Rubber plantations, +cattle ranches, vegetable gardens, dairy farms, tree +farms, and a host of similar enterprises all represent +human efforts to compel nature to serve man. +Those who undertake agriculture have had, from +time immemorial, a variety of names, not all of +them complimentary. The people involved in attempted +biological control have been called farmers, +planters, ranchers, and peasants. Farmers carry +on a complicated business in which they use a +variety of tools, implements, and machines. They +also employ land, chemicals, water, plants, and +animals. Their business, however, focuses on living +things. No matter how crude their attempts, or how +uncertain their successes, those who try to grow +living things rank as agriculturalists.<a name="FNanchor_1_1" id="FNanchor_1_1"></a><a href="#Footnote_1_1" class="fnanchor">[1]</a></p> + +<div class="footnote"><p><a name="Footnote_1_1" id="Footnote_1_1"></a><a href="#FNanchor_1_1"><span class="label">[1]</span></a>Of course, the definition excludes brewers, distillers, biological +supply houses, and others, such as zoo curators, who +manage living things. Agriculture takes place on a piece of +land widely and commonly known as a farm.</p></div> + +<p>For the most part, a museum cannot show the +essential biological aspects of agriculture. Agricultural +production involves the farmer in the course +of nature in its seasons, and in the peculiar laws of +living things. In these respects, agriculture stands +rather apart from transportation, manufacturing, +and artistic industries where the tools, machines, +and raw materials remain fairly inert as men work +on them. Machines move but do not live, and +therein lies the major difference between agriculture +and the other arts. Farmers deal with plants +and animals but the museum can show only the +things a farmer uses as he accommodates to and +regulates nature. Some of the objects, in themselves, +give a fair idea of how the farmer used them. Most +people, after all, know about edged blades and +digging tools. Nearly anyone can grasp what a man +might do with a scythe or a plow. Even the working +of a modern reaper needs only a little explanation. +But museums cannot well show cross-breeding +of plants and animals. Museums seldom can show +the results of that cross-breeding. Bags of fertilizer +can be put on display, as can vials of penicillin, and +jars of herbicide. Although some may find these +interesting, such items show little in and of themselves.</p> + +<p>Unfortunately, the things that cannot be shown +<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_2" id="Page_2">[2]</a></span> +in any easily intelligible way surpass in importance +the items that can be shown. The sheep shears, +which anyone can understand, represent less to the +farmer than do the sheep. Sheep shears, no matter +how sophisticated and no matter how necessary, do +not explain sheep husbandry. The shears tell little +about the wool industry, and nothing much about +sheep breeds. And so on through the list of agricultural +enterprises.</p> + +<p>Museums must collect and exhibit the tools, +implements, and machines which farmers use in +their business. These items, however, seldom make +up the core of real agricultural activity. The catalog +here presented shows something of the range of +items that farmers use and that can be preserved +and shown. The variety nearly equals the volume. +Most museums try to avoid duplication. Even so, +few museums manage to collect a continuous series +of things showing any one line of development. +The discontinuity of farm objects on hand virtually +rules out the telling of a coherent and complete +history of agriculture. Nevertheless, the museum +can show something about the major technological +developments in agriculture. The evolution of the +plow, the reaper, or the tractor can be suggested +even if not fully illustrated. Hitting the highlights +has to suffice.</p> + +<p>The full history of technological change also +involves several social and economic conditions.</p> + +<p>First, changes in implements, tools, and methods +result from the accumulation of knowledge. Device +builds upon device: first came the wheel, and then, +much later, the tractor.</p> + +<p>Secondly, the potential user of the device must +feel a need for it. The new method or device not +only must save him work but must clearly increase +his well-being. If any device or change merely increases +the wealth of someone else (a tax collector +or a landlord for example), the farmer seldom will +adopt the new technology.</p> + +<p>Thirdly, since, at first, the new technology almost +invariably costs more than the old, the user must +have or be able to get the capital to buy and use +the newer devices and methods.</p> + +<p>Of these conditions for technological change, +only the cumulative nature of the knowledge can +be shown by the objects. Even here, however, missing +objects make it possible to present only the +most obvious changes, and then not all of them. +Still, seeing the things once used—no matter how +crude or how few—can sometimes help us understand +the way changes took place. Also, this knowledge +sometimes can help us guess how other changes +will take place:</p> + +<p class="blockquot"> +The sequence of inventions also depends upon the +changing needs of a society. Needs and circumstances vary +more than do degrees of talent. Thus when need and +knowledge merge, inventors quickly appear. Indeed, +several men in several places are likely to work on the +same problems at the same time, and they often solve +it in almost identical fashion. Nearly simultaneous inventions +or discoveries occur with astonishing frequency +in the history of technology.<a name="FNanchor_2_2" id="FNanchor_2_2"></a><a href="#Footnote_2_2" class="fnanchor">[2]</a> +</p> + +<div class="footnote"><p><a name="Footnote_2_2" id="Footnote_2_2"></a><a href="#FNanchor_2_2"><span class="label">[2]</span></a>"The Combine Made in Stockton," <i>Pacific Historian</i>, no. +10 (Autumn, 1966), p. 14.</p></div> +<hr /> +<h3><a name="The_Use_of_Farm_Machinery_in_America" id="The_Use_of_Farm_Machinery_in_America"></a>The Use of Farm Machinery in America</h3> + +<p>The part of America that was destined to become +the United States started its history at the very time +when the parent European civilization began to +make major breakthroughs in science and technology. +Thus, Americans became the automatic +beneficiaries of the achievements of others. Because +of peculiar opportunities and needs, Americans +could and did push on to unique achievements. +Nowhere, however, did this building on the past +appear as early, or as impressively, as in the agricultural +sector of the economy. American inventors +of farm implements made important strides earlier +than those in any other field. In turn, American +farmers made more and better use of discoveries +and inventions.</p> + +<p>From the 1650s onward Europeans expanded +their activities in all fields and in all directions. By +that time Europeans had already discovered the +New World, and had seized or bullied most of the +Old. European trade and industry increased, and as +these grew so also did population and urbanization. +People multiplied, and an increasingly greater proportion + +<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_3" id="Page_3">[3]</a></span> + +of them began to live in towns and cities. +Simultaneously, the Europeans increased in wealth; +indeed, most of their activities created more wealth. +The ever-increasing number of people called for +more food, and for changes in European farming. +The Europeans' growing wealth also allowed them +to buy luxury items from around the world: silk +and spice and everything nice. The goods came not +only from the Far East and Africa but also from the +New World. When Europeans began to settle +America, they almost at once had the advantages +of a large and growing metropolitan market in +western Europe. This market provided opportunities +for wealth, but only if the American farmers +developed appropriate commodities and produced +them at reasonable prices.</p> + +<p>The English, Dutch, Swedes, French, and Spanish +settled in North America at trading and exploring +stations. So located, they could direct the flow of +products to Europe. The English chiefly sought +rare products such as gold and spices, and they sent +back furs. The Dutch concentrated on furs. All +European pioneers, however, had to feed themselves. +This took a bit of doing, which at first involved +a merging of European technology with +Indian crops and methods. Later, the settlers +adapted European crops and animals. In spite of +starving times in almost every colony from Virginia +to New England, the new Americans at least mastered +the art of feeding themselves.</p> + +<p>European technology used animals for draft and +employed plows, harrows, and similar implements. +This technology fit European crops better than it +fit American crops. Thus, European implements +and draft animals did not appear until comparatively +late. As long as they depended chiefly on +Indian crops, Europeans simply substituted iron +hoes for stone hoes, and iron axes for stone axes. +But methods such as girdling, slash and burn, and +the rest, came almost directly from Indian technology. +The Pilgrims of Plymouth Plantation went +12 years without a plow; Virginians went almost +as long. The hoe of corn culture served well enough +to keep men alive. Hunting and fishing, of course, +supplemented the food supply, as it did for the +Indians.</p> + +<p>From north to south the story was largely the +same in the 17th century. Everywhere the new +Americans pursued a subsistence agriculture which +supported some other major economic activity. +Pennsylvania developed possibly the most flourishing +subsistence farming. The commercial production +of tobacco, an American crop with American +methods and uses, began early in Virginia and +Maryland. This specialty developed commercially +almost exclusively in the upper South. Farmers and +planters of the lower South had hesitantly begun +rice culture, but as the 17th century ended men +in the Carolinas still found hides and furs the most +rewarding commodities. Meanwhile, rapid changes +took place in the European metropolitan centers, +and in the West Indian islands. The growth of +population in both places created consumers for +more and cheaper food. Markets for American foods +definitely began to increase as the 18th century +got under way.</p> + +<p>Europeans, of course, primarily wanted European +foods rather than exotic Indian crops. The foods +also had to be comparatively nonperishable and +easily transported. Grains, particularly wheat, and +processed meat (hams, salt pork, and such) especially +met European preferences. Commercial production +of these commodities compelled American +farmers to embrace the best European technology +insofar as that technology fit the American scene. +The plants, animals, methods, and tools all derived +from Europe. Contrary to a common European +view at the time, the immigrants did not bring +the worst available methods to the New World. +Nor did the Americans allow any deterioration of +stock or plants without good economic reasons.</p> + +<p>Most European criticism about American farming +centered on things of no consequence to American +farmers, who were selling in a world market. True, +Americans tended toward slovenly cultivation, but +niceness of method mattered little if the land +yielded an abundant exportable surplus. Americans +paid less attention than Europeans to fertilizer, but +Americans at first had less need for it. Livestock, +in spite of nearly continual importations from +Europe, tended to decline from a European standpoint. +Still, the animals yielded meat of a quality +suitable for export. The hardy American animals +could survive in spite of casual care. Americans +had few barns and sheds, but the world market for +meat did not demand barns, stalls, and fancy feeding. +American dairy cows yielded ridiculously low +volumes of milk, butter, and cheese, but dairy +products, after all, served only the resident Americans. +The corn- and mast-fed hogs of America provided +<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_4" id="Page_4">[4]</a></span> +ham that was equal to any in Europe. If the +European consumer bought American food, the +American farmer thought it pointless to consider +the comfort and emotional well-being of his +animals.