The first signs of life to be aeen aa the visitor approached were two flocks of aheep about 1.200 In all—feeding on beet tops under the care of two shep herds with their dogs. Beyond the aheep and a bit nearer the buildings were the men loading beets into enor mous two wheeled carta, each being drawn by three Percberon stallions driven tandem. Beyond the harvesters were three sets of two furrow plows working, each drawn by sis white oxen. The plows, which were of the two farrow reversible type, were built with a pair of wheels In front to tighten the draft and with fonr plows keyed la pairs to two parallel steel beams, which were the axle of tha wheels by a ball and socket Joint Each pair of plows Was placed one over the other so that when one was In tbe furrow the mate was upside down In the air directly over It At the end of the farrow the plowman by means of a lever turned each beam half round, throwing tbe plow with mold board on the right hand side InU the air and bringing the left band moldbosrd Into the farrow. Tbe plow men were followed by three teem of oxeo that harrowed the field, and these were followed by two grain drills.
