Prices vary according to the size, from $5 00 to $15 00. Fig. 13 is the Geddes Folding Harrow, which upon the whole we esteem the best. Some of the larger sizes are so con- structed that the front and rear parts can be detached, forming two single har- rows, which can be used separately when desired. The cuts show their con- struction so well that they render a particular descrip- tion unnecessary. The fol- lowing rules should be ob- served in making harrows. 1. Let the frames be joined together in the cen- tre with hinges, so that the two halves may be able to move up and down in- depent of each other. This enables the harrow to pass over quite uneven ground, and touch it all with its teeth; but if the harrow were made of pieces put together without hinges, it °' ' could not do it, and thus, in passing over uneven surfaces, one half of the land would scarcely be touched. 2.
