A correspondent of the New York
Tribune says of the modern harvester
and binder that cuts and binds a swath
Of six to seven feet wide, which are
the successful and popular sizes, that
they cut about an acre an hour With
the old-fashioned cradle good man
would cut from two and half to three
acres in a day, and good man would
bind as much, so that the man with
the machine would do in ten hours
four times as much as two men in the
old way, or the machine is equal to the
work of about seven men in ten hours.
There are what are called 'beaters,"
which cut and bind ten or twelve feet
In swath, but they are not in COM
mon use. Other headers cut from
fourteen to eighteen feet wide, but do
not bind, delivering it into header
wagons, from which it is stacked and
threashed from the stack. Some of
the larger grain farms have what is
called the combined harvester" cut
ting the heads from a swath of eigh-
teen to forty feet in width, threshing,
cleaning and bagging it, all at one op-
Grafton. But the larger the capacity
Of the machine the greater the power
required to operate it, and the cost of
labor is not so much reduced as 1t is
changed from man power to horse
power or steam power. The machines
make it possible to harvest wheat
enough to supply the world within the
time that it is in the best condition to
harvest, and the men who would have
been required to do all this by the old
methods can now work in forest, forge
Or factory.

Washington's compatriots is very well
known. 1t seems to be worth while
to show here how there is even now a
"want of comprehension and sym
pathy" in what may be called the TO
mantle features of WashIngton's char
acter- to show. that is, that he was
not cold in his affections.
For a beginning, let us look at the

whole; but one column of those figures

want of comprehension and sympathy

And then there was his meeting with

man none in existence excels this
of the Chamberlayne dinner table, for
there stands the vivacious widow
charming the man who of all men Is
now most honored by his countrymen
charming him by her exquisite per-
sonality as she gave him flower.
One likes TO recall that, even in the
state of civilization then prevailing-a
state of civilization wherein human
life was held so cheap by a great ma
iority of the people that men were
found to say they would "as soon kill
an Indian as a wolf''-Washington
would not wantonly kill fox. And,
in connection with that fact, it will
be remembered that the estate was
strictly preserved. If a gun was heard
anywhere on the plantation the people
were under strict orders ''to go after
1t, and permission to hunt or shoot
over the plantation was never given TO
any one, save only as personal friends
were sometimes invited to do SO with
Washington himself.
If the reader thinks this last fact
proves Washington was not a good
fellow I must reply that 1t at least
proves that Jefferson was wrong in
saying, His heart was not warm
he could feel for the wildlings that
found a home on the old plantation.
But the undisputed facts that show
how warm hearted the man was have
only been touched upon-there II

in his teens fell in love with Low
land Beauty is well remembered,
along with some rhymes which he
wrote TO express his feelings, An ex-
animation of the dates shows that
while he was writing in most pathet-
ic sixteen-year-old manner of ihe
"Lowland Beauty" he was also writ
ing love acrostic TO Frances Alex

is quite certain that Frances held
second place. He never completed his
poem to her.

ner.
1t is recorded that Washington was
minded to go on without stopping for
dinner, but Chamberlayne prevailed.
1t is a fair inference to suppose that
the planters chief argument was that
the horses ought not to be deprived of
their "snack" even If the colonel was
willing to go without dinner.
1t is likely, too, that Washington
learned that "the widow Gusts" was
there, but how much that knowledge
then Influenced him it is impossible
now to say.
Anyway to dinner he went, and we
have now an excellent picture Of the
little party as they sat at the table,

come dependent upon fine foods for
their growth and development 1t is
possible to carry this feeding to such
an extreme that the animals would be
Of little use if fed on anything else.
The feeding of concentrated food must
inevitably tend to weaken the vitality
of the stock, and make them unfit for
general farm purposes. The stomach

house lambs which are reared SO care
fully must be fed on rich, eoncen-
trated food to produce tender, delicate
meat, and if coarse food was given to
them they would soon cease to grow.
They are an artificial product Of the
breeders art, and in their way they are
very good. They serve purpose Of
their own, but not for the farmer.

however, can be adopted for the win

liberal feeding of coarse fodder, roots
and succulent food the animals are
sure to thrive and fatten without much
forcing. The normal growth of farm
animals is after all the most desirable,
for in this way they build up an excel
