FAwKEs' STEAM PLow.-Our cores
pondcnt "Rural," who gave our readers
an account of the performance OF
Fawkes' Steam Plow, does not confess
his disappointment at the result of the
late Urbana trial but most of our read
ers who looked over his letter will be
sure that Mr.. Fawkes must do some
thing more and better than he has yet
accomplished, to secure the general
adoption of his invention. 1t appears in
the trial of which we speak, that his
plows were run onl ten minutes consec-
utively, in sixteen times trying and that
the average time was much less. 1t is
true that 20 acres were plowed in 80
minutes running time; but it is also
true that all the hours between 8 O'Clock
in the morning and in the evening were
used up in the cndeavor. This is q re-
suit " no means fattering, unless the
mere demonstration that plows can be
driven by steam power without regard
to economy Of time or money, is the
cause of cungratulation. We hope to
hear that the inventor will prove that
his machine is capable of ether and more
valuable service but we confess that
his machine grows more and more prob
lemal cal. We need not say that the
trial, upon which he is now engaged, is
made not Tor the purpose of provoking
the shouts of the lookers-on at an Agri.
cultural Fair, but to prove the real use