</p> + +<p>New Englanders tended to concentrate on animals, +the middle Atlantic on grains, the upper +South on tobacco, and the lower South on rice and +indigo. The Revolutionary War disrupted the marketing +from the farmer's view, but the major commercial +commodities remained largely unchanged +in the years immediately after the war. Indigo declined +and then disappeared as a major export +commodity, but cotton almost at once replaced it.</p> + +<p>In the 19th century men everywhere made great +technological advances. In America, the advances +took place in a sort of reciprocal action with three +major historical series and events dominating the +story: the westward movement, urbanization, and +industrialization.</p> + +<p>The greatest westward expansion in American +history took place during the 19th century. American +farmers and stockmen conquered, and almost +entirely settled, a continent. They did this in a +single century, 1801-1900. Nothing quite like it had +ever happened before. Starting from a thin line of +people on the eastern seaboard (with a few incursions +across the mountains as of 1800), farmers and +herders pushed into a nearly empty land, dispossessed +the Indians, and exploited the country. +And in course of time the American pioneers +wanted and received political organization. California +entered the Union in 1850, the Plains states +mostly in the 1880s, and more states, such as Arizona, +New Mexico, and Oklahoma, came into the +Union in the 20th century.</p> + +<p>At the same time, a nation that was weak and +underdeveloped in 1801, had, by 1900, become the +world's leading industrial nation. From virtually no +industry in 1801, America rose to leading industrial +power in 1900, with more railroads and more manufactured +goods per capita than any other nation. +Involved in the industrialization, and importantly +so, was the farm implement and machinery industry. +Factories everywhere supplied farmers with the +sophisticated tools and machines of the new agriculture.</p> + +<p>In these years urbanization also went forward +rapidly. Cities of the east grew fantastically, and +even in the interior cities rose from wilderness outposts +to gigantic metropolises. Within one man's +lifetime Chicago increased from 350 people in 1830 +to 1,099,000 in 1890. Simultaneously, tremendous +developments in transportation kept the nation +and its economy tied together. All of these developments +had a profound influence on farming and +farmers. The rich cities provided ever greater markets +for the farmers' produce. The transportation +system, rapidly moving farm commodities, made +farming profitable in remote regions far distant +from the coast. Farmers also felt the advantages of +the return flow of goods and services: the mail +order catalog, the industrially made reapers and +threshers, and countless other items. City people +made a countless range of devices for farmers—from +steel plows to steam engines.</p> + +<p>Meanwhile, as these events altered the life of the +farmer, a burst of activity took place in invention +and discovery. These activities had a delayed but +considerable impact on farm methods and technology. +The list of inventions and discoveries +could hardly fit in this narrative, but this catalog +of items reflects fairly well what men accomplished +in the 19th century. The changes included such +diverse elements as the invention of the cotton gin +by Eli Whitney in 1793, the introduction of Mexican +Upland cotton in 1805, the discovery of the +cause of Texas fever in cattle in 1889, and the invention +of the internal combustion tractor in 1892. +These and many other achievements substantially +changed the farm enterprise in two major directions: +first, advances in technology allowed farmers +to do more in less time; second, discoveries in +science allowed farmers to increase the yield from +the land. Farmers got more from each acre, plant, +and animal.</p> + +<p>Farmers could use the savings in time brought +by better implements and new machines to increase +the amount of land farmed and the number of animals +cared for. Presumably, the farmer could also +use the saved time for greater leisure. In fact, however, +they usually used the extra time for more +work. In the 20th century they often used the saved +time for outside employment. Farmers did this in +the 19th century, but not so commonly as later. +Greater man-hour efficiency gave the farmer more +time to devote to managing his enterprise, to keeping +records, and to studying his business.</p> + +<p>Technological efficiency also allowed farmers to +use more land and more animals. The average size +<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_5" id="Page_5">[5]</a></span> +of farms steadily increased across the century. Furthermore, +the new machines and the pure-bred +livestock cost money which could be most profitable +only if the farmer specialized in one, or at most two, +types of enterprise. So the greater efficiency created +by technology impelled farmers to greater specialization, +and with specialization came even greater +efficiency. Anyone who specializes will likely be +more efficient because of the mastering of skills. He +will also have a minimum of other cares to distract +him. Of course, for the consumers, foreign or domestic, +greater farming efficiencies resulted in +abundant food at comparatively low cost.</p> + +<p>Plant and animal importation, improvement of +breeds, and discoveries in genetics, soil chemistry, +the use of fertilizers, and in controlling plant and +animal diseases all helped the living things which +form the basis of farming yield. Grain farmers not +only had to have a wheat which yielded well but a +wheat which resisted the attacks of nature. For +example, Turkey Red wheat, introduced in 1873 +by Mennonites from Russia, not only survived +drought and yielded well but provided the genetic +elements for newer breeds of wheat. The farmer not +only wanted good-producing meat cattle, such as +the Herefords, but had to control diseases and +predators which killed the animals. Sick animals +do not grow properly or, in the case of dairy animals, +give much milk. Steady advances in disease +control for both plants and animals brought fewer +losses and greater productivity to farmers.</p> + +<p>The 19th century also brought scientific discoveries +in both plant and animal nutrition. Fertilizer +and soil chemistry made great advances through +scientific experiments, at first by farmers and later +by government servants. The first experiment station +in the modern era began in Connecticut in +1875, and in 1887 the Congress established such +stations in every state in conjunction with the agricultural +Land Grant colleges. Scientists at many +of the stations also made discoveries in animal +nutrition. For example, as a result of animal feeding +experiments E. V. McCollum discovered vitamins +A and B at the experiment station in Wisconsin +in 1915.</p> + +<p>None of these scientific advances left much residue +in the form of artifacts for museums, but the +reality of the changes should not be obscured by +the lack of objects on exhibit. Even so, some of the +related equipment survived. For example, the +centrifuge used in the butterfat test, discovered in +1890 by Stephen M. Babcock, survived in several +forms. Manure spreaders and tree sprayers, reflective +of advances in biochemistry, also survived. But +these only suggest the more important biological +control activities for which these machines and +tools served merely as agents in some way.</p> + +<p>The 20th century introduced Americans to total +war. World Wars I and II demanded the total +mobilization of all resources by all contenders. In +both conflicts America became the food reservoir of +the Allies. From a technological view, the wars +engendered a level of prosperity which both allowed +and encouraged farmers to adopt new methods and +devices. The principal technological change in +farms was the widespread adoption of the internal +combustion tractor, first used in 1892. Inventors +and manufacturers gradually but constantly improved +tractors along with the various devices attached +to them. Most notable were the corn picker, +in 1909, and the cotton picker, in 1942. (Dates are +for commercial production in each instance.) Farmers +found both machines impracticable until a power +source independent of the ground wheel had been +developed. More than anything else the tractor and +its related equipment finally set men free from the +worst drudgery of farming. It also set many farmers +free from the need to farm at all.</p> + +<p>The tractor and its equipment accomplished +several other remarkable things, some obvious and +some not so obvious. First, it allowed the farmer to +get rid of horses and mules, and these animals +steadily declined—to such an extent that in the +1960s the census did not even bother to count them. +As a result of this decline, land that farmers had +used to raise feed for animals could grow food for +people or fodder for dairy animals. The amount of +land thus released for other needs finally amounted +to perhaps 60 million acres, and maybe even more. +The change took place with increasing rapidity +into the 20th century.</p> + +<p>Also, the tractor sharply reduced labor needs for +the major crops of the United States. Even dairying, +least susceptible to this sort of improvement, +felt the impact of the tractor in such things as harvesting +fodder and storing silage by running loaders +off the tractor power-take-off. Since the very founding +of agriculture men had discovered only one way +to prosper in farming. The farmer had to exploit +somebody or something. Animals, serfs, slaves, tenants, +<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_6" id="Page_6">[6]</a></span> +sharecroppers, or whatever, including the +farmer's family and farm, had at various times been +exploited on the farmer's way to success. After the +age of machinery, however, the farmer tended to +exploit the machine instead of other people or +things. People had to leave farming, but in the +long run they benefited from their removal. The +machine had set them free. Chief of the machines +was the gasoline tractor.</p> + +<p>The influence of science and technology inside a +free society may have been even more profound +than seems at first glance. The farming of the 20th +century, with its chemicals, genetics, machines, and +all, required not only vast infusions of capital but +brains and a considerable knowledge. Farmers had +to be literate at the very least. Elitist systems, where +one group of people get educated and the others +get worked, could not accomplish much in the +modern agricultural world. Furthermore, notions +of two kinds of education—one for the better sort +who think, and another for the inferiors who do the +work—could and did seriously impede the development +of a modern agriculture. The backwardness +of most of the world, the poverty of the underdeveloped +countries, stemmed in large part from +the impediments created by an ignorant population.</p> + +<p>A country like the United States with its highly +technical and scientific farming could not afford, +simply could not endure, limited educational opportunities +for its people. Neither could it long +endure any class structure which placed farmers in +an inferior position; for when men feel inferior +because of their work they tend to shift to some +other task, leaving the despised work to those +who cannot avoid it. A highly developed agriculture +in the hands of the truly inferior, the stupid +and uneducated, would simply collapse. America, +the land of plenty, had to maintain a high level +of education open to all and a society where men +reached status, at least partly, by effort and talent. +In 20th century America the comparative social +and economic equality continued, in large part, +because the level of technology and science used in +America demanded it. This equality may be one of +the most important consequences of the technological +and scientific advances in agriculture during +the years 1607-1972.</p> + +<hr /> + +<h3><a name="Catalog_of_Agricultural_Implements" id="Catalog_of_Agricultural_Implements"></a>Catalog of Agricultural Implements and</h3> +<h3>Machines in the Collection</h3> + +<p>In the following catalog the items are listed +numerically in the order in which the museum +received them, with the earliest first and the latest +last.

Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable +effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread +public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm +collection. Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain +"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or +corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual +property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a +computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by +your equipment. + +1.F.2. LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right +of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project +Gutenberg-tm trademark, and any other party distributing a Project +Gutenberg-tm electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all +liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal +fees. YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT +LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE +PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH F3. YOU AGREE THAT THE FOUNDATION, THE +TRADEMARK OWNER, AND ANY DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT BE +LIABLE TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR +INCIDENTAL DAMAGES EVEN IF YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH +DAMAGE. + +1.F.3. LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you discover a +defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you can +receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a +written explanation to the person you received the work from. If you +received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium with +your written explanation. The person or entity that provided you with +the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in lieu of a +refund. If you received the work electronically, the person or entity +providing it to you may choose to give you a second opportunity to +receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund. If the second copy +is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing without further +opportunities to fix the problem. + +1.F.4. Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth +in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you 'AS-IS,' WITH NO OTHER +WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO +WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTIBILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE. + +1.F.5. Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied +warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages. +If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the +law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be +interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or limitation permitted by +the applicable state law.

Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm + +Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of +electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers +including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists +because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from +people in all walks of life. + +Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the +assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's +goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will +remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure +and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations. +To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation +and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 +and the Foundation web page at http://www.gutenberg.org/fundraising/pglaf. + + +Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive +Foundation + +The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit +501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the +state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal +Revenue Service. The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification +number is 64-6221541. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent +permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state's laws. + +The Foundation's principal office is located at 4557 Melan Dr. S. +Fairbanks, AK, 99712., but its volunteers and employees are scattered +throughout numerous locations. Its business office is located at +809 North 1500 West, Salt Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887, email +business@pglaf.org. Email contact links and up to date contact +information can be found at the Foundation's web site and official +page at http://www.gutenberg.org/about/contact + +For additional contact information: + Dr. Gregory B. Newby + Chief Executive and Director + gbnewby@pglaf.org + +Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit http://www.gutenberg.org/fundraising/pglaf + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. +To donate, please visit: http://www.gutenberg.org/fundraising/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + +Each eBook is in a subdirectory of the same number as the eBook's +eBook number, often in several formats including plain vanilla ASCII, +compressed (zipped), HTML and others. + +Corrected EDITIONS of our eBooks replace the old file and take over +the old filename and etext number. The replaced older file is renamed. +VERSIONS based on separate sources are treated as new eBooks receiving +new filenames and etext numbers. + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + +<a href="http://www.gutenberg.org">http://www.gutenberg.org</a> + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. + +EBooks posted prior to November 2003, with eBook numbers BELOW #10000, +are filed in directories based on their release date. If you want to +download any of these eBooks directly, rather than using the regular +search system you may utilize the following addresses and just +download by the etext year. + +<a href="http://www.gutenberg.org/dirs/etext06/">http://www.gutenberg.org/dirs/etext06/</a> + + (Or /etext 05, 04, 03, 02, 01, 00, 99, + 98, 97, 96, 95, 94, 93, 92, 92, 91 or 90) + +EBooks posted since November 2003, with etext numbers OVER #10000, are +filed in a different way. The year of a release date is no longer part +of the directory path. The path is based on the etext number (which is +identical to the filename). The path to the file is made up of single +digits corresponding to all but the last digit in the filename. For +example an eBook of filename 10234 would be found at: + +http://www.gutenberg.org/dirs/1/0/2/3/10234 + +or filename 24689 would be found at: +http://www.gutenberg.org/dirs/2/4/6/8/24689 + +An

In his +formal plan for the Institution, Joseph Henry articulated a program that +included the following statement: "It is proposed to publish a series of +reports, giving an account of the new discoveries in science, and of the +changes made from year to year in all branches of knowledge." This +keynote of basic research has been adhered to over the years in the +issuance of thousands of titles in serial publications under the +Smithsonian imprint, commencing with Smithsonian Contributions to +Knowledge in 1848 and continuing with the following active series: + + Smithsonian Annals of Flight + Smithsonian Contributions to Anthropology + Smithsonian Contributions to Astrophysics + Smithsonian Contributions to Botany + Smithsonian Contributions to the Earth Sciences + Smithsonian Contributions to Paleobiology + Smithsonian Contributions to Zoology + Smithsonian Studies in History and Technology + +In these series, the Institution publishes original articles and +monographs dealing with the research and collections of its several +museums and offices and of professional colleagues at other institutions +of learning. These papers report newly acquired facts, synoptic +interpretations of data, or original theory in specialized fields.

