Inc Biggest Plow.

The ordinary farmer would hardly
recognize as a plough a giant ma
chine now in use in Kern County. Cal.
This is without doubt the biggest
plough in the world. 1t cuts a furrow
four feet wide, and was originally built
for the purpose Of making irrigation
canals. Even for this huge under
taking it was found too unwieldly. To
start the plough in motion eighty
teams of oxen are required. So the
farmers of Kern County manage to do
their work without the aid of the prize
plough and keep II on view merely to
show what Weste n enterprise can ac-
complish.
