it ? Here comes tl)o Yankee fiirmer with las steel" plough ancT 

 splendid team, turning OAer the broad furrow to the sun's eye, 

 then witii the harrow mellowing the rich soil, and with a drill 

 sowing his grain in parallel rows ; he fills his barns with plen- 

 ty, and exclaims. Where is the man who can impro\e upon 

 this? He is already born. Here comes on the great steam 

 pulverizer, which shall supercede the plough as surely as tltc 

 plough superceded the rough-hewn spade of the savage, stirring- 

 up the ground to the depth of two or three feet, and making it 

 all as fine as the finest garden-moidd . Then comes the steam 

 dibbler, planting every grain at an exact distance from every 

 other : not one here and one there, as at present — like the 

 plums in, a raiser's pudding, or croAvded together like the dol- 

 lars in his bags — but springing up and standing like the chess- 

 men on a board, with room enough to tiller out on every side.
