No steam-plough tears through his land, no scarifier assails it, no patent driller supplants the sower who still moves his scattering hand in rhythm with each measured step he takes through the harrowed fie...ld. No patent, improved steam- threshers have yet broken up the rural harvest ** bee." The plough is still fashioned from a crooked bough, with a coulter and share that the village blacksmith can beat out in an hour s #Drk ; and the simple rustic harrow is still weighted with a lump of stone which, for aught the peasant knows, may contain the imprisoned spirit of an enchanted Moor.