Schlebecker is curator in charge, Division of +Agriculture and Mining, Museum of History and Technology, Smithsonian +Institution. + + +Introduction + +The art and science of agriculture embrace most intentional human +efforts to control biological activity so as to produce plants and +animals of the sort wanted, when wanted. Rubber plantations, cattle +ranches, vegetable gardens, dairy farms, tree farms, and a host of +similar enterprises all represent human efforts to compel nature to +serve man. Those who undertake agriculture have had, from time +immemorial, a variety of names, not all of them complimentary. The +people involved in attempted biological control have been called +farmers, planters, ranchers, and peasants. Farmers carry on a +complicated business in which they use a variety of tools, implements, +and machines. They also employ land, chemicals, water, plants, and +animals. Their business, however, focuses on living things. No matter +how crude their attempts, or how uncertain their successes, those who +try to grow living things rank as agriculturalists.[1] + +[Footnote 1: Of course, the definition excludes brewers, distillers, +biological supply houses, and others, such as zoo curators, who manage +living things. Agriculture takes place on a piece of land widely and +commonly known as a farm.] + +For the most part, a museum cannot show the essential biological aspects +of agriculture. Agricultural production involves the farmer in the +course of nature in its seasons, and in the peculiar laws of living +things. In these respects, agriculture stands rather apart from +transportation, manufacturing, and artistic industries where the tools, +machines, and raw materials remain fairly inert as men work on them. +Machines move but do not live, and therein lies the major difference +between agriculture and the other arts. Farmers deal with plants and +animals but the museum can show only the things a farmer uses as he +accommodates to and regulates nature. Some of the objects, in +themselves, give a fair idea of how the farmer used them. Most people, +after all, know about edged blades and digging tools. Nearly anyone can +grasp what a man might do with a scythe or a plow. Even the working of a +modern reaper needs only a little explanation. But museums cannot well +show cross-breeding of plants and animals. Museums seldom can show the +results of that cross-breeding. Bags of fertilizer can be put on +display, as can vials of penicillin, and jars of herbicide. Although +some may find these interesting, such items show little in and of +themselves. + +Unfortunately, the things that cannot be shown in any easily +intelligible way surpass in importance the items that can be shown. The +sheep shears, which anyone can understand, represent less to the farmer +than do the sheep. Sheep shears, no matter how sophisticated and no +matter how necessary, do not explain sheep husbandry. The shears tell +little about the wool industry, and nothing much about sheep breeds. And +so on through the list of agricultural enterprises. + +Museums must collect and exhibit the tools, implements, and machines +which farmers use in their business. These items, however, seldom make +up the core of real agricultural activity. The catalog here presented +shows something of the range of items that farmers use and that can be +preserved and shown. The variety nearly equals the volume. Most museums +try to avoid duplication. Even so, few museums manage to collect a +continuous series of things showing any one line of development. The +discontinuity of farm objects on hand virtually rules out the telling of +a coherent and complete history of agriculture. Nevertheless, the museum +can show something about the major technological developments in +agriculture. The evolution of the plow, the reaper, or the tractor can +be suggested even if not fully illustrated. Hitting the highlights has +to suffice. + +The full history of technological change also involves several social +and economic conditions. + +First, changes in implements, tools, and methods result from the +accumulation of knowledge. Device builds upon device: first came the +wheel, and then, much later, the tractor. + +Secondly, the potential user of the device must feel a need for it. The +new method or device not only must save him work but must clearly +increase his well-being. If any device or change merely increases the +wealth of someone else (a tax collector or a landlord for example), the +farmer seldom will adopt the new technology. + +Thirdly, since, at first, the new technology almost invariably costs +more than the old, the user must have or be able to get the capital to +buy and use the newer devices and methods. + +Of these conditions for technological change, only the cumulative nature +of the knowledge can be shown by the objects. Even here, however, +missing objects make it possible to present only the most obvious +changes, and then not all of them. Still, seeing the things once +used--no matter how crude or how few--can sometimes help us understand +the way changes took place. Also, this knowledge sometimes can help us +guess how other changes will take place: + + The sequence of inventions also depends upon the changing needs of + a society. Needs and circumstances vary more than do degrees of + talent. Thus when need and knowledge merge, inventors quickly + appear. Indeed, several men in several places are likely to work on + the same problems at the same time, and they often solve it in + almost identical fashion. Nearly simultaneous inventions or + discoveries occur with astonishing frequency in the history of + technology.[2] + +[Footnote 2: "The Combine Made in Stockton," Pacific Historian, no. 10 +(Autumn, 1966), p. 14.] + + +The Use of Farm Machinery in America + +The part of America that was destined to become the United States +started its history at the very time when the parent European +civilization began to make major breakthroughs in science and +technology. Thus, Americans became the automatic beneficiaries of the +achievements of others. Because of peculiar opportunities and needs, +Americans could and did push on to unique achievements. Nowhere, +however, did this building on the past appear as early, or as +impressively, as in the agricultural sector of the economy. American +inventors of farm implements made important strides earlier than those +in any other field. In turn, American farmers made more and better use +of discoveries and inventions. + +From the 1650s onward Europeans expanded their activities in all fields +and in all directions. By that time Europeans had already discovered the +New World, and had seized or bullied most of the Old. European trade and +industry increased, and as these grew so also did population and +urbanization. People multiplied, and an increasingly greater proportion +of them began to live in towns and cities. Simultaneously, the Europeans +increased in wealth; indeed, most of their activities created more +wealth. The ever-increasing number of people called for more food, and +for changes in European farming. The Europeans' growing wealth also +allowed them to buy luxury items from around the world: silk and spice +and everything nice. The goods came not only from the Far East and +Africa but also from the New World. When Europeans began to settle +America, they almost at once had the advantages of a large and growing +metropolitan market in western Europe. This market provided +opportunities for wealth, but only if the American farmers developed +appropriate commodities and produced them at reasonable prices. + +The English, Dutch, Swedes, French, and Spanish settled in North America +at trading and exploring stations. So located, they could direct the +flow of products to Europe. The English chiefly sought rare products +such as gold and spices, and they sent back furs. The Dutch concentrated +on furs. All European pioneers, however, had to feed themselves. This +took a bit of doing, which at first involved a merging of European +technology with Indian crops and methods. Later, the settlers adapted +European crops and animals. In spite of starving times in almost every +colony from Virginia to New England, the new Americans at least mastered +the art of feeding themselves. + +European technology used animals for draft and employed plows, harrows, +and similar implements. This technology fit European crops better than +it fit American crops. Thus, European implements and draft animals did +not appear until comparatively late. As long as they depended chiefly on +Indian crops, Europeans simply substituted iron hoes for stone hoes, and +iron axes for stone axes. But methods such as girdling, slash and burn, +and the rest, came almost directly from Indian technology. The Pilgrims +of Plymouth Plantation went 12 years without a plow; Virginians went +almost as long. The hoe of corn culture served well enough to keep men +alive. Hunting and fishing, of course, supplemented the food supply, as +it did for the Indians. + +From north to south the story was largely the same in the 17th century. +Everywhere the new Americans pursued a subsistence agriculture which +supported some other major economic activity. Pennsylvania developed +possibly the most flourishing subsistence farming. The commercial +production of tobacco, an American crop with American methods and uses, +began early in Virginia and Maryland. This specialty developed +commercially almost exclusively in the upper South. Farmers and planters +of the lower South had hesitantly begun rice culture, but as the 17th +century ended men in the Carolinas still found hides and furs the most +rewarding commodities. Meanwhile, rapid changes took place in the +European metropolitan centers, and in the West Indian islands. The +growth of population in both places created consumers for more and +cheaper food. Markets for American foods definitely began to increase as +the 18th century got under way. + +Europeans, of course, primarily wanted European foods rather than exotic +Indian crops. The foods also had to be comparatively nonperishable and +easily transported. Grains, particularly wheat, and processed meat +(hams, salt pork, and such) especially met European preferences. +Commercial production of these commodities compelled American farmers to +embrace the best European technology insofar as that technology fit the +American scene. The plants, animals, methods, and tools all derived from +Europe. Contrary to a common European view at the time, the immigrants +did not bring the worst available methods to the New World. Nor did the +Americans allow any deterioration of stock or plants without good +economic reasons. + +Most European criticism about American farming centered on things of no +consequence to American farmers, who were selling in a world market. +True, Americans tended toward slovenly cultivation, but niceness of +method mattered little if the land yielded an abundant exportable +surplus. Americans paid less attention than Europeans to fertilizer, but +Americans at first had less need for it. Livestock, in spite of nearly +continual importations from Europe, tended to decline from a European +standpoint. Still, the animals yielded meat of a quality suitable for +export. The hardy American animals could survive in spite of casual +care. Americans had few barns and sheds, but the world market for meat +did not demand barns, stalls, and fancy feeding. American dairy cows +yielded ridiculously low volumes of milk, butter, and cheese, but dairy +products, after all, served only the resident Americans. The corn- and +mast-fed hogs of America provided ham that was equal to any in Europe. +If the European consumer bought American food, the American farmer +thought it pointless to consider the comfort and emotional well-being of +his animals. + +New Englanders tended to concentrate on animals, the middle Atlantic on +grains, the upper South on tobacco, and the lower South on rice and +indigo. The Revolutionary War disrupted the marketing from the farmer's +view, but the major commercial commodities remained largely unchanged in +the years immediately after the war. Indigo declined and then +disappeared as a major export commodity, but cotton almost at once +replaced it. + +In the 19th century men everywhere made great technological advances. In +America, the advances took place in a sort of reciprocal action with +three major historical series and events dominating the story: the +westward movement, urbanization, and industrialization. + +The greatest westward expansion in American history took place during +the 19th century. American farmers and stockmen conquered, and almost +entirely settled, a continent. They did this in a single century, +1801-1900. Nothing quite like it had ever happened before. Starting from +a thin line of people on the eastern seaboard (with a few incursions +across the mountains as of 1800), farmers and herders pushed into a +nearly empty land, dispossessed the Indians, and exploited the country. +And in course of time the American pioneers wanted and received +political organization. California entered the Union in 1850, the Plains +states mostly in the 1880s, and more states, such as Arizona, New +Mexico, and Oklahoma, came into the Union in the 20th century. + +At the same time, a nation that was weak and underdeveloped in 1801, +had, by 1900, become the world's leading industrial nation. From +virtually no industry in 1801, America rose to leading industrial power +in 1900, with more railroads and more manufactured goods per capita than +any other nation. Involved in the industrialization, and importantly so, +was the farm implement and machinery industry. Factories everywhere +supplied farmers with the sophisticated tools and machines of the new +agriculture. + +In these years urbanization also went forward rapidly. Cities of the +east grew fantastically, and even in the interior cities rose from +wilderness outposts to gigantic metropolises. Within one man's lifetime +Chicago increased from 350 people in 1830 to 1,099,000 in 1890. +Simultaneously, tremendous developments in transportation kept the +nation and its economy tied together. All of these developments had a +profound influence on farming and farmers. The rich cities provided ever +greater markets for the farmers' produce. The transportation system, +rapidly moving farm commodities, made farming profitable in remote +regions far distant from the coast. Farmers also felt the advantages of +the return flow of goods and services: the mail order catalog, the +industrially made reapers and threshers, and countless other items. City +people made a countless range of devices for farmers--from steel plows +to steam engines. + +Meanwhile, as these events altered the life of the farmer, a burst of +activity took place in invention and discovery. These activities had a +delayed but considerable impact on farm methods and technology. The list +of inventions and discoveries could hardly fit in this narrative, but +this catalog of items reflects fairly well what men accomplished in the +19th century. The changes included such diverse elements as the +invention of the cotton gin by Eli Whitney in 1793, the introduction of +Mexican Upland cotton in 1805, the discovery of the cause of Texas fever +in cattle in 1889, and the invention of the internal combustion tractor +in 1892. These and many other achievements substantially changed the +farm enterprise in two major directions: first, advances in technology +allowed farmers to do more in less time; second, discoveries in science +allowed farmers to increase the yield from the land. Farmers got more +from each acre, plant, and animal. + +Farmers could use the savings in time brought by better implements and +new machines to increase the amount of land farmed and the number of +animals cared for. Presumably, the farmer could also use the saved time +for greater leisure. In fact, however, they usually used the extra time +for more work. In the 20th century they often used the saved time for +outside employment. Farmers did this in the 19th century, but not so +commonly as later. Greater man-hour efficiency gave the farmer more time +to devote to managing his enterprise, to keeping records, and to +studying his business. + +Technological efficiency also allowed farmers to use more land and more +animals. The average size of farms steadily increased across the +century. Furthermore, the new machines and the pure-bred livestock cost +money which could be most profitable only if the farmer specialized in +one, or at most two, types of enterprise. So the greater efficiency +created by technology impelled farmers to greater specialization, and +with specialization came even greater efficiency. Anyone who specializes +will likely be more efficient because of the mastering of skills. He +will also have a minimum of other cares to distract him. Of course, for +the consumers, foreign or domestic, greater farming efficiencies +resulted in abundant food at comparatively low cost. + +Plant and animal importation, improvement of breeds, and discoveries in +genetics, soil chemistry, the use of fertilizers, and in controlling +plant and animal diseases all helped the living things which form the +basis of farming yield. Grain farmers not only had to have a wheat which +yielded well but a wheat which resisted the attacks of nature. For +example, Turkey Red wheat, introduced in 1873 by Mennonites from Russia, +not only survived drought and yielded well but provided the genetic +elements for newer breeds of wheat. The farmer not only wanted +good-producing meat cattle, such as the Herefords, but had to control +diseases and predators which killed the animals. Sick animals do not +grow properly or, in the case of dairy animals, give much milk. Steady +advances in disease control for both plants and animals brought fewer +losses and greater productivity to farmers. + +The 19th century also brought scientific discoveries in both plant and +animal nutrition. Fertilizer and soil chemistry made great advances +through scientific experiments, at first by farmers and later by +government servants. The first experiment station in the modern era +began in Connecticut in 1875, and in 1887 the Congress established such +stations in every state in conjunction with the agricultural Land Grant +colleges. Scientists at many of the stations also made discoveries in +animal nutrition. For example, as a result of animal feeding experiments +E. V. McCollum discovered vitamins A and B at the experiment station in +Wisconsin in 1915. + +None of these scientific advances left much residue in the form of +artifacts for museums, but the reality of the changes should not be +obscured by the lack of objects on exhibit. Even so, some of the related +equipment survived. For example, the centrifuge used in the butterfat +test, discovered in 1890 by Stephen M. Babcock, survived in several +forms. Manure spreaders and tree sprayers, reflective of advances in +biochemistry, also survived. But these only suggest the more important +biological control activities for which these machines and tools served +merely as agents in some way. + +The 20th century introduced Americans to total war. World Wars I and II +demanded the total mobilization of all resources by all contenders. In +both conflicts America became the food reservoir of the Allies. From a +technological view, the wars engendered a level of prosperity which both +allowed and encouraged farmers to adopt new methods and devices. The +principal technological change in farms was the widespread adoption of +the internal combustion tractor, first used in 1892. Inventors and +manufacturers gradually but constantly improved tractors along with the +various devices attached to them. Most notable were the corn picker, in +1909, and the cotton picker, in 1942. (Dates are for commercial +production in each instance.) Farmers found both machines impracticable +until a power source independent of the ground wheel had been developed. +More than anything else the tractor and its related equipment finally +set men free from the worst drudgery of farming. It also set many +farmers free from the need to farm at all. + +The tractor and its equipment accomplished several other remarkable +things, some obvious and some not so obvious. First, it allowed the +farmer to get rid of horses and mules, and these animals steadily +declined--to such an extent that in the 1960s the census did not even +bother to count them. As a result of this decline, land that farmers had +used to raise feed for animals could grow food for people or fodder for +dairy animals. The amount of land thus released for other needs finally +amounted to perhaps 60 million acres, and maybe even more. The change +took place with increasing rapidity into the 20th century. + +Also, the tractor sharply reduced labor needs for the major crops of the +United States. Even dairying, least susceptible to this sort of +improvement, felt the impact of the tractor in such things as harvesting +fodder and storing silage by running loaders off the tractor +power-take-off. Since the very founding of agriculture men had +discovered only one way to prosper in farming. The farmer had to exploit +somebody or something. Animals, serfs, slaves, tenants, sharecroppers, +or whatever, including the farmer's family and farm, had at various +times been exploited on the farmer's way to success. After the age of +machinery, however, the farmer tended to exploit the machine instead of +other people or things. People had to leave farming, but in the long run +they benefited from their removal. The machine had set them free. Chief +of the machines was the gasoline tractor. + +The influence of science and technology inside a free society may have +been even more profound than seems at first glance. The farming of the +20th century, with its chemicals, genetics, machines, and all, required +not only vast infusions of capital but brains and a considerable +knowledge. Farmers had to be literate at the very least. Elitist +systems, where one group of people get educated and the others get +worked, could not accomplish much in the modern agricultural world. +Furthermore, notions of two kinds of education--one for the better sort +who think, and another for the inferiors who do the work--could and did +seriously impede the development of a modern agriculture. The +backwardness of most of the world, the poverty of the underdeveloped +countries, stemmed in large part from the impediments created by an +ignorant population. + +A country like the United States with its highly technical and +scientific farming could not afford, simply could not endure, limited +educational opportunities for its people. Neither could it long endure +any class structure which placed farmers in an inferior position; for +when men feel inferior because of their work they tend to shift to some +other task, leaving the despised work to those who cannot avoid it. A +highly developed agriculture in the hands of the truly inferior, the +stupid and uneducated, would simply collapse. America, the land of +plenty, had to maintain a high level of education open to all and a +society where men reached status, at least partly, by effort and talent. +In 20th century America the comparative social and economic equality +continued, in large part, because the level of technology and science +used in America demanded it. This equality may be one of the most +important consequences of the technological and scientific advances in +agriculture during the years 1607-1972. + + +Catalog of Agricultural Implements and Machines in the Collection + +In the following catalog the items are listed numerically in the order +in which the museum received them, with the earliest first and the +latest last.

