The “Buco” Cultivator.
Mr. George Hart, of Pukekohe, writes for information about the " Buco ” cultivator, which he has been unable to procure.
The cultivator is evidently not stocked in Auckland. The nearest tool to it is
the “ drag,” which is stocked in 4-prong size, and occasionally B-pirong. These drags are rather heavy, and the prongs too long, but they can of course be shortened by a blacksmith. We think our correspondent could get one made by a handy blacksmith to suit his purpose. We append a drawing of what it should be like. The prongs (5) may be either round or flat. They make good work, but many gardeners won’t have them, asserting that they are either too heavy or badly set. J* .Jt
