But when the machines came in with their mechanical ability to perform faster than the ox could travel, the faster moving, more amenable horse and mule came into general use. The horse- power idea came to dominate American agriculture and lifted its production capacity beyond that of any other country in the world.
The influence of the use of machinery was to in- duce a specialization in crops the growing of "money crops" and the purchase of such products as were needed to complete the living o...n the farm. Home industry after home industry was transferred to the city shops and factories and the farmer lim- ited his efforts to supplying some particular demand.
42 THE EVOLUTION OF AMERICAN AGRICULTURE The self-sufficing age went out; the commercial age came in.
