NOT EX0U(iH DIP. See to the .share: if it is worn liovel- led on the underside and is of steel, get it sharpened by a blacksmith: but if it is of cast iron, grind it bevelled on the upper surface or put on a new one. Cast .shares arc made by all makers with different amounts of dip, and can be got by ordering when required with more or less dip. If the .share is in good order and dip is still wanted, raise the bridle and shift the coulter—if this be circular— farther back. This is veiy necessary if the ground is hard on the surface, as a circular coulter, more especiajly when blunt, then becomes a wheel to hold the plough up out of the ground. Circular coulter-blades should-always be ground sharp when worn blunt, but this is seldom done. In vwy hard or stony land, straight-bar coulters should hi' usi'd instead of circulars. TOO MUCH DIP. Lower the bridle and shift the coulter. If it is circular forward, put (jn a share with less dip. TOO MUCH Shift the bridle-pin to the left, set the coulter to run oft" land, a!id shorten the couplings of the land horses. NOT ENouoH L.\XD. Shift the bridle-pin to the right and set the coulter to point more to the left. If it is a circidar c'oulter and worn off land, get it ground, bevelling on the right-hand side to a sharp edge, and put in the .shank with the flat side
