D o WINTER WORK..

A Potato PIanter-Cost $1.5O and
Three Days Time-How 1t Operates.
The potato planter shown in the cut
has been in use in this neighborhood
for three years, says a Rural New
Yorker correspondent. 1t cost me $3.50
and three days time and works as sat
isfactorily as a $50 Or $50 machine. An
old moving machine frame and wheels
from the fence corner of one neighbor,
a spring seat, a lifting lever and sever
al old castings from a discarded binder
of another. a pair of Killers from an old
wooden frame, five tooth cultivator, a
new shovel pillow point from the store,
some nails, bolts and a little old lumber
were the materials.
The wheels are placed as far apart
as 1 desired the rows of potatoes to be,
SO as to use the wheel mark for a
guide, avoiding the use of q marker.

A RABBIT TRAP.

ut is a rapid firing gun and catches
both going and coming and always re-
sets itself. a hole should be dug in
the ground to receive a box or barrel
and deep enough SO the top is just even
with the surface Of the ground. The
trap is then placed on the box with
the fall doors directly over it. Cover
the sides of the box on each side of
the trap and throw a few weeds or
brush over it all, leaving the ends of
the trap uncovered, and your work is
complete. No bait is required. The
rabbits are attracted by the brush
heap, and when once there they see
the opening and try to pass through 1t
and are trapped. To make the trap
take two boards / by s, 3h or four feet
long, for the sides and two boards / by
4, a feet long, for the top and bot
tom. The top and sides should be nail
ed together first, then saw the bot
tom board, leaving the fail doors each
about a foot long. Do not saw square
across, but leave d beyei, SO that the
doors will catch when they fall back
In place.

0 PRAIRIE E

LULLED TOO OFT TO SLEEP.
The laws Of gods and men he broke,
Right wept for him, and Conscience
spoke
And stung with words that dashed like
knout,
Till, seeing that he was found out,
He salved the wounds of Conscience
DER
With specious argument. Once more
Right wept and Conscience slept.
Right wept again another day,
And called Conscience aloud, to fay
Him in his sins. But a great change
Had fallen IN Conscience and a strange
Dull, listless voice, empty of sting
Spoke droningly. Honor took wing,
Right wept and Conscience slept.
Right, grieved again, called long and
loud
But Conscience lay, as meath a shroud,
Dull, dead and cold; lulled oft to sleep,
Stricken with a lethargy and deep.
Despairing. Right in terror cried,
Still Conscience lay there, stupefied,
Right wept, and Conscience slept.
For Right may cry and Honor weep
But Conscience lulled too oft to sleep,
Is blind to tears and deaf to cries,
And like a drugged giant lies,
It's lids like lead, its keen eyes dull,
And for its power, more pitiful,
When Honor weepS and Conscience
sleeps.

The shovel plow is bolted to a solid 3
by 3 piece about two feet long, the 9TH
er end of which is placed solidly
against the under side of the tongue
and hinged so that it can be raised and
lowered by a lever to which the point
lis attached by a chain. The lever is
shown just in front of the wheel and
near the whiftietrees. A rude box of
three or four bushels capacity is built
between and over the wheels, slanting
toward the seat, so that, as the pota-
toes are used out Of the real end, those
remaining will roll toward the opera
tor, always keeping within his easy
reach. A spout or tube four or five
inches square leads from the rear of
the box to the furrow behind the plow.
The operator sits at his ease on the
spring seat, picking up the potatoes
and dropping them at regular intervals
into the spout. I find it works better
to take only n piece in the hand at a
time, dropping in the spout with one
hand while reaching after a seed piece
with the other. The spout is followed
by the coverers, which leave the
ground slightly ridged over the seed.
A o narrowing just before the
sprouts begin to show leaves the
ground level and in fine condition.
The front end Of the frame to which
the %coverers are attached is hinged to
the two rear upright pieces which sup
port the box. A lever is beside the
seat to raise and lower the coverers at
the end Of the rows. The covere frame
should be hung low at the front end,
and the Killers must be set just the
right distance apart and at just the
right angle.
A little trouble arose at first in this
respect. One seed piece when drop
ped would stop just where it first
touched the ground and the next one
might roll or jump ahead q foot or
more, thus making them lie at I'M
equal distances when dropped evenly
In point of time. This was overcome
by mailing to the front and sides of the
lower end of the spout a piece of an
old rubber bootleg which touched the
bottom of the furrow. Then the seed
had to stay right where it dropped.
A man to drive the team and to raise
and lower the plow at the ends, anoth-
er man to feed the machine and OBJ
crate the lever which controls the Gov
erers and a team which walks not too
rapidly a mark, furrow, drop and
cover five or six acres in a day. The
machine does not work satisfactorily
on billy land. 1t will work up or down
the hill all right, but going sidewise it
| is inclined to slide.
