The Farmers Improved Estate.

The boy who was hired to stand and
watch the early steam engine and ma
nipulate the "cut-cff' got lazy one
day, and, tying stick of proper weight
to the string which pulled the valve,
was gratitied to learn that the old
thing would 90 of ITSELF while he
ran off to play. In this way the lad
invented himself out of a position,
for, when the engineer discovered how
much more regular the stick of wood
was in its motions than had been the
boy, he immediately adopted the idea,
and claimed a patent tor'it.
The spirit of the boy who tied that
stick to the string and made it do his
task is the spirit of the age. How to
avoid work is the problem. And 1t is
a problem not rarely solved, as the la

tent with the new things, the farmer
continued to encourage Invention, with
her many improvements. and soon We
saw the farmer in the tie d quit his
walking and mount the seat on the
mower, the reaper and the sulky-plow
| and drive glibly through the field of
standing grass. grain and growing
blades, and finally even went SO far as
TO ride beneath an awning, The sun
had done its last work at tanning farm
ers
We have come very far short of
mentioning all that the desire for ease
! has done for the farmer of the period.
We have not mentioned the corn
planting machine, which marks the
rows and drops and covers the corn, as
the farmer rides Oh his easy spring
seat, beneath his canopy Of sail-cloth,
and holds the reins above his easily
worked steeds. Then there is the re-
volvjng-harrow, and sulky-harrow,
and sulky-cultivatora and sulky--every-
thing else, except the sulky farmer,
which is naturally growing to be a
thing hard to find.
The farmer may let the spirit of Ease
60 too far with him He may let it
get up a laugh upon him. "Why,"
said a city gentleman, travelling in
rural Illinois, the other day. 9 if there
isn't harrow fixed behind sulky,
with the man riding and driving"
"Oh, that's nothing" replied the
country party with him, sulky-har-
rows, or drags, as the old farmer used
to call harrows, are getting very COM
mon" But" continued the last
party. after pause, u can tell you a
funny story Of a young farmer near
here. Passing his place the other day,
| saw him in the field with one of the
old kind of barrowS, and-would you
believe 1.-THE was riding behind on "a
pony with sun umbrella over his
head driving the team hitched to that
harrow ~
After all it is well that the severe
labor of the earlier husbandmen is be-
ing ameliorated. Men grew old too
fast in those days, and wrinkles, gray
hairs and bent backs came along too
rapidly. With the help of improved
machinery. a little industry goes "a
good ways, while constant labor
achieves wonders. and, best of all, it
keeps the "boys" from getting dis
gusted with and leaving the best es-
tate that the Creator has ever given
to man--namely, tillable soil. Chicago

The Lancaster Farmer gives this
remedy for gapes in chickens: lin a
recent conversation with an expert
enced chicken grower, he informed us
that he had been very successful in
conquering that precarious disease in
his young fowls, by the application of
air-Slaked lime. AS soon as a mani
festation of gapes in his fowls appears,
he confines his chickens in box, one
at time, sufficiently large to contain
the bird, and places coarse piece Of
cotton or linen cloth over the top.
Upon this he places the pulveriZed
lime, and taps the screen sufficiently
to cause the lime to fall through.
This lime-dust the fowl inhales and
causes ii to SneeZe, and in a short time
the cause of the gapes is thrown out
IN the form of a Shiny mass or masses
of worms, which had accumulated in
the windpipe and smaller air vessels
This remedy he considers superior to
any he has ever tried, and he seldom
tails to effect Il perfect cure

York, who is but 81 years of age, sailed as a

out violent storms were encountered and the
crew became alarmed and importuned the cap

to say and then called upon Mrs. York, who re :

take my trick at the wheel and help navigate
the vessel. To 60 back, me ans to give up, ard I

being nearly evenly matched. At the end of
the ninth inning the score stood II to IL. The
Colbys went to the bat first in the tenth innings
and by heavy striking succeeded in making one
score, going out with three men on the bases.
The Bowdoins made desperate effort to add
one to their score in this inning, but failed,
and thus left victory for the Colbys by score
of IL to II. The following was the score:
