If the grass gets too high, the sod does not rot so well. 436. " A word as to mode. Breaking prairie was formerly almost exclusively done with ox teams, from 3 to 6 yok^js to a plow, the plow cutting from 18 to 28 inches. Tiiis mide it necessary to employ regular * breakers,' as not every one could afford to keep such a team; but now, smooth prairie is frequently broken with two or thrco good horses — if three, worked abreast. THE YOUNG FARMER's MANUAL. 221 A plow of 10 to 12 inches cut, and of... sharp wetlTre-like form, is used, and some prefer this kind of breaking. I have done con- siderable in this way, and with two medium horses can break from 1 to 3 acres per day. A poor man can thus make a farm with little expense beyond his own labor." 437. Mr. John W. Barrett, Pierce Co., Wisconsin, writes: ''The best time, or 1 might say the only time to break up prairie land, is from the 1st day of June to the 20th of July. The reason is, that broken before June, the grass does not get a good start, and it will turn and grow through the breaking.