The blade style suggests a comparatively sophisticated +stage of development, most surely after 1833. David Cromer of Seneca +County, Ohio, used this sickle bar on a McCormick reaper. The blade is 5 +feet long and 5 inches deep. Gift of Frank Hepp, Berwick, Ohio. + +[Illustration: Figure 3.--Gail Borden's vacuum pan of 1853, used to make +condensed milk. (Catalog No. 26.)] + +26. Borden Vacuum Pan, 1853. USNM 119188; 1932. The original vacuum pan +used by Gail Borden in 1853 for condensing milk by concentrating it in a +vacuum. He patented the process on August 19, 1856. Borden borrowed this +pan from nearby Shaker farmers who had used it for canning. Borden did +his early work at New Lebanon, New York. Borden at first failed to get a +patent because the process was not deemed useful. There is nothing +exceptional about this pan except that Borden used it. Gift of Borden +Milk Company, New York, New York. + +27. Model of McCormick Reaper, 1834. USNM 121105; 1932. Scale model of +the grain reaper patented by Cyrus McCormick on June 21, 1834.

Cooley +brand creamer, used for separating milk from cream prior to churning. +The milk and cream were set in a cool place for several hours while the +cream rose to the top. The farmer drew skim milk off through a spigot at +the bottom, after which the cream could be drawn off. Used on farms +before the hand centrifugal separator came into wide use. By 1890, in +butter-producing areas, the centrifugal separator had already caused the +disuse of the Cooley and similar separators. Gift of Sidney S. Stabler, +Washington, D. C. + +34. Wooden Hayfork, about 1879. USNM 137459; 1936. Hayfork of +second-growth white oak, made by John Heiss, Lima Township, Lagrange +County, Indiana. It was used for feeding stock and for handling clover +and short straw of all kinds. Gift of E. W. Heiss, Washington, D. C. + +35. Wooden Measure, 1845 or earlier. USNM 137960; 1936. Small, round +wooden measure used in 1845 by William Heiss, Lagrange County, Indiana, +to feed small grain or mill feed to livestock. William Heiss was a +grandfather of the donor, E. W.

