THE SOUTHERN CULTIVATOR 
the work can be done with one-tenih ot the la- 
bor subsequenllv required, needs no reasoning 
to show its policy. The advantage oi keeping 
the soil entirely free from the seeds of weeds, so 
that the necessary stirring of the surface may be 
entirely performed by the plow and cultivator, 
instead of by hand, is equally obvious. — Alba- 
ny Cullivalor.
