The century's improved Farm Tools.

Nearly all the Improvements that ever
have been made in agricultural imple
ments have boen made in the nineteenth
century. Az The beginning o! the present
century the best implements they had
were the old fashion wooden plow with
q few pounds OF iron clumsiIy fitted to
the beam and mold board, the sickle,
or cradle, for tho grain crop, the hand
fail for tnreshing grain and the scythe
for making hay.
The old time plow is described ae made
of wood, iron shod, large, illshaped and
cumbersome, drawn by from one to six
yoke Of oxen, requiring ono and often two
men TO hold it, another TO ride on the
beam to keep it in tho ground, still anoth-
er to keep it clear, and the drivers, some.
times four or six men, never less than two
TO plow an acre q day.
Now we have plows that, with light
soil, one mau with two horses will plow
handsomely two and half acres daily.
Then there is q long list OF cnltiyators
and harrows, and revolving hoes and num.
erous other implements, which prepare and
cultivate the soil better by far than ever
before. nearly doing away with the hoe.
one man doing the work OF several men
with old time tools.
The moving machine, with two horses
and driver, will NOW ten or twelve acres
daily, and the horse rake, two horses and
driver will rake up twenty acres daily.
With the sickle, or reap hook. man
could reap and bind hardly an acre daily
nov, with harvester and binders man,
with two good horses. will cut aud bind 10
to 20 acres daily. And 80 on through the
whole list Of improvements in farming
utensils.
Formerly with hand fail man would
ihresh six to ten bushels OF grain in day.
now thresbing machine, two horses and
two or three men will thresh and clean
hundreds Of bushels daily. On the bons0
q, forms in Dakota and California they
with few teams reap, ,thresh, winn1w sud
hlg hundreds aud even thousands Of bush
els Of grain daily.
