A NEW PLOUGH.

t The Chicago sorew pulveriser will e effect quite a revolution in ploughing a. or, ajt annate, in ploughin» stubble and d fallow land. Thiß instrument is capable d- of doing the work of four double-furrow s ploughs on land for which it is suitable, t and does jibe wprk more' efficiently/ -Our d farmers are notiusually slow ito'appreciate y the value of a now invention, but doubt* f less there are many who will be somer : [what sceptial about the capabilities of this s new machine till they see it working. It i- may be argued that to plough twelve acres 0 a day with ordinary ploughs requires the e .work.of at least twelve' horsesi atfd''how" 'h e P)'f it credible that the same amount t of work can bo done by.four horses,-how*-n over big and strong they, may be. But • experience teaches us that the'amount of t work to be done is not to bogauged somuoh 1 by the actual strength employed at by t the way in which lit is'applied. | Thief g Amoricans understand this thoroughly,* t and we have already a striking inatanoe e of the economy of labor in the respiri® I e machine. One man and two horses per"' s form the same amount of work sb seven •• men and a greater number of h'prsei, ,• e There is, therefore, nothing to bo aston- i s ished at in the saving of labor promised ;- to bo effected by the Chicago Bcrewpul-., ir vorsier, The implement is comparatively 11 a new one, and is bound to ba improved b< upon; and we think the farmors may con- • fidently reckon upon reducing the cost of » tillage to a figure much lowor that it ; t stands at present, and that at no very r distant period of time, Ploughing as it is e done at present is altogether out of keept ing with tho other operations of tillage, s and a more economical mothod of pula verising the soil is indispensable, to,; the e requirements of modern agriculture,— 0 Lyttelton Times. j.
