machinery, as applied to farming, tends to
make farmers lazy, always looking out for
something by which to do work easier, go in
debt for it and be worse off. They havegotten
so against hard work that lime is no longer
used and farms are growing poorer, whereas
if lime was judiciously applied each year the
ground would be in much better condition, but
the farmers will say, lit is too hard work, %
and as one said some time ago, sit sticks all in
your hair"
The Fork Literary and Debating Society will
