A NEW ERA ~ AGRIcULTuRg-No
LONGER NECESSARY TO "EAT Thy BREAD
BY the SWEAT on Thy Brow AND TO
DIGEST IT ny WORKING AT THE PLow.-
The six thousand years since the expu-
| sion from the Garden of Eden have
been periods of hard work ~ man and
beast. To none more than TO the cultva-
tor of the soil. Too often has he dug in the
earth and sowed his seed only to find that
his days we're but labor and sorrow. and
his reward b.: 4 sparse or entirely worth
less crop. But under the guiding star of a
new dispensatinn which has left far in the
past the days in which grain was ground
between two stones which has summoned
10 its aid that faithful trio Of servants,
literature, science and art and which has
made mind control matter, genius has
been fired, and the immutable laws that
| regulute the earth, sea and sky have been
employed 10 rule machinery devised for
the saving Of labor, until man has almost
| regained his first estate No more need
the pcrspiration How ere the farmer has
dug a rod cc e==;h, but he can cultivate
acres without the exudation of thimble-
| ful of moisture.
The fertile brain Of man, under the
enlightened supervision of Christianity,
| has produced machinery by which the
farmer and worker in mines and mill. can
accomplish hundred times his former
work with but little application of brain
and Drawn. If iimilar progress coniin-
nes, the time will be when the agricultural
prince eau rit ia h,s grape sIbor and see
his machinery passing to and fro over his
fields, only using his force of mind TO con-
troll all thvii' movements as they cultivate
his crops and gather in his harvesis. Some
beautiful specimens of modern agricultural
and mill machinery are now on exhibition
in the warerooms of Gordon & Lands, on
the western side of McCaHerty's building
| They have been selected by the two com
petent gentlemen who compose the firm
from the very best known in the world.
Among them is the famous stationary en-
gine manufactured by Mr.. Lands, men,
ber OF the firm. Another is that excep-
iionally elegant and useful machine known
As the "Adriance Reaper, = which, though
including many different parts, is 50 easily
managed and exquisitely balanced that the
horses which may be hitched to it, tongue
do not feel the weight Of more than a
pound. BY actual trial, the reaper can be
made ready for work and again prepared
for storage in the shed ia fen minutes.
Two men can do the same in a correspond
inglyshorter time. Similar TO the reaper is
the "Adrispce Mower, manufactured by
the same firm at Poughkeepsie, n Y,
which even child can manage. We be-
lieve this firm are the exclusive agents for
the Paxton Force-fecd Grain and Fer;il-
izing Drill, which does the work of SOW
ing, drilling and feriilizing at the same
time, and saves an immense amount of
work. The "Herrisburg Corn Planter" is
a marvel Of ingenuity. 1t will sow the
required number Of grains of corn and
feed the plaster with the same movement.
| The champion Hay Rake, with teeth and
compass almost sufficient to rake an acre al
single sweep, can be operated bv a child.
| by happy stroke of fortune which never
falls in the same place twice, they have
closed a contract by which they can surplv
customers with superior windmills at one
third the actual value. The firm deal In
All kinds of machinery as we'll a agricul-
tural implements, but we have not snace
to mention tho many different machines
for which they are agents. They will send
price list Ia all persons, on application
But call on the gentlemen who compose
the firm will be found of great value TO
ell interested, as they are both practical
engineers and machinists, Mr.. Lands, cs-
pecially, having the advantage of thirty
years experience in the business.
