THE NEW wEEDER.

A variant of this apparatus weeds as
well MS sOws. Still another Is the bean
planter. which is quite remarkable In
its intelligence, so to speak. 1t drills
the hole in the ground, plants the
beans, covers them, and marks the po-
siton of the next row at one operation.
1t will even alternate corn and beans,
turn and turn about or plant corn or
beans, distribute fertilizer and cover
everything impartially. In fact, 1t
will do anything for which the farmer
has the intelligence to adjust it.
The potato planter would make the
farmer of a generation ago sit up aud
rub his eyes. 1t requires that the po-
tatoes be supplied, but will do all the
rest of its own initiative 1t picks the
potato up and looks 1t over--or seems
to-cuts II into halves, quarters, or any
desired number of parts, separates the
eyes and removes the seed ends. II
plants whole potatoes or parts thereof,
as desired, as near together or as far
apart as the judgment Of the farmer on
the driving seat suggests.
Having dropped the seed II covers
II, fertilizes It, tucks ii in like child

HE NEW FARMER
4 Nearly Everything Now z
Being Done by
Machinery. -
THE tired city man who turns

HHE tired city man who turns
longingly to thoughts of "the
old farm" of his boyish mem
ories and is impeled to go
here or to some place as nearly re-
sembling 1t as may be that, like Anita
aus. of the classic fable, he may recup-
crate his wasted energies by once
more touching Mother Earth, would DO
well TO forget all traditions of pastoral
life or prepare himself for the shock
IF great disappointment.
The man with the hoe. the sturdy
,rtist of the scythe and cradle. the
,ower who went forth to sow with a
bag of seed aroung his neck. the mus
,ular plowman. whose strong hands
keep the implement from turning flip
laps when its point struck q root. the
tripping milk maid carolling a song
all these and many other familiar OBJ
iects which the city man inseparably
associates with the old farm bear
ibout the same relation to the modern
arm that the traditional sailorman of
he days of wind-propelling craft bears
70 the coal passer or the oiler in the
shaft alley of the modern steamship.
The best education for the up-to-date
farmer Is course in mechanical engi-
aeering. His barn is no longer the
barn of the poets, with great wind
swept floor spaces under fragrant
nows. II more resembles a store house
'or miscellaneous machinery Its per-
l..
,il, and one makes his way about with
'ircumspection Unless inlifft rent to
.orn clothing and abraded cuticlc.
EXIT THE OLD pLow.
In breaking the soil for planting the
familiar plow. which gave even a
strong man plenty to do in managing it
and his team, has largely given place

his cob pipe, or his cigarette, If he
prefers.
His plowing finished, the farmer pro-
ceeds to pulverize and smooth the
land. Time was when he dragged ii
with harrow of scrap iron.
The farmer now mounts the seat of
he sulky harrow. f1icks fly off the
flank of his Off horse and away he goes
The machine pulverizes and smooths
The soil much better than it was for
merly done. Here. too. the horse is
menaced with displacement as a prime
motor. AS mechanical proposition
oats and hay are even less economical
as fuel than anthracite in strike time.
In fertilizing his land the modern
farmer has the advantage of the work
IF the chemist who provides just what
it needs in the form most convenient
for application by machinery. The un.
speakable opera tions connected with
he hand distribution of barn yard com.
post are no longer necessary.

IN THE FARM HOUSE.

Indoors the city man misses all that
made the farm house a museum of
treasures. The sewing machine has
usurped the place of the erstwhlle
spinning wheel. the brick oven has
given place to the portable range, and
the old blue churn has made way for
the patent device which lacks every
element of romance or of interest. If
he goes to the milking not even the
hired girl goes with him. He finds u
farm hand performing the operation
by artificially induced vacuum and
pouring the warm milk in whirligig
spiraster, where that is removed from
1t which gives him an uneasy sensation
in the region of the abdominal dia-
phragm If he recalls how. in guileless
infancy. he was wont to drink the
fluid dipped at about ninety degrees
Fahrenheit from the milk maids pail
OF a truth the old farm is no place
for a city man who cherishes memories
of boyhood rubricated by annual
vacation visits to the homestead of his
grandfather.-New York Times.

