The rural areas, especially rural farming, in the late 19th and early 20th centuries were impacted by the Second Industrial Revolution with the development of technologies and conveniences for the farming community, including electricity, voltaic battery, rural mail delivery and the early mechanization of some farm equipment. These developments created the publishing of new magazines which focused on farming and the agricultural industry.
In The Gilded Age, a work that encompasses American history from 1870s to the turn of the century, author Joel Shrock’s focus was on the massive changes that transformed Americans’ lives. “One of the most revolutionary events in the countryside during the Gilded Age was the mechanization of farming. . . Farm production as a whole increased three fold from 1865 to 1900.” [Shrock 6-7] Changes in farm implements included the invention of such tools: the grain drill, the hay loader, the cord binder and the lister with its dual action of tilling land and planting seeds.
