Ploughing is done mainly in the Autumn, after harvesting the crops, to turn over the soil, leaving it in furrows. This covers and suppresses weeds. Also, on heavy soils, the furrows are left for winter weather to break down the soil particles. In Spring, as soon as the soil has dried out a little, the furrows are harrowed and broken down into a file tilth suitable for planting or sowing with seed.

Contour plowing and terracing?

Contour plowing is the farming practice of plowing across a slope following its elevation contour lines. On sloped land, contour plowing is done such that rows are side by side but each row follows a path such that every point on it is at the same elevation. So, for example, to plow a round hillock you would plow concentric circles around the hill top to bottom. The resultant furrow lines look just like the contour lines on a contour map. With this plowing method the rows hold water instead of draining it downward and becoming eroded.

Why do you wear an eye patch during Bell's Palsy?

Patients with Bell's Palsy sometimes wear an eye patch or cotton gauze taped over the eyelid that is paralyzed in order to keep that eyelid closed tightly. Keeping it closed tightly over long periods of time such as at night while sleeping is important because it keeps the cornea lubricated. Patients with BP cannot close the eyelid tightly even while asleep, so moisture escapes. Gauze taped over the eyelid keeps it pressed down.
