| Show tamn TAME ROSES thanks to sister bister sarah D RIch elch for a beautiful old fashioned red rose whose fragrance vividly recalled the days cf of prom arrom from I 1 he ke illustrated what I 1 have seen of new agricultural tools bleaden what bave have you seen heard heardz or learned learne dj in all your llfra experience that would be ot of service to manua manea kinet klatt leave you invented or anything new illustrated I 1 I 1 uta iuta ufa from front rage SUBSOIL slows snows I 1 have not yet done wih with discoveries I 1 in plows the improvement of MAPES as carried into effect by nourse alason mason 1 and knox upon the subsoil plow entitles him to the rank of a discoverer a benefactor for lie he has enabled tile the farmer far mer to do an important work wi with hone one yoke of oxen easier than he did dd before with three yoke this plow creeps creglis along under the hard pan below the soil producing exactly the sarn same effect as does tile die mole lifting ftp and ciu crumbling the earth above and leaving x tunnel below for the tiie passage of water or air it is a great invention it makes two blades of grass griss grow where but one grew before MICHIGAN PLOW AND DIGGING MACHINE of all plows ever invented that most commonly known as the michigan plow is the implement that puts the land in best condit condition ign ibn for tillage at one operation though not quite equal to tile the 1 digging machine invented by gibbs and porfe perfect perfected acted tid bid by mapes by attaching his ills subsoil plow to the same frame so that upon land laud in good tillage one yoke of oxen travels as fast as with a plow 1 loosening the earth fifteen inches deep and mellowing a strip two feet wide six or eight inot inc es deep diep as fine as though it had been lifted and j shook up with a fork this then ia a new now in bention of an earthworker earth worker which if I 1 have not invented I 1 have discovered discovered early when in its incipient state and with a kind encouraging cou pou raging word of more value oftentimes than money to the tile inventor I 1 bid him go on think on work on hope oil on tru trust t on ami auld thus have I 1 been of service to mankind I 1 have not done with plows yet give me a fulcrum said the philosopher and with wilh my lever 1 will lift the earth 0 invention is the fuler fulcrum tim tile tiie plow is the lever the earth is lifted tile tiie sod that thai formed before anell aneil nui nul nai was is lifted and t turned arned over by the plow tile tiie land laud of the plain and the land of the hillare hill hlll ire tre al tiki alike tilled for mans theale of the plow at first a rude instrument in the lands hands of rude men now a scientific machine but it is not yet perfect everyday every day however sees new improvements reversible OR SIDE HILL PLOW alow one of tile tiie latest is one long sought dought for one that would enable the hill land farmer to plow his fields right and left hy reversing his plow it was a great desideratum upon which ingenious men have spent years of earnest study all the contrivances tri vances for reversing the share cliare or tile tiie moldboard lii lla have V a been clumsy and unsatisfactory requiring a it strong armed plowman li lowman and requiring hard labor the attempts that have been made to tox toj reverse everse tile tiie beam have proved unsatisfactory because it was impossible to io bring the point into a right line of draught upon both sides I 1 have not invented apio A PI pio plo tv obviate this dif dir lui I 1 have discovered that thata a poor almost unknown of onondaga Chion chlon daga r courtly coun ty in this state sait has made the invention a and n d I 1 have benefited mankind by making it known and bringing it to the knowledge and approval of tile he largest plow making establishment la in america through the means of invention in one mail man and the di dle die civery ry and making mating it known of at another iother and the ability to manufacture of a third an invention that in itself seems to and unreflecting minds but a tripe trifle in its way will yet become of the greatest service to mankind mankina this reversible plo pio plow w so ardently desired so nung bung sought for so ed experimented upon so expensive to inventors and manufacturers so lya ija inutile utile to those who most required it when wilen finally discovered is so simple that all wonder why it lever never was colu contrived before it had been half contrived but bat unlike half a to loaf ar afi tt is beter betler than no bread a half hall formed idea was only of service to future developers at length the development came the reversing beam before contrived had been made boswill to swing 9 upon a stiff standard the improve