Flowing is still considered qui

Flowing is still considered quite
an art in the old world and was
also in this country until within
few years. The plowman who
Ecould draw a perfectly straight
furrow a hundred rods, who could
keep his pillow at an even depth and
nicely cover up all rubbish, was
man Of mark in his locality, but
the advent of the sulky pillow has
made machine work of what was
formerly a matter of human skill.
The modern plow, adjusted to cut
an even depth and width Of furrow,
drawn by three or four good horses,
is largely and well operated by
small boys from ten to fifteen years
old and quite often by girls, a mini
mum of human labor and skill
being now required to secure the
best of work.
Tenant Misunderstanding land
on shares or for cash-is not a rapid
way to pile up money, and many
men who do this business never de-
yelop into anything better than a
farm renter. Some do however.
They move slowly at first, but grad
ually accumulate valuable lot of
stock and tools and at the end of a
few years feel justified in buying a
farm of their own. We are in
clined to the opinion that when a
man can lease farm-a good one
forIfve years CD the share plan,
keeping all the live stock possible,
he will insure his success more
surely than by any other plan.
