Fic. 447. SPROUGHTON HOE, 
HOES AND HOEING. The Hoe illustrated at 
Fig. 447 is a really improved Dutch Hoe, as it is worked 
in the same way with the advantage that, having a 
double edge, it may be effectively moved either back- 
wards or forwards. When the person using the Hoe is 
standing up, the flat of the blade lies on the surface of 
the ground, and is easily moved backwards or forwards 
without bending the back. Another advantage is that 
the Hoe is self-cleaning, i.e., does not clog with soil if it 
is damp, and works itself bright quickly, doing its work 
expeditionsly and well. If it is desired to remove any 
large or noxious weed by the roots, the pointed end is 
very handy for that purpose.
