WHAT I KNOW OF FARMING.
BY HORACE GREELEY
XLI.
STEAM IN AGRICULTURE
As yet, the great body of our far
mers have been slow in availing them
selves of the natural forces in opera
tion around them. Vainly for them
does the wind blow across their fields
and over their hilltops: It neither
threshes nor grinds their grain ; it has
ceased even to separate it from the
chaff. The brook brawls and foams
idly adown the precipice or bill-side;
the farmer grinds his grain, churns his
cream, and turns his grindstone, just
as though falling water did not em
body power. Ile draws his Logs
to ono mill, and his Whent, Corn, or
Rye to another, and returns in due
season with his boards or his meal ;
but the lesson which the mill so plainly
teaches remainsby hiro unread Where
running or leaping water is not, there
brisk breezes and fiercer gales are apt
to be. But the average farmer ig
nores the mechanical use of stream
and breeze alike, taxing his own mus
cle to achieve that which the blind
forces of Nature stand ready to do at
his command. It may not, and 1 think
it will not, bo always thus.
Steam as a cheap source of practi
cally limitless power, is hardly a cen
tury old ; yet it has already revolu
tionized the mechanical and manufac
turing industry of Christendom. It
weaves nearly every yard of all the
Textile Fabrics that clothe and shelter
and beautify the human family. It
fashions every bar and every rail of
Iron or Steel ; it impels the machinery
of nearly every manufactory of wares
or of implements; and it, is very rap
idly supplanting wind in the propul
sion of vessels on the high seas, as it
has already done on rivers and on
most inland waters.
Water is, however, still employed
as a power in certain cases, but main
ly because its adaption to this end bus
cost many thousand dollars which ite
disuse would render worthless.
I am quite within bounds in estima
ting that nine-tenths of all the mate
rial force . employed by man in manu
factures, mechanics, and navigation,
is supplied by steam, and that this dis
proportion will be increased to ninety
nine hundredths before the clove of
this century.
For agriculture, steam has done
very much, in the transportation of
crops and of fertilizers, but very little
in the preparation or cultivation of
tho soil. Of steam wagons for roads
or fields, steam-plows for pulverizing
and deepening the soil, and steam-cul
tivators for keeping weeds down and
rendering tillage more efficient, we
have had many heralded in sanguine
bulletins throughout the last forty
years; but I am not aware that one of
them has fulfilled the sanguine hopes
of its author. Though a dozen steam
plows have been invented in this coun
try, and several imported from Eu
rope, I doubt that a single square mile
cf our country's surface has been plow
ed wholly by steam down to this hour.
If it has, Louisiana—a State which
one would not naturally expect to
find in the van of industrial progress—
has enjoyed the benefit and earned the
credit of the achievement.
Of what Steam has yet accomplish
ed in direct aid of Agriculture, I have
little to say, though in Great Britain
quite a number of steam plows are
actually at work in the fields, and I
am assured with fair success. Until
something breaks or gives out, one of
these plows does its appointed work
better and cheaper than such work is
or can be done by animal power; but
alt the steam plows whereof I have
any knowledge seem too bulky, too
complicated, too costly, ever to win
their way into general use. I value
them only as hints and incitements
toward something better suited to the
purpose.
What our farmers need is not a
steam plow as a specialty, but a loco
motive that can travel with facility,
not only on common roads, but across
,oven freshly-plowed fields, without
embarrassment, and prove as docile to
its manager's touch as an average
span of horses. Such a locomotive
should not cost more than $5OO, nor
weigh more than a" tun when laden
with fuel and water, for a half hour's
steady Work. It should be so contriv
ed that it may be hitched in a minute
to a plow, a barrow, a wagon or cart,
a saw or grist mill, a mower or reaper
a thresher or stalk-cutter, a stump or
rock-puller, and rnade,useful in pump.
ing and draping operations, digging a
cellar or laying,tip - a, wtlll,asi also in
ditching or trenching. Wo may have
to wait some yeats yet for a servant
so dexterous and docile, yet I feel con•
fident that our children will enjoy and
appreciate his handiwork.
