within a day or SO in Chicago and
Within a few days will be extended to.

LITTLE BESIDES HIS HOE.
The American Farmer Of the Past
Was Not Endowed with
Wealth.

"A rev generations ago the american
man with hoe was the real thing. He
was mighty lucky, by the way, if he
had a hoe: For instance, In 1890, in
Georgia, the hoes used were all home
made, and were formed of just piece
Of roughly hammered iron and sap
ling with the bark left on. The poor
whites of the state ground their grain
between two common stones. The
plows. which the Massachusetts, farm
ers dropped to do little farming on
Bunker Hill with musket were made
of wood. In 1857 there were only 81
plows in the entire colony. Persons
used to borrow the neighborhood plow,
and often single one had to do for
whole township, says the New York
Press.
Those old plows were terrors. They
were IL feet long. Eight or ten oxen
were required to pull it, q man had to
ride on the beam to keep it in the
ground and another had to walk be-
hind it with heavy iron hoe to dig it
out whenzit got stalled. ..>sv.-: *, -.
In 1886 cows and oxen were 90
scarce in America that COWS brought
$50 and oxen. 2o0-a: pair-and mighty
poor. scrubs At that Red calves were
cheaper than black ones, because the
farmers reasoned that wolves would
mistake red calves for: deer and eat
them up. In Virginia they had an idea
that housing and milking COWS in the
winter would kill them, so the cattle
were left out of doors carefully, and
Still they were perverse enough to die.
In 1880 there was real excitement in
Connecticut. It was caused by a dar-
ing man who drove the first light one
horse wagon. The fad 'took," but it
was we'll into 1910 before the new ve-
hicle became common enough not to
attract notice when seen on thesroad.
The first cast iron plow was made in
New Jersey in 1897, but it was viewed
with alarm, because the farmers had an
idea that it would poison the land.
Even in 1880 an assemblage of farmera
in New Hampshire objected strenuous.
ly to the cast iron plow on these
grounds.
And now the man with the hoe doe.
not even have: to cut his wheat with
sickle or cradle, rake it and bind it by
hand, cut his cornstalks with knife
and shock the stalks by hand; thrash
his grain. with a fail or drive horses
over it to tread it out, scrape the ears
of corn against shovel or the handle
of a frying pan. It is no longer neces.
sary for him to dig potatoes or to cut
his grass with a scythe and to spread
it with a pitchfork that it may dry, or
to pitch the hay from the wagon to the
haymow in the barn or to pick the lint
from cotton seed by hand. He's ma
