    called Kil Finerty) Near Rath Bullintubber Co Roscommon and, had land there which he tilled. He made a steam plough, here and after many trials put it to work. Going out one morning he started ploughing and worked all day long until night. When he arrived home he told his wife that he has the seven acre field ploughed she laughed at him and said, "is that all" after all your experimenting?
