Corn TZusl1ing Machine.

Various attempts have been made
of late years, TO accomplish by ma
chinery the hard and tedious labor of
husking corn, none Of which have,
however, resulted in any great sue
cess. aaao s t <, s'a go 81
A machine has recently been in
vented which seems fully to answer
all the purposes desired. = a ea4 I.
These hnsking machines, are made
Of diff. sizes, for hand power.
That for power, with two horses, is
capable Of huskiag 40 to so bushels
per hour. s. .s s. q
The stalks, after passing through
the machine arc considerably crushed
making them more convenient and
palatable for fodder; While the inner
husks are lelt entirely. separate and
in such shape That tlloy are ready
for baling. This is quise an import
ant feature IN the machine, as this
product is always In demand for
mattresses and other upholstery, and
latterIy there is an active demand fol
it from paper-makers; as Inequality
of paper i6ade from husks is said tc
be fully eqaal 70 that from rags. We

Small Farms Most Profitable

q Z
Small Earms Most Profitable
Small farms always do return the
largest profit. There are thousands
of farmers all over the United States,
who wo Id make more, clean money
to dispose Of one-half their land, and
work the remainder thoroughly, than
they now malzeaby going over such a
large breadth. Still large farms can
be cultivated with more net profit to
the proprietor than small ones, by
proper management. Yet, according
10 the present systemsof management
small farms do return The most pro-
fit. The reason for this is, that a
farmer with7only asmall number of
acres is apt to till better, manure
more beautifully, and perform every
operation more thoroughly than ifshe
were required to work double the
number acres. IF farmer, for ex-
ample, work twenty acres, he must
necessarily keep a good team, and as
complete an assortment of tools and
farm implements as if he were culti-
vatlng fifty acres. a good team viii
usually perform all The labor on Al
farm Of fifty acres, and require very
little more care and feed than if they
performed only the labor on twenty.
acre tarm. Taking this view OF the
subject, it. will be perceived that it
costs comparatively more to carry on.
a small farm than large one. But
the chiefargumentaga inst large farms
is that farmers are liable to work ov-I
er great breadth Of land, without
doing every part of the cultivation
thoroughly. The man with a small
farm will make more manure, in COM
parison to his neighbor who cultivates
twice as much land as himself. For
this, reason the man who has the
greatest breadth of \ .cultivatable
acres will not usually raise as bount-
iful crop as if he TILED only half of
the amount ofland. A thoroagh-go7
ing farmer may till fifty acres with as
satisfactory profit, acre for. acre, as
he can till twenty, if he manage judi
