weight even when they are suspended from the threepoint hitch at the rear of the machine tractor mounted equipment call be built for less money be cause of the absence of run ning gear to carry it it is more easily hitched and unhitched transporting such implements along highways and from field to field is much simpler and faster and in the field working into corners and around ob structions is greatly facilitated the new hitches on many makes of tractors are master pieces of ingenuity with them one implement can be unhitch ed and connections made to a- nother without the operator leaving the tractor seat many 1 not all of the new convenien ces connected with traotor mounted implements are made possible by hydraulic lifting and pressure equipment ise fixgbr tils instead of adjusting

tractor are such almost forgotten jobs as s onepicking a job for which many ontario farm folks have not had time pfor many jieans perhaps the larger hard heads were removed in a quick trip over newly seeded fields in spring but the systematic trips with team and wagon ov er hay meadows in the spring have long had to be abandoned because of lack of help today stone pickers are ma king their

in 1949 england and more particu larly the scots were responsib le for the greatest technical improvements the early plows used in england were crude and imperfect as in any coun try however the answer it could hardly have been otherwise for by the law of the ancient britons no man was allowed to hold or guide a plow until he was able to make one said the agriculturist the driver was required to make traces and these wore to be formed of withes of twisted willow this word withes is the or igin of the modern word whippletree or whiffletree as many people call it whlp- pletree is the corruption of withgn tree by the saxons and withes of willow of the britons for pulling the plow our saxon ancestors adopted the barborous practice that pre vailed in one period in ireland that of fasteining their hors es to the plow by their tails said the farm magazine this absurd and cruel cus tom became so extensive that an act of parliament forbade it in 1631 this was the same act that also forbade pulling of wool yearly ifrom living sheep in stead of clipping or shearing however the book said it was nearly 200 years before the irish stopped breaking the law its fall cleaning time
