The Pronged Hoe is better than the common blade hoe, for 

 more work can be done in a day with it, and better done and 

 with greater ease, than with the old blade hoe. Of course, it 

 should be used before the weeds get a start, as ib is much easier 

 and cheaper to kill weeds just as Ihey are breaking through the 

 surface of the ground, to say nothing of the feeding of the weeda 

 and the maturing of weed seeds for another crop.
