PRICE THREE CENTS.
Labor-Snvfng Machinery.

The saving in the operation of husbandry
by the use of modern implements and
methods is equal to one-half the former
cost of working. BY the improved plough
labor equivalent to that of one horse in
three is saved. BY means of drills two
bushels of seed Will go as far as three hush
els scattered broadcast. The plants come
up in rows and may be tended by horse
hoes being in the bottoms of little burrows
the ground crumbles down against the
plant, which is not so readily heaved out
by the winters frost. The reaping ma
chine is a saving of more than one-third of
the labor when it cuts and rakes and will
eventually save fully three fourths when 1t
is made to bind automatically, as it shortly
viii be. The thresbing machine is saw
ing of more than two-third of the old
hand-fial mode. The root-cutters for stock
in England and in some places in the north
ern states and Canada much reduce the la
Dor of winter feeding. The saving in the
labor of handling hay in the field and barns
by means of hore rakcs and horse hay-forks
Is equal TO one-half. With the exception
of the grain drill, which had a precarious
existence previous to 1776, all these move
nents have been commenced and brought
to the present relative perfection within the
century now closing. - Ha,pe7's Maya .
