The New York Eoesltng Post, remark
ing on the great improvement recently
made Ia farming implements and ma
chinery, gives some observations made
in the west by way Of illustration. A
corn field containing one hundred and
sixty acres wss plowed, planted aud cul-
tiyated without subjecting the farmer to
| the trouble Of going on foot at all. The
ground was prepared by the use Of a
rotary spader, on which the operator
rode was planted by a two-h0rse ma
chine, the driver seated upon box I;
when hOeing time came, a eultivator
/ performed the operation without fnvolV-
/ ing the necessity of pedestrian exercise.
| When the corn Is ripe Il is cut and laid
/ in rows by q twO-horse maehine-thus
completing the cycle Of machine corn
raising. On the farm Of which this corn
I field formed part, there was field of
timothy comprising seven hundred
acres. 1t is the improved farm ma
chinery which has rendered such extern
siye farming operations possible and
profitable at the same time.
