How We DID IT. Some twelve years
since my father bought farm which was
"workcd to death,n as the neishbors said.
Well wo soon found out how il had been
worked. when we pu, heavy team ind

exceeded their own, they were full Of sur
Musings as to the wonderful strangers so sue
cessfal in renewing the till-killcd soil.
"wbat manure did you put on that
field" neighbor asked Of my father one
morning, as they were looking as the deep
green, waving corn growing so rankly there
in.
"Plorsd deep, Plotrcd DEEP" answered
he there's nothing like plowins deep,
and thoroughly pulverizing the soil, to bring
good crops in NIL kinds Of weather.
That field had been used as a meadow
soue fifteen years, producing from one
fourth to one hall ton Of hay to tho acre.
We broke il up deep, planted ono year,
sowed to oats the next with clover and tim
othy, and the third year, cut two tons Of
fine hay TO the acre.
Another field had been used for oats the
same length Of time. We plOwed deep, but
had poor oats, as so much deep. new soil
was turned up, never having been exposed
to tho weather, hard and almost inpen-
e,rable crust having been formed at the
depth Of three or four inches, where the
plow had scrapcd for years. As soon as
possible wc grassed il, and had excellent
meadows, where others thought nothing
but a bad weed, called devil su', could grow.
