n u see the wonderful strides
that have been made, not only in
the improved farm, but in all
other classes of machinery. There
is seen the original model Of the

in construction and appearance,
but which finally revolntionised
wheat culture, and without which

gin, which led to the develope-
ment of this great industry, and
is believed by some people,
curious in such speculations, to
have exercised no little inf uence
in shaping political and social
questions affecting the country.
Tins original gin was patented by
Eli Whitney, March II, 1894,
nearly a century age, and was the
invention OF his leisure hours while
engaged as a schoolteachcr in the
South. Compared with the many
improvements now exhibited in
gins of the present day, it is much
in the category as the old wooden

have been no Pratt, with his rap

desvoring to ascertain the number
OF employees and condition OF

formed that 1t was ascertained
that the l6who were not borne ON the

tensibly doing service under him.
Further inquiry revealed the
fact that these persons were APP

were assigned by Dlckerson TO
do the duty of messengers
and laborers, ana that in some cases
no duty at all WAS required of them,
In other words, some OF them
were drawing salaries with
out rendering any service. Different
parties who had been connected with