THE NEW MANURE.

If this material is used the labor of
spreading it is performed automatically
by machine which effects desicca.
tlon and distribution unattainable by
hand implements. The quarter acre
OF reeking quagmire. once known as
the barn yard, through which one must
wade ankle deep in crossing it, has
disappeared from the modern farm,
for which every one having occasion
to visit it, and who brings with him
some respect for his shoes. may de-
voutly give thanks. Composing and
ensilage conserve the nitrogenous com
ponents of barn yard ooze much better
than was done when they were left
to weather"
For planting there is a machine for
every kind of seed, cunningly designed,
well built and perfectly adapted to the
work for which it is intended. 1t
makes no mistakes. never sklps an
inch. sows no more thickly in one place
than in another, and does its stunt
with an intelligence which even the
impossible Jonas of the. Rollo book
could not have displayed.
For grain and grass the broadcast
seeder" Is used. This Is attached to
an ordinary wagon. and the only hui
man cooperation it requires is keep
ing its hopper full. 1t will distribute
all kinds of dry commercial fertilizers
and will put them just where they
VIII do most good.
A mechanical grain drill is provided
FOR such grains as need to be planted
systematically In rows or hills. 1t Is
infallible in its operation and would
plant corn, for example, in the middle
of n macadam road, If this was re-
qulred of it. Among other attachments
1t has land measure, something like a
cyclometer which records the acreage
planted and would calculate the yield
were 1t not for the element of uncer-
tainty introduced by weather vicissi-
tudes, and the variable industry of
crop destroying birds and insects. TO
cover the seed it has planted it is pro-
vided with system of hoes which are
adjusted to work straight or zigzag.

cold frames and transplanted for the
practical business of growing. For
this purpose there is plant-setting
machine, which will handle sprout
as II IL loved 1t, establish it in its new
environment gather the earth tenderly
about its roots, give 1t n copious drink
of water from tank ii carries. and
cover from four to six acres in q day
The transplanting is done so quickly
that the plant is said TO be established
in Its new position before IL realizes
the fact that II has been moved or has
time 10 become homesick.
MORE MACHINERY.
The various operations genericaily
known as "cultivatlngr were once the
bane of the farmers existence. For
them he needed a hickory back With
sole leather hinges and frequent stimu-
lation from the switched jug. The hoe
was his implement of greatest general
utility. With ii he destroyed the
weeds. loosened the soil, shaped up the
hills, and did many other laborlous and
extremely monotonous tasks.
1t was. moreover. discouraglng work
He could only do II by daylight. where
as the weeds kept growing night aud
day. and by the time he had finished
the last row of his field, behold. the
weeds were a foot high at the point
where he had begun and he must do
It all over again.
Now he has machine for each and
every operation of crop tending. with a
drivers seat as comfortable as that OF
blackboard. These machines seem
to know a weed from crop plant in.
tuitively and while they will snake the
former out by the roots without com
junction. they pass the plant un
harmed-provided, of course it is grow.
ing in its proper place. Some Of these
machines will do almost anything eX-
cept entertain the farmer while at work
with agreeable and instructive conver-
sation: but they have been highly spe,
ciallzed, and for every operation con.
nected with the tending of every kind
of crop there is some one machine
which performs II a little better than
any other.
GATHERING THE CROPS.
When the crop is ready for gathering
mechanism is seen at its best. The
perfection of the modern reaper and
binder is illustrated by an incident
which occurred this year in Illinois
A farmer had driven his reaper into
the edge of n field ready for cutting
and dismounted from his seat to get q
drink.
While thus occupied the horses took
fright at something and ran away
They tore round and round the field
cutting a full swath with every jump
gathering up the grain, binding it witt
twine and tossing the bundles TO ono
side. Before the team was caught il
had covered six and a half acres, leav.
ing only patches here and there TO be
gone over. This was accomplished in
something less than twenty-four min
utes.
