A glance in the machinery building
and sheds would indicate that soon
horses will be no longer used as mo
tive power on the farm. Not only are
there engines shown for almost every
conceivable purpose, attachments to put
upon your tin Lizzie to grind grain,
saw wood and do the wash and ironing
and churning but the different tractors
for ploughing and doing farm work are
supplemented by cultivators and lawn
mowers equipped with a motor on the
machine making il only necessary to
hold the handles and guide the machine
while the motor does the rest. Even the
good old fashioned husking bee seems TO
be doomed by the looks of the corn
husking machinery exhibited, while the
milking machines are more numerous
than hired men. Here also the sugar
making equipments, 50 different from
the old kettle of olden time, remind
one Of the superior excellence nowadays
of Vermont maple sugar The combined
exhibit of these utensils for the Monarch
and Bellows Falls eyaporators and sug
ar tools is now under the Vermont Farm
Machine company, they having purchased
that part Of the business Of True &
Blanchard Of Newport.
