The agricultural revolution in the nineteenth century involved two things: the invention of labor–saving machinery and development of scientific agriculture Labor-saving machinery naturally appearedfirst where labor was scarce “In Europe,” said Thomas Jefferson, “the object is to make the most of theirland, labor being abundant; here it is to make the most of our labor, land being abundant” It was in theUnited States, therefore, that the great advances in 19th century agricultural machinery first came

At the opening of the century, with the exception of a crude plough, farmers could have carriedpractically all of the existing agricultural implements on their backs; by 1860, most of the machinery inuse today had been designed in an early form The most important of the early inventions was the ironplough As early as 1790 Charles Newbold of New Jersey had been working on the idea of a cast-ironplough and spent his entire fortune in introducing his invention The farmers, however, were notinterested in it, claiming that the iron poisoned the soil and made the weeds grow Nevertheless, manypeople devoted their attention to the plough, until in 1869 James Oliver of Indiana turned out the firstchilled-steel plough

Some recent research into conversation between men and women has produced results which willsurprise few women Men are always interrupting women when they talk One researcher feels that menregard female talk as a kind of conversational housework They expect women to play a supporting role

So a man interrupts in a display of dominance or control Men also have a much more unpleasantlistening style Whereas a woman uses gestures or says “Mm”, a man will say such things as “right” or

“OK”, thus, setting the stage for an interruption Conversation of this kind is, then, hardly meaningfulcommunication Male talk is often argumentative while women are more tentative, asking morequestions and tending to build up their replies on what the other person has said The research wouldindicate that women are better listeners than men Yet, listening secretly to conversations betweengroups of women, one has the impression of several simultaneous monologues into which no man would

be able to get a chance to speak
