incredable number of machines and
implements In their work. and find
them all necessary. For q crop Of hay
for instance, there are ten machines.
A crop Of potatoes calls for no less than

chimes. A crop Of oats or wheat
brings eigh. OF these into use. and
everyone IL indispensable for the prof.
liable culture and harvesting OF these
crops. There are several kinds of

one Of them calls for mechanical skill

poses for which II Is used. It Is thus
