THE STEAM PLOUGH.

The State board of agriculture of Illinois offered pre-

steam plough is easily managed, and is described as
between locomotive and tender combining the
essential elements of both, mounted two guiding
wheels and huge roller.

full wonders of the day. and its success according to all
the accounts received complete. Such, indeed is its
power that it turns over in progress and, at the
time, many six burrows of hard prairie SOIL entan

has been hailed with the applause of thousands Of specta