The farmer often needs far more
power at ono season than at another,
and is compelled to retain and subsist
working animals at high cost through
months in which he has no work for
them, because ho must have them
when these months have transpired.
If he could replaoo those animals by
a machine which, when its season of
usefulness is over, could be cleaned,
oiled, and put away under a tight roof
until next seeding time, the saving
alike of cost and trouble would be very
considerable.
When 'our American reapers first
challenged attention in Great Britain
the general skepticism as to their effi
ciency was counteracted by the sug
gestion that, oven though reaping, by
machinery should prove more expen
sive than reaping by hand, the ability
to cut and save the grain crop more
rapidly than hitherto would overbal
ance that -enhancement of cost. In
the British Isles, day after day of chil
ling wind and rain is often encounter
ed in harvest time ; the standing wheat
or oats or barley becoming dragged,
' or lodged, or beaten out, while the
owner impatiently awaits the recur
rence of sunny days. When these at
length arrive, he is anxious to harvest
many acres at once, since his grain is
wasting and he knows not how soon
cloud and tempest may again be his
portion. But all his neighbors are in
like predicament with himself; so that
little extra help is attainable. If now
the aid of a machine may be comman
ded, which will cut 15 or 20 acres per
day, he cares less how much that work
will cost than how soon it can be ef
fected. Hence, even thOugh cutting
by horse power had proved more cost
ly than cutting by band, it would still
have been welcome.
So it is with plowing, hero and al
most everywhere. Our farmers have
this year been unable to begin plow
ing for winter grain so early as they
desired, by reason of intense heat and
drouth,whereby their fields were baked
to the consistency of half-burned brick
Much seed will in consequence have
been sown too late, while much seed
ing will have been precluded al
together, by inability to prepare
the ground in due season. If a ma
chine had been at hand whereby 15 or
20 acres per day could have boon plow.
ed and harrowed, thousands would
have invoked its aid to enable them
to sow their grain in tolerable season,
even though the cost had boon essen
tially heavier than that of old•fashion
ed plowing. I traversed Illinois on
the 13th and 14th of May, 1859, when
its entire soil seemed soaked and sod
,,den with incessant rains, which had
not yet ceased pouring. Inevitably,
there had been little or no plowing
yet for the vast corn crop of that
State; yet barely two weeks would in
tervene before the close of the 'proper
season fur corn planting. Even if these
should be wholly favorable, the plow
ing could not be effected in season,
and much ground must bo planted too
late or not planted at all. In every
such case, a machine that would plow
six or eight furrows as fast as a man
ought to walk, would add immensely
to the year's harvest, and be hailed as
a general blessing.
I recollect that a German observer
of Western cultivation—a man of de
cided perspicacity and wide observa
tion—recommended that each farmer
who had not the requisite time or team
for geting in his corn crop in due sea
son should plow single furrows thro'
his field at intervals of 3 to 31 feet,
plant his corn on the earth thua.. t,wu
ed, and proceed, no soon as his plant
ling was finished, to plow out the spa
ces as yet undisturbed between the
springing rows of corn. I do not know
that this recommendation was over
widely followed; but I judge that, un
der certain circumstances, it might bo,
to decided advantage and profit.
I have not attempted to indicate all
the benefits which steam is to confer
directly on agriculture, within the
next half century. The irrigation
must become general, I confidently
believe ; and I anticipate a very ex
tensive sinking of wells, at favorable
points, in order that water shall be
drawn therefrom by wind or steam to
moisten and enrich the slopes and
plains around them. Such a locomo
tive as I have foreshadowed might
be taken from well to well, pumping
from each in an hour or two sufficient
water to irrigate several of the adju
cent acres: thus starting a second crop
of bay on fields whence the first had
been taken, and renewing verdure and
grown where we now see vegetation
suspended for weeks, if not months.--
I feel sure that the mass of our farm
ers have not yet realized the impor
tance and beneficence of irrigation,
nor the facility wherewith its advan
tages may be secured.
