The agricultural revolution in the nineteenth century involved two things: the invention
of labor-saving machinery and. the development of scientific agriculture. Labor - saying
machinery, naturally appeared, first where labor was 8carce. "In Europe," said, Thomas Jefferson,
the object is to make the most of: their land, labor being abundant. 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 plow farmers could have carried practically all of the existing agricultural implement on
their backs; 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 1790 Charies Newbold of
New Jersey had been working on the of a cast – iron plow and spent his entire fortune in
introducing his invention. The farmers, however, would have 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.

the correct answer to each of the questions from 45 to 50.
 Baseball evolved from a number of different ball-and-stick games (paddle ball, trap ball, one-old-
cat, rounders, and town ball) originating in England. As early as the American Revolution, it was
noted that troops played “base ball” in their free time. In 1845 Alexander Cartwright formalized
the New York Knickerbockers’ version of the game: a diamond shaped infield, with bases ninety
feet apart, three strikes-you’re-out, batter out on a caught ball, three outs per inning, a nine man
team. The “New York Game” spread rapidly, replacing earlier localized forms. From its
beginnings, baseball was seen as a way of satisfying the recreational needs of an increasingly
urban-industrial society. At its inception it was played by and for wealthy gentlemen. A club
might consist of 40 members. The president would appoint two captains who would choose teams
from among the members. Games were played on Monday and Thursday afternoons, with the
losers often providing a lavish evening’s entertainment for the winners. During the 1850-70
period the game was changing, however, with increasing commercialism (charging admission),
under-the-table payments to exceptional players, and gambling on the outcome of games. By 1868
it was said that a club would have their regular professional ten, an amateur first-nine, and their
“muffins” (the gentlemanly duffers who once ran the game) Beginning with the first openly all-
salaried team (Cincinnati’s Red Stocking Club) in 1869, the 1870-1890 period saw the complete
professionalization of baseball, including formation of the National Association of Professional
Baseball Players in 1871. The National League of Professional Base Ball Clubs was formed in 1876,
run by business-minded investors in joint-stock company clubs. The 1880s has been called Major
League Baseball’s “Golden Age”. Profits soared, player’s salaries rose somewhat, a season of 84
games became one of 132, a weekly periodical “The Sporting News” came into being, wooden
stadiums with double-deck stands replaced open fields, and the standard refreshment became hot
dogs, soda pop and peanuts. In 1900 the Western League based in the growing cities of the
Midwest proclaimed itself the American League.
