is that the maker can control the line of draught by the wheels instead of leaving it to be controlled by some one else, and thus he is very sure that the plows will exert their greatest lifting power with the least waste of the horse power that draws them. Fnnil fur Cowl Before Calving. If a cow is bred to farrow ber calf in the spring, the care she teceives in the preceding winter has much to do with her usefulness the ensuing season. Most cows suffer from being given too dry, in nutritious food. Straw and hay are con stipating, and this keeps the system ie verish and unhealthy. Corn stalks are more laxative and therefore better, but they must be free from smut and oiitfht to be free from mildew. The cow that is to drop a calf in the spring should not tie grain-fed, as it is too fattening. She should have either wheat bran or tine middling, according as she is laxative or the re verse. The wheat bran goes best with hav and straw. The mi ddlings with a corn-stalk ration. These will furnish plentybf material for the framework of the growing hetus. A week or ten days before the call is dropped give the covr two or three ears daily of soft corn. Old farmers who have tred this Bay that it ie excellent to insure easy parturition and freedom Irom caked bug and milk fever afterward. It is possibly hi cause the soft corn in the ear relieves constipati"n caused by dry feeding all winter, but the plan is easily tried and cannot do barm if it does no g.xid. If the cow is a deep milker, do not let her get fat before calv ing. That is the cause of enormous losses and always of the be6t animals. After danger of parturition is past a gen erous eed will soon tring the cow np to the greatest milk production of which she is capable. The Quality of Kcg-a. There is difference in eggs apart from their size to make some more valuable than others. Much depends upon the food the hen gets, from which the egg n to be made. Many people think it mskes no difference what hens eat ; that if the? I ke it and it contains the elements 01 the egg it will be all right. Yet their own experience tells them that eggs pro duced from grain-fed hens in winter and early spring are ol better quality mu they are later, even when they are fresh. CONSTIPATION. IXDIGESTIOXt
