Prong-Hoe, an implement of husbandry, employed for the hoeing or breaking of ground near, or among the roots of plants. It consists of two hooked points, six or seven inches in length ; and, when stricken into the ground, will stir, and turn it to the same depth as a plough; thus answering both intentions, that of opening the land, and of" cutting up weeds. — The prong-hoe is a very useful instrument, especially in the horse-hoeing husbandry, when the hoe-plough can only come within two or three inches of the rows of vegetables ; as the land may thus be raised and stirred to the very stalk of the plant.
