New METHOD OF TMLAGs-Spade nusbandry has
been always talked about as the perfection of til.
lage but it has been rather talked about than prac.
ticsd, since the idea Of working any considerable
area Of ground by spading, was, of course, out Of
the question in country where land is cheap and
labor dear. For garden patch it was very we'll,
and quite practicable; but for field culture altogeth
or out of the question,
There have been various attempts to introduce
machinery for digging or spading by horse or other
power, bat generally with indifferent success. A.
recent invention by o. Comstock, of Milwaukee,
Wis, promises according to accounts, to lave bet
ter results. 1t is named Comstock's Spader,"' is
worked by four horses takes width of three feet,
and performs three times Is much Is atPlew; pull
yerizes the ground completely, and leaves it in .
perfect condition for planting,
The Prairie Farmer gives an account of the ope
ration of this machine, on the farm of Mr.. Sullivan
where twenty thousand acres of land are under cul
tivs.ion. Two hundred acres of land have been
worked with the spader and accurate accounts have
been kept to show the compsrtive cost of the old
and new system. According to these figures a sa-
wing in expense OF fully one half is made by its use,
leaving altogether out of the account that the soil
is worked more thoroughly and capable of produ-
ding better crop
The figures given in the statement before us, as
the expense of preparing acre of land for corn,
are SO marvellously small rs almost to stagger be.
lief among Eastern men, Wemust, of course, take
into account the nature of the SOIL the large of
the fields and the complete system farms of the
magnitude of Mr.. Suflvan's which is capable of be-
ing introduced fhe idea of fitting land for corn
with the plow and harrow 1t . cost of one dollar
and forty cents per acre, and Of working time with
the cultivator at further cost of fifty cents per
acre; thus Laying by" crop at a total expense Of
ono dollar and ninety cents per acre, is quite mex
plicable to Eastern corngrowers. These, however,
are given as the actual cost on Mr.. Sulvan's farm
Of twenty thousand acres under the old system
The spader, however, is to work revolution, since
the ground is prepared at acost of thirty four aud
. half cents, and the after cultivation fifty CENTS
making total for "laying by" of eghty;four and >
half cents per acre, saving the old plan of
one dollar and five and half cents per acre.-New
