will be impossible to plow close up to the trunks, and either the land 

 will have to be plowed in strips only, or after the plow, may follow 

 the wide-spreading harrows. Figs. 3. 4 and 5, which will keep 

 down the weeds and keep the soil under the branches light and loose 

 if the work is done early in the spring while the land is soft. A low- 

 hanging landslide plow, similar to that shown in Fig. 6, with a long 

 point and mold board will do much better work than the swivel or 

 side-hill plow, though it may take more time to get about with it. 



Many kinds of harrows have been tried, but those found most sat- 

 isfactory are the acme or shears harrow, the wheel harrow and the 

 spring-tooth harrow, all of which are arranged with the sections 

 spread apart so that the horses will go outside the branches while 

 the harrow will reach under them several feet, leaving but little hand 

 hoeing to be done. Fig. 3, shows the acme harrow with the spring- 

 tooth attachment, so that deep working may be done by the latter 

 and shallow working bv the former. 



Fig. 4 shows the cutaway harrow with the spreader for orchard 

 work.
