MoER THAN Two-HoRsE BRAINS

One of the most gratifying sights
we see in travelling over the south
is the steadily increasing number of
farmers who are using two horse
plows, harrows and cultivators in
stead of the old one horse nipple
ments that have done so much to
keep the south poor.
In the more backward portions of
the world there are yet poverty
stricken farmers or peasants who
have no horses ana work only with
their own muscles. OF course, they
are miserable paupers, hardly able
to keep body and soul together. The
farmer who gets to the next stage
and adds the muscles of an OK to his
own does much better. Then the
farmer who has advanced one step
further and uses a horse does still
better He is the man who by
earnest effort can sorter get along
and earn a decent, passable living
in a civilized land.
But the real profit in farming
comes when the man has added the
muscle of not merely one horse but
two, three or four horses. Ae we
have so often said, the great reason
why the southern farmer is poorer
than the western farmer is because
the southern farmer runs his farm
with one-horse power while the west
ern farmer runs his with two, three
or four horse power 1t is worth
while to repeat again DR.. Sherman
A. Knapp's famous remark:
Where the South Carolina farmer
uses only one mule and one man to
plow, accomplishing less than an acre
per day from three to four inches
deep, the Iowa farmer uses at least
three horses and plows four acres
per day six to eight inches deep
