To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
With the animal fur draft, the plow came into general use ; but we all know that the work which the plow performs is always imperfect and incom- plete ; that its operation is only the beginning — the incipient step in the process of good cultiva- tion, and that it requires to be followed by various other implements to complete the work it has begun. The plow, moreover, is objectionable in another respect — an objection which lies deeper and is very liable to be overlooked, indeed, too much so b...y the generality of farmers. I allude 16 to the unavoidable pressure which it exerts upon the subsoil. The wedge like form and action of the share in being driven through the soil, though splitting oft" and raising a portion of it to be turned over, produces a corresponding downward pressure, and leaves a smooth and glazed surface beneath the sole, and to this add the trampling in the furrow, and we have a compact and solid substratum underlaying the whole plowed sur- face, almost impenetrable to the roots of plants, and unfavorable to their full development.
