(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
For the asterism known as "The Plough"...see: Ursa Major. The plough (American spelling: plow) is a tool used in farming for turning the earth in which one is to plant new seeds. The plough is a development of the pick, and was initially pulled by oxen or humans, and later horses. Modern ploughs are, in industrialized countries, powered by tractors.
Ploughing has several beneficial effects. The major reason for ploughing is to incorporate the residue from the previous crop into the soil. Ploughing also reduces the prevalence of weeds in the fields, and makes the soil more porous, easing later planting.
The early German word before sound-shift is plug and in Old Prussian plugis. After the German sound shift (p = pf) it became the modern German word Pflug.
The early scratch-ploughs were simple forked branches and the plugis, recorded in Elbing, Warmia had to be used twice, once horizontal, then vertical. Later developed mouldboard ploughs (American spelling: moldboard) turned the soil in one run across the field, depositing the weeds and undecomposed remains of the previous crop under the soil, and raising the rain-percolated nutrients to the surface. This plough also allowed ploughing while the ground was wet. The water was drained due to channels formed under the overturned earth. It also had a coulter, which was a blade attatched to the leading edge of the plough to cut through the sod and which would cut deepset and tough roots. Since the mouldboard plough was harder to turn around than the scratch plough, its inception brought about a change in the shape of fields from mostly square fields into longer rectangular "strips".
The first commercially successful iron plough was the Rotherham plough, developed by Joseph Foljambe in Rotherham, England, in 1730. It was durable and light, and was engineered after the mathematical principles of James Small, who designed a mouldboard that would cut, lift and fully turn over the earth.
Steel ploughs were developed during the industrial revolution, and were lighter and more durable than ploughs made of iron or wood. The first of these were walking ploughs, having two handles held by the operator to provide a degree of control over the depth and location of the furrow. Riding ploughs with wheels and a seat for the operator came later, and often had more than one share.
Ploughs are assumed to be of non-Indo-European origin, as shown in early documents from the Middle-East. Stone-age petroglyphs show ploughs and oxen being used in the Alpine countries and Egyptian paintings of ploughs occur in farming scenes.
Plough Parts
Frame Frog Share or Mouldboard Landside Handles Hitch Doubletree Knife
On modern ploughs and some older ploughs, the mouldboard is separate from the shin and bottom, allowing these parts to be replaced without replacing the mouldboard. Abrasion eventually destroys all parts of a plough that contact the soil.

Lexicography | Devil's Dictionary | HEAD-:MONEY:, n. A capitation tax, or poll-tax. In ancient times there lived a king Whose tax-collectors could not wring From all his subjects gold enough To make the royal way less rough. For pleasure's highway, like the dames Whose premises adjoin it, claims Perpetual repairing. So The tax-collectors in a row Appeared before the throne to pray Their master to devise some way To swell the revenue. "So great," Said they, "are the demands of state A tithe of all that we collect Will scarcely meet them. Pray reflect: How, if one-tenth we must resign, Can we exist on t'other nine?" The monarch asked them in reply: "Has it occurred to you to try The advantage of economy?" "It has," the spokesman said: "we sold All of our gray garrotes of gold; With plated-ware we now compress The necks of those whom we assess. Plain iron forceps we employ To mitigate the miser's joy Who hoards, with greed that never tires, That which your Majesty requires." Deep lines of thought were seen to plow Their way across the royal brow. "Your state is desperate, no question; Pray favor me with a suggestion." "O King of Men," the spokesman said, "If you'll impose upon each head A tax, the augmented revenue We'll cheerfully divide with you." As flashes of the sun illume The parted storm-cloud's sullen gloom, The king smiled grimly. "I decree That it be so -- and, not to be In generosity outdone, Declare you, each and every one, Exempted from the operation Of this new law of capitation. But lest the people censure me Because they're bound and you are free, 'Twere well some clever scheme were laid By you this poll-tax to evade. I'll leave you now while you confer With my most trusted minister." The monarch from the throne-room walked And straightway in among them stalked A silent man, with brow concealed, Bare-armed -- his gleaming axe revealed! G.J. |
