Two "YIads."


There are some human creatures
who. from mere innocence, are no re-
'specters OF persons. They find COM
'rade Of any age or condition. aud the
Individual relation is all that i'm
dresses them.
AT one time. when De Quincy was
living ut Lasswade. in simple and
friendly relations with the people. who
respected him. not as writer, but a
good ne!ghbor. he formed a very de-
lightful friendship with a little child,
"a boy Of four years. This lad. n
nephew of one of the housema!ds. was
the constant companion of the great
man, and would forsake any amuse-
Cnent for the pleasure of walking
round dull little garden With him.
One day somebody heard this con-
versation between the two comrades.
"'What dye call yon tree:' asked the
child.
De Quincy considered. and then
said. with careful deliberation: ~ am
not sure. my dear. hut think it may
be n laurustinus."
The child interrupted! him with some
scorn: "A laurustinus' Lad. dye no
ken rhododcndron:"
At tllat time the lad" must have
been about 40 years old.

cupying his comfortable spring seat,
found it no hardship to plOw his fields at
the rate Of four or five acres per day.
Then came the jolnted or hinged harrow,
covering twelve feet wide Of ground, Op-
Grated by three or four horses abreast,
mellOwing and smoothing the surface OF
two or more acres per hour. After the
harrow came the wheat drill and the
corn planter, performing in the most
perfect manner prOdigies Of work never
dreamed Of in the widest imaginatiOns
Of tho old woodland farmers. These
were for the preparation Of the ground
and the planting Of crops,
For purposes Of culture there came the
sulky cultivStor. With a spirited pair
Of stout horses, the farmer on his shaded
seat could plOw four burrows at once and
thus stir the soil and destroy the weeds
on the two sides Of one row Of growing
corn as fast as his team could travel.
The perfect culture Of Ten acres Of young
corn in ten hours by one man and two
good horses was not considered extraor-
binary.
The snsIl-grsin crops needed no cul-
ture after planting with the drill. For
the harvesting Of them machines drawn
by horses came into use in the 40's, and
by successive improvements there was
ultimately produced the swift SELF
binder, the great king Of the harvest
field, born Of prairie agriculture and the
legitimate offspring Of the great germinal
act Of Abraham Lincoln in 1880. With
that self-binder On experienced driver
could, with team Of four well-trained
horses, cut and bind twelve to fifteen
acres Of wheat in as many hours. Some
times the driver was the farmers wife or
daughter. Then the farmer, with two
minor sons to help him, could shock the
bundles as fest as bound, and thus, in
less than dozen days, a field of 100
scres was harvested and made ready for
the thresher without hired help.
AS soon as needed the thresher ap-
peared-at first rude, but successful.
Later on it was greatly perfected. 1t
was operated by either horse or steam
power, and with good thresher, dozen
men and few extra tesms the farmer
could thresh clean and place in the bin
500 to 800 bushels Of wheat in ton or
twelve hours. The grasses Of the great
prairies and the farm meadows were also
managed with mowers, rskes and hay
stackers, all operated by horse power,
with great saving Of time and cost.

like Abe Lincoln would ma NO ulLlcuICy
in managing a team OF five or six yoke OF
oxen. A smart stroke Of the lash be-
tween the eyes Of the near OK, followed
quickly by ''CraOk Of the whip" ON the
hips Of the off one, would bring the team
toward the driver more promptly and
effectively than could possibly be done
with line in the handS OF the stOutest
man. After q short training, the strokes
Just mentioned were seldom necessary.
Merely the word Of command, accom-
panied by threatening motion OF the
whip, was usually sufficient,
The fact that young Lincoln drove
team Of "Gour yoke Of oxen" proves that
he had adopted the new system OK train
ing, and that he contemplated an attack
on the Illinois prairies. And as soon as
he got his fathers little farm in readiness
he tried his first experiment. Afterwards
during the same summer "he broke fifty
acresOf prairie with four yoke Of oxen"
for others. There must have been de-
sign in the act. He came prepared for
the job. Otherwise, the families would
have moved in autumn (the usual NOV
ing season), when the roads were good
and the weather fine. Halt the team
would then have been ample for moving
purposes, and the men would have had
all winter to chop and clear the land for
the next summers crop. So then we
must admit that Mr.. Lincoln's attack on
the prRiries was not accidental, but, il
you please, "with malice aforethought."
The conquest was peaceful one, but in
it's ultimate results it had far exceeded
in Importance the combined cOnquests
Of Alexander and Napoleon.
II has been asked whether Mr.. Lincoln
contemplated or suspected the tremen-
dous Importance and ultimate results Of
his attack on the prairies in 1880. Ger
tainly not. Neither did Robert Fulton
suspect or imagine the tremendous re-
suits to follow his invention Of steam.
boat which he thought might be made
TO run ''sight miles an hour" But that
Mr.. Lincoln was q born inventor, and
watched with an intelligent and intense
interest every step Of industrial progress,
is proved by his inimitabIe lecture on
"Young America" at Springfield in 1860.
The fact is, Abe Lincoln and Young
America were cousins german, and
neither Of them should be judged by the
rules applicable to common humanity.
They were both errstiC and liable to do
very great things with unsuspeCting in
nocence and ease.
The first rude plow, drawn by four to
six yoke Of oxen, and opening furrow
some twenty TO tWenty-four inches wide,
was very encouraging success. With
il one man and his team, with smart
lad Of Is to help manage the oxen, could
break in one day three acres Of land. In
three or four days they could conquer
and prepare, ready Cor use, as much Of
natures wild domain as the man and
boy could have chopped and cleared in
the thick woods in 90 many months.
Yet that rude. bar-shaar plow with
wooden mold-bOard, hltched behind q
pair Of wheels ton feet from the team,
soon gave place 70 successive improve
menta, until ultimately we find the

led me to discovery. That was that

mostly Of tall, lean men would, when
the evidence was sufficient, never have
the slightest hesitation about fixing ex-
treme sentence. On the other hand, a
jury where short. fat men predominated
in number would occupy twice rs much
time in finding its verdict. and when
brought in it would generally be a term
Of imprisonment for the murderer. -
