This book was released on 2017-07-27 with total page 794 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Book of Farm Implements and Machines I 71 Steam Cultivation - Mr William Smith of Woolstone, Bucks Mr John Allin Williams of Balyden, Wilts and Mr P. A. Halkett of Merton Road, Wandsworth, London. These gentlemen, by a large expenditure of time and money, have done much tos the solu tion of the question of economical steam-cultivation. The inven tions of Mr Smith and Mr Williams depend for their action on a system of traction by ropes, pulleys, and windlasses, after the man ner, more or less modified, employed by Mr Fowler, whose plan we have fully described. Mr Halkett's plan involves arrangements of decided novelty, inasmuch as he prepares the land to be cultivated for the operation of the implements employed, by laying down tram or guide ways, by which he proposes to insure a precision of Opera tion otherwise unattainable. Of machines or implements adapted to steam-cultivation, to be dragged over the land either by the direct power of a portable steam-engine fitted with Boydell's Endless Railway, or by the windlass-and-pulley system of Fowler, and cognate plans, we may here notice the Cultivator, with revolving tines, of Mr Bernard Samuelson of Banbury, and the Eleven-tined Cultivator of Mr Richard Coleman of Chelmsford. Of recent patents connected with steam cultivation now attracting attention, mention may be made of those of Mr A. Dacre Lacy, of Hall House, Knayton, near Thirsk, York shire; of Mr Thomas Keddy, of Handsforth, Stafford; of Mr T. Ricketts, of Castle Foundry, Buckingham and of Messrs Howard and Baker, Bedford.

Download or read book Equipment for the Farm and the Farmstead Classic Reprint written by Harry C. Ramsower and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-09 with total page 548 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Equipment for the Farm and the Farmstead This book, as suggested by its title, contains a discussion of the general problem of equipping the farm and the farmstead. The material herein presented has been collected from various sources during the author's service as a teacher. An effort has been made to bring together and to present in a readable and teachable form such facts and principles as the modern farmer demands and must understand for the successful practice of his profession. It is only in very recent years that questions such as those discussed in this book have been given the consideration which they deserve. Colleges, experiment stations, institute speakers, and lecturers generally, have given their full time and effort during the past quarter of a century to the discussion of larger crop yields and better live stock. It is well perhaps that it should have been so, for profitable cr0p and live-stock production are the foundation of agricultural prosperity. On the other hand, when one reflects that about one fifth of the total value of farms in the corn belt is wrapped up in buildings and machinery, the wonder is that the subject has not been given adequate discussion long before. But times have changed and the remarkable interest which is now being taken in such questions as farm buildings, water supply, sewage-disposal, farm lighting etc. Proves beyond question that information on these and kindred subjects is being eagerly sought.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Farm Implements and Farm Machinery: And the Principles of Their Construction and Use; With Simple and Practical Explanations of the Laws of Motion and Force as Applied on the Farm Nothing shows the advancement of modern agriculture in a more striking light than the rapid improvement in farm implements. It has enabled the farmer within the last fifty years to effect several times the work with an equal force of horses and men. Plows turn up the soil deeper, more evenly and perfectly, and with greater ease of draught; hoes and spades have become lighter and more efficient; grain, instead of being beaten out by the slow and laborious work of the flail, is now showered in torrents from the thrashing-machine; horse-rakes aecom plish singly the work of many men using the Old hand rake; horse-forks convey hay to the barn or stack with ease and rapidity; twelve acres Of ripe grain are neatly cut in one day with a two-horse reaper; grain drills and planting machines, avoiding the tiresome drudgery of hand labor, distribute the seed for the future crop with even ness and precision. The owner of a seventy-thousand-acre farm in Illinois carries on nearly all his work by labor-saving machinery. He drives posts by horse - power; breaks his ground with Comstock's rotary spader; mews, rakes, loads, unloads, and stacks his hay by horse-power; cultivates his corn with two-horse, seated or sulky cultivators; ditches low ground, sows and plants by machinery; so that his labor ers ride in the performance of their tasks without exhaust ing their strength with needless walking over extended fields.