improvement men I 1 p places laces the turning center upon the under side so that whichever way tile the forward end is set it always sets relatively i to the right or left handleis hand leas though its hinder end was framed into it when in fiet it is held in whatever position right or left lert or central that the plowman desires by an easy working latch anu and and always in line with the point because the point is attached to and swings with the thi beam and is made immensely strong by its c connection newtion with tile the coulter that is the of or the new reversible plow itis a little thing in itself it will be of gr great e at service bernce to mankind for with it the farmer can cam mence upon one side of his field and turu tara his furrow to the tile right hand irand until lie reaches the iho end enda and with gitlia a touch of hand or foot ho he un looses the catch that holds the beam bearil the oxen turn back inthe in tiie tile same came furrow and iu in turning turn the plow from a to a left handed one and so back and forth lie he lays his furrow slices all ono one ne way and leaves no deep center ditch I 1 in athe the middle of his land PLOWS instruments OF civilization iunce once ronce more of plows they are greit great great instruments of civilization and of them I 1 can hardly say too much without them thern as I 1 said before we could not live for the reason teason that we all live in in city lire life excepting a few fruits of the sea and rare city ilfe life excepting a few fruits of the s sea ea and rare tidbits of game from the woods upon the fruits of the cultivated earth the plowed lands of the country fields what a benefactor what a promo promoter ter of civilization is he lie who hi invents venti improves and makes plows GANG PLOWS once more of what have discovered new in plows I 1 have llave discovered one desired by the marmer farmer particularly the farmer r who thinks has thought thaita a harrow drawn over his fields though it loosens the surface compacts tiie the soil below and after all is not the implement that lie he wants to cover ills his broadcast grain it wants a plow that wili turn a small furrow hence the indention vont vent voni ion lon of gang plows they are all too beav heavy Y and require too much time lime to displace the harrow the cultivator was invented neither gang plows nor cultivator was the tool the farmer wanted GANG cultivator OR SEEDING PLOW alow knox the inventor with nourse the ter mined 0 to o fill this want and have 0 ont out a new now tool called tile tiie gang cuie culE cultivator ivator 21 I 1 kud jud d cail call it it the tiie SEEDING PLOW it is so aamir ely fey fly adapted to that purpose the bame same team that would draw the scratch scratching irig harrow will draw the seeding plow and according to the plowman plow mans a desire turn four six or eight little furrows burrows so as slightly to cover coverall all ail the tiie grain in buch such a manner that when it grows it looks as though it had been planted in drilled rows this implement is very simple light and cheap this is its description in form it is unlike any other cultivator except its ita little steel pi plowshare 0 ashare ilko like formed teeth it is more like an X than a V take hold of the upper end of the lefthand left hand top of and set it up perpendicular a and aud u d call calk that the beams to one end of which the team is atia atla attached clied md und to the other end the handles projecting down from the forward end is is a sharp tooth that serves as a guide to keep the instrument in a right line of draught at the hind end is is another gulde guide tooth that serves also as a fulcrum upon w which aich to lift the forward end by a twist upon the tiie handles when wilen tile the guide gulde looth catches a root or stone upon the other branch of the tile X the he little turn ng plowshares are fixed so that eight five inch furrows are ate turned ane one after another leaving both seed and land in the best condition to grow I 1 have rarely discovered an implement that thab bid fairer fairer to do its work rapidly and cheaply and give greater satisfaction to the thie husbandman than this new invention this so called knobs gaug gang gult guit cultivator ivator STEAM SAWMILLS SAW MILLS what else elave rave I 1 seen is is still a question ha happily p I 1 call can still continue to answer much that would be of service to mankind ic it more seen mole mote known more used by those whose business it is is to produce both for their own benefit and the benefit of those who consume I 1 have lately seen a late invent inventions lonin ionin the use of ste amby means of which a farmer can hitch up ins ills oxen and i drive to the woods a steam boiler
