THE KIND THAT PAYS.

able.
One point needs to be emphasized at
this time: Farmers should inquire
more closely into the wants Of local
markets, and try to meet their re-
quirements. 1t is surprising to what
an extent the interior towns depend
upon large cities--perhaps thirty OF
Fifty miles away-for products which
should be supplied by nearby farmers.
In the more thickly populated parts
of the country fresh vegeta bles, poui-
try, eggs, meat and dairy products are
always in demand, at fairly remunera-
tive prices, yet how little Of the money
paid for these commodities goes into
the pockets of farmers, who should 1e-
ceive it all. In fact, it is no uncommon
sight to see farmers buying for their
own tables vegeta bles which by little
forethought might have been raised
on the farm and made a source Of
profit.
We are not advocating the idea that
the general farmer should be mar
ket gardener, but we'll provided gar-
den or truck PATCH should be an adj
junct to every farm. 1t should be in
unfailing source Of good things for the
home and a profit to it's owner. The
farmer engaged in growing staple
crops has little time to devote to other
matters; but at present low prices
might it not pay better to grow less
wheat, corn and potatoes and give
more attention to producing choice
vegetables, to improving and increas-
ing the flock of poultry and to sup
planting scrub stock with improved
breeds of cattle? Early and late veg
etable, fresh eggs, poultry and choice
butter are always in good demand. and
farmers should produce these commod-
titles, at least to such an extent as to
supply their own families and the de-
mands of neighboring market or min

Sewing machines are usually driven
by a treadle to which one or both OF
the feet may be applied. This an
swers very well for the stitching Of
exceptionally stout materials, and for
the purposes of various machines
driven with the foot by men such as
turner's or printers, but for average
sewing work it has the drawback of
requiring more effort than is neces-
saly. The extra fatigue caused in this
way is serious consideration in the
case OF females employed all day long
at the machine. A modified treadle
has been introduced ny which the
labor of the worker will be greatly
economical without any sacrifice Of
efficiency. The ordinary treadle is
horizontal when at rest, and has to be
forcibly depressed by the foot in order
to turn a fyWheel by means of a
crank. In the new system the fly
wheel and crank are retained, but the
horizontal treadle is replaced by q
vertical one, which is hinged to the
under side of the table On which the
machine rests, and hangs down almost
to the door, where it ends in a hori-
Zont2i platform for the foot. The /
