Modern Improvement in Farming


Among the many helps to make farm
ing easier in the last few years. says a
farmer in the New York World, the
windmill should not be forgotten. 1t is
one OF the greatest boons to the stock
raisers that has ever been in use. Where
fifty or seventy-fve head of cattle are
kept-and this is not an unusual num-
ber--to water them for one dav sufii-
ciently, would require the time and
strength of oneshan at the pump for two
hours, and nnthing is more fatiguing,
whereas with wind power it is easily
done. Ten years ago a windmill was
quite an unusual sight, now the Western
prairies are dotted over with them.
Wherever practice has shown their i'm
perfections they have been improved.
Some are made so that when the wind is
too strong the fans that compose the
wheel, close together, so that it must
needs go slowly. Some wheels are made
SO that they turn edgewise to the wind
when not pumping, thus being safer
from damage. A lever keeps them in
gear when the wind would otherwise
throw them out.
The tower, in whose top the large
wheel is fixed, must needs be higher
than any adjacent tree tops or they will
intercept the wind when it is desirable
10 turn the mill; unless the tower ex
ceeds the gable in height the wind when
In some quarters, will come whirlinp
around the building to the risk of dam
age to the wheel Many dig the large
stock well, over which the mill is reared.
IN front of the barn, and with iron pipes
conduct the water underground, after it
has been pumped, to the watts in the diff
ferent yards where the cattle are kept
Ihis plan gives the cattle purer water TO
drink than if the we'll were sunk in the
yards.
One of the greatest inconvenience at
tending the use of windmills are the ice
storms which occasionally occur
The ice adheres to the fans in the
wheel, obstruotlng the working of il.
and nothing can be done to remove it,
but wait until it thaws, which is usually
but few hours.
The wheel at intervals needs oiling,
and it needs a cool head to mount the
ladder, which is always part of the
frame, and oil the works.
Sometimes gale will strike the wheel.
which is usually about ten feet across.
with such force that it falls to the ground
and is demolished, when it must be re-
placed by a new one. 1t is found that
the higher the tower on which the wheel
rests, the less it is likely to be injured
by high winds, as gale expends its
force for mischief nearer the earth than
is supposed.
Windmills wear much faster on ac-
count OF the wind power which runs
them.

NUPTIAL NOVELTIES.
The Queer way in which Some Weddings
Are Celebrated.

The Queer Way in which Some Weddings
Are Celebrated.
At the bottom Of good many strange
developments of civilization which we
owe to America lies q passion for novel
ty for its own sake, and not for any
ultel'ior benefits which is produced by
1t. People who dislike the old hum
drum methods find all round them a
society equally fond of ''new depart
ures;" and in a democratic land the
unusual is not always frowned upon as
being necessarily wicked. American
couples have before now been married
in balloons, in railway cars, and even
in bathing machines.
The individuals who delight in these
social antics have no desire to shock
:hoir neighbors or to do any thing that
will be dubbed grossly iniquitous; they
only choose to act for themselves and
to do things in their own way, to step
out of the rut for time. They will be
able to talk afterward about their we'd
ding as having been determined under
unique circumstances; their children
will proudly boast how "thcir papa and
mamma were married in balloon" or
in a box on wheels near the briny deep,
as the case may be.
Who can say but that some day a
bridegroom will astonish the specta-
tors, his mother-in-law, especially, by
appearing rs Robin Hood. in a tasteful
suit of green, with culver slung on his
backP And it would only require one
step further for the officiating clergy
man to don the vestments generally
associated with the name ofFriar Tuck.
Or tho bridegroom might be married
as Orlando and the bride as Rosalind.
In our English weddings-we know
not how the Americans manage this
detail-it is usual for few select and
favored individuals to kiss the bride in
the vestry when the whole performances
is over; it would be obviously impossi-
BILE for this special feature to be omit
ted. and equally inappropriate for the
bride to be kissed in public. Therefore
it would be essential to have an i'm
promptu vestry at hand-say tho hol-
low of an old tree---in which. besides,
the register could be signed and the
usual fees paid. A pleasant lunch out
OF doors at the conclusion Of the cerc-
mony, a. far and faint imitation Of the
lawn at Ascot, would be ever so much
nicer than the stiff and formal wedding
breakfast, or lunch, which everybody
abominates. London Telegraph.

Onite a large crowd, composed mostly Of
ladies, assembled at the Island base ball
park, yesterday afternoon, TO see a match
game between the insurance men and
bankers Of the city. There were lots Of
amusing sights in that game and the po
sitions of the men were changed about so
that one could not tell much sbout the
game. Rice and noneil pitched for the
insurance men and Irwin and Robinson
caught. The pitchers were hit hard by the
h7rkers who made themselves very tired
cha.ipg each other around the bases. For
the bankers, Hall pitched and Singleton
caught. Their work was good. Sam Nor,
ton ump,red on balls and strikes, and
F. c. Mitchell made the decisions in base
rpuning. He is a banker and the way he
roasted the poor innocent insurance men
was caution. Mr.. Norton had been 'in-
sulted" with an oller of hundred by the
insurance men on this side of the rver, hut
when he reached the other eide the bankers
showed up $40 better, and that settled it.
After using up halt pad Of paper in an
attempt to keep a record of the game, a
