A few 3-horse (double row) culti- vators are included with the 2 horse. Only 3 of the 2 or 3 horse cultivators cost over 13 cents per acre-time. One of these was an extra cultivator, bought secondhand and used on only 15 acres in four years. The cost of use for most of them ranged between 1 and 10 cents per acre-time, 35 out of 102 bemg between2 and 4 cents, 24 between 4 and 6 cents, and 12 below 2 cents. The acre cost of corn binders varies greatly, but on about half the farms where used it was between 25 and 45 cents per acre. Two sled har- vesters cost less than 10 cents per acre. The corn shockers re- ported were used on a much lower acreage than the corn binders, ^^'ith a much higher acre cost. The wide variation in size and first cost of ensilage cutters makes the average of doubtful value. Two cutters cut about 120 tons each per year at costs 5^ 1 1 1 1 1 1 ,J ^ S> ^/K£ -TOO 1 1 ny /iA/?/ROiA/s. 1 1 / \ 1 ^ 4 â 1 1 .2 4 5 6 C£A/rs /='£:r /ic/re.
