If the furrow turns up “rhlTty” or Fhews any tendency to bake Into clods It should Ite harrowed every half day. or every day at least. This seems like a grent deal of extra work, but If a harrow is kept lu the field It docs not take long to hltcjj on to It and go over tho.-.iliHrlj—PIoxeoB atrip Just before quitting for nffen or night. A few mluutes spent In harrowing at such smooth much of the moisture that conies up will tie lost by evaporation, and later hi the season the crop will lie likely to suffer from drought. To avoid thi.*' the roller should bo follow ed Immediately by the barrow. T his loosens a th’n layer ( f surface soil. When the capillary water reach es this loose layer its rise is checked, and comparatively little Is lost by evap oration. For this same reason tt is ofien v.e!l to harrow fall plowing as soon r.s it tc dry enough In the spring, espevially if disking is put to be dene until late. After the ground U plows! and disk ed the harrow must be used to com plete tho preparation for planting. There are many kinds of harrows, but none that are better than the ordinary spike tooth. These tiro made ia all styles aud sizes. Tho harrow, is eco-/ nnmieal to use, since It geta ever ground so rapidly.

To kill weeds, however, It Is better to wait nntil the soil Is a little drtef. as b*tr- rowlng a wet fio^d will fraBspIant the weeds ratlter tlian deetroy them. Do net be afraid to harrow too nmeb.
