THE HANDLING OF THE LAND 95 
land is accomplished by light implements of the pattern shown 
in Fig. 88. These spike-tooth smoothing-harrows do for the 
field what the hand-rake 
does for the garden-bed. 
If it is desired to put 
a very fine finish on the 
surface of the ground by 
means of horse tools, im- 
plements like the Breed 
or Wiard weeder may be 
used. These are con- 
structed on the principle 
of a spring-tooth horse 
hay-rake, and are most 
excellent, not only for 
fitting loose land for or- 
dinary seeding, but also 
for subsequent tillage. 
In areas that cannot 
be entered with a team, 
various one-horse implements may do the work that is accom- 
plished by heavier tools in the field. The spring-tooth culti- 
vator, shown at the right in Fig. 89, may do the kind of work 
that the spring-tooth 
hatrows are expected to 
do on larger areas; and 
various adjustable spike- 
tooth cultivators, two of 
which are shown in Fig. 
89, are useful for putting 
a finish on the land. These tools are also available for the till- 
ing of the surface when crops are growing. The spring-tooth 
cultivator is a most useful tool for cultivating raspberries and 
blackberries, and other strong-rooted crops.
