THE AGE OF TOOLS.
Farmers Must Keep Pace with Mod
ern Progress or They VIII In
evitably Fall Behind.

The tools and machinery os Amer
ica are capturing the world. The ma
chine, with its unerring accuracy, has
taken the place of human hands in
every department of industry, and has
immensely increased the productive
capacity of the artisan. On the farm,
too, the same rule controls. The mod
ern binders have superseded the old,
slow methods of the harvest, and made
the great grain fields n possibility.
To the effective use of machinery on
the farm is due the great exporting
capacity of the country, and in every
avocation in life it is the man behind
the machine that is moving civilization
forward.
Brain power is taking the place of
human muscle, and the result is an
elevation of the farmer to a higher
plane, requiring the application of
business methods to agriculture. The
inevitable tendency of the increased
use of machinery on the farm is the
increase in acreage in the hands of
one man, since the machines make in
tensive culture possible over larger
areas. The more effective the ma
chimes are made the wider scope they
will need, and great farms, conducted
ON wise business methoGs, will become
more and more common as men realize
the possibilities of such culture. The
great accumulations of capital will not
always be kept out of the farm, for
the capitalists will come to see what
money will do in businesslike farm
ing. 1t is the age of tools and ma
chinery, and the farm must keep up
with the procession. - Practical
Farmer.

ELECTRICAL GENIUS.
Gordon simmons, Fifteen Years Ola,
Hns just Built q Phone System
in Muncie, Ind.

Gordon Simmons, the 15-year-old
son of j. l.. Simmons, blacksmith, of
Muncie, Ind, is an electrical genius.
Aided by his youthful partner, Mark
Smith, one year his junior, he has
constructed complete neighborhood
telephone system which he has just
placed in operation and it is unnec-
essary for the citizens living in his
vicinity to pay high telephone rates
in order to be able to converse with
each other.
BY giving bonds he has been per-
mitted to string his wires across
streets and alleys and he has already
connected three other residences
with his own. One is two blocks dis
tant.
Young Simmons began his expert
ments several months ago and he has
worked diligently night and day to
perfect his telephone system, devot-
ing every spare moment to the study
of electricity and to practical expert
ments.
His system is that in which but
one wire is used, thus he makes
mother earth do half of the work.
The positive current is transmitted
by the wire and the negative by the
ground by means of short wires run
ming from the telephone instrument
into the ground, where they are at
tached to tall stakes. The sound of
the voice transmitted over this tele-
phone is as distinct as that trans
mitted over the conventional tele-
phone line.
Young Simmons makes all of his
own batteries, motors and dynamos.
He is now perfecting dynamo and
motor to be used in operating an
electric fan. He makes considerable
money while other boys are playing
by putting in electric bells and do
ing other electrical work. He ac-
quired all of his knowledge of cleo
tricity by watching men work on the
large telephone systems and by his
own experiments. His friend, young
Smith, is an equal partner and shares
in Simmons knowledge, assisting him
in his experiments.
Simmons is envied by his school
mates because he wears an electric
bulb in his necktie. He made a small
battery which he carries in his
pocket and which is connected with
the bulb by wire. The bulb makes
brilliant light. While this idea is
probably one that has been put into
practice before it was conceived by
Simmons.

GATE THAT CANNOT SAG.
err who Considers II n Device OF
Rare Merit.

A subscriber living in Westfield,
Chautauqua county, N. Y, who pre-
fers that his name should not be
used in print, sends to the New
York Tribune a description of n gate
which he constructed several years
ago on farm where he then lived.
Its great merit is that it never Says.
For gateposts he used eight by
eight timbers, set fully IL feet apart.
With the idea of letting load of
hay through, the cap piece ought to
be fully 12 feet above the ground,
and may be advantageously cut out
of six by eight stuff. The posts
should be set in stone or cement, so
as to be proof against the action of
the frost. A sill or threshold is also
provided. This should measure six
by eight or eight by eight and con-
sist of oak or chestnut. The better
the timber for the rest of this frame
the longer it will last.
The full length upright of each
gate is made by four by four hard
wood scantling. The upper ends ere
rounded, and inserted in holes bored

Preparing Soil for Potatoe..

Preparation of the land is an es-
sential too often neglected. 1t has
been asserted that not infrequently
one-half of the potato crop is lost by
means of insufficient preparation of
the soil. OF one of the noted potato
growers of Wisconsin it used 10 be
said: "He works the ground so much
that the potatoes do not know in
which direction to grow to find the
surface. So they fill the soil full"
Sometimes the Lest of potato grow
ers slight tho preparation of their
soil because Of rush of other farm
work at the time their potato land
is being prepared. No after cultiva-
tion can atone for the neglect of
thorough preparation; for in no case
can the soil under the hills be af-
fected by the cultivation given In
the rows.-Farmers' Review.
