76)The agriculture revolution in the nineteenth century involved two things:the invention of labor-saving machinery and the development of scientific agriculture.Labor-saving machinery naturally appeared first where labor was scarce."In Europe",said Thomas Jefferson,"the object is to make the most of their land,labor being sufficient; here it is to make the most of our labor,land being abundant".It was in America,therefore,that the great advances in nineteenth-century agricultural machinery first came.At the opening of the century,with the exception of a crude(粗糙的) plow,farmers could have carried practically all of the existing agricultural tools on their backs.(77)By 1860,most of the machinery in use today had been designed in an early form.The most important of the early inventions was the iron plow.As early as 1890 Charles Newbolt of New Jersey had been working on the idea of a cast-iron plow and spent his entire fortune in introducing his invention.The farmers,however,would home none of it,claiming that the iron poisoned the soil and made the weeds grow.Nevertheless,many people devoted their attention to the plow,until in 1869,James Oliver of South Bend,
Indiana,turned out the first chilled-steel plow.

19世纪,农业革命涉及到两个方面:节省劳力的机器的发明和科技农业的发展.节省劳力机器第一次出现在劳力相对缺乏的地方.托马斯.杰斐逊说:"在欧洲,目标是更多的土地,和劳力的足够.而在这儿呢,是创造更多的劳力,土地变得丰富."这是在美国,因此,19世纪,农业机械的巨大进步出现了.在世纪开初,除了粗糙的犁,农民们已经把实际上存在的几乎所能家具扛到了他们的背上.
到1860年,今天我们所使用的大多数家具被设计成最初的形式.最重要的发明是铁犁.早在1890年,新泽西州的查尔斯,纽博尔特一直致力于铸铁犁的研究上,他花了所有的财产来推广他们的发明,然而,农民们不愿意接受.并且声称,铁会污染土壤,让野草生长.不过,也有许多人把注意力投向了犁,直到1869年,印第安 州南部的詹姆士,奥利弗生产出了第一具冷冻铁犁(生铁可能).
