The Blessed Farm.

A great many business institutions
are passing into the hands of receiv-
ers. But the farm, that solid and
enduring Ameril an industry, knows
no receiverships and assignSs. 1t
does not go into bankruptcy courts
1t keeps right on taking care of itself
and its owner, supporting his fam ly,
schooling his children and turning
out first-class material for American
citizenship and contributing fresh
blood to the other industries. Blessed
is the farmer whose path in life,
though well worn with daily toll,
leads to health, longevity. stability Of
character, honesty Of purpose and an
abiding prosperity. Banks may fail,
factories close, stores pass into the
hands of the Sheriff, professional men
struggle for bare existence and the
common labOrer hunt vainly for a
job, but the farmer has enough to
eat and the wherewithal To be
clothed and daily he views his treas
ures Of field, orchard, granary and
forest without fear of financial pan
les Daily he finds companionship
not only with his human kind but
amid his flocKs and herds, in admin
istering to whose natural wants he
himself receives beneGiction worth
far more than the pride of station or
the vain allurements of society life
in the cities
Blessed is the lot of the farmer and
never is its benefcencc more strik-
ingly portrayed than in times like
the present when other industries
are paralyzed and unhappy men in
other vacations pass sleeplers nights
because Of the darkening prospects
of the coming day. Burlington

bullets, or fire shots singly-at the
rate Of about 400 shots per minute
the crank being turned at steady
rate all the time. The gun may be
mounted on field carriages, parapets,
embrasures, and on all types Of naval
mouutings. On board ship the guns
are arranged so as to be actuated
both by hand and by electricity.
In using electricity the main current
from the ships dynamo Is led to a
smaller motor connected with the
shaft which works the gun. Great
rapidity of fire is obtained with this
latter arrangement, 1000 shots per
minute having been fred accurately
in recent experiments. BY the APP
plication of electricity as power,
two men can effectively operate the
gun, one to aim and fire it, the other
to supply the ammunition. Another
important and novel feature Of the
Accles gun is the feed boxes. Instead
of being made In packages tied with
strings, or being carried to the gun
in heavy boxes and then thrown into
hoppers, the cartridges are placed
fat in cardboard cases, and lie on a
thin, continuous futed strip Of tin.
The cartridges are thus packed for
use at the mandatory, and are not
changed in arrangement until placed
in the breech Of the gun ready for
