A farmer is ' a workman'and the in- ference is plain enough. The criterion consists both in the Selection of the tools and in the condition in which they are kept. We live in a mechan- ical age; in which hand -work, has be- come obsolete, and, without machinery, labor is only:partly productive. With- out machinery to help him, a farmer cannot successfully compete with other industries vthich are 1c:carried on by means of medhanical lappliances, nor with those of his brother farmera who ase machinery. Already eastern farm- ers feel the irksome competition of cheap produets raised on large Western farms by the use of sulky plows, sulky cultivators, seed -sowers, and harvesters. And the Western farmees are sorely be- set because 6f the cheap wheat grown on the vast bonanza, farms of the North- west, where farm rnechines may be seen marshalled in array with military precision, and where division of labor in their use is made available to the largest extent. Division of labor is one of those great industrial levers which are need to move the sooial- world, and a bare machine is merely an example of the dividing et' the farm labor ameng the hundreds of arti- sans who mine the ore, smelt the iron, fashion it into plough -shares, and fit it into the completed plow. All these men work for and with the farmer to help him plow and plant and reap and carry his harvests to market. Con- sidered in this light, the subject of farm machinery may well be of the greatest interest to a farmers, and in considering it we may find it useful first to take a cursory view of what mechanics are do- ing to provide machinery for the farmer, the profit of mine machinery, and how it should be used. The list of farm machinery provided by the brains and hands of inventors -for farmers' use is a long one, if we should enumerate the whole. Of plows alone we have a vast array, but of this a large portion has become obsolete. It is a drawback to the great, ,adva.ntages we enjey that new improvements are con- tinually being made, end the plow of last year is displa,ced by one of the present. But every good thing has its dark side, end the IUBOi0118 peach, even, has its large 'stone withih it which we must throw way. Still, we must con - eider if it is p?;-afitable to keep an old tool at work rather than cast it aside and purchase a new aad better one. UK:rally this is not profitable, and the saving in labor and the better work one with a new and improved tool may pay several times over in one season for its cost and the loss on the discarded one. The chief inapt-even:rent in plows at the present tirne is in the use of an exceed- ingly hard metal, compared with which hard steel is soft. Shares made of this hard iron wear but very little, and re- tain so smooth a surface and so bright a polish. as to move freely in the most adhesive soil. This reduces labor and improves the work, and both of these are important helps. But the corning improvement in plowiae is to displace the plow and use a pinverizer. The attontion of agricultural inventors has long been turned to this object, and ers, pulverizers, aad soil working machines of many kinds have been de- vised and tried and failed. The most recent and most prortheing machine is a screw pulverizer, whigh, as it passes over a breadth" of several feet of soil, breaks and turns it and reduces it to a mellow condition. This machine pro- mises to work ten acres a day with four horses and one rn an, w hialaif it is realized, will certainly revolutionize the work of plowing. As regards 'harrows it may well be supposed that before long these clumsy tools will be dispensed with, and the soil will be prepared and the seed. sown and covered at one operation. Rat until then we may well be satisfied with the great improvements made in these implements. The object of the harrow is to pulverize and mix the soil. To do this in the beat manner We re- quire an implement that will work the surface and not tear the manure, and the buried sods and trash from below the surface and leave it on the top to interfere with, the growing crops and with harvesting them. This objeot is attained by the use of teeth which slope backward and pass over these obstruc- tions, burying them atilt deeper in the soil and covering them with fresh mel- low earth: Another newly introduced implement which is at once plow and karrow is the disk hOrow. It is fur- nished with a number of sharp steel disks, naounted on 4xles which are plaeecl diagonally to t e line of draft. As these wheels are dr wh through the soil and rotate they Oat narrow slices of earth and throw theeu over into fur- rows, leaving the surfaee precisely as if it had been plowed with a number of small plows, yet penetrating several inches. The soil is then in excellent condition for the seed. Another har- row is a bar provided with. steel scrap- ers, which cut into the soil and turn furrows with the same effect as the disk harrow. Both ,of these implements are made to carry the driter. For sowiug and planting we have Corn planters ancl seed drills of all kinds which put the seed where it will do tho most good, covering it properly at the same time. Nor is the field work alone provided for; the garden has been considered by these busy brain workers, the inventors. We have garden Beet sowers, • hand plows and land cult eters of many kinds, which completely displace the hoe and the rake, and small aue-horse plows which cast out ,he spade. For harvesting we have the self -binders which cut the grain, -eke it, gather it into sheaves and bind t with twine at the rate of 20 acres a day. But the half of it cannot be told, and we must hasten to consider what profit there is in the use of farm a.chinery. This ought to "go without 1 saying," for it stands to reason that anything which eases and hastens 1 bor should be profitable to use. But the cost 1 This, of course, is the point to be considered. Now, as a rill° it may be aaid that any first-class farm tool of whatever kind that can be used only 10 days in the year will pay for itself in 5 years, and vary often less than that. At the same time it may be said, if it is used as it should be and is well taken care of when not in. use, it mitY be in good re- pair at the end of 20 years. We may give a case in point: A farmer had 20 acres of heavy grass to cut, and men claimed $2.50 a day. The farmer pur- chased a mower for $96, and in four days had his hay cut without any other outlay. He thus earned $50, or more than half the cost of !the mower, in yeszeralaa=211•1_, those fonx days. At the rate of _ $E5 per day he would have earned (Me - fifth of t e'cost of the =Aver in 12 days. 4 corn planter will drop and cover 8 ores in one day, and at a oast of $40 *1 pay for itself in'planting les than 30 acres. A wheat drill will so 8 acres and. will earn $4 in a day, as there is no harrowing needed after it. Some smaller machines, suoh as fodder cutters, costing $10 to $30 each, Wi 1 - always pay for themselves in one ee son by the saving of fodder alone an allowing for the time used in operator it. But the profit in farm machiner consists very nanch in the right use f it. It a 1 requires skill in the use an proper are in the preservation. large re nufacturer of farm machiner • discover d that it was to his intereSt t use oult iron and steel in the mac:alio:a he made, because farmers, as a ral left their 'a:wahines exposed so meo that they were worn out, not by nee but by eecposure, in three or four year. Unfortunately, he was right, for it is rarely t at farm machines are properl taken c re of, and, indeed, it is as r e that ther are even used rightly. u ting edg s are not kept sharp, forget. ting that it is perfectly true that "if the iron be blunt we must put to mo e strength;" the bearings of machine too, ar ep rarely oiled sufficiently' r cleaned from dust. And, to come to familiar instance, we might ask Ito v few farm wagons have the axles ke It well lubricated, and how many squea their protests against the ill usage:13 they pees to and fro on the road ? necessary wear and tear destroy reo e machinery than its legitimate use. T e same may be said too often of the ow er, who too frequently gives himself u better teeatment than he does his m chines. But it is a poor economy, en may be classed as one of the .greate t wastes cf the farm that costly 'mean ery is 'neither well used nor as e 1 taken ore of as it might and should b • Farmers should see to it that the r sons ar made acquainted with t e principl s of mechanics. They ma not be a le to spend a winter's seaso in a me hanical school, but, if possibl this sho ld be a part of every yo farmer's education. But at least the may be provided with a good naechan cal jouraal, which is an excellent eti cational help, and will, undoubtedl create a desire for further study of m cha,nics and machinery. • 13 Gardening vs. Dyspepsia.
