DIVIDING FARMS.
Economy In Applying; Geometrical Imvjh
In Laying Out Fields.
The- former orthodox way of dividing
farms is as follows: The end lies to the
road, with buildings closo to tho high?
way, and is divided into two nearly
equal portions by a lnnu rnnning back
to tho wood lot pnsturo and water, at
tho back of tho farm. On cither side tho
lane are nearly square holds of about 25
or U0 rods upon a side. It gives easy 0C
THK OUTIlOnoX DIVISION*.
cess to individual fields, but, according
ro au Ohio Farmer correspondent, with?
out taking any note whatever "of eco?
nomical working. The idea of applying
tho plain, self demonstrating laws ol
arithmetic and geometry to the plowing
and cultivating of fields is n recent one.
The correspondent in question gives dia?
grams aud discusses tho losses resulting
from failure to recognizo plain geomet?
rical facts in tho laying nut and cultiva?
tion of held.-:. Ho writes:
To illustrate, I give twodiogrums. In
Fig. 1, A, U, C, D represent a field CO
rods square, in which the trampled di?
agonals urn shown as well as furrows.
Tho same letters in Fig, :l show a field
twico us long and one-half as wide,
drawn to the same scalo of 82 reds to
tho inch, i drew it to this proportion
instead of 15U rods long in order to
save space, and thinking, perhaps, tho
matter might bo easier comprehended,
in this onso tho turns in plowing saved
would be but one-half, or 000, and the
proportion of trampled ground would bo
more than if tho field was one-third nar?
rower. In Fig. y tho letters 1), 0, K, F
show bow there would bo a saving in
using the disk harrow, which is gener?
ally worked in narrow lands to save tho
iiiinoyanou and cramping attending the
abrupt turning of the team as in drill?
ing. Of course 1 need not tell the intel?
ligent reader that by doubling the length
ROD5
AS KCOXOMICAL DIVISION',
of tho field one-half the turning is also
suved in harrowing, drilling, cultivat?
ing, mowing and reaping.
Nine-tenths of tho formers do not
seem to realize and practice the truths
I am trying to elucidate. If they had,
why do they cut up a piece of mowing
ground into half days' work, often cut?
ting off a ohnnk tho short way of tho
hold and sometimes making nioro than
a thousand unnecessary turns in mow?
ing a 20 acre field? And the same is
often dono in plowing.
This has been done over and over
again in several 20 aero fields that I
pass occasionally in the baying season.
Common sense would say go around tho
wholo, but if it must bo split up into
four aero jobs why not do it lengthwiso?
Tho same disregard of mathematical
principles is everywhere, to bo seen as
fences are removed and farms thrown
into one or two large fields. Instead of
taking advantage of starting at tho barn
and plowing or cultivating 100 rods and
back and losing no tiino in going to and
from barn to field, most farms which I
sen aro farmed on tho old checkerboard
principle, and cart paths aro maintained
to reach fields which might have onn
end abutting upon tho highway or at
tho barnyard.
Potators Under Glass.
The culture of potatoes under glass
may seem odd to somo of our roudors,
but it is no now thing in Huglaud,
where a kidney potato of early maturity
is used. Wo aro informed in Droer's
Manuul that duriug tho year 189ft a
Pennsylvania market gardener succeeded
in growing ordinary potatoes under glass
in timo to eompeto with tho now pota?
toes from tho south. Theso tubers from
indoors were sold for tho same prico per
half peck as ho afterward obtained per
bushel for those grown out of doors.
Tho fruit growing interest.-! of tho
Hudson river valloy are of immense im?
portance.
