In Honor of the Plow and 
the Plowman 
(Continued from page 123) 
another great boon to the plowman, but 
that is another story. 
The development of the sulky or wheel 
plow has been made very recently. F. S. 
Davenport made one that would work in 
1864. Robert Newton, of Illinois, added 
a rolling coulter and a three-horse evener. 
Of course, a good many types have been 
developed and there are many kinds now 
on the market. The two-wheel plow is 
not used extensively at the present time 
because it does not carry the side pressure 
of the plow well and does not turn a good 
square corner. So many of the modern 
types of both walking and sulky plows are 
on the market, all of which will work very 
well, that space will not allow us to discuss 
them in detail. 
When one goes to purchase a plow there 
are several things to keep in mind, the 
first of which is, of course, the purpose for 
which it is wanted. The type of soil, 
The plowman found the furrow miles 
shorter when he could ride 
whether it is sod or stubble, the lay of the 
land, and the size of the fields, all have 
a bearing on the kind of plow which 
should be purchased. Good plows differ 
a great deal in draft, and one must always 
figure to save horses. Also, there are 
types of plows which have more adjust¬ 
ment features than others; and, inciden¬ 
tally, I might add that the average farmer 
does not study the adjustment either of 
his plow or other tools enough to make 
them fit best all the changing conditions 
of every different job. In purchasing the 
plow, it is perhaps sufficient to say that 
any experienced farmer, by studying cata¬ 
logs and his own conditions, cannot go far 
wrong in buying either a walking or sulky 
plow from any reliable dealer. Practically 
all of the makes are more or less standard¬ 
ized and will work well if handled right, 
and if used on the job for which they were 
intended. 
The modern plow, while apparently 
simple to look at, is one of the most won¬ 
derful machines from a mechanical stand¬ 
point ever invented. If you stop to think 
of the thousands of tons of the soil that 
one man and a team of horses can lift 
and turn over in one day, you will agree 
with my statement at the beginning of 
this article that from more than one 
standpoint, the plow is mightier even than 
either the pen or the sword. So well has 
it been perfected and so well will it work 
that it is hard to see how the modern 
plow can be very much improved. Yet I 
venture to say that so great is the mighty 
urge of progress that the farmers of 2024 
will use plows undoubtedly as far ahead 
of ours as the ones we now have excel 
those used by the plowmen of 1824. 
In conclusion, I can illustrate in no 
better way what our modern plow now is 
compared with those used by our grand¬ 
fathers than to repeat the following story 
published in an old volume of American 
Agriculturist in 1845, entitled: 
A Kicking Plow 
Well, boys, I want to tell you a story about 
plowing, which I heard a couple of old men 
talking over the other day, while looking at the 
beautiful implements of husbandry in the

Paint Without Oil 
Remarkable Discovery That Cuts 
Down the Cost of Paint Seventy- 
Five Per Cent 
A Free Trial Package is Mailed to 
Everyone Who Writes. 
A. L. Rice, a prominent manufacturer of Adams, 
N. Y., discovered a process of making a new kind 
of paint without the use of oil. He named it Powdr- 
paint. It comes in the form of a dry powder and all 
that is required is cold water to make a paint 
weather proof. Are proof, sanitary and durable for 
outside or inside painting. It is the cement principle 
applied to paint. It adheres to any surface, wood, 
stone or brick, spreads and looks like oil paint and 
costs about one-fourth as much. 
Write to A. L. Rice, Inc., Manufacturei's, 134 
North St., Adams, N. Y., and a trial package will be 
mailed to you, also color card and full information 
showing you how you can save a good many dollars.
