The English frowned down the plan
to build tunnel under the sea from
Calais to Dover. They did not want the
French any nearer to them, they said.
The same objection, however, does not
hold good against connecting Ireland
with the British isle by tunnel. Such
an enterprise is now OH foot. The tun-
mel will be the most tremendous one ev-
er built or planned. It will start from
the Scottish coast and run under the
Irish sea, called the North channel,
striking the coast of Ireland at point
several miles north of Belfast. Railway
traffic through the tunnel is expected to
be so great that it will pay 6 per cent
on the cost of construction. This will
be $35, 900, 900. The capital is already
subscribed, and the government is ex-
aiming the plans. A syndicate will
construct the work. England apparent
" can build tunnel across from Scot
land to Ireland, but Americans cannot
even make one under the Hudson river
or East river at New York.

The Wlndstacker.

From franklin Qnd.) Democrat.
In our trade and agricultural ex-
changes I'VE note some discussion
concerning the merits Of the Pneu-
matte or Wind stacker. We believe
the farmers of Johnson county, situ-
ated as they are, in one Of the best
agricultural regions In the world,
are to be felicitated for their excellent
Judgment In adopting improved
methods in farming, without being
governed by prejudice or hearsay.
TO the farmers of johnson county,
who have been familiar with the
Wind stacker since it's introduction
In 1891. discussions at this time con-
corning the merits of the Wind stack
er must he amusing. When they
know that they haye straw stacks
that have stood for three, four and
five years with the straw bright and
clean a few inches below the surface,
they certainly cannot help wonder
ing why the Wind stacker could any,
where be CONDEMNED because the straw
would not keep. The geographical
position OF the county, the whole of
which lies within forty miles Of the
capital city of the state, makes it
readily accessible to the agents Of
all the agricultural implement manu-
facturers. For that reason, this
county is particularly favored in
having the first opportunity to re-
ceive and Judge of new Inventions.
We suppose the contests by agents
for sales of machinery are as keen
here as they could, possibly be any
where. If, THEREFORE. there should he
any weaknesses or defects in a ma
chine, the agents of competing ma
chinery would be swift to discover
them and point them out to, buyers.
The fact is, that thresherman IN
this county to-day without a Wind
stacker. has very little to do. and
none of them thinks of buying a new
machine without it. Farmers will
no longer :. endure the disagreeable
and arduous labor required in stack
ing straw, nor can they secure hands
in a busy season to do such work.
The manufacturer of a threshing ma
chine in this day, which is not
adapted to work In connection with
the Wind stacker, has no sale for his
goods IN this county, and we are sur
prised that farmers or thresherJueD
in any locality would think Of using
old time methods or machinery not
adapted for the best use OF progress
sive improvements.
