A Giant Harvester.

This season, in the great wheat growing
section of the San joaquin Valley, giant
harvester has been in use which cuts,
threshes and sacks the wheat growing on
one hundred acres daily. The machine,
when all sickles are in use, cuts the enor-
nous swain of fifty two feet Eight or
ten men are able to handle it easily, and it
turns out from 400 to 1900 sacks of wheat
| in ten-hour day.
The machine is arranged with a central
body, which is the regulation twenty six
loot harvester. On each side of this main
sickle is a thrteen-foot sickle When the
machine began work this year, the trac-
ton engine, which was built especially for
it, pushed the enormous harvester through
the heavy grain of the islands in the San
Joaquin River as easily as team of horses
would draw wagon on a road. When,
however, the softer ground is reached, the
weight of the machine proved to be SO
great that the wheels sank into the soil,
and the traction engine could not perform
its work as rapidly as it should have done
hence there was a great loss of power To
remedy this, the side sickes had to be re-
moved
The output of the machine in this new
form is 800 to 800 sacks per day. Next
season the owners will use it on upland
only, where they will be able to employ
all three of the sickles, thus making it the
largest harvester in the world. Harper S

Abandoned Farms.
uitless search for them In Franklin County

A Fruitiess search for them In Franklin County
SO much has been said in the papers
about the abandoned farms of northern
Maine that we have been taking short
tours about Phillips in search Of them.
We were told that they were numerous
and easily found.
Our first drive was over the Mile Square
in Avon. We looked on the right hand
and on the lett, as closely as we could for
the towering mountains that so attracted
our attention, but all along the way were
clean door yards, tidy barns, and mainly
well furnished comfortable houses. The
fields were green with a luXurant second
growth, no signs Of decay, but on the CON
trary, it seemed to us Mile Square never
looked so prosperous before.
We tried Tory Hill with the same re-
suit, if possible, a little intensified. Then
to make sure of finding some of the evil
dences OF decay we started for West
Phillips Going up on the east side of the
river for two on three miles we still
found fine, well cultivated farms. At
last, when we were quite tired of hunting,
above Bragg Corner we found farm with
soil mainly OF pumple stone, and nearly
on edge at that, that was abandoned. 1t
should have been left to grow up in birch
Beyond, where the Wings and Pres
colts lived long ago, and still all looked
prosperous. The hilly Buzzell farm be-
tween the forks of the Sandy is being kept
green by the enterprising sons of the
family, who are making it summer
home. What grand places some of these
high hill farms are for summer houses
for city people. Some day many of them
will be taken up that way. But as we are
still in search of abandoned farms, we go
on up the Reed intervale where Hodges
and Lakin are keeping green the acres
formerly belonging to VIM. and Geo.
Reed. Here is another city summer home,
on the old Esquire Reed farm.
Still farther up the little stream where
the Beedys and Calden and the Phono-
graph 'Border'' live, the farms are bet
ter than forty years ago.
A ride to Strong on the west side and
return on the east told the same story.
The farms never looked so we'll before
Where are the abandoned farms? Are
they myth, or are they reality? If
there are any, what is the cause, and is
there remedy? Phillips Photograph.

The Uses of Aluminium.

In reply to the query of practical men
as to the uses of this new metal, the
manufacturers say that it is adapted to a
thousand purposes for which strength and
durability, combined with extreme light
ness, are essential requirements. 1t
serves, for example, as a sheathng of
vessels. 1t will be remembered that on
the American racing yacht Defender alu-
minum plates Il feet long, sic inch thick,
and from 22 to 80 inches in width were
used above the water-line; these plates
had very slight alloy of copper. The
serviceability of aluminium in salt water
has not been fully tested. Owing to the
action of alkalis on the pure metal, an
alloy is required. Aluminium is also we'll
fitted to serve as roofing material Bulk
for bulk, it is already as cheap as copper
and cheaper than nickel or tin. 1t lends
itself readily to the various processes of
stamping or spinning. The greater part
of last years output was sold in sheet
form. Aluminium has entered to con-
siderable extent into the manufacture Of
bicycles, having been successfully used
for almost every part of the bicycle in
which metal is employed at all. One
company casts the entire frame of the
machine of an aluminium alloy, and it is
said that the strength Of the frame thus
made is only surpassed by that of the
highest grade of nickel steel frames The
various parts and fittings of bicycles are
made from aluminium by several manu-
facturers, and many tons of the metal
have been consumed in bicycle factories
Probably the most important use to which
aluminium will be put, at least in the i'm
mediate future, will be for culinary and
household utensils. Besides being very
light, and hence far less cumbersome than
any other metal of equal strength and
durability now used in cookery, aluminium
is practically incorrodible. Professor
Jameson asserts that no food now known
to man can affect this metal in the slight
est degree. 1t is wholly free from every
form of poison and it will not faint food.
These are qualities that are possessed by
neither iron, copper, tin, nor lead.
Furthermore, it is better conductor Of
heat than of any the other metals.

Idsl loIly-HVe years VI IL III a great city
and from my own observation | am per
suaded that it is easier to cultivate a
strong spiritual life in the country than it
is the towns. | recall now rural church
in my native region to which the farmers
came for miles around, unhindered by the
deepest mud in March or the deepest
SHOWS in January. Two services on the
Lord S day did not weary them: the pas
tor gave them strong meat on Sunday,
and a grip of his hand during the week.
In revival seasons he got some help from
a naighboring pastor; for the joyful work
of leading souls to Christ was not put out
''on commission to itinerant strangers.
Church members worked for spiritual
harvests just as they worked for harvests
of wheat and corn on their own farms,
The long winters were especially favor
able for spiritual activities
Now what was possible in rural COM
munities half century agois equally pos
sible now; it is realized now when pastor
and people come up to the full measure
of their duty. If all rural ministers would
scour their parishes to gather in the neg
lecters of the Sabbath and the sanctuary.
and if church members would keep the
spiritual atmosphere of their hearts warm
and the spiritual life of their church ac-
tive and aggressive, this sorrowful shame
and scandal of religious decline in the
country region would be soon abated 1t
was from the rural parishes that the
mighty ministers like Payson and Bush
nell and Finney and Bishop Simpson
came, and the mighty missionaries like
Judson and Spaulding and Goodell; they
reared our leading Christian laymen and
"mothers in Israel" On thelife of the
country churches depends, in large meas
ure, the social, moral and religious health
of our nation. Decline there means decay
and death. A new spiritual life there means
new life everywhere Gle that hath
ears to hear, let him hear"' [Independ-
