THE AMERICAN
Hay Loading Machine.

am nov prepared to f' order. fir this ua-
chine for the season Of 1874.
1t has been my purpose 10 furnish the farmers
Of the country with hay loading machine which
should be practical labOr-saving implement
ranking with the other great labor.saying invon-
tions Of tho day, and have determined to not
put it upon the market until it was perfected
and could cordially recommend il 70 my neighbors
and friends | have made cnangcs year after
year in order to get tho bc,t combination possible
to secure my object, and | now have machine
which very few farmers can afford To- be without
1t is light, durable aud easily managed, and is
offered at $50 and freight, a price which makes
it a good investment for any farmer who cuts 80
tons OF hay year, and ON large farms it will pay
for itself every year. Its use to me in my last
years haying was worth over 500, in cash, and
had been prepared to use it to its full capacity
IT would have easily earned me double that sum.
II saves nearly ono-half If the manual labor Of
the hay field, solving the great problem Of labor

1t is attachable to a common farm wagon, takes
the hay from the vnrow, and leads with case u

1t has been tested by great many cntcrprisng
farmers Of this country aud Europe during the
past four years, its principles by them universally
endorsed, and even in its then imperfect state
pronounced Indispensable by many Of them.

Eating and Drinking.

Now they are beginning 70 discuss
whether food or drink is most essen
tial to the human system. From Get
tysburg there comes the story Of man
who has already lived tifty-eight days
without food, sustaining life BY drink
ing small quantities Of cold water. On
the other hand, there il an equally
eccentric gentleman in Waterbury
Centre, Vermont, who, five years ago,
became impressed with the idea that
nature did mot require so much liquid
toquench thirst as is usually supposed.
The result has been that the first year
thereafter he went thirty.eight days
without taking any liquids into his
system, the second year 70 days, the
third 1870, the fourth ITO, and up to
Thursday Of last week he had gone 228
days in the fifth year without drinking
anything Whatsoever.
