3. Hand tools. 
Illustrative material.—Catalogues of implement dealers. 
EXERCISE 1.—A Study of Tillage Implements. 
The class may spend the time profitably making a first-hand study 
of the tillage implements on a well-equipped farm or at an implement 
dealer’s. This exercise should involve the naming of parts as sug- 
gested in Exercise 23, Farmers’ Bulletin 638. 
Lesson 6.— Fertilizing Machines. 
1. The manure spreader. 
2. Machines and devices for spreading commercial fertilizers. 
3. Lime-spreading machine. 
Special reference.—Farm Methods of Applying Land Plaster in Western Oregon 
and Western Washington, Bureau of Plant Industry Circular 22. 
Exercisr 2.—Study and Use of Manure Spreader. 
Arrangements may be made with a near-by farmer so that the stu- 
dents not familiar with a*manure spreader may have an opportunity 
to operate one. 
Lesson 7.—Planting Machines. 
1. Grain drills. 
2. Hand drills and seeders. 
EXERCISE 3.—Study and Use of Grain Drill. 
Students who have not used a grain drill should be favored in this 
practice to be secured on a neighboring farm if the school does not 
own one. ‘This exercise also may involve the calibration of the grain 
drill as suggested in Exercise 29, Farmers’ Bulletin 638. 
Lesson 8.—Planting Machines—Continued. 
1. Corn planters. 
2. Potato planters. 
3. Miscellaneous planting devices. 
EXERCISE 4.—Study and Use of Corn-planting Machines. 
Each student should be given an opportunity to become familiar 
with the types of corn planters most successful in the district. See 
Farmers’ Bulletin 638, Exercise 28, Corn Planter Operation. 
Lesson 9.—Hay-making Machines. 
1. Mowers. 
2. Rakes and tedders. 
3. Loading, stacking, and storing devices. 
Lesson 10.—Grain-harvesting Machines.
