That steam-plowing is certain to
become at some future period a reg
ular branch of agriculture, may not
be doubted "any more than that
steam -will eventually supersede
horse-power wherever it can be made
available in the future as it has al
ready done in the past. Agriculture
can not afford to remain behind the
arts in any particular. It has been
brought to that condition now in
England and the East that conven
ience mainly determines whether
the farm be plowed by steam or not.
Its great economy is no longer in
doubt. In the month of April last,
at a meeting of the London Farmers1
Club, a paper was read by a farmer,
Mr. J. K. Fowler, relating his exper
ience with steam cultivation. In

for there was no divided opinion up
on the matter-which followed, sov- I
oral other farmers gave their views
in a practical and interesting man
ner. It appears that the use of steam
is so rapidly extending, that at one
factory in England 100, chiefly doub
le engines, are made yearly to sup
ply the home demand, and GO yearly
for foreign customers. Also, that
the unfavorable condition of the pub-
lie and farm roads, the weakness 0f j
the bridges, and the crooked fences ;
and small fields greatly retard the
use of the engines. That in Ger
many 50 engines are at work on the
sugar-beet farms, and that the im-!
proved cultivation a depth of 15 to
oO inches being reached so increas
es the quality of the crop that the en
terprise is very profitable. In Eng
land, 200 acres a week have been
plowed by one set of engines and
plows, with three men, and horse
cart to draw water and fuel, to at
tend it. The cost of breaking up the
ground 12 or 15 inches, and then cul
tivating or breaking or loosening the
subsoil, not turning it over, to 20 or
:0 inches deep, is there S3 per acre
for both operations. There it pays a
tenant farmer with but 200 acres to
own a set of plows and tackle, the
cost of which varies for different
styles from 13,030 down to $3,000.

many of which we might print, had we
