A REVOLUTION IN FARMING.
Corn Planted by Machinery.

substitute for the slow ami tedious process of uant
Ing has long been jesderatum; but until no the
lab red efforts of inventive has failed in it, pro-
ducton though years and much money have been spent
to accomplish so great piece OF mechanism
Some estimate Of the Importance Of an Invention that
will materially facilitate the pro iuction of this
pie may be formed from the TACT that in 1856 $780,
DOC 600 Bushels raised in the United States
ing in value all other grans with the eure cotton crop
10 addition.
The present universal method Of painting this great
crop as cater the grolnl is pioughd) marking
The surface AZ or feet apart each way, aad ia the
angles tn formed man drops or kernels aud
ers with hoe at expense of 81 to rs per acre; but
failure of part and sometimes the whole crop results

HFrpg the planting at the critical period.

Drill planting is abandoned because of the impossibiy
or cutvateipg but in one direction
The long wished for machine has been Invented and
perfected by young Scochman and is the result of three
years unw ared efforts, patent investigation and the ap
plish desired object
The device IS entirely new simple and beautiful work.
Ing automatically yet SO ingeniousy aad naturally al
most TO appear the result OF instinct.
What Whitney's great invention did for cotton, this
grear invention will do for corn viz; Augment the guam
iity and diminish cost
No description could convey clear idea of its peculiar
mud simple mechanism

We aware these statements looks fancifu to that
large stereUype old ogy class, who about aquqrer
Of century N the rear OF the progressive age and Whese
ideas resolve in the DID, coach train; but We
nl such anquated gentlemen that every word literal
naked unadoned truth, obvious clear and distinct the
most obuse intellect the dusst comprehension be,
Bdes being demonstrated by actual an extensive
scale.
here is a magnificent Monopoly of q great staple Ma

productive class, whose interests Gone pomott
In its acquisition but in its application millions are
to be best in the increased production Of grain and
sequsntly cheap bread.
In the distribution of this splendid prize such il really

beyond all ordinary calculations; in short the truth in this
correction seems almost fabulous.
Sole proprietOrs, willing to divide upon equit
able basis and offer the monopoly of this magnificent
speculation for States and Territories upon following
