JULY.] BEANS. 409 



Some of them work with many little triangular 

 shares, some with single flat ones, and others onlj 

 with coulters ; but any of them that cut up fresh 

 moulds at the bottom of the furrows, will answer 

 the purpose. A double mould-board plough (a 

 common instrument in some counties), should fol- 

 low the shim in about a week ; and, striking the fur- 

 rows, throw up all the loose earth against the ridges, 

 banking them up. There is a great use in this ope- 

 ration ; for it throws up fresh earth for the roots to 

 shoot into, which is preferable to taking it away from 

 them, after they have advanced at all in growth. 

 CARROTS. 



The carrot and parsnip crops will want a hoeing 

 this month ; which should be given while the 

 weather is dry. These operations are never neg- 

 lected, but the farmer is sure to lose a guinea for 

 every shilling he saves.

The horse-hoed crops of beans must be attended 

 to very carefully : and they are now so high, that 

 if a horse-hoeing is given this month, it must be 

 very carefully done. Whether the shim or double 

 mould -board plough be used, it must be drawn by 

 a whipple-tree as short as permits the horse to 

 work, and hung on to a springing fixture at the 

 beam -end, in this form :
