CULT1vATING Com BY MACHINERY - We
saw recently, says the New York EUeniag
Post, Il cornfeld of one hundred and sixty
acres on the Grand Prairie, in the blowing,
planting, and cultivating Of which no ~ ian
walked step. A rotary spader, drawn by
four horses, and driven by d man seated
Oh the box, plowed the field to the uniform
depth Of eight inches, and gave such y
thorough filth that it was not necessary to
uso the harrow at all. A corn planter,
drawn by two horses, and driven by man
upon the box, next planted the seed A
cultivator drawn by two mules, one walk
ing on each side Of the rows Of knee high
corn, and driven by man upon the box,
completed the culture Of row at single
operation, aud in the tool house lay an
ojher machine, also to be drawn by horses,
which will cut down the corn when it il
ripe, and lay it in regular rows, TO be
finally gathered by hand. But it is ex-
pected that by next year this machine
win be 20 improved as to gather up the
corn also.n
