THE EQUIPMENT 



six horses then some of the tools may require 

 three horses each, while others require a 

 pair. 



A farm with six work horses is rather a 

 desirable one from several aspects. Among 

 other things, it enables the farm owner to 

 employ two men who can perform most of 

 the team work with two three-horse teams, 

 while at other times three pairs of horses 

 may be arranged when the owner needs to 

 use a team. This leaves the farmer time to 

 attend to many activities not requiring 

 horses, and time to plan the work and to 

 look with more care after the purchases and 

 sales. The size of such a farm will depend 

 entirely on the nature of the activities. If it 

 is a so-called general farm with a minimum 

 ol live stock, it would, perhaps, consist of 

 from 150 to 1 80 acres of tillable land with 

 some additional pasture and woodland. 

 Ideally, every farm should have sufficient 

 activity to make it something of a center. It 

 should be an organism. It is difficult to 

 organize one man. 



It will be useful, when we come to discuss