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Implements of Agriculture OF the matter contained in the following pages a considerable portion was first collected for, and formed part of, an essay for the Royal Agricultural Society of England. The work is the result of laborious observation and inquiry, which in various ways have been afforded from the circumstance of my engagement as a partner in a long established manufactory of agricultural implements. The facilities which this position has afforded me for obtaining a general knowledge of farming implements, and for becoming acquainted with the manufacture and trial of most of the machines in general use, leads me to hope that the information thus gathered, may not be without value, to those who are interested in the progress of Agricultural mechanics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from American Agricultural Implements, Vol. 1 of 2: A Review of Invention and Development in the Agricultural Implement Industry of the United States The year of the World's Columbian Exposition is a most advantageous time for issuing, in book form, a review of the development of the agricultural implement industry in America. To our improved methods in agriculture, more than to any other factor, excepting railroads, we owe the marvellous development of our resources during the past century, and a full share of the credit should be given to the inventors, beginning with Whitney just 100 years ago, who gave their lives, often in martyrdom, to the development of inventions, whose object was to make labor more effective in man's struggle with Mother Earth. If we had none of our modem implements of planting, cultivation, harvesting and separation, Europe would look in vain to our shores for bread and clothing for her congested population, and the millions of our own cities would be to-day an ignorant peasantry. Empires in the past arose and fell and their places were utterly forgotten, save to the scribe or philosopher, for the masses - men, women and children were so enslaved to the soil that they were helpless, after their masters had slain each other in war or gone the way of dissipation. But in this nineteenth century man has been shaking off the shackles of manual toil, and has secured advantages of education and intercourse with his fellowmen that lay a firm foundation for the future and insure against a relapse, in America, at least, into another slough of ignorance and helplessness. It is fitting that, in our celebration of the achievement of Columbus in the discovery of America, we should also remember the inventors who by power of mind over matter have freed their fellowmen. To these, whom the historian of the future all call truly great, this brief review of their work is dedicated. The author acknowledges with gratitude the kindness of C. W. Marsh, editor of the Farm Implement News in authorizing the revision and use of his able historical articles published a few years ago. Mr. Marsh is well qualified to speak with authority in matters pertaining to the agricultural implement industry, as he was the inventor of the harvester, a machine which represents to-day more capital invested in its manufacture and use than any other single machine in the world, excepting the steam engine; and since retiring from its manufacture has been actively engaged for nearly ten years in editorial work that has kept him closely informed regarding the progress of every branch of the industry. It is to be regretted that Mr. Marsh could not have taken up this work, but editorial duties have pressed him too closely, and it has devolved upon the writer, who has undertaken it in the hope that four years' connection with Mr. Marsh's paper, nearly three years of that time as editorial assistant, has in some measure fitted him for the task.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from General Catalogue No; 5, 1836: Farm Machinery and Vehicles A great improvement has been made in our Turf and Stubble construction of Plows by the introduction of our steel standard. The Plows we are bringing out with this improvement will be known as the Red Jacket series, being of the same shape as the popular Bluebeard Plows, and as much improved in construction over that Plow as steel is over cast iron. The Red Jacket series is gotten up for turf and heavy clay stubble work, where a strong plow is needed to do difficult plowing. The entire series have a long and easy turn of mold, partaking properly] of the wedge-shape, which will insure them to take the ground and stick to their work where it is possible to plow at all. They are made with hardened molds, and furnished with plain or fine cutter shares, as desired. Suit able for all difficult soils, and particularly adapted for heavy clay lands.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Evolution of Reaping Machines Sir: I have the honor to transmit herewith, and to recommend for publication as a bulletin of this Office, an article on the evolution of reaping machines, prepared under the general supervision of Thomas F. Hunt, dean and professor of agriculture, College of Agriculture and Domestic Science, Ohio State University, by M. F. Miller, when a candidate for the degree of bachelor of science in that college. The article summarizes the history of the various stages in the develop ment of reaping machines in so satisfactory a manner that it is deemed worthy of publication by the Department as a useful contribution to information on the important subject Of farm machinery. It has not been attempted in this summary to refer to all inventions in connec tion with reaping machines, but, as a rule, only those are considered which have marked some important advance in the development of the perfected modern machine. A few of the more important sources of information drawn upon in the preparation of the article are referred to in footnotes; a more complete list of authorities consulted will be found at the end of the bulletin (p.
