AVORK DONE BY MACHINERY. 



Table XV shows the amount of work done by machinery in acres 

 and in tons per day, per year, and during its life. On the Pennsyl- 

 vania farms, mowers, tedders, and rakes cover a greater acreage 

 during life than they do on the New York farms.

 per year and for its life. Mowers are used about the same number 

 of days in each region. Tedders are used 16 more days and rakes
