FARM AND HOUSEHOLD
Ratd's Patent Grain-BindIng Machine,

DIR. FL. A. REID, of Nebraska City, has
invented q resper attachment for binding
grain with grain bands, of the merits of
which the Nebraska City Daily Chronicle
OF July 10Th speaks az follows:
The main feature of this new inyen.
ton is q seltrake so constructed and oper-
ated that it rskes the bundle and then
grips 1t tight, at the same time lifting it
nigh enough Tor man to either stand or
sit and put the band around, there being
an open space of about eight inches clear
all around the bundle, for him to put his
arms around with the band and the rake
halts about four seconds while holding the
bundle IN It's grip, thus giving him plenty
OF time to do his part OF the work il then
suddenly ungrips the bundle and drops it
to the ground in the act of starting back
to rake another one. Handy to the bind
er there is crib or tray attached, to keep
a quantity OF grain in for band material ::
he gets the band ready in his hand while
the rake is gathering up another bundle,
and the instant il comes up he throws his
arm around It with the band and makes
his tie, (the sheaf being already pressed
tight enough by the rake's grip,) and he
is done with it and ready to make his next
band. Hut when he wants fresh supply
OF band material he puts his arms around
the bundle in the rake without any band
and holds it till the rake ungrips and
leaves it loose in his arms, when he lays
it in the tray at his side and there is his
band material.
"The binder can stop or start the rake
at pleasure, thus regulating the size of the
bundle; he can have it gripped tightly or
loosely as he pleases; and he can either
sit or stand at his work and easily have
an awning to keep the hot sun off Yet
there is not rstch nor cog wheel about
it, and the whole continuance is so plain
and simple that it might be manufactured
at any country wagon shop. The power
to run the rake is communicated by a
common straight linked endless chain I:
but the doctor explains four or five other
methods OF doing it, some of which he
had used IL experiments on other reapers
The extra draft 10 run it will not be equal
to halt horse power, and it can be at
tached to almost any reaper now in use
by making some changes in their plat
forms.
1.-THE value of this invention to the
whole farming world cannot be estimated
In dollars, and it ought TO be vigorously
pushed into tie field next year."

How Nitro-GlycerIne Is Kept.

A CORRESPONDENT of the Boston Id
rerttser tells how the nitro glycerine il
kept at the HOosac Tunnel:
The glycerine, as they call IL, is deliy-
cred In solid form at the Shanly Maya
zine, at the west shaft, at the central shaft
and at the cas-, end, being frozen and
packed in ice. 1t is also sent to Connect.
cut and other points. The Shsnlys never
keep more than 500 pounds in their maya
zine, and seldom more than 300. 1t is con
tanned In eartben j.rs on low bench, a
thin layer OF water covering the dreaded
oil. Tie magazine is cool and pleasant,
but it is not a place where one would
choose 20 sit ana smoke during warm
afternoon.
When requisite number of holes for
q blast have been drilled at the heading in
the west end, which was first yisited,
word is sent 10 the surface, and the man
who handles the glycerine brings it down
IN little tin cans containing pound ard a
nall each. Any man may handle gun
powder in u tunnel, but only g few
are permitted to touch glycerine,
and they do nothing else. The cans
are inserted in the drilled holes,
with the ends Gf the exploders inserted
IN the cork. These expioders ara very
innocent things away from glycerine, but
very dangerous sgents in ats vicinity.
The ends of the expioders are connected
with wires extending to TIE battery far
away. The wOrkmen have meantime
been removing the drill machines and
the platform on which they rest, the rub
Der pipes which convey the compressed
air, the tools and every other useful and
destructible thing, to distance of two
hundred feet or more. The wires are
then attached to the two ends of mag
neto-electric battery, and few turns of
the little crank are given. A faint thud,
puff OF air striking the face, and the
work is done. One of the men goes for
ward and carefully inspects all the holes
To make sure that every one has been OK
ploded, and having ascertaiDed the fact,
the miners come forward To renew their
drilling and to clear away the Debris of
the blast"

Tho Ice ExtOrtiOn.

1t appears that the dread monopoly known
as the Knickerbocker Ice Company, which is
master Of all it surveys in the Arctic luxury,
has issued an edict declaring that from to-
morrow forth the price of ice to private con-
sumers is to be advanced from one and half
cents to two cents a pound, and that the drivers
of ice carts are not to deliver anything less
than twenty-five cents worth to anybody.
This portion of the ukase will cut off the use
of ice from thousands of poor families who
have been accustomed to purchase it in small
quantities. and is in itself cruel injustice. Is
there no remedy for the extortons of this
abominable monopoly? Hardly. But some
thing may be done by families in economizing
the use of ice to the lowest point of consump-
ton absolutely necessary in the household,
and something also by the authorities in
opening pumps for the supply of cold
spring water, as has been done to
some extent in Brooklyn. The weather,
too, is not far off when ice will cease
to be necessity. The public will rejoice
doubly if it should arrive in time to leave a
large surplus stock in the monopolists' ice
houses. There is a remedy ahead, also, for
this extortion, and that is to get up indepen-
dent ice companies before next winter, and
thus keep down the price to fair and honest
value. Monopolles do not live forever.

WE KNOW ALL ABOUT IT.-According to
French reports the French armies In the late
battles were defeated by overwhelming num-
bers, in the proportion of eight or ten thousand
French against fifty or sixty thousand Ger
mans. We know what this means. From the
first Bull Run to the second the defeats of our
Union armies were generally charged to the
overwhelming forces of the enemy, but there
was never much consolation or truth in the ex-
cuse 1t is good generalship that brings an
overwhelming force to bear upon some par
ticuar point which will decide the battle 1t
is the Napoleonic idea upon which ''The Little
Corporal" overran the Continent, and if the
nephew is not equal to this idea he will have
to retire.
