paper, shows how cultivation is accom-
plished In Alpine vineyards where the

horse goes beck and forth along the
ridge, and the man at the culuvator

Leona Jarvis stood on the ht'

mer cottage and looked down
teasingly at the young man who was
holding his little catboat against the
PITS with one hand while he sat on
the gunwale and let the sail hang
loosely He frowned and certainly
blushed. though it was hard to see this
under the coat of tan he had acquired
while cruising about the bay. During
the past couple Of months he had had
great deal OF thinking to do, and moth
ing IS so conducive to concentrated and
exhaustive thought as sailing about In
a trim and docile boat without regard
to time. And as most of his cruising
was done alone people seemed to think
that there was a misanthropic appro-

some such contrivance. utilizing the
power Of a gasoline or other easily
managed engine. as a great convenience
in the intensive culture of choice, close
ly planted crops In level places az well
as hillsides. The horse takes good deal
Of room. he Is not careful Of valuable
plants. and the packing Of the soil by
his feet is not always beneficial. Many
truckers and growers Of high grade
fruits would doubtless welcome a prac-
teal device that would dispense with a
horse in the row while utilizing horse
power tools for cultivation.-Rural New
