Flows and Plowing We plow to raise crops yes goad crops and to do this we must di a go-id job of plowing for a foundation. To do a good job of plowing requires, first, a good plow, and second, a good plowman. The plow is the first an i mou important feature w.uch I will consider chiefly in thin article. The first feature is good material. With- out this no plow, imwever well adapted ",o do good work, will give satisfactory results.

A gener- ation ago there was hardly a mill of any kind that was not troubled with a heap of rnbbish or wast* material that it did not know what to do with. Silk man- ufacturers saw the ris* of this heap with annoyance and they took it as a favor if any one would curt it away and use it as a fertil- iser. An English inventor guessed at the possibilities in tins pile of refuse and set about inventing machinery to utilize it. And to-day as a result of his foresight and genius .'iiuiu persons are employed in mak- ing the finest seal plushes, ribbons sad vel- vets from the refuse piles of silk mills and the inventor has grown rich. The cotton seed oil industry is a better know illus- tration of economizing wast*, but the di- mensions to which the industry has grown are not so generally known. The annual product in oil, cake, lint and hulls from cotton seed, which a generation ago was al- lowed to rot, is *>J7,<XX),OUU, and it could be made greater if there was a market for the product.
