To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
With an eight-feet broadcaster 10 to 12 acres are sown and about 14 harrowed over once. Unlike some other managers, Mr. Barden dis- approves thrashing out his crops from the shocks in the field. It entails, he considers, a great deal of labour when the cost is at its highest ; it increases the risk of injury from bad weather ; it retards for ten days the men and horses getting at the ploughing of the stubbles ; while it diminishes the value of the fodder for the stock. For thrashing wheat he pa...ys four to five cents per bushel, the machinist finding three men, water, and fuel ; the eight-horse engine and thrasher are capable of doing up 600 or 800 bushels a day. The average price of wheat delivered to the siding on the farm in 1878 was 70 to 75 cents; in 1879 and 1880 it has been fully ten cents higher, but the higher price has not paid for the diminished yield. At present Mr. Barden employs twenty farm horses, several boys, but only ten men, who receive 300 Prairie Farming in Minnesota.
