Saturday noon
So the plow was put into the bottom-land Wednesday -- and put in deep . By Friday night the whole piece was plowed and partly harrowed . Hiram had drawn lime for this bottom-land , proposing to use beside only a small amount of fertilizer . He spread this lime from his one-horse wagon , while Henry drag-harrowed behind him , and by Saturday noon the job was done . The horses had not mired at all , much to Mr. Pollock 's surprise . And the plow had bit deep . All the heavy sod of the piece was covered well , and the seed bed was fairly level -- for corn .
