Tuhe for stacking straw.

Pneumatic tubes have many uses. but
one of the latest is attracting a great
deal Of attention from it's novelty. This
is the tube for stacking straw. 1t is
built in sections and is controlled by
metal straps, piyots and arms. The
straw is drawn into the tube, carried
through II with great velocity, and, by
a turntable and swinging arrangement
like crane, is evenly distributed on the
stack.

Yankee cheese-mal,ers appear to be
letting Canadian cheese-makers get a
monopoly of the foreign trade. Dur
ing the fiscal year ending July J, 1895,
Canada exported cheese to the value of
Si4,253,O02. The value Of that exported
by the United States was S5,i95,539.
The value Of the Canadian exports OF
cheese increased 81 100000 a year since
1890. Our exports, on the contrary,
show a falling off.

Chicago Record: An Iowa boy re-
Gently passed through IN experience
which he will not forget if he lives to
be 100 years old. He is only 5 years
old. and one day when his father went
to the wheat field to drive the harvest
err he took him along and perched him
on the high seat at his side.
For u time all this was very inter
esting, but presently the little fe!l5w
grew tired and began to squirn and
complain. And then, just as his fath-
er was leaning over to look more close
~ at some of the machinery, off tum-
bled the little fellow to the conveyor.
He shrieked just once and his father
tried vainly to stop the horses. Eut
before he could ever slacken the speed
the boy had been driven up through
the elevator canvas with half a bun
Ill of wheat, the binding Irvine had
twisted swiftly around his neck ard
legs and he was rolled out on the wide
carrier securely bound in a wheat bun
die. He was almost choked and there
was a tiny bit of skin tori from his
shoulder, but otherwise he was unhnrt
when his father cut the string ard
helped him up again. But u wors.
frightened boy would have been hard
to find. ~

ing upon farming in the west because
they have been taught that one must
own u large farm, and have lots OF ac-
ricultural machinery to make n success,
and their limited means would hardly
permit of all this. Appointment eastern

man or the man with u moderate
amount Of money can not hope 10 So

Just at present the average eastern

dairyman. fru:t-growers, and all mixed
farmers, is probably better off on his
ten and twenty acres than his western
brothers on their hun'lred-acrc farms,
aud he is making n better living. Now
the conditions between the two are
somewhat different. and one must study
them carefully ii he would get at Il
proper understanding Of tho question
here p~ropuunded.
The eastern farmer is better off. be-
cause he has fonn.l out from experience
that ten acres are often quite enough
for one man to farm, and thar when Il
farm of this size is properly run it bays
a good living. His whole life is a
| steady one, aud not a speculative one.
The western man. witt, his hundreds of
acres, gamb!es. lie takes chances with

Issue. If his crop turns out well lie
makes a neat sum. but if weather is
against him he probably loses all and
brings n mortgage upon the place. A
few successive bad seasons breaks him
up completely. There is tho same
feverish excitement about this kind Of
farming as there is about stock spccula-
ton in Wall street. 1t is the cvcrlas,-
ing fever to strike it rich." to make
lots of money in q short time.
This has lccn the great trouble with
western farming in the past, and the
west is Just realizing that it needs farm
ers now. aud not farming spectators.
There is nc such chance 10 make any
big profit in the cast, and the dairymen
of New York aud Pennsylvania, the
fruit growers OF New Jersey and the
Hudson river and the general market
gardeners Of Massachusetts, settle down
quietly to their small farms and make
them pay because it is II steady job and
a sure one if properly worked.
There are plenty of Indications that
small farms are spreading through the
west, especially in the dairy districts.
Genuine farmers are now taking up the
land that the spectators failed with,
and they will do considerable in tho
next dozen years 10 raise mortgages.
Young farmers who understand their
business do . require large estates in
the west. as they have been taught to
believe. They will do much better 10
buy one-tcnth the amount of land, and
put the rest Of the money in the banl
or improvements. In the end it will
pay u better rate Of ~in...rcst.
