That the west has succeeded in alb
sorbing the best of the eastern miners
shows that, despite all arguments to
the contrary, the region lying west of
Chicago must henceforth and forever
more be considered the mecca of the
American wageworker. And this holds
good not only of unslsilled labor, but of
the highest-priced artisans.

FARM AND GARDEN.
A NEW CATTLE.TlE.

An InveDtion of Mr.. Georgeson, az the
Kansas state College.
As the time TO stable the cattle is
again near at hand it may be of inter
est to many breeders and stock owners
to get a description of new device for
fastening and releasing cattle in stalls,
which / have found highly satisfactory.
1t is a device of my own and had its
origin, as many similar things have, in
necessity. The college herd had for
many years been tied on q system
which was at once simple and conven-
lent. but which nevertheless had some
serious drawbacks for which could
find no remedy. A rope which passed
through the partitions between the
stalls was stretched over the managers
the whole length of each row of stalls,
and by a knot on each side of each
partition was held securely in place.
To this rope snap was tied in the
middle of each stall and the animal
was fastened by this snap by means of
a strap around the rsech.
This arrangement had some excel
lent points. 1t allowed the animal
much freedom. The head could be
moved freely in all directions, and the
rope being close to the neck it was i'm
possible for the animal to get its fore
legs over it; but it had its failings also.

WASTEFUL METHODS.
The Necessity OF Making Use of All
Products of the Farm.

The Necessity OF Making Use of All
Products of the Farm.
Farmers waste more than any other
class of business men. Why is it?
Farmer c. is going to market with 20
pounds of butter to-day. viii he carry
anything else? No, he can't bother to-
day. To be sure, there is more pie
plant and asparagus than the family
can eat; il might bring $3.50 to 81. 90.
but he doesn't care to fuss for that.
Then little later come strawberries.
but he can give away what the family
doesn't want if the nelghbors will pick
them themselves. As for early peas
there are hardly enough to pay for
fussing with them. He might pick
three peclss at as cents, but they soon
spoil or the birds carry them off. The
grocer tells him he will take all the
sweet corn he will bring and pay for
what he sells while he can take the
remainder home to feed the pigs. Here
is dollar or two extra and he can
carry it as well as not when he goes to
market with butter and eggs; but it is
a bother anyway. 1t is the same at
harvest time. If he cannot spare more
than u couple of barrels of APP
Piles, or five bushels of potatoes,
or two dozen of cabbages, squashes,
etc, he does not bother to find
market for so small quantity, and
perhaps he puts several dollars worth
of vegetables that he has no use for
into the cellar. or outdoor pit, simply
because he doesn't take the trouble to
sell them. Now. fancy. says a writer
in the Cleaner, l hear some man say;
The potatoes, etc, are worth some
thing to feed live stock in winter"
Does he feed them? Generally they
remain in the cellar until February or
March, when he carries out decayed
cabbages, apples, ETC.; and the pota-
toes have shriveled until he thinks
he'll let them so until planting time,
for he may need most of them. A mer-
chant often spends more time in selling
fifty or even twenty-five cents worth of
his stock, than in selling ffteen-dol-
lar dress pattern. We say that is his
business! II is farmers business to
try to sell his stock instead of letting

worth as much as any other business.
In the largest business establishments
il a bookkeeper's accounts fall short
few cents. he often spends hours of
valuable time trying to find out where
the error lies. A farmer needs to cal
culate as closely as any other business
man in order to be successful. Does
he do it?

hoistcd up. Before the miner nllowS

attaches q metal tag to the cart, 50 that
he may receive proper credit for his
work on the books of the company.
After the coal has reached the surface
1t is weighed, and the net weight placed
to the credit Of the man whose ticket
was found on the truck. 1t is, of course,
needless to add that all miners are paid
by the piece.
After the coal has been weighed it Ia

