    In olden days farmers had no ploughs like now-a-days. They used to make their ploughs at home. They got a piece of wood and pointed it. When they wanted to plough the ground they yoked a donkey to it. The point of the stick went into the ground and so broke it up.
    Long ago people used to make tobacco out of turf. First they used to dry the turf and then break it up in little pieces.
