Some of these opinions are right, and some must just as certainly be wrong. I will admit at the start that there are more than one of several ways which may be right, owing to differing con- ditions, but there are several ways which I have seen that are wrong under all conditions.

The hook was almost entirely gone, so that they did a good job of scraping, but were a failure as far as cutting was concerned.