All wood +except for a duckbill furrow opener in front and two duckbill row +coverers in the rear, both made of metal. The drum of soft wood measures +20 inches in diameter and 13 inches wide. About the center of the drum +is a wooden, metal-rimmed wheel which ran down the furrow, keeping the +seeder on course. Near the wheel, and all around the drum, are 13 evenly +spaced holes through which the cotton seeds fell into the furrow as the +drum revolved. No counting or tripping mechanism was involved, so the +device undoubtedly wasted seed. A mule or a horse pulled the planter and +the farmer walked behind it. James Nelson of Greenwood, South Carolina, +made this planter about 1895. Gift of Ruben F. Vaughn, Honea Path, South +Carolina. + +38. Cast-Iron Plow, 1854. USNM 150396; 1938. A cast-iron plow made by +Stephen McCormick of Fauquier County, Virginia, in 1854. The plow +embodies features covered by patents issued to Stephen McCormick on +February 3, 1819, January 28, 1826, and December 1, 1837. Plows of this +type, made chiefly between 1826 and 1850, involved interchangeable +parts. The first patent precedes that of Jethro Wood by seven months, +but the principle of interchangeable parts had been worked out and +patented as early as 1813. Gift of Leander McCormick-Goodhart, Silver +Spring, Md. + +39. Mehring's Milking Machine, 1884. USNM 148530; 1938. Original working +model of a hand-powered milking machine built by William M. Mehring in +1884. Mehring subsequently improved and patented the machine in 1892. +The improved machine did not work well because it created continuous +suction for the length of the stroke. The successful application of +intermittent suction, necessary so as not to injure the cow, was worked +out in Scotland in 1902. Gift of Mrs. Bessie D. Mehring, Keymar, +Maryland. + +40. Hand-Powered Milking Machine, 1892. USNM 148530; 1938. Practical +hand-pump milking machine designed and built in 1892 by William M. +Mehring, who was granted patent 488282 on December 28, 1892. This +milker, which injured cows when used rapidly, represents an effort to +solve the problem of machine milking, although the use of human power +also limited its usefulness. Gift of Mrs. Bessie D. Mehring, Keymar, +Maryland. + +41. Ox Yoke, 1838. USNM 148675; 1938. Edward Scoville (1813-1887) used +this ox yoke when driving an ox cart from Trumbull County, Ohio, to De +Kalb County, Indiana, in 1838. Until well after the Civil War, oxen +pulled most of the wagons going west, and this yoke is typical of all +used in the westward migration, in the North as well as in the South. +Gift of Reign Scoville, Poplar Bluff, Missouri. + +[Illustration: Figure 5.--John Deere plow, one of the three plows made +by Deere in 1838. (Catalog No. 42.)] + +42. Deere Plow, 1838. USNM 148904; 1938. John Deere made this plow, with +steel share and polished wrought-iron moldboard, at Grand Detour, +Illinois, in 1838. Joseph Brierton bought it and used it on his farm, +and the Deere Company obtained it in 1901. It is one of three plows made +by John Deere in 1838, and presumably it is identical to his first steel +share plow, made in 1837 at Grand Detour. Called the singing plow, it +proved especially effective in prairie country after the sod had been +broken because the earth did not adhere to the share and moldboard. The +implement could also be used as a breaking plow. Gift of Deere and +Company, Moline, Illinois. + +43. Model of Sulky Plow, 1899. USNM 156653; 1940. Working model of the +Hy-Lift sulky plow invented by Niels O. Starks of Madison, Wisconsin, +and made by the Fuller and Johnson Company around 1900. Starks received +patent 616984 on January 3, 1899. The land wheel on this plow +automatically raises and lowers the plow at the end of a furrow. Gift of +S. O. Strucksberg, St. Joseph, Missouri. + +44. Barbed Ribbon Wire, 1879. USNM 159858; 1941. Specimen of barbed wire +made with saw teeth cut out of twisted ribbon wire. Gift of B. F. +Arthur, Winchester, Virginia. + +45. Chinese Plow, date unknown. USNM 161555; 1941. This primitive, +one-handled plow has an iron hook on the end of the beam. Apparently it +had an iron shoe for a share, which is now missing. This style of plow +is typical of the kind used in rice-growing sections of China. Gift of +United States Department of Agriculture. + +46. Carey Plow, about 1820. USNM 161555; 1941. The share and landside of +this small cultivating plow are in one piece of wrought iron with +sockets for the left handle and the standard bar share. It has a flat +wooden moldboard. Used in Northumberland County, Virginia, until 1855 or +1860, for cultivating corn and other row crops. Gift of United States +Department of Agriculture. + +47. Plow, about 1790. USNM 161555; 1941. Only the share, colter, and +beam of this plow are original, the rest having been reconstructed. The +original parts came from Northumberland County, Virginia. Gift of Edwin +Brown, Brown's Store, Virginia. + +48. Old Colony Strong Plow, 1740. USNM 161555; 1941. The moldboard of +this plow is made of wood and covered with thick pieces of iron. The +plow has a lock colter and wrought-iron share fitted on the end of a +wooden beam. Pelatiah Kinsman of Ipswich, Massachusetts, had the plow +made in 1740. It represents the New England open-drawn plows of that +time. Gift of United States Department of Agriculture. + +49. Old Colony Plow, 1783. USNM 161555; 1941. This plow resembles the +Old Colony Strong Plow (No. 48) but it is not as large and the moldboard +is covered with uniform, narrow iron straps. Farmers used this plow for +cross-plowing after initial breaking by the Strong Plow and for +cultivating. It probably was drawn by oxen. John Foster, a corporal in +the Revolutionary Army, had this implement made at Ipswich, +Massachusetts, in 1783. Gift of United States Department of Agriculture. + +50. Tavenner Plow, between 1810 and 1860. USNM 161555; 1941. The +Tavenner plow has a cast-iron moldboard and a wrought-iron share and +colter. Plows of this type were made and used widely in Loudon County, +Virginia. Gift of United States Department of Agriculture. + +51. Smith Plow, about 1800. USNM 161555; 1941. This sod-turning plow has +its landside, moldboard, and colter in separate pieces. It was built on +the lines of a plow patented by Robert Smith in 1800. Gift of United +States Department of Agriculture. + +52. Gideon Davis Plow, about 1825. USNM 161555; 1941. Gideon Davis +received a patent in 1825 for his improvements of the Newbold plow +patented in 1797. In tests in 1825 to determine the efficiency of +different plows, the Davis plow took first place in a competition with +five others. Gift of United States Department of Agriculture. + +53. Woodcock Plow, about 1848. USNM 161555; 1941. The Woodcock plow has +separate landside, moldboard, share, cutter, and point. This plow has +the first reversible point. Woodcock plows were first used in 1847, in +Maryland. Gift of United States Department of Agriculture. + +[Illustration: Figure 6.--Eagle plow, about 1849. (Catalog No. 54.)] + +54. Eagle Plow, 1849. USNM 161555; 1941. The Number 25 Eagle Plow, which +first appeared in the catalog of the J. Nourse Company in 1849, became +the standard plow of New England after the middle of the 19th century. +Its moldboard was based on a design worked out by Thomas Jefferson. Gift +of United States Department of Agriculture. + +55. Mexican Plow, about 1890. USNM 161555; 1941. This Mexican bull +tongue plow has an iron shoe on the point and it closely resembles +Spanish plows of the 16th century. It was intended to be pulled by an ox +and to break the soil for only three or four inches at the most. Gift +of United States Department of Agriculture. + +56. Butcher's Saw, 1879. USNM 130572; 1942. This saw is part of a set of +butcher's tools (Nos. 56-67) presented to William H. Hoover by the +Washington Light Infantry Corps in 1879. All the tools have a silver +presentation plate on the handle and have nickel plating. A. Nittinger, +Jr., of Philadelphia, made the set. Gift of N. Auth Provision Company, +Washington, D. C. + +57.

A machine +used in determining the amount of butterfat in milk or cream. The +Vermont Farm Machine Company of Bellows Falls, Vermont, made the +centrifuge, which mixed sulphuric acid with the milk in order to +produce a reading of the amount of butterfat tested. The Brighton Farm +at Patuxent River, Montgomery County, Maryland, used this machine around +1895. Stephen M. Babcock developed this tester in 1890 and released it +to the public, without patent, in 1891. The device had far-reaching +effects in the dairy industry, because for the first time it allowed +accurate payment to farmers for the actual amount of butterfat in their +milk; also, it allowed farmers to test their cows to discover which ones +produced the most butterfat. Gift of Sidney S. Stabler, Hyattsville, +Maryland. + +69. Buggy Rake, 1840. USNM 175393; 1947. The buggy rake harvested grain +after it had been cut with a cradle. The rake has handles and a wheel, +like a wheelbarrow, with long wooden tines in front to scoop up the +grain. When the binder stepped on a bar at the back of the buggy the +tines would move up and allow the grain to slide back against the +uprights in a convenient position for binding. Although it undoubtedly +reduced the physical labor of binding, this rake would not have been +very efficient and would have allowed the reaper to get far ahead of +the binder. Gift of F. B. Day, Owosso, Michigan. + +70. Model of Plow, about 1885. USNM 179841; 1949. The model has a share, +standard, and moldboard of metal with a gauge wheel on the beam. The +beam pivots on the standard, allowing adjustments of the angle of draft. +The end of the beam is fastened to a brace which extends to the back of +the moldboard. The share and point are in one piece; and the moldboard +is one piece. The model resembles the plows of James Oliver, which by +1885 had been widely known and were quite possibly copied. Donor +unknown. + +71. Diorama of Tropical Banana Plantation, late 19th century. USNM +186623; 1950. The diorama shows bananas being harvested and trees being +cut. The banana bunches get to the railroad cars on burros. At the +bottom, bananas are shown in various stages of growth and ripening. Gift +of United Fruit Company, Washington, D. C. + +72. Diorama of Tropical Coffee Plantation, late 19th century. USNM +186553; 1950. The diorama shows coffee berries being dried in the sun +and in the shade in preparation for marketing the coffee.

