ScRuBBING MACHINES.
A New Device Which Saves Lots of Hard
and Disagreeable Work.

A New Device Which Saves Lots of Hard
and Disagreeable Work.
Judging by the rate at which invent
ors are busying themselves in devils
ing appliances for saving domestic
labor, there will soon be little left for
the housemaid to do. "Housemaid's
knee" at all events, is . thing of the
past, and the floor scrubbing of the
future is to be done by machinery. In
the course of time, the scrubber will
undoubtedly be connected up to the
electric motor, which does the rest of
the household work, but in houses I'M
provided with the electric plant the ma
chine will in the meantime be operated
by hand. 1t is something like lawn
mower, and runs on four wheels Above
the two front wheels is q tank, which
contains clear water, that may, of
course, be heated, if necessary. The
water is supplied to rotary brushes at
the bottom of the machine, and these,
revolving IN an opposite direction to
the motion of the machine itself, scrub
the floor. The dirt and water are car
ried into another tank over the two
back wheels. The wiping apparatus
consists OF an endless band of absorbent
material. made specially for the pur-
poses. This band is pressed on the floor
by rotary brushes, SO that the cloth
accommodates itself to the inequalities
of the floor. The cloth is rinsed and
squeezed out automatically as it leaves
the floor and passes through the tank at
the back. 1t is not necessary to sweep
the floor before scrubbing.

Economy rhat Doe,n,t Paw.

Use plenty of seed for farm and gar
den crops 1t is not safe to be too
economical with seed unless there are
indications at the time of planting
which insure termination. The loss of
one or two weeks time early in the
spring, by being compelled to replant,
is not only an expenditure of labor, but
is also costing time that cannot be re.
gained Some crops require long sea-
SON during which to mature, and the
best growth is made early in the year
When large portion of the seed fails
to terminate the crop may be either
a total loss or fail to pay its cost.

How Do It So That They WIN Not

In fence building, one can very easily
spend plenty of money. and if not care
full in selecting the kind of fence, and
building it, one will be disappointed IN

nothing better than either the smooth

One of the most unpleasant features

They are in the trough, on top of it,

ordinary trough and spout are used.
