We have read the bills, posters,
and testimonials of this machine, but,
remarkably strange to annnouce,
none of them describe the kinds of
work it is able to do, nor tell of its
usefulness upon different kinds of
land. The proprietors present an an
omaly in their announcement of a
machine which performs more, and
is far more useful than they claim for
it. We had read in the Prairie Earn
er of Padon's Plow through some
farmer who had, as he said, “taken
a n old, worn out farm, the cream all
skimmed off years ago, by shallow
plowing, plowed it a foot deep with
one of Padon's Trenchers, and made
it to all intents a new farm.” Well,
such is one of its very valuable uses,
but you do not learn it from the un
pretending claims ot the proprietors.
They seem to conceal rather than to
prominently set forth the virtues of
their great big thing ! Was the like
ever before known since the begin
ning of this era of Patent Rights and
School books? We venture, never!
Well, a thing of true merit we can
hardly write briefly of its merited
merits. One of these plows ought to
be owned in every farm neighbor
hood as a Stock Company concern,
as every farm contains more or less
land that would be doubled in value
by a plowing with this Padon's Carri
er. Wet land can be measurably re
claimed thereby ; hard land softened ;
old, worn out land renewed ; and
weedy lands reclaimed by turning
under the seeds so deep that the res
urection warmth of sunshine can
never germinate them. As a ditch
ing machine it must be a success, and
for either levelling down or throwing
up land into moles.
