BROAD WHEEL WAGONS.
But A1ake Smooth Road
Over Fields.

This has been the worst fall and
winter for getting in crops ever
known in this region. The rains were
SO frequent and so heavy that the
corn was too wet most of the time;
and the soil became so soft that it
would not hold up the ordinary
wagon. We had the advantage of
our neighbors, for we had set of
metal wheels, with four-inch tires.
A large part of our corn was on
low land, and the river began to
back up over it before we got it
gathered. Had we been compelled to
depend on the old-fashioned narrow
tire, the water would have risen over
it before We were half done, as, in
that case, we could not have pulled
half load out of the field; and as
we barely made it out with the last
load as the water came, one can
readily see how we would have been
left if we had not had wide trees.
After using metal wheels about
three years | do not see what any
body wants with a narrOw-tlre wood
en- wheel. There is enough spent on
them keeping them in repair to buy
the whole wagon. [ have known
men to lose enough on single trip
to buy a new wagon, by having the
tire run off and allow the wheel to
be crushed before anyone knew what
had happened-this taking place
while away from home, and leaving
him to get on with his load and get
back as best he could, all of which
could have been saved by having
steel wheels.
Our wheels are 80 and "a inches,
making the wagon so low that it is
easily loaded. Men who have hauled
cordwood and ties on it say it is an
absolute pleasure to load and unload
it. When it comes to putting rail-
road tie, weighing 200 or 800 pounds.
on high wagon, with the wheels
way above the holsters, over which,
also, the tie must go, it is doubtless
little-yes, very-hard OH fellow. L
have never used it thus, but can tes-
tify to the fact that it takes less
than half the labor to load it with
hay. grain, fodder ETC.
Another great advantage of such
a wagon is, that it does not cut the
farm into ruts, but after a trip or
two it makes a nice, smooth road
even over plowed ground; and when
you wish to ptow it up again it is
not near so hard as when it has
been packed by narrow tires.
Some claim that they are bound
to run more heavily than narrow
tires and high wheels. Possibly they
do, but the difference is compare
lively slight, and we own horses and
mules to do our work for us. Why
not let them do it?-Essex Spurrier,
in Rural Voice.

Decrease in Milk Yield.

Dairymen are often puzzled in try
ing to locate the cause of sudden
falling off in milk yield of their
herds from one day to another. Ere
quently the yield will drop five or
more pounds per COW. An Indian
apolis millman is reported as hav-
ing experienced a sudden shortage
of 40 gallons on one day, which came
about under peculiar circumstances.
He was delivering 90 gallons, and
one morning met a man in the read
who requested sample of his milk;
the next morning he had business at
the city hall; and the day following
he delivered only 60 gallons of milk.
Dairy authorities have ascribed the
falling off in milk yield to various
causes, but we think none of them
have ever accused milk inspector of
drying up the cows.-Jersey Bulletin.

West Ahead of nle East.

All sorts of new plans for teach
inc agriculture are being tried in the
west. In Missouri an exhibition car
is hauled by the railroads. This car
carries samples of farm products for
exhibition. Speakers go along, and
the car can be turned into a small
hall for holding meeting if de-
sired. In dairy section, stock food,
forage plants, dairy utensils and
even animals will be carried. In a
fruit-growing section tools and APP
pliances for cultivating. spraying,
etc will be on hand. All this is I'M
der direction of the Missouri expert
ment station. It seems like a grand
thing, especially for a large state.
The west is ahead of the east in such
matters, because the western farm
er has been able to make his power
definitely felt.-Rural New Yorker.

The Doctors
Low Case

DR. TOLBERT was a young physl-
clan who was possessed OF little
eISe besides his sheepskin and a de-
termination to succeed in his CHOSEN
profession. Shortly after graduating
he and a Young legal friend, one Mar
tin. took an office together in Chicago.
They arranged to hold separate hours,
each paying an equal share OF the rent.
A small glass and frame partition
divided the little room into two tiny
APARTMENTS. The lettering on the
alass portion Of the QUITE door read:
'Johu l.. Martin. Law Office" and
small neatly designed metal plate ON
the panel read: ''Dr. q. ii. Iolbert.'
The morning hours were set apart
for the exclusive use for the attorney
and his clients-should there be any
and the afternoon was to be dedicated
to the relief of the sick.
A few friends called and several let
tiers and circulars we're received dur
inc the first month. Financing the sec
ond month. however, was uphill work.

Quoted to the ground by the suit

periences no inconvenience. The
wearer of this suit can stand be-

sparks will pass from one to the

The inventor of the lightning pro-
tector donned his gauze garment and
placed himself under conductor
that had a tension of $4,000 volts.
With his hands, his elbows, his arms
and his head he attracted brilliant
sparks, but was not the least in

hands two electrodes Of 1000 volts
pressure and caused to pass through
the protecting garment electricity
amounting to 100. amperes, a current
so strong that when he withdrew his
hands an electric spark two feet long
shot out from the machine. At the
termination of the experiments il
was found that the gauze garment
had not been damaged by the sparks,
with the exception of small holes
at the points of contact that did moi
impair the protecting action of the
invention.

a millxman came along, climbed the
stairs and left a pint of milk. His
wagon ratified away a quarter OF a
mile and delivered another pint. That
morning over Is milk peddlers came

mer Every onion grower should pro-
vide himself with crates to handle his
next crop. They are handy in the field
to hold the crop when gathered, and
are easily stacked to admit the neces-

work or trouble.
The crates described hold about 21s
bushels; the feet of one fit into the top
of the one next below, so that they may
be stacked up to the ceiling.
Two crates should be made first, and
one of these taken apart to serve as
pattern pieces when it is known that
they are exactly right. Material for

THOUSANDS OF AMERICANS
FOR WESTERN CANADA.

There will be thousands of Amer
leans coming up here in the Spring."
was the remark made by a farmer
from the vicinity of Langdon, North
Dakota, when he arrived in Winni-
peg, Manitoba, the capital of West
ern Canada. few days since. He
was the advance guard of large
body who are following him, and he
has already invested in several farm
ing sections for himself and others
and purposes to take up his perma-
nent abode in this country. He went
on to say: Hundreds are coming
from my district alone. / know this
to be fact, for many of them are
neighbors of mine. The chief topic
of conversation with the farmers is
the coming immigration in the
spring"
THE impression general in the
part of Dakota where l live that
farmers can get from 10 to Is cents
more a bushel for wheat on the
American side of the line than on
the Canadian, has not prevented peO-
pie from turning their eyes to Cam
ada as a place to live in. They know
they can get land in this country
which is every bit as fertile as thai
in Dakota at about one-quarter the
price. 1t is safe to say that the
exodus from Dakota into Canada this
year will exceed the expectations of
all Canadians"
