LTIIOUaH tho plow Is tho first Im
plement used by man In Held
farming, real progress In Its devel
opment has come only within tho
last flftyv years. First mention of
tho plow In tho Old Testament
Is by Job whero ho says: "Tho
oxen plowing and the asses feed
ing beside them." In Job's time
tho plow was probably n crooked
55
Btlck drawn by oxen, with a straight stick
bound to their horns to which a grass ropo was
attached.
This kind of Implement was in uso for thou
sands of years afterward, and oven now In Old
Mexico, within a hundred miles of tho border
land of America, tho crooked stick Is still used.
About a hundred and fifty years ago a plow
With a wooden mold board was devised, and this
Aield sway for fifty years, when somo genius of
Tj blacksmith put an iron edgo on it, and it was
then thought that tho perfection of plow making
had been reached. Then camo tho plow with
tho iron mold board and wooden frame. This
was followed by the all-steel plow, which now
reigns supreme.
ff Tho aristocratic offspring of tho all-steel plow
Is tho disk, and this implement, in connection
With the plow itself, Is doing such good work that
it docs not seem posslblo that wo shall see any
docldcd improvement in this instrument for somo
time.
I Good plowing depends ns much upon tho kind
' of plow used as upon tho man who directs it. A
great many farmers havo yet to learn that one
plow will not do satisfactory work in all kinds
of soil and under all conditions.
Perhaps tho best plow to uso is tho, one with
tho chilled sharo and point. I think it is a mis
take to uso a plow point that has to be con
stantly renewed; for overy time a blacksmith
tinkers with It ho turns out a different kind of
plow, and this is one reason why there is so
much poor plowing done in this country. When
a man gets a plow which does tho work tn his
entire satisfaction ho should stick to it, and
hover permit its shape to bo changed, if pos
sible. With a soft point that has to bo con
stantly renowed this is not possible, and that Is
why I prefor the chilled point.
Daniel Webstor once essayed to bo a plow
maker. After years of deep thinking and experi
menting, ho turned out a most wonderful imple
ment. It was over twolvo feet long, built of
wood, with an iron point, and required four yokes
of oxen to pull it. It turned a furrow eighteen
inches wide, twelve inches deep, which resem
bled tho irrigation ditches of today. This did
hot last long, however, and was never used out
sldo of Massachusetts.
To do good work tho plow must scour well;
5HATS WITH THE
AMBITIOUS FOLK
By ORISON SWETT MARDEN.
NEVER TOO LATE FOR SELF-IM-PROVEMENT.
A New York mllllonalro a prlnco
among merchants took mo over his
palatial residence on Fifth avenue,
every room of which was a triumph
of the architect's, of tho decorator's,
and of tho upholsterer's art. I was
told that tho decorations of a slnglo
sleeping room had cost $10,000. On
tho walls wero paintings which cost
fabulous prices, and about tho rooms
were pieces of massive and costly fur
niture and draperies representing a
small fortune, and covering tho lloors
wero carpets on which It scorned al
most sacrllego to tread. Ho had ex
ponded a fortune for physical pleas
ure, comfort, luxury and display, but
thero was scarcely a book in tho
house.
It was pitiful to think of the physi
cal surfeit and mental starvation of
tho children of such a home as that.
Iio told mo that ho came to the city
a poor boy, with all his worldly pos
sessions dono up In a llttlo red ban
dana. "I am a millionaire," ho said,
"but I want to tell you that I would
V give half I have today for a decent
education."
One of the sad things about tho
neglected opportunities for self-improvement
Is that they put people of
great natural ability at a disadvan
tage among thoso who are their men
tal Inferiors.
I know a pitiable caso of a born nat
uralist whoso education waB bo ne
glected in youth that later, when lie
camo to know moro about natural his
tory than almost any man of his day,
he could not .write a grammatical sen
tence, and could never mako his ideas
llvo in wordB, perpotuato them in
books, becauso of his ignorance of
even tho rudiments of an education.
Think of the suffering of this splen
did man, who was conscious of pos
sessing colossal sclentlilo knowledge,
and yet was absolutely unable to ex
press himself grammatically! It is
difficult to conceive of a greater mis
fortune than always to bo embar
raBsed and handicapped Just becauso
of the neglect of early years.
Many a girl of good natural ability
spends her most productive years as a
cheap clerk or in a mediocre position
becauso she never thought it worth

that is, tho soil must slip from tho mold board
ovenly, leaving tho Burface bright and clean.
Poor scouring Is duo to many causes. Tho mold
board may be too soft to tako a good polish, or
It may ba imperfectly ground, or slight imper
fections may havo been left in tho surface
To test a good mold board is an easy matter.
By running tho fingers over tho surface from
the bottom to tho top ono can easily tell whether
the plow has tho right shape, and whother its
surfaco is perfect. A plow should havo a hardened
edgo and point tho harder tho bettor because
upon tho wearing qualities of tho plow depend
success or failuro to a very largo degree.
For breaking now sod, a plow with a long,
sloping sharo and mold board should bo used, but
for stubblo or well-tilled ground tho plow with
short, stoop mold board Is hotter. Tho breaking
plow turns tho sod over evenly, and covers all
growth so' that it rots and forms humus in tho
soil.
Upon tho shape of tho plow also depends tho
draft. A plow unsulted to tho soil on which It is
used will cause a much greater draft than is
necessary, wearing out tho strength of tho team
whllo to develop her mental faculties
or to take advantage of opportunities
within reach to fit herself for a su
perior position. Thousands of girls
unexpectedly thrown on their own re
sources have been held down all their
lives becauso of neglected tasks In
youth, which at tho time wero dis

It would pay to go to tho bottom of

and tho patience of tho plowman. Tho moro
abrupt tho curvaturo of the mold board tho moro
pulverizing tho action upon thu furrow slico.
Tho use of n coltor reduces tho draft materially,
particularly on tough soils, clover sod and tho llko.
Somo farmors claim that tho only flrst-class
plowing that can bo dono is with tho walking
plow, but I havo soon somo of tho best plowing
dono with a sulky plow. Thoro Is not much dif
ference In tho draft. A sulky plow carrying a
man will bo about as easy on a team as walking,
bocauso tho friction of tho mold board of tho
walking plow Is ollmlnatod to somo extent.
Tho draft of tho walking plow depends largely
upon tho way in which it Is sot. If proporly
adjusted with a steady pull so that tho heel or
wing does not press too heavily against tho
soil, tho plow will run easily, smoothly, and with
very llttlo attention from tho plowman. I havo
soen tho men follow tho plow round after round
without oven touching tho handle, excopt at tho
turning point.
Another Important thing in plowing Is to havo
tho width of the furrow Just right. It tho plow
Is sot to tako a largor land than It can turn
.over proporly, It will leave much vegetation un
covered, and tho field will bo ridgy. Tho plow
should bo sot to exactly cut and cover all that It
enters, and no moro. When a plow runs proporly
it should sot oxactly level.
No man is a good farmer unless ho Is first of
all a good plowman. Upon tho skill with which
ho plows his fields depends to a considerable
oxtont tho facility with which ho can cultlvato
his crop, and, in fact, its ylold.
Tho question of deep or shallow plowing is ono
which must bo studied by ovory man, and
adapted to tho noeds of his soil and his crop.
Deeply plowed soil contains moisturo longor,
affords bettor homo for fertilizer and all kinds of
plant food, is moro easily cultivated, and is al
ways to bo desired.

periodicals, that men and women who
are determined to improve thomsolves

Peoplo who feel their lack of educa

can mako wonderful strides in a year
