 implements, and

 garden are grown 

 the vegetables and

 the orchard grow 

 the tree and bush 

 fruits, such as ap- 

 ples, cherries, and 

 raspberries. 



Crops. Usually 

 several kinds of 

 crops and domestic 

 animals are raised 

 upon a single farm. 

 In any particular 

 year, one field on 

 the farm may be 

 in corn, one in 

 wheat, one in clover or timothy for hay, and another in 

 grass for pasture. In the pasture the live stock run 

 free to graze upon the growing grass, and the fences 

 keep them from the other crops. 



Water supply. Every farm must have a supply of 

 water for the use of the family and the farm animals.
