CULTIVATION OF THE Soil BY SrEAM-From
recent experiments in England it would seem
that the practicability Of cultivating the soil
by steam has been successfully tested Tie
Royal Agricultural Society recently offered
prizes for steam plow that could be used by
practical farmers in turning up the soil The
prize OF 5000 was awarded to the steam piow
patented by Mr.. Fowler. The Council con-
ferred on Mr.. Howard, another patentee, a
medal OF honor for bis steam cultivator. 1t is
now merely question with farmers whether il
wall pay them to employ steam in tillage. The
judges reported that twenty of these steam
cultiyators have been successfully worked by
tenant farmers. The daily working expenses
of FOwlers machine they estimate at e. So.
On the light land the work done per day of ten
hours, including stOppages, was = acres, the
soil being moved by four plows, 6 inches deep
by 3 feet inches wide. On the heavy land
the work Of ten hours amounted to FIVE acres
the same burrows as before being taken. 1t
was then tried with two trenching plows, the
width being 20 inches, the burrows from IL to
IA inches deep, and the quantity of work done
was q acres. Here we see the increased cost
Of deep plowing. The estimate of the Judges
Tor the light land was Is. I'd. per acre, for the
heavy lands vs.. I'd. per acre, and for trenching
l8s sd per acre. On the light land the work
could not have been done by horse power for
less than os per acre, and on the heavy land
rs Cd per acre. The trench blowing could
not have been done by horse power at all il
must have been done by N annual labor at the
cost OF TO l3s. 4d. per acre. Thus, for ordi.
nary piOwing, steam power as at present An.
piled, saves one-fOurth of the cost, but its re eal
Value consists in enabling the land to be deer
plowed. at q moderate cost, in a way hitberts
only used for market gardening.
