If properly understood and used, no better Implement can be used on the larm than a good disk harrow. This information has been gained by act al e-~xperience in the field and from e x pisriebce of the best farmers. Fair sowing oats broadcast .there Is ao better way than to disk the ground, thIka siow the oats and disk the ground again. "The better the seed bed, the betiter .the crop," is an old adage an~d that is why it pays any farmer to-disk his, ground before sowing the oats. All good farmers know that if they properly prepare ~their corn ground before planting, they not oily raise a -better crop, but less, cultivation is re quired after the crop is planted. Disk the ground before plowing, is a good plan to follow with any condition of soil. Suppose the groun'd is corn, stub the disk successfully cuts the ea1Jving them on the ground as a fertilizer as well as serving the purpose of keeping the ground loose. When plowed, this loose dirt is turn ed under, and when disked again, a good seed bed as deep as the furrow is procured. Suppose the ground is a heavy blue grass or timothy sod; if disked well before plowing, it will plow' better, the sod will lie fiat and not stand up on edge causing dry spots on which the corn will not grow or be a bother in after-cultivation. A meadow of blue grass, timothy, or alfalfa that has become "sod-bound" can be pilaced in proper condition better by the use of -the disk harrow than by the use of any *other Implement. Very often the ground is dry enough to allow the top to be wor'ed one or two Inches, but is too wet to be plow ed; by disking this ground can be put In proper condition for plowing much sooner and the seed bed will also be Improved. A seed bed which has been prepared, but which has since been packed down by heavy ra~lns, can be put in better condition, with less expense and time, with the disk barrow than with any other imple ment. The question of size Is important. Whether it should be a four, five, six, seven, or an eight-foot harrow depends entirely upon the condition of the soil and the amount of horse power at the farmer's command. Whether the disk blades should be si-xteen, eighteen, or twenty Inches in diameter is another matter. Of these three, the 16-inch is th r size, for it will disk the gh~round fiv~and one-half or'six inches, which is as deep as practical, and it will cut the ground better and easier andu has less draught than the larger sizes. A disk is not a wheel running over the ground and carrying a load like a wagon; It is a plow, or a spade, cutting and turning the soil.. To better illustrate, draw three cir eles, one sixteen inches, one eighteenr, and one twenty inches in diameter; then draw a straight line across each of them,-say four inches from the edge: which one of these three circles will require the most weight to put It In the ground up to the line? Which one will have the larg"st body ot dirt to move at one revoktion? Which one will stir the ground best on acceount of speed? Then consider that on the disk -harrow there are eight, ten, twelve fourteen or sixteen of these circles Look Eat it .from another standpoint Does not the front wheel of a wagon. when loaded equally, cut depper in the ground than the hind wheel, and does it not break or cut a rail in two that the hind wheel will almost jump over without marking? The 20-inch disk harrow is some times unsatisfactory and the farmer who has made the mistake of investing In a harrow not adapted to his sail gets an entirely wrong opinion of i'ts use fulness. The' owner of a good disk harrow finds it the best Implement that can be used on the farm. EVENERS. Reply to W. Bestwick, Mervin, Sask. "Will you sehd me a description of how to make a 3-horse and also a 5 horse evener?" The illustration shows the 3-horse evener in combination with the 5 horse. The dimensions, however, from the center hole to the outside holes are given, also the length of the single trees. You will note that the ev~ener is seventy-five inches long, and the main hole is thirty Inches from one end and forty-five inches from the raucestne st.ranz won Ene c-pefating mechanism. Centrlfugal force is what causee separation in all cream separator bowls, but there are several conditions which affect the thoroughness of its work. The first separator bowls made were hollow and centrifugal force was required to act upon the milk exs masse. It was nescessary that these bowls be revolved at an excessively high rate of speed to insure suflicieni centrifugal force being developed to force the milk solids, other than but ter fat, through the thick wall of milk e the onter edge of the bowl.
