Kennedy, Super- intendent of the Eighth Census, -writing presumably in 1864, says: "As recently as 1849 when -we relieved ourselves of a farm in Pennsylvania to take charge of a census nearly all the opera- tions of agriculture except that of threshing the grain were performed by manual labor, and the number of workmen to be provided for. especially during the period of harvesting, ren- dered several montns of the year a season of family solicitude and drudgery. On the same farms crops the past... year -were sown and gathered in a much shorter time, in better condition ■with one.fourth the number of laborers, the grain being cut by machinery; and the grass mown, loaded on the wagon and transferred therefrom to the mow by means of mechanical ap- pliances. The effects of such changes upon the character of the rural population of our country -will soon manifest them- selves by their elevating influences".* *Eighth Census. Volume on Agriculture, p. xxviii. CHAPTER XIII. AMERICAN AGRICULTURE.
