that saves money for the farmer and
enables him to economize in the matter
of time is as varied as that in any line
of manufacture. but Il is only when
the modern in agricultural impleuents
is brought together, from time to time.
that the sturdy tiller OF the soil is
enabled to form an idea as to the ad-
vancement that is being made in the
direction of tightening his burden by
diminishing his hours Of toll and the
cost in dollars and cents Of production.
An exhibition that will forcibly inn
press upon the farmer the progress
that has been made in the past few
years along the line of soil tilling and
harvesting mechanism is presented at
the Philadelphia National Export ex-
position, an entire building 16O by
450 feet being devoted almost exclu-
sively to this purpose.
In this spacious structure are shown
the Indispensable cultivator. combin-
ing every facility for producing the
best results with the least possible en-
ergy; plows that turn up the soil ac-
! cording to the latest approved scientific
| methods and evoke words of praise
from the plowman while he homeward
plods his weary way; rollers that give
TO the ground the finishing touches
! preparatory to seeding; mechanical
planters that bury the seed rapidly and
with regularity without wasting a
grain; machinery for garnering and
/ slowing the crops that have come as a
reward for toll and enterprise, and
great wagons for carrying the product
/ of the soil to market
Such in brief is the character of the
exhibit in the Exposition Implement
building, so far as it appeals to farm
ers direct. A display of road making
machines helps to solve the good roads
problem in which all humanity is in
terested.
Vehicles. from the light, airy, rub

derous farm ice and general utility
wagon, are exhibited, likewise harness
for the horses that draw them. The
exhibition is the most complete Of IFS
kind that has been presented since
the Columbian exposition in Chicago
