Teeth which are not fastened into the arms of the harrow with nuts and screws through a tapering mortice, are continually get- ting loose, more especially in rough or stony ground; and when loose they present an unequal surface, and not only do the work imperfectly and unevenly, but make the har- row harder to draw, and there- fore more tiresome for the team, especially when the forward teeth slip up, as they are most likely to do, and the hind ones keep fast. The teeth are also liable to drop out (if not screwed in) when the harrow is turned over dou- ble to be carried in or out, or from field to field. The loss of a single tooth is sometimes a serious injury to a day's work. The Geddes harrow is superior to the square harrow, as it draws easier, moves steadier, and without shaking of the whiffle-trees. It is also more readily cleaned of foul stuff, and can be more easily weighted when ne- cessary. Sufficient attention is not paid to harrowing. It is the next most im- portant operation after plowing. The harrow should run from four to six inches deep, cutting up all the lumps, and leave the ground in a finely pulverized state. The price of these harrows varies from $5 to $14. They have from four- teen to thirty teeth. FIELD AND GARDEN ROLLERS. (Fig. 14.) Rollers are of various kinds; of wood, stone, and iron.
