be best to purchase Geddes' folding A harrow (Fig. 94), or the 

 double square Scotch harrow, shown in Fig. 95, for stifFer soil. 

 This may be taken apart, and only one side used. 



Fig. 95. — Double square Scotch harrow. 



In using the pointed-tooth harrow, where it is desirable to cut up 

 the soil very thoroughly, at a considerable outlay of power on the 

 part of the team, I find it a good practice to stand with the feet 

 wide apart on the harrow, throwing the weight first on one side and 

 then on the other. This gives a swaying movement to the im- 

 plement, which tears up the soil very thoroughly. 



Shares' harrow (Fig. 96) is a great improvement over the 

 common harrow for general use. I have used it for two years 

 with excellent effect, and confidently recommend it — especially for 

 harrowing sod-furrows. It is thus described by the manufac- 

 turers : — 



" The advantages of this harrow lie principally in the con- 

 *' struction of the teeth or colters, which are broad, thin blades 

 " of cast iron, inclining forward so as to prevent their clogging 

 ''with roots, grass, stones, etc., as well as to cut the sods and 

 " force an easy entrance into any kind of soil. The mould- 

 " board is attached to, and forms the lower or back end of the 

 "■ colter, the lower edge of which is continued a short distance 

 " below the covering portion of the tooth, and forms the point.
