The Electric Motor IN Asraesiss

The Electric Motor IN AgricultOR
Farmers, as a class. are not glysAl
to new fads, but they have a quick
eye for any invention that means
solid saving in work or money. III d
significant that more electric nlotol6
have been sold for agricultural pJlys
poses within the last nine month";
than in any previous year. Electricity
Is now used on great numbers OF farms
for lighting the buildings and driving
machines of various kinds, and wherN
manual labor is usually scarce the ada
vantage of such ready and effective
servant is immense. Some doubt havx
ing been thrown upon the economy of
using electric power for threshing In
stead of horses, q farmer has written
to an electrical journal giving the res
suits that he has attained. He used
to thresh with three pairs of horses
which worked machine of 500 revOs
buttons per minute. The horses were!
changed four times day. He now
uses an electric motor. He finds, t0s
begin with, that his threshing machine
is saved an immense amount OF wear
and tear, as its working is smooth and
even. Formerly his six horses threshE
ed in one hour 4.2S tons of barley !:
now the electric motor threshes 5.6G
tons in the same time He uses elec-s
trio power for every operation on his,s
farm that it can be applied to, andss
says he saves money every time.

East Via The Great Lakes.

The Northern Steamship Line is an
Important link in the Great Northern
anscontinental system. 1t gives d.
Dct connection between Duluth,
hyperion, The 500, Mackinac Island,
Detroit, Cleveland, Buffalo and the
Mast. practically extending the Grea t
Northern to within 400 miles of the
atlantic seaboard. During the year
Be5 there are two magnificent steel
anilt steamships in service, the North
AAnd' having been added for duty this
year to- run reverse trips with the
Northwest" There is nothing finer
IN Che way of accommodations to be
hand on any other ships afoat. These
steamships make almost railroad time
ID the delightful trips between Duluth
and Buffalo. twas thought when the
northwest" started last year that the
hssffic would come mainly from the
7Knrist classes, but owing tothe steam
ship's superior speed and splendid
16cilltles, the business men took ad-
santage of it and patronized it to an
extensive and gratifying degree. Mer-
GAants and others who have eastern
sMps in view can make prompt and
speedy time by the lake route and en-
Joy the while one of the finest fresh
water journeys in the country on one
nj the finest ships in the world.
4 The Northwest leaves Duluth ON
Mondays and the s'North Land' on
Fridays at 800 p. NJ, after the arrival
a the Eastern Minnesota train from
&..PatA |and Minneapolis. These
ships are so regular in their movement
ahat in the trip of 700 miles from Du-
.hah to Buffalo there is but little varia-
ADn in schedule time in arriving and
departing at the different ports. 1t is
Dideal trip and no one should 60 east
szai back without using the lake route
zane way at least.

The Way Illinois md WISCONSIN
Come to Get Their Nicknnme.
IF there had been no badgers in
Wisconsin," said a native Of that
state, wisconsin would not be known
as gSe Badger State. and vet it did
not receive the name because badgers
we're there> Thcre We're very few
white pesss3 jim Wisconsin Territory
In its ea ~ Ways. the population be-
ing confined to the military posts, the
missionary and trading stations, and
the leading fnining regions in the
southwestern part of the Territory.
The miners We're of two classes, men
who worked the mines all the year
round, and men who came up frcm
the Illinois country in the spring and
worked until the fall, when they re-
turned to their prairies and groves.
The miners who We're permanent
jewellers in the region didn't bother
to put up cabins or even huts. In fact,
material for such dwellings was not
abundant. They simply dug holes in
the sides of the hills large enough
to give them room to sleep and cook
in. Nowadays those burrows would
perhaps be called dugouts. but as they
closely resembled the subterranean
homes of the badgers they We're
promptly called badger holes. and the
miners who occupied them were called
badgers.
Any one who cares to tramp through
that part of Wisconsin to-day will
come upon deep excavations in the
rocks-regular quarry holes, bearing
every evidence of having been made
long ago. And so they We're. Some
of them were excavated sixty years
ago or more. They We're the work of
the lead mines who went up from
Illinois in the spring to the mining
region. They being there only for
short season did not mine by digging
shafts as the permanent miners did,
nor did they live in burrows. They
blasted the surface rock, making large
pits by their work, seeking what was
called the float lead and ore that was
easily obtained near the top. They
occupied the pits they made, as the
other miners did their hillside
burrows.
sowing to the similarity Of the
migrations Of these quarry miners to
those of that familiar fish which goes
up stream in the spring and down
again in the fall, they soon became
known as suckers, and their pits in
the rocks We're called sucker holes. In
the course of years the names badger
and sucker came to be applied to the
entire people of Wisconsin and Illinois.
Many of the original badger and
suckers became the leading citizens of
their respective localities and helped
make the country's history. When
Wisconsin was admitted to the Union
the badger was placed on her coat
Of arms in recognition of this fact;
and it was from the miners who
quarried in the rocks of Wisconsin
that Illinois got her name of the
Sucker State.''
