Team plowing is the type of plowing for the man
who knows he can prepare , his circumscribed field
within the time that he has to do the work, and wants
every foot of that field to give a good performance
record. Mules and horses form his motive power
for all field operations.

VALUE OF TWO WAY PLOW FOR TEAM PLOWING.
Our fathers used the " swivel " or
Plo^n' " side-hill plow," that they might turn

the furrows all downward smoothly,
and at the end, reverse the moldboard and plow
straight back across the field, leaving no last or
" dead furrow."

On every irrigated farm the dead fur-

The swivel plow was especially adapted
for hillside plowing, and not considered as serviceable
for level field work as the landside plow. The irriga-
tion farmer can do away with the objectionable dead
furrow through the use of the " two way " sulky
plow. Although said dead furrow be " plowed in "
as it should be, and the level or float be passed over
it several times, the filled-in dirt will sink away in the
first irrigation, and cause more or less trouble in the
water distribution.
