A combination machine for farming
purposes has been invented by ex-
Congressman Murray, of South Caro-
lima, which has adjustable attachments
to be used on principles somewhat
similar to those used ON some sewing
machines, and is destined to play an
important part in farming throughout
the world. The machine is tricycle.
set on frame 3x6 feet, one of the at
tachments that may be used as a mower
measuring five feet. Its cut is
clean, and it has free and easy move
ment. and is light draught. The own
ers are willing to test it with any other
machine built for that purpose. Other
attachments may be used to SOW all
kinds of grain, wheat, flax, oats, corn,
and other cereals, and one as useful
and unique as any is for cotton. There
are four distinct parts to the cotton
planter, one for opening the row, an
other for sowing the cotton by grain,
an appliance for covering, and roller
to press the row, all of which is done
simultaneously in one drive of the
horses along the row. The machine
also carries with it the most effective
potato-digger yet discovered, as well
as eight or more hoe drills for drilling
wheat, all of which are worked upon
the same frame, drawn by two horses.
The chopper should also be
mentioned. 1t revolutionizes the cot
ton-chopping business on the planta-
tions at the South. Indeed, 1t dis
misses the women from the cotton
fields, and the children need no
longer be away from the schools that
they may be engaged in cotton-chop-
ping. The truth is, two men with two
horses, using this machine, can chop
many times more in day than thirty
men, women. and children with their
hands and hoes.
