ELECTRIC EARNING.
A New York Farmer Turns the Sod with
Trolley Plow.


Trolley Plow.
Now for the trolley pillow. The old
time farmer is out of date.
Electricity, the master force. which
by the end of the century will DOM
mate every field of human work ard
solve all the problems that have so long
baffied mankind, has been enlisted in
the most essential of mortal occupa-
agriculture.
The farming of the future is to lie
done by electricity. Dynamos and
wires will attend to the business CT
the big farm. The sonorol1s "gec
haw!" of the up-country soil-tiller will
he heard no more, and the farm hand
who would keep his job will have to be
thoroughly acquainted with ohms,
volts and amperes.
Edward NJ Bentley, of New York, has
just made a long step toward the es
tablishment of electricity as hard
working factor on the farm. He has
patented an electric pillow, which runs
back and forth across field and turns
up the soil in a fashion that would hay e
made pioneer farmers of a hundred
years ago stand dumb with amazement.
His invention calls into use the most
acknowledgements in the line of trans
mission of electric power. A power
house in a centrally located village can
furnish motive force for all the farm
work to be done within radius of
many miles.
Along the two opposite sides Of a
field, poles and wires are put up, and
between these, stretching directly
across the field, is stretched a third
wire, which serves as trolley upon
which the pillow travels. This wire is
slack, so that it may run through the
pillow continuance, which lets out wire
behind as it progresses and winds it in
at the front.
When the pillow reaches the end of a
furrow the current is automatically re-
versed, so as to start the machine back
again. Thus the pillow goes back and
forth until the whole field is traversed.
The ends of the trolley wire, as the
work progresses, travel along on the
wires strung alongside the field.-N.

FUTURE OF FARMING
A Steady Decrease In New Engiand's
Rural Population.

Rural Population.
Cndeniably the best crop that the old
farmers produced was men. They sent
forth these hardy young children of the
soil to strengthen and energize all the
higher forces of our civilization. Ii
might be unjust to say that they are not
doing it still, but it is to less extent,
relatively, than in what are now called
the good old days. The advantages of
education extend TO the boys on the
Farm more than ever before, it is true.
and they grasp them more generally
and more eagerly. But for what pur-
pose? To escape from their humdrum
environment and enter that larger and
more active world where the prizes as
well as the failures are greater. The
passion to see and enjoy life as il is
lived in the great centers of population
and business is more intense than il
ever was in the days that are past, and
education rather stimulates it than
therwise. Even the farmers them
selves have the infection. and if they do
not encourage they only weakly re-
strain their educated children from
turning their requirements to what
seems to them better account than til.
lage of the soil. Only a small proper
ton even of the graduates of our agri-
cultura colleges. though given a special
technical equipment for that service,
return 70 the farm. If they can gain
fortune and reputation and experience
III some other calling they frequently
like 10 resume farming as an avocation,
but only in comparatively rare in
stances is it adopted as life work.
These are hard facts, but we might
as well face them. The census reports
show steady decrease of population and
production in the rural portions of the
state, yet educational opportunities
were never before so general or avail
able as now. 1t would be a sad confess
sion that there was no remedy for this,
but the remedy has not vet been
found. Education benefits the farmer
as much as the lawyer, both in his BUSH
ness and his citizenship, and it should
not be held responsible for the depres-
sion in agricultural industry; but the
social pace is such that the husband
man cannot follow it. There must
enter into the business the elements
that make success along other lines.

become attractive TO the educated and
the ambitious.-Boston Transcript.

horses inside the stable. Then they
took hold of the thills, three on one
side and three on the other, and drew
q long hill into pine grove.
Wont the old Goat be puzzled 70
know where hrs coach is?'' said one fell
low, with laugh in which the others
joined.
'Old Goat" was term of affectionate
familiarity which the boys applied to
the professor behind his back, and
which really savored nothing of dis
respect.
The roguish youths INDUCED in
jokes and merriment as they tugged
the coach into a position out of which
it would be difficult to remove it. This
they had just accomplished when, TO
their CONSERVATION, Prof. Harrison
put his head out of the coach window,
his eyes twinkling, and said, in his
dignifed, slow way:
well, boys, you've had the fun of
hauling me down here, and now | must
request you to haul me back again"
Smiles fled, faces grew long, and the
boys stood aghast.
"All-right-sir," stammered one.
The professor settled back on the
cushions, resumed the book which he
had been quietly reading when the
stun" began, and the boys proceeded
to drag the coach back to the grounds.
How they worked! The hill was
never before half so long nor half so
steep, but after almost an hour of
putting and perSpiration the JOB was
done.
Then Prof Harrison opened the
coach door, and, descending, said, with
marked courtesy: Il thank you for my
ride; hope you have enjoyed it as
much as ! have"
"Yes, SIR" answered one of the boys
who knew not what else to say, and
felt that some response was called for.
There the matter ended, so far as
the professor was concerned, for he
never alluded to it again. The culprits
on their part resolved never to men
tion it, but it was too good story TO
! keep.-Youth's Companion.

FISH EATING GRASS.
Oregon Farmer Claims That Carp Are

Oregon Farmer Claims That Carp Are
Denuding His Meadows.
4 rancher whose place is ON the bot
tom along the Willamette slough, be-
low Holbrooll Station, was in the city
the other day to find out whether he
had recourse to the United States fish
commission for the Introduction of
carp into the rivers of this section.
He says these fish are destroying his
meadows by eating his grass and grub
bling up the roots. As the water over
flows his meadow the carp follow 1t
up in thousands, the small ones weigh
ing about three pounds pushing their
way up where the water is only three
inches or so in depth and clearing off
all vegetation, so that when the water
recedes he will have mud flats in place
Of meadows
lie says that while looking at the fish
eating mis- grass he got so mad that he
cook OFF his shoes and stockings and
went out into the shallow water and
attacked them with n hoe. He slashed
q lot of them in two, but when the drove
became alarmed and made for deem
water they bumped their noses against
his shins and came near knoclyinr him

THE PROFESSORS RIDE.
1t Wasn't as Much Fun for the Boys ~
They Thought 1t Would Be.

1t Wasn't as Much Fun for the Boys ~
They Thought 1t Would Be.
The late Prof. W. II. Harrison, who
for many years was at the head of a
popular boys school in Amelia county.
Va, was much loved and respected by
his many pupils, and had rare faculty
for managing them. HE wasn't for
ever nagging us, but, as some of us
learned by experience, he let the pun
ishment fit the crime" So said one of
his former pupils. now a prominent
lawyer in Richmond; and then he re-
lated the following story:
The professor was accustomed to
take a drive every sunny afternoon
in a heavy, old-fashioned coach drawn
by large gray horse. One day, shortly
after he had returned from his drive,
half a dozen of the boys espied a coach
standing in the driveway, where it had
been left temp ariIy. and were seized
with the idea that it would be great
sport to secrete it.
Chuckling softly among themselves,
they stole near to make sure that the
colored driver was busted with the
