Gang PlOWs.

Why do not our farmers use
gang plows for breaking up lands
and cultiyators for cultivating on
our level bottoms especially
should the gang pillow be used.
Perhaps it looks more like play
than work, but q days job Of this
play will break up thoroughly and
turn over five acres OF land eight
inches deep, with one man and
four horses; that is to say, you do
double the work of two men and
four horses with one. This is a
good way to settle the labor ques'
ton, and settle it fully.
