Application of Steam Power 
little manure-carting; but his home- farm horses had had lona: 
lurlouglis, and he had paid back far more motive-power than he 
borrowed, by working on the other farm with the steam-cultivator. 
In future, he proposed to keep breeding mares, and have 
altogether three and the pony, so as to manage without borrowing 
any horseflesh. He showed that day, beans, mangolds, turnips, 
clover, barley, and wheat, growing upon steam-tilled land. As he 
liad sold his three horses at 30/. a piece, and saved their keep and 
depreciation, &c., valued (on a clay farm) at 90/. more, he had thus 
gained 180/. in one year ; which was just about the prime cost of 
his steam-tackle, exclusive of the engine that did his threshing, 
grinding, cutting, &c., and also Avork for other people. In 
manual labour he looked for no saving; the labourer should have 
better wages now that he became an engineer or machine-man : 
and as the couch was killed, and annuals had little chance of 
growing, his quondam horse-keepers, armed with sharp hoes, kept 
his green crops clear of weeds. Mr, Smith still continues his 
management with extraordinary success, requiring the turnover- 
plough only for burying t!ie live vegetation of a clover lea.
