Elsciihtirfj School of AfiricuUure replies : A useful double-furrow 

 ])loug'h for braaking on clean land is one that will turn a furrow 

 8 in. by 12 in. for eacdi plough bottom. For land covered with bush, 

 and v.diere deej) ploughing is required, a si ugh- furrow is desirable 

 capable of turning a furrow 9 in, by 15 in. ^\'hen drawn by six good 

 mules, and will do from 2-2^r acres per day. 



For hillside woik, a reversible mouldboard plough, or any similar 

 tyi)e of plough, will })rove satisfactory.