Food-Slicing Machine, mid 19th century. USNM 188878; 1950. Cutting +knives, set in helix in a wooden axle, move the meat through the box, +cutting it finer and finer. Gift of George Murphy, Washington, D. C. + +74. Fanning Mill, about 1860. USNM 192872; 1951. A hand-crank operated +the winnowing mill for separating grain from chaff and beans from hulls. +A four-blade, wooden fan, shaped like a paddle wheel, blows a draft +below oscillating screens. The chaff is blown off from the threshed +grain, and the grain or beans fall from the screens into the path of the +draft. The screens catch any straw left after threshing. Gift of Arden +Wilson, Harrisville, West Virginia. + +[Illustration: Figure 8.--Two-row corn planter, about 1854. (Catalog No. +75.)] + +75. Two-Row Corn Planter, about 1854. USNM 193259; 1952. This +hand-operated planter, of a type patented by S. Malone on January 3, +1854, was sold by William M. Plant, a dealer in seeds, tools, and +machines at St. Louis, Missouri. When the planter was dropped to the +ground, the two handles moved about 8 inches in a slot toward the +outside. This movement opened a space for the corn to drop into the +shoe, where a small piece of wood opened and the corn fell to the +ground. Gift of Warren Hammond, Fayette, Missouri. + +76. Model of Ferguson Tractor, 1952. USNM 193939; 1952. This plastic and +metal model of a Ferguson tractor operates a Ferguson hitch. Gift of +Topping Models, Inc., Akron, Ohio. + +77.

USNM 193940; 1952. This hand-forged steel spade +has a bit with three tines. This style spade was invented around 1895 +and was widely used for digging trenches for drain tiles on sticky or +mucky soil. The Osmundson Forge Company of Webster City, Iowa, made +these spades as late as 1952. Gift of A. G. Osmundson, Webster City, +Iowa. + +82. Glass Churn, about 1900. USNM 193941; 1952. This German-made churn, +of 4-liter capacity, has a hand crank which drives a metal propeller at +the bottom in one direction while paddles on the shaft turn in the other +direction. Gift of A. G. Osmundson, Webster City, Iowa. + +83. Cedar Sap Spouts, about 1800. USNM 194893; 1952. Sap spouts, made +of cedar, about 15 inches long. Spouts like these were made and used by +settlers of upper New York about 1800 to gather the maple sap after the +trees had been tapped. Gift of Frank E. Olmstead, Potsdam, New York. + +84. Cedar Sap Spouts, about 1800. USNM 194893; 1952. Sap spouts for +maple tree tapping, about 15 inches long and made of cedar. The maple +syrup and sugar industry provided some income for frontier farms, as +well as providing sugar for domestic use. Although maple syrup often +sold at high prices, the industry never achieved major importance even +in the localities where it flourished. These spouts are of the sort used +in the pioneer period in New York. (See also Nos. 83, 85-87.) Gift of +Frank E. Olmstead, Potsdam, New York. + +85. Iron Sap Spout, possibly late 19th century. USNM 194893; 1952. A +cast-iron maple sap spout, about 3 inches long, used for gathering the +sap into buckets. Possibly factory-made and used later than the frontier +period, after maple syrup manufacture had become a commercial +enterprise. The leading areas for maple syrup have long been Ohio, New +York, Vermont, and New Hampshire. Gift of Frank E. Olmstead, Potsdam, +New York. + +86. Iron Sap Spout, possibly late 19th century. USNM 194893; 1952. A +thin, metal trough, plated, and about 3 inches long, used to convey +maple sap from the tap in the tree to the sap bucket. This is the type +spout most commonly used today in those areas where farmers supplement +their income with maple syrup production. Gift of Frank E. Olmstead, +Potsdam, New York. + +87. Sap Bucket Spikes, possibly late 19th century. USNM 194893; 1952. +Hand-made iron spikes used to hold buckets for maple tree sap. They had +to be hooked somewhat so the bucket could hang on them well. Gift of +Frank E. Olmstead, Potsdam, New York. + +88. Diagram of Jefferson Moldboard, 1798. USNM 198605; 1953. A +three-dimensional wire diagram, at half scale, illustrating Thomas +Jefferson's design of a plow mold-board as he described it in a letter +to Sir John Sinclair in 1798. In the same year Jefferson read a paper to +the American Philosophical Society that was titled "Description of a +Mold-Board of the Least Resistance and of the Easiest and Most Certain +Design." The wire diagram was constructed by the Division of Crafts and +Industries, Smithsonian Institution. + +89. Model of Jefferson Moldboard, 1798. USNM 198605; 1953. The model +consists of four separate blocks of wood cut to show the progressive +steps in the construction of the Jefferson moldboard: (1) the block of +wood marked for sawing with the rear section cut out, and in two parts; +(2) the block of wood sawed on two diagonals, with the rear section cut +out, and in three parts; (3) the block of wood sawed transversely on +guide lines down to the diagonals, with the wood between the transverse +cuts removed and leaving the face of the moldboard roughly shaped; (4) +the rear surface of the board produced in the same manner as the front, +resulting in a completed moldboard. The models were constructed by the +Division of Crafts and Industries, Smithsonian Institution, after +Jefferson's original moldboard, located at the Natural History Museum, +Paris, France. + +90. Wooden Curd Breaker, about 1860. USNM 198617; 1953. This curd +breaker is made of wood with iron pegs in the cylinder and hopper.

Barrel Churn, about 1860. USNM 198620; 1953. A wooden barrel churn +with iron crank and paddles. Such churns were of too small volume to be +used on commercial dairy farms, and they were not at all useful in +creameries, which first appeared in 1861. Gift of Virginia Duval, +College Park, Maryland. + +93. Cookie Roller, about 1860. USNM 198620; 1953. A wooden, grooved, +one-handled cookie roller, about 14-1/2 inches long and about 3-1/4 +inches in diameter. The roller added an esthetic touch to home-made +cookies but was of little importance in the history of commercial food +processing. Gift of Virginia Duval, College Park, Maryland. + +94. Meat Grinder, 1859. USNM 198620; 1953. This iron, hand-cranked meat +grinder was patented August 2, 1859. Gift of Virginia Duval, College +Park, Maryland. + +95. Butter Prints, about 1860. USNM 198620; 1953. Two butter prints. One +is circular, with a tri-lobed leaf design and about 3 inches in +diameter; the other is a box mold with two five-point star designs and +about 5 inches long, 2-1/2 inches wide, and 4 inches high. The butter +was pressed into these molds before being served, or, sometimes, before +being rolled in paper and sold in towns. This aspect of farm dairying +quickly disappeared after the creamery dominated the industry. Gift of +Virginia Duval, College Park, Maryland. + +96. Shoe Last, possibly mid 19th century. USNM 196820; 1953. A small +last, to fit either foot, for a shoe about 8-3/4 inches long and 2-1/4 +inches wide. Such implements were useful in frontier communities and +generally were owned by itinerant cobblers who went from house to house. +Gift of Virginia Duval, College Park, Maryland. + +97. Model of Fanning Mill, 1857. USNM 198620; 1953. This is a working +model of a fanning mill invented by Joseph and James Montgomery and +covered by patents 10324, issued in 1853; 13062, issued in 1855; and +16447, issued in 1857.

A grain sack of homespun linen +made from flax grown on the John Lesher farm near Waynesboro, +Pennsylvania. Woven at a roadside mill, the sack has a capacity of three +bushels and is marked "John Lesher, No. 26, 1842." Prior to the advent +of and widespread use of the elevator system of grain handling, nearly +all grain was moved in sacks that had to be shifted about by hand and +stored in warehouses. The elevator system began in Buffalo, New York, in +1842, but reached a position of prominence only in the 1870s when it +began flourishing in Chicago and Milwaukee. Thereafter the grain sack +became virtually a curiosity. Gift of James W. Brown, Brookeville, +Maryland. + +123. Single-Harpoon Hayfork, about 1895. USNM 216224; 1957. A hay +harpoon, commonly called a hay needle, about 35-1/2 inches long. Gift of +Cora E. Robinson, Schenectady, New York. + +124. Tractor Engine Starter, 1930. USNM 218874; 1958. The starting +device could be bolted to the rear wheel hub of an automobile. An +extendible shaft went from the wheel-fitting to the crank on the +tractor. The car engine then could turn over the tractor engine. The +starter was made by C. O. Goodrich, who marketed it for about eight +years in five midwestern states. Self starters on tractors eventually +ended the need for the device. Gift of C. O. Goodrich, Plymouth, +Indiana. + +125. Fordson Crank, about 1925. USNM 218874; 1958.

Gift of New York Historical +Association, Cooperstown, New York. + +129. Log Roller, late 19th century. USNM 213356; 1958. Oxen drew this +roller in preparing seed beds. The roller crushed clods and compressed +the soil, leaving a firm, compact seed bed. It was useful, obviously, +only on certain types of soil in fairly humid areas. The roller is made +of four log sections, each 23 inches long and 14 inches in diameter. The +logs are set in a weighted frame measuring 35 inches by 9 feet, with a +tongue about 13 feet long. Gift of New York Historical Association, +Cooperstown, New York. + +130. Grain Cradle, late 19th century. USNM 213356; 1958. A form of +scythe used for harvesting grain before the reaper came into use, or +used in places where the reaper proved uneconomical or technologically +inappropriate, as rough or hilly land. This specimen has four wooden +fingers, or tines, that are 45 inches long and spaced 7 inches apart. +The blade is 2 inches wide and as long as the fingers. Gift of New York +Historical Association, Cooperstown, New York. + +131. Self-Rake Reaper, 1895. USNM 213356; 1958. A McCormick Daisy Reaper +of 1895 in which the operator sat on a seat mounted on the axle of the +left wheel. Two horses drew the reaper.

