A spreader is put between the tugs;it is made of a hard-wood stick sixteen to eighteen inches long;a hole is bored in each end large enough for a two-inch screw,a hole punched in each trace about twelve inches from the rearend, and the tugs are screwed to the ends of the spreader, andthe ends of the tugs attached to the plow clevis. This gives noiron or wooden surfaces at all, either on harness or whiffletree,to strike the ■California Improved Orchard and Vineyard .Sim;le-tree.

As shown inthe engraving, it is made in two parallel parts, the trace isslipped between the upper and lower halves, and there heldby a simple clasp, leaving fully one-half extending beyond theends of the wood, and preventing the single-tree coming intocontact with anything in passing, as shown in left-hand end ofthe illustration. With very young trees the edge of the tracesmight injure the tender bark, so a little supplementary traceis attached to the main trace at right angles, as shown in right-hand end of illustration, and passes between the ends of thesingle-tree, presenting the flat side of the trace to obstructions,in which
