HIRAM CRONK.
Aged 1O5 years months,
Last Survivor of the War of 1912.


There were two handsome floral
pieces. One had been sent by the local
posts of the g. A. R. and the other by
the Society of the War of 1872
There was good sized crowd outside.
the Forty-second street entrance of the
station when the procession started
for the City Hall. In front went de-
tail Of eight mounted policemen, headed
by Roundsman Davis. The policemen
cleared a path down Fifth avenue for
the procession and turned all north
bound vehicles into the side streets
A delegation of members of Grant
Post, G. A. r., came next, forming
personal escort to Colonel Butt. The
Eighth Infantry Band, Raging dead
marches, followed, and close behind
the band was company of regulars
from Governors Island, under Captain
Evan N. Johnson.
The heavy hearse, draped in black
trappings and drawn by four black
horses, was fianked by double lines of
members of Grant Post, G. A. r. Then
there was a delegation of Daughters
of the War of 1912, who preceded fifty
members Of the Society of the War of
1912.
A ffer and drummer led six Minute
Men and two officers representing the
Army and Navy. The end of the pro-
cession was made up of carriages. In
two of the carriages rode the party
that had accompanied the body. Moth
ing else could have so well empha-
sized the great age Of the dead veteran
as the decrepitude of his wrinkled oc.
togenarian son, Philander.

FARM TOPICS
ELECTRICAL FLOWING.


With the development Of electrical
works proceeding so rapidly in Italy,
it is not surprising TO find that special
attention is being given there to the
design of electrical machinery, says the
American Cultivator, The Societa
Elettrotecnica Italiana Of Turin has in
vented and constructed a number Of
devices for the application OF electric
power to farm machinery, its latest
production being an electric pillow,
which is said to have come out Of
public tests with gratifying success.
The device consists Of two twenty five
horsepower cars, which are stationed
at each end of the field, and between
which are stretched cables attached
to the plow The electric current is
taken from trolley line. The pIow is
pulled by the cables from one side of
the field to the other, and when it
coaches the end Of the furrow it stops
automatically, the current being cut
off. 1t can be run backward or for
ward with ease. One man manages
the plow, and each car is operated by
one man. These power cars are said
to be as easily managed as traction
engines, and their power can be applied
to thrashlng machines, pumps, grain
drills, etc.

sPRoUTING SEED POTATOES.

SPROUTING SEED POTATOES.
The chief advantage Of sprouting is
that few weeks growth is secured
in the boxes before the seed is planted.
Consequently, if the two kinds of seed
are planted about the same time, the
crop from the sprouted seed is ready
for digging several weeks before that
from the unsprouted seed. Again, if
farmer has seed sprouted and the
soil is wet and cold, or the conditions
unfavorable, he may delay planting
for a time. Further, on fresh land the
sprouted potatoes make an extremely
rapid growth that smothers the weeds