4 REVOLUTION IN FARMING.
Com Planted by Machinery,

to accomplish so gsea. piece Of mechanism,
Some estimate Of he importance Of Invention that

plough and horse hoe the growing crop, both ways be-

planting is abandoned because of the impossbliy
of cultlyatesg but in one direction.
The long wished Tor schne has been invented and
perfected by young Scochman, and t result Of three