end of which is an immense screen,

ments. They are put up so as to allow
only a limited portion of the air from
the main shaft to go into any ono room.
Not particle of air is allowed to 60 to
waste, as carclcssness in this respect
might leopard the lives of all workmcn.
The tools of the miners are extremely
simple. They have picks, short and
very sharp and perfectly fat at the end.
Their drills are about an inch in diam.
eter and from six to ten feet long. After
hole is drilled to sufficient depth, the
anger is removed and powder put in the
hole. A fuse is then attached and
lighted. The explosion following this
operation makes O fearful noise. AZ
many rs twenty tons Of coal have been
loosened by one discharge in the mine
of which am writing.
Most of the coal now taken from
American mines is blown loose by pow
der or some other explosive. In former
years this work was performed by hand,
and in some portions of Europe the old
system still prevails. After the coal
has been looscned 1t Is broken into
pieces of various sizes Ivy the miners
with the aid Of their picks.
The social life in a mine is, Of course,
restricted and monotonous, but still the
busy workers find time to exchange an
occasional call with their fellows. When
one of the miners stands in need of
little gossip he simply shoulders his
pick and visits one of his chums in an
adjoining hole or takes a stroll through
the main street, where he can always
find more or less company.
From the description of these social
functions it must not be supposed that
miners life is an easy one, for such is
certainly not the case. To earn one
dollar and fifty cents day miner
must labor most industriously ten hours
q day amid surroundings that would
strike terror to the heart of the ordi.

must have both ends fastened to the
same partition or post as in Fig. .. The
chains for single stalls should be few
inches longer than the stall is wide in
order that they may sag some eight or
nine inches, which gives the animals
still greater freedom Each animal
must of course be fastened by itself,
hut it can be done from the alley in
front, which allows of more rapid work
than when the stalls are entered. All
things considered, know of no cattle
tie which offers the same advantages
The cattle are reeas ed instantaneous
~. which saves much time in handling
them; they are securely fastened, and
withal they have as much freedom and
comfort as it is possible to give them
and still keep them tied. The materi-
ais are cheap and can be had any
where; they should not be over twenty
five or thirty cents per head, and the
device is SO simple that anyone who is
handy with tools can put it up.-C. C.

pin passes through two pieces of gas

of the device is best shown in Fig. ?.

some of the Curious Predecessors Of the
Modern Pianoforte.

Some of the Curious Predecessor OF the
Modern Plan oforte.
Perhaps one of the most interesting
relics of antcdilu Wan date ever seen in
this city is an old piano which, few
days ago, was in a re pair shop on Rich
mond street. This old instrument is of
the spinet type and is S72 years old. 1t
Is thought to be the old est spinet harp
sichord in existence, and is owned in
Bristol. 1t is the product of John Hitch
cock, of London, Eng, and bears the
date of 1870 upon the front board over
the keyboard. In the South Kensington
museum there is an instrument of the
same make which has been carefully
preserved, and which is always an OBJ
jcct of curiosity to visitors to the mu-
scum. This instrument bears the date
of 1921, and was made at Bologna. The
Conservatoire at Paris is also the proud
possessor of similar instrument, which
is also a source of envy to antiquarians,
and was made two years after the Bo-
logna instrument on exhibition at Ken
sington.
As there appears to be no record of
the existence of any instrument previ-
Gus to 1920, it is safe to say that the
spinet piano in this state is the oldest
in the world. In outward appearance
the instrument is similar to the grand
piano of the present, although consider
ably smaller, but the mechanism pre-
pianoforte.
The spinet instrument was an i'm
provement upon what was known as
the clavichord. the tone of which. al
though weak, was capable, unlike that
of the harpsic chord or spinet. of increase
or decrease, rejecting the finest grada-
tions of the touch of the player In
this power of expression it was without
a rival until the piano was invented
The early history of the clavichord
previous to the fifteenth century rests
in profound obscurity. but it is said
that there is one bearing the date 1920,
having four octaves without the d
sharp and G sharp notes The spinet
was the nvention of the Venetian Spi-
Meta.
The action is unique. The instru-
ment is similar to small harpsichord
with one string to each note. The
strings are set in vibration by points of
quilts elevated on wooden uprights
known as jacks, and the depression of
the keys causes the points to pass up
ward, producing tone similar to that
of harp. Springs are used to draw
the quilts back into position. The key
board is arranged in a manner after the
present modern piano. - Providence
