Artificial DRIVING of Crops.

The farmers of the west are suffering
from the effects of wet weather. Much
of the hay in stack is in the fields and
marshes, thoroughly saturated, and is
said TO be rotting. A large portion of
the corn crop is also out and suffering
from the same cause. 1t is easy to see
the advantage of some method of drying
and saving these crops. We find an arti-
Gle in one Of our exchanges on this
point and copy it. 1t strikes US that
several farmers might club together and
secure some such apparatus at merely
nominal cost for each and with a very
heavy profit to them on the investment.
1t seems as though any man Of common
ingenuity ought TO be able to devise an
apparatus that would answer the pur-
pose. Here is the article:
The deterioration of the last British
wheat crop, by reason OF the heavy rains
that fell just as the farmers were about
to harvest it, brings into prominent no.
tice an important invention for secU ring
all agricultural products from the effects
of dampness. This invention is the ma
tured result of elaborate experiments by
Mr.. w. A. Gibbs, of Glllwell Park, Es-
sex, England, and is known as the "Gill.
we'll drier." Its essential feature is TINT
hot air and the products of the combus-
lion Of coke or anthracite. as coming
from portable furnace, are driven by
means Of fan right over and through
the hay, wheat or other products 10 be
cured. Under this process 1.-THE machine
dried hay" the Journal Of Science says,
'retains its full natural odor and SAVIOR
and is eagerly eaten by the most fastid-
ious COW and horses" and in practical
working no disaster from fire or any 9TH
er cause has ever occurred" Such an in.
ventlon is Invaluable. if, as this high
scientific authority asserts, over thirty
tons Of wet hay can be dried ty it in
twenty.tour hours at less cost than 81,
and it is efflcacious in saving grain, seed
and all other products. The immense
losses of British agriculturists from the
saturation of their harvests by their pro.
verbally torrential harvest rains have
terribly crippled them for several years,
so that some process for drying grain IS
prime necessity. THE increasingly in.
ferior condition in which English wheat
is reaching the market is clearly shown"
says the Economist. "by comparison of
the commercial statistics published dur.
ing September" the price falling from
about fifty-five shillings quarter on the
Sd of the month 10 about forty eight at
its close), and august was q month
when the means of artificial drying
would have been worth millions 10 Brit
ish farmers" The value of Mr.. Gibbs
machine might in some seasons be meal
culable to our farmers, especially in the
Southern aud Middle states,
where wet weather in harvest Is not un-
known, and we see no reason why it
might not be extensively employed in
many other American farming districts
where the summer rainfall is OCCASION
ally excessive and disastrous to the
crops.
