A REVOLUTION IN FARMING.

substitute for the slow and tedious process OF plank
ing corn has long been desideratum; but n n0IO the
aDored efforts OF inventive genius has failed in lie pro-
ducon though years and puch money have been spent
to accomplish so great piece OF mechanism,
Some estimate ofhe importance Of invention that
Will materially facilitate the production Of this great ia
pie may be formed from the fact that in 1856 near s0o
100000 bashels raised in the United States exceed
Ing IN value all other grains, with the entire cotton crop
in addition. fff
The present universal method Of planting this great
crop as (after the ground is ploughed By marking cut
the surface Al or feet Spart each way and in the
angles thus formed drops OF kernels aud COW
with hoe at an expense Of 81 to as per acre; but
failure Of part and sometimes the whole crop results from
not obtaining sufficient force at the proper time In tho
spring to secure the planting at the most critical period

Drill planting is abandoned because Of the impossbiy

The long wished flor machine has been Invented and

most to appear the result Of instinct.
What Whitney's great invention did for cotton, this
greater invention will do for corn viz augment the guam
tity and diminish cost.

and simple mechanism.
