THE CITY,

4 New Invention By IN Old Farmer.
We understand that oue Of cur Central ILL.,
nois farmers has constructed new machine
for cultivating corn, esaetiai1y different from
anything else in use. l. 30 arranged that il
strsddles the row and works both ides at one
time. It is operated By two horses and one
man, and cultivatss at the rate Of sfght or ten
acres per day. Tbs eultivating apparatus il
suspended bshiad two broad wheels OF drums,
attached to ffams and v which crush the slots
before the ground is worked By them. In front
Of the wheels arc knives set 50 rs to cut the
weeds of jus: at the neck. The whole Of tie
apparatus is adjustable as to the depth il may
be run in the ground from one to eight inches
BY q very simple contEiyance the driver con-
trolls tho direction OF The entire machine indie
pendent Of the toam. At the ends of tho rows
the p|ows Or cultiyators may b. thrown out, as
a!ao ia moving from field to field. In operation
they leave the ground either il !1yel or h,lled
culture Is may be desired.
The inventor Of this mschine is Mr.. J. l..
Turner 4 Jacksonville, long aud intimately
known to the aSricultura1is.s Of the Vest.
For more than ten years he has been gaius
through 4 series Of experiments each spring.
In the present machine he is kaid to hare
combined d number Of devices which he hsd
previously tested separately and found to work
we'll Mr. T. has long been noted III great
thinker and We are glad to see lie is putting his
thoughts to 4 practical development for good.
OF the machine in question much might be
said The neighbors amply testify of its good
work. That part Of 4 premium crop TILED By
twas ahead a. wheat laryes. time cf Other
parts Of tie same field managed in The b,ss
styls Of tho old process. This must iu part bc
owing to The fact th.t the machine cultiy a,es
deeply and very near to the corn, when young,
without danger Of covsriug it up. AS soon,
therefore, as tie rows could be followed the
cultiTAting commenced and tho weeds were not
allowed to get the start, aud it Wig continued
till the corn was four feet high. The whole
thing is said 10 be AZ Manageable As plow.
An attachment was applied in the Spring for
planting, which worked we'll. During this
operation, the calsivatora were removed. The
farmers will probably have chance to see this
machine a: the ensuing State Fuir at Jack.ou-
vile.
