Up To-Date Farming.

C. Fr Mansfieid/Xwho owns a 400 acre farm southeast of Rens selaer, in Milroy tp., is going to try plowing with a 45-horse power Avery motor, which has been seen on the streets here several times this week. The machine has the appearance of a big, motor truck, with iron wheels for traveling on the road and still

other wheels slightly smaller with blades for holding fast in propelling it over soft ground. It will pull three plows, seeder and a harrow at the same time and on the bed seed may be carried. It is a sort of a general purpose machine and can be used for various work on the farm. Its cost is $2,500. It will be the first motor farm machine to be used in Jasper county.
