TWO-HORSE IMPLEMENTS. 



One of the reasons why settlers new to fruit- 

 growing do not cultivate their land enough is that 

 they often do not keep sufficient horses to do their 

 work thoroughly. To do the work of cultivation 

 well and expeditiously, two or three horse cultiva- 

 tors or disc harrows should be used. With the 

 exception of the closing in of furrows, the one-horse 

 cultivator, "scuffler," , is of little use for orchard 

 work. Not only do two-horse implements do the 

 work in half the time that one-horse implements do, 

 but they also do by far the better work. To culti- 

 vate all the land of even a ten-acre block with a 

 one-horse cultivator is a slow and tedious task, and 

 the result is only a mere scratching of the surface 

 soil.
