conscious OF the perniCjous influence Of
a certain class Of journals, called enter

TIE Benefits Of Machinery.

There is story current which is per-
tinent to our subject in illustrating q
popular idea which is unhappily toe
prevalent. 1t is to the effect that a
farmer was reading Of new implement
by which 800 bushels of potatoes could
be dug in day, and remarked that be
would get one. TO which his boy re-
piled: but, dad, who is going to pick
them uppn The implied inference is
that this staggerer Of the boy S cured
the old man Of his desire to get a ma
chine. And this acaords very much too
far witha prevalent view OF the obsta
cles in the way of enjoying the benefits
tobe derived from the use Of improved
Rlachinery on the farm.
A machine is nothing if not time
and labor saver. That is its whole claim
to the favorable attention of farmers.
But as it saves time and labor in one d.
rection it makes anecessity for accumu-
lated labor in another to meet and take
care of the work it does. A machine
that digs five acres of potatoes in day
will do the work of ten or twenty men
in digging, but it leaves the picking ND,
y SOaAoOf w W uOuC Ill bu0 usual way.
Il the 500 bushels can be picked UP in
five days by one man, five men would
be required to pick them up in one day.
Thus the machine actually gives en-
ployment for more men, who must be
provided to wait upon it. But the re-
suit is that the machine and five men
will do the work of fifteen men. This
is the gain. And tits most important
one. This subject is one which we
should like farmers to study closely.
There is an impression abroad that i'm
proFements of all kinds in agriculture
are too costly for the average farmer to
handle. That wind mills, steam-en-
gines, fodder cutters. feed-mills, silos,
artificial fertilizers, feeding by soiling,
high culture of the land, high-bred
stock. and al the remainder Of what
may be included under the general term
OF modern improvements in agriculture.
are not for the farmers benefit. but only
suited to the rich amateurs who PLAY al
the business. This impression is wrong,
and we hope the little instance we have
given may help the farmer to see where
in 1t Is mistakes one. MI. Times

A Good Fence Against Freshets.

We have noticed several methods OF
erecting fence across streams or riv-
ers upon the farm to prevent cattle
from trespassing upon neighbours
land, or fields upon ones own premises,
where they might do mischief But
one that was described to us recently
we regard as an improvement upon
any we have yet seen. 1t is construct
ed as follows: Take two short, heavy
posts, say three feet long, set into the
ground and extending above it some ten
or twelve inches. A pole six inches in
diameter, and of sufficient length to
span the stream, forms the bottom of
the fence. This should be cut fat on
one side, and the ends rounded down to
about two inches, so as to fit into cor
responding holes in the before-men-
toned posts about six inches from the
ground. A board or fat rail the length
of the panel forms the top rail, and to
this and to the fiat.ened side of the poles
are to be nailed the uprights at proper
distance to oppose the cattle intended
to pasture on the land-these to be
nailed to the upstream side. When
during freshet the water presses
against the fence, the props give way
and the panel falls down with the ends
or edges of the boards presented to the
line of the current, and offer but little
resistance to it. When the storm or
flood is over all that is necessary to do
IS to go to work, and, after raising itup,
prop it as before, and it IS as good as
ever. This fence. we are told, answers
July all the purposes desired, - German

italian MacarOni.

Macaroui, the common kind, is
simply flour and salt worked together
with water till paste is made that is as
fine as possible. 1t is then rolled QUE
into sheets and hung across poles till
partially dried, and cut into long mar
row thread-like strips and the drying
finished When hung out in sheets It
has the general appearance of hides in
the first process of tanning, i. e., with
the hair taken off. This is the common
variety. The process of cooking is very
simple: it is simply boiled in water till
it is done, and the process of eating is
quite as simple. The macaroni seller
stands beside his caldron on the side
walk, with pile of tin plates. The
hungry purchaser hands him sou and
ladle full is placed upon a plate and
the eater takes the long strings with his
fingers and stuffs his mouth with themv
repeating the operation till the portion
is gone. 1t is needless to state that the
tin plates are never washed, and that
the vendor who gets too much on a
plate always takes back the excess with
his fingers, which were never washed
The finer kinds of macaroni, made
for export, has eggs added, in proper
proportions, and the paste is forced
Through holes over metal tubes forming
the cylindrical paste which is consid-
cred SO great delicacy in other coun-
tries.
Travel in Italy is, however destroying
the trade, and the macaroni manufact-
urers are very stupid to have immense
establishments where foreigners can see
the operation. If there is anything
more filthy than mandatory of mac
aroni we have not yet found it. There
are a score of tEem en- the road from
Naples to Pompeii, and the favorite 10
cation seems to be close to a tannery,
the smell of which is only excelled in
general lerocity by the odor5 of the a.
leys in the city. Here is the tannery
with its horrible odors, and in close
iuxtaposition is the macaroni factory.
the odors of the one permeating and
saturating the other; however the maca-
roni men don't seem to mind it. The
interior of their concerns are just as
filthy, the only difference being that
-four, salt and eggs can not be made to
emit smell so hideous as the hides of
animals under scorching sun.
1t was observable tha t.hose who were
the fondest of macaroni, those who
were connoisseurs, after going through
the macaroni regions declined the deli
cacy at table on their return, and it is
safe to say that not one of them will
ever eat part Gle of it when they re-
turn unless they can be satisfied that it
was not made in Italy.-D. r. Locke, IN
