DOG-POWER. 
In small dairies, a dog-power for driving the churn, has 
been found very convenient. It may also be used for 
turning grindstones. The accompanying figure repre¬ 
sents one of the best im¬ 
proved now in use. It is 
an endless platform formed 
upon two India rubber 
straps, connected by rivets 
to light cross pieces of 
wood. It is easily gradu¬ 
ated to the weight of the 
dog, by raising or lowering 
one end of the platform. 
Some prefer sheep to dogs 
for this purpose. The 
machine is sold at the ag¬ 
ricultural warehouses, for 
$12.50. 
For large dairies, a sin¬ 
gle horse-power will be 
found most efficient. Such 
a power may he used for 
other purposes. An inge¬ 
nious farmer in western 
New-York has construct¬ 
ed a two-horse-power with his own hands, without cog¬ 
wheels, but mere'y with hand-wheels, which churns, 
turns grindstone, saws wood, slits pickets for fence, and 
threshes grain;■ and it might easily he applied to driving 
a washing machine. Why should the economical fir¬ 
mer have such work done by human beings, when Ihe 
same amount of horse- 
strength can he had for a 
tenth of the cost ? Besides 
which, every farmer has an 
idle horse at some time 
during each week. 
Harrowing Wheat in 
Spring.— -Myron Adams, 
of East Bloomfield, N.Y., 
has for many years har¬ 
rowed over the whole of 
his. wheat fields every 
spring, pulverizing the 
crust and greatly benefit¬ 
ing the crop. If the ground 
is to be seeded with clover, 
ft is harrowed in at this 
time. The whole amount 
torn up by the roots has 
been found by examina¬ 
tion not to exceed the 
amount of a bushel on ten acres. The wheat looks 
rather unpromising when thus dusted over with earth, 
but the first shower washes it off and leaves it vigorous.
