70 AUSTRALIAN AGRICULTURE. 



marking out ground for corn or potatoes, one horse is not 

 so easy to drive in a straight line as two. But when a 

 single horse is used he goes straighter and better when 

 going slowly. A horse that is jerked and yelled at becomes 

 nervous and does not know what is required. Give a horse 

 a loose rein when he is at work. He cannot use his full 

 strength if his head is drawn up with a tight rein. 



VIL GRAIN CROPS. 



SEED PER ACRE. Calculated for average good land in 

 a fair state for the reception of seed. But prepare land and 

 sow early. A sown crop is safest. Rain stops sowing, but 

 makes crops grow. Poor land requires most seed. Thin 

 sowing gives best crops to good farming.
