Buckeye Mowers and Reapers,


The Buckeye Mowers and Reapers, built by
Adriance, Platt Il Co., Poughkeepsie, and 1876
Greenwich street, New York, have for 21 years
held the highest position. While many useful
improvements have been made in other depart
ments CT agricultural machinery, all attempts
to produce a machine that would equal the
Buckeye In the simplicity and correctness of
its principles of construction have failed
while the excellence of the mechanical work
done by Adriance, Platt & Co., has given them
a worldwide fame.
the New Model Buckeye Mower contains all
the original Buckeye features, and is construct
ed entirely Of iron and steel. 1t is truly q
model of beauty, symmetry, lightness, strength,
efficiency and durability.
The Adriance Reaper built by the same firm
is the nearest approach to perfection yet at
tanned in light, simple, single drive wheel
iron reaper, combining every desirable featur
to enable it to do the best OF work under al
circumstances. It's platform is very easily fold
cd. rendering 1T as portable as the Buckeye
Mower, and enabling it to pass through the
narrowest bars or lanes.

How a Turks House is Divided d

A Turkish house is divided into two
parts-the selamlik for the men, the
haremlik for the women; and the latter
has as many separate suites of apart
ments as there are ladies. A Turk who
has but one wife may require O large
haremlik if his mother and sisters live
with him, for each of these ladies must
have her private set of rooms and SER
wants for her separate use. There must
be no crowding and no mixing of domes-
tics in well-ordered establishment; 80
that if there be four wives they need
never see one another unless they please.
The first wife is called the hanun, and
takes precedence over the others all her
life. She has right to the best rooms
and to fixed share of her husbands in
come, which he must not reduce to
minister to the caprice of his younger
spouses. AS these points have generally
been settled through the ulemas or
priests before the wedding, a hanun's 8
iointure is as safe as that of a French
woman who has had contract drawn up
by notary. During the last twenty
years monogamy has become more and
more the rule among Turks of the high
est class, and even among those who
have two or three wives, the hanun has
gradually come to be regarded as having
the same rank as the wife in an English
or American house. She visits and en-
tertains the hanuns of other gentlemen,
but keeps aloof from wives of the Sc
cond and other degrees. These ale mo-
equals in her sight, being generally
ladies of lower social status, who have
not brought any dowry to their husband
Time was when pasha wo uld take foul
wives of an equal degree, all being
daughters of the other pashas or of. thu
Sultan and all richly portioned, bu
manners have altered in this respect
all events, in the European part of Tur
key. 1t must not be supposed, however
that a hanun cherishes any such jealou
hatred of her fellow-wives as is felt by
wife who sees her husband fiirt will
strange women. She is content will
the largest share of her husbands re
spect, without demanding his exclusiv,
devotion

Americas Arabic Soil.

1t is not generally known, even in
cultivated circles, that the amount of
arabic soil in America is greater than in
Europe, Asia and Africa put together,
and therefore can sustain more lives.
This is no rash conclusion. Our conti-
nent is narrow, and therefore the winds
of the ocean water it we'll. The noun
tain chains on the east side of the Amer
lean continent, are low; on the east side
of the Old World, are high. From this
it results that the trade winds, laden
with the wetness of the sea, are attracted
to our land. The breadth of the Old
World and its high eastern ranges cause
the rainless interiors of Asia and Africa.
Again, America is the land of fertile
plains; the Old World of scorched
plains. Our plains run north and south
and so attract and receive the rains.
America is high under the equator, the
Old World is wide; hence, with us a
small surface is exposed to the scorch-
ing sun. The result is that the pro-
ductive soil in the Old World is ten
million square miles and in the New
World, eleven million.

Tho Social Weaver.

The social weaving-bird of the Orange
river region of southern Africa is too re-
markable member of this family TO be
passed unnoticed, though its extraordi-
nary structure has often been described
by African travellers. II not only builds
in companies, rs do most of the family,
but always associates in colonies of many
individuals, who construct their nests
under common roof Of their own build.
ing. When one of these structures is
first begun in the selected place, the
community Immediately proceed to con.
struct together the general covering
which is to shelter them all. This thatch
is made of q coarse strong fiber Of Bush
mans grass. This being completed,
each pair begin to form their own separ-
ate nest, of the same material as the
roof. The nests are placed close to-
gether, side by side against the under
surface of the general covering, and
when all are completed, the lower sur
face exhibits an even horizontal ceiling,
perforated with small circular openings
With each breeding season, fresh nests
are formed upon the lower surface of
those of the preceding year. In this
manner, year after year they add to the
mass, until at last its excessive weight
causes the destruction of the whole, and
new site has to be chosen. The roof
is usually firmly interviewer with the
branches of large tree, and often the
principal limbs are included within its
substance. .--Soribner.

Words Of Wisdom.

Deeds are fruit words are but
leaves.
The example of the good is visible
philosophy.
Kindness is the high tide of the
souls nobility.
Practice economy and industry and
success is yours.
Temper is so good a thing that we
shonld never lose it and always COM
mand it.
1t is better to SOW good heart with
kindness than field with corn, for the
hearts harvest is perpetual.
Men should not think too much of
themselves, and yet man should be
careful not to forget himself.
When you strike oil stop boring.
Many a man has bored clean through
and let the oil run out at the bottom.
Next in point of meanness to doing
an injury is to do man favor and
every now and then remind him of it.
Prefer sense to wit; never study to be
diverting without being useful; let no
| Jest intrude upon good manners, nor
say anything that may offend modesty.
Kindness does not always produce
what we expect from hand which we
hate they are regarded as offences the
more we lavish upon one who may hate
us, the more arms we give him who
wishes to destroy us.
Humility does not depend upon the
way in which man carries his body
it depends upon what his life is upon
what he means to do with it upon
where he puts it, and where he keeps
it, and what service it renders.
By relying on our own resources We
acquire mental strength; but when We
lean on others for support, we are like
an invalid, who, having accustomed
himself to crutch, finds it difficult tc
walk without one.
A man says: 81 have thrown away
forty years; / have wasted my whole
life"-or, as the more common express
sion is coming to be: "My life has
been a failure the thing al
which he aimed has been lost. AS if O
mans life consisted in the abundance Of
exterior things which he possessed. Al
if a mans life were not hidden in his
own self.

The city of Texarkana is built at the
junction of Texas, Arkansas and LouiEi-
ana. 1t received its name in 1919, when
an enthusiastic surveyor, while running
the lines, blazed the three fragments of
the names of the new States on tree,
and predicted that great city would be
built there. Three years ago, when the
town was founded, the name, still to be
seen on the old tree, was adopted, and
the prediction seems in a fair way to be
verified, as the town now has 5000 in
habitants, and is an important railroad
crossing.

What has this woman been doing,

Mr.. Darwin has carried out series of
successful experiments to test the ques-
ton whether carnivorous plants really
benefit by the insects they capture and
kill. About two hundred plants OF
DroSerG rotlIndioliG were cultivated in
plates during most of last summer. One
half of them were regularly fed with
roast meat, and the other were left to
care for themselves. At the end of the
season it was found that the plants
which had been supplied with meat
weighed 215 per cent. more than the
others, and that their fower-stems,
seeds and capsules were q times
heavier, and the seeds weighed times
more than the unfed ones. This seems
conclusive that the plants do assimilate
the insects that they capture, and that
this variety of vegetables can be regu.
larly fattened for the market.
