Directions cannot aid much must do his o\vn luad work,and use his men to the best advantage. The spacing, twelve by nine inches,may seem to some too little. I havealways found it ample for the largestplants and for some varieties more thansufficient. One acie of ground thusplanted will hold from toforty-five thousand iilnnts, dependingsomewhat on the length of tlie beds. Inhorse cultivation only one half to one-third that nundier can be grown on thesame extent of ground. Tlie work witlithe horse will not be so well done, andthe expense for plants will begreater.

The plot ofhalf tlie size can be worked much morecheaply hand than the whole horse power and worked better. Theplants will grow equally as good, andthey take less work with the hoe. In-deed, if planted as I shall presently de-scribe, they should take no hoeing at all,the work being done by thewheeled hand cultivator. Inhere aremany kinds of these tools on themarket,not equally good perhaps, but they areall labor-savers and will do the workthat would otherwise take several mento do in the same time with hand hoes,and do it far better.
