Unevenly Matched Tear

Unevenly Matched Teams.
The worst result of having the team
unevcnly matched In work Is that neith-
er Is uble to exert It's full power In pull
ing. The slow and fast each hinders
the other, and neither can do its best.
This Is practical basis for the ancient
injunction In the law Of Moses that the
OK and the ass should not be yoked to.
gether. There Is also need for due
proportion between the team and its
driver. The great majority Of farm
work requires that the driver shall
walk, and q slow team limits the
amount that an active, able bodied man
can accomplish. We well remember
while boy on farm blowing with an
OK team that could not be made to turn
over an acre a day. A smart horse team
with the same pillow would turn an acre
and a half or two acres. Such differ
ence as this explains why much farm
help fails to earn Its wages. The team
for farm work should be active rather
than plodding This activity is not at
all Incompatible with superior strength
and endurance.-American Cultivator.
The Farm Roller.
The value of a farm roller as an aid
in preparing ground for planting. or
sowing is not sufficiently realized. The
function of the roller on most farms is
to go once over piece Of grain that
has been sowed with an accompani-
ment of grass seed, to put the ground
into smooth condition for future now
ing. This use Of roller is all right.
but it is extracting only small part
of the value that can be got ont of it.
Nothing Is better for making fine the
soil, and getting IN admirable seed bed
than thorough rolling. followed by a
thorough narrowing. The roller breaks
up Jumps and clods and firms the soil

the subsequent narrowing. A roller
should be made in two sections so that

The Roller Pillow.
Patients who are entirely confined 10

wise reduced to condition of great
weakness, often complain that they are
perpetually slipping down in bed. An
attempt Is often made to obviate this
tendency by placing Il foot-stool at the
bottom Of the bed for the patient to press
his feet against. But when there is
great weakness. this support soon ceas
Is to be useful, for the muscles become