The cutter bar, over 5 +feet long, has three triangular sickle blades which oscillate through +the guard teeth, as in Hussey or modern cutter bars. Gift of New York +Historical Association, Cooperstown, New York. + +132. Barley Fork, possibly late 19th century. USNM 213356; 1958. A +rectangular wooden barley fork with a one-eighth-inch-gauge wire guard +for holding the barley on the four tines. The guard was needed because +of the nasty stings that the beard could give the worker. Gift of New +York Historical Association, Cooperstown, New York. + +133. Brush Hook, late 19th century. USNM 213356; 1958. A typical iron +sickle, called a hook because of its general shape. It has a circular +tip on the end of the blade so that it could be used for cutting brush. +Gift of New York Historical Association, Cooperstown, New York. + +134. Fanning Mill, late 19th century. USNM 213356; 1958. An early +fanning mill with pulley and leather belt. Gift of New York Historical +Association, Cooperstown, New York. + +135. Scythe, late 19th century. USNM 213356; 1958.

A rake for +piling hay that would be carried from the field or put into a mow. This +sort of implement was used as early as 1820. The farmer walked behind +the horse-drawn rake and raised the handle when the rake was full; this +caused the double set of teeth to revolve, releasing the hay in a pile +and putting the second set of teeth into position to rake more hay. The +older method involved using small hand rakes and required considerable +time and effort in a very disagreeable task. Gift of New York Historical +Association, Cooperstown, New York. + +137. Victor Mowing Machine, 1880. USNM 213356; 1958. A one-horse, +front-cut mowing machine similar to the Buckeye mower. The cutter bar +can be raised and lowered parallel to the ground for desired cutting +heights, and it can be lifted and fastened in an upright position for +transport to and from the field. Mowers cut more rapidly and lower than +did reapers, and thus they used a different gear ratio; however, farmers +sometimes used reapers for mowing. Gift of New York Historical +Association, Cooperstown, New York. + +138. Spring-Tooth Hay Rake, late 19th century. USNM 213356; 1958. A +sulky rake with spring teeth designed to jump over obstructions in the +field. Gift of New York Historical Association, Cooperstown, New York. + +139. "Railway Horse Power," about 1885. USNM 213356; 1958. A +horse-powered treadmill made chiefly of wood, with metal parts where the +wear would be greatest. It was used to produce power for belt-driven +equipment such as threshers or fanning mills. The machine is set in +motion by putting a horse in the pen and releasing the brake. The weight +of the horse causes the slats to move endlessly, which in turn rotates +the belting wheel. Two-horse treadmills also were used, but such +machines, although portable, worked less efficiently than the +sweep-power machines. This treadmill was made in Vermont. Gift of New +York Historical Association, Cooperstown, New York. + +[Illustration: Figure 14.--Dog-powered churn, 1881. (Catalog No. 140.)] + +140. Dog-Powered Churn, 1881. USNM 213356; 1958. H. M. Childs of Utica, +New York, patented this dog-powered churn in 1871, with improvements +patented in 1881. A dog, tied or strapped into the pen, ran forward and +so moved the slats of the treadmill which in turn rotated a flywheel. +Attached to the flywheel is a pitman rod which raises and lowers a churn +dasher. Devices of this sort had appeared earlier for use in the +farm-dairy industry. The change of direction effected by the pitman rod +caused some loss of energy; in any case, a revolving barrel-churn proved +more efficient in the long run. Gift of New York Historical Association, +Cooperstown, New York. + +141. Winnowing Basket, about 1800. USNM 213356; 1958. The winnowing +basket was used to work off the chaff from the threshed grain. When the +grain was tossed into the air, the wind would blow away the chaff and +the grain would fall back into the basket. Sometimes the grain would be +poured from another basket into a winnowing basket, with the wind doing +the winnowing. Gift of New York Historical Association, Cooperstown, New +York. + +[Illustration: Figure 15.--Avery Bulldog tractor, about 1919. (Catalog +No. 142.)] + +142. Avery Bulldog Tractor, 1919. USNM 222860; 1958. This is one of the +several makes of tractors which set a trend toward lighter tractors +about the time of World War I. It was designed for light field work such +as cultivating but could also be used for belt drive. It developed 5 to +10 horsepower. Sold by Everett Noirot, Freehold, New York. + +143. Grain Cradle, about 1870. USNM 230323; 1958. This grain cradle +resembles a scythe, with modification by the addition of a light wooden +frame of four fingers with braces. Gift of Massachusetts Society for +Promoting Agriculture. + +144. Scythe, about 1840. USNM 230323; 1958. A straight-handled scythe, +probably hand-made, that largely was used for mowing, although it could +be used for reaping grain. Gift of Massachusetts Society for Promoting +Agriculture. + +145. Harness Vise, probably mid 19th century. USNM 230323; 1958. This +wooden device could be used to pry open the jaws of a recalcitrant +horse.

A wooden +pitchfork for handling hay, straw, and the like. The metal pitchfork +gradually replaced these wooden forks between the middle and end of the +19th century. Gift of Massachusetts Society for Promoting Agriculture. + +147. Horse-Drawn Hayfork, late 19th century. USNM 230323; 1959. The fork +was driven into the hay and the handle compressed until it latched. A +rope was attached to the fork, run up over a pully in the barn, and +then down to a horse. In this way the hay could be lifted into the barn. +Gift of Massachusetts Society for Promoting Agriculture. + +148. Horse-Drawn Planter, 1856. USNM 230323; 1958. E. C. Fairchild of +Deerfield, Massachusetts, made this planter, which has compartments for +seeds and fertilizer. As the drive-wheel pulled a sliding bar back and +forth, seeds and fertilizer alternately dropped into the ground. The +spacing of seeds and fertilizer could be set by adjusting the metal bar. +Gift of Massachusetts Society for Promoting Agriculture. + +149. Fanning Mill, mid 19th century. USNM 230323; 1958. A machine for +winnowing grain after it had been threshed. Grain fed into the machine +landed on vibrating screens which permitted the kernels to fall into the +path of a draft of air which blew off the chaff and debris. The clean +grain fell into a container beneath the mill. The operator turned a +crank which operated both the screens and the fan. Gift of Massachusetts +Society for Promoting Agriculture. + +150. Hoe, mid 19th century. USNM 230322; 1958. A small hand hoe used for +cultivating. Gift of Farmer's Museum, Hadley, Massachusetts. + +151. Tile Knife, late 19th century. USNM 230322; 1958. This knife, +resembling a small spade, was used to cut the trench in which tile was +laid. It has a triangular metal cutter at right angles on the right +side, and this gave the trench a straight edge on one side and perhaps +helped keep the trench straight. Gift of Farmer's Museum, Hadley, +Massachusetts. + +152. Hand Hayfork, about 1895. USNM 230322; 1958. Farmers used this +metal fork for pitching hay, straw, and possibly manure. Gift of +Farmer's Museum, Hadley, Massachusetts. + +153. Grain Sickle, 19th century. USNM 230322; 1958. This hand tool for +harvesting grain has not changed in design for the last thousand years. +The sickle has a curved blade some 22 inches long. The reaper would grab +a handful of stalks and cut them with the blade. One man could cut up +to an acre of grain by this method. Gift of Farmer's Museum, Hadley, +Massachusetts. + +154. Grafting Knife, possibly 20th century. USNM 230322; 1958. A knife +especially designed to make the cuts necessary for grafting branches +onto fruit trees.

This is a +typical cultivating hoe. Farmers used hoes of this type for cultivating +crops until the innovation of plows and harrows. Gift of Farmer's +Museum, Hadley, Massachusetts. + +159. Ox Yoke, about 1830. USNM 230322; 1958. This yoke, for a single ox, +probably was used in pulling small agricultural implements such as +cultivating plows. Gift of Farmer's Museum, Hadley, Massachusetts. + +160. Grain Flail, about 1840. USNM 230322; 1958. This type flail was +used to beat grain free from unbound bundles of grain scattered about on +the barn floor. The harvesters then threw the straw to one side and +swept up the grain and chaff. The grain then had to be winnowed. Gift of +Farmer's Museum, Hadley, Massachusetts. + +161. Curd Breaker, late 19th century. USNM 230322; 1958. This machine +has a wooden roller with projecting wooden pegs which, when rotated, +broke up cheese curds. Gift of Farmer's Museum, Hadley, Massachusetts. + +162.

Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm + +Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of +electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers +including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists +because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from +people in all walks of life. + +Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the +assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's +goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will +remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure +and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations. +To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation +and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 +and the Foundation web page at https://www.gutenberg.org/fundraising/pglaf. + + +Section 3.

The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification +number is 64-6221541.

Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit https://www.gutenberg.org/fundraising/donate + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. +To donate, please visit: +https://www.gutenberg.org/fundraising/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone.

Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + https://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. + diff --git a/27327.zip b/27327.zip Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..41e9ece --- /dev/null +++ b/27327.zip diff --git a/LICENSE.txt b/LICENSE.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000..6312041 --- /dev/null +++ b/LICENSE.txt @@ -0,0 +1,11 @@ +This eBook, including all associated images, markup, improvements, +metadata, and any other content or labor, has been confirmed to be +in the PUBLIC DOMAIN IN THE UNITED STATES. + +Procedures for determining public domain status are described in +the "Copyright How-To" at https://www.gutenberg.org. + +No investigation has been made concerning possible copyrights in +jurisdictions other than the United States.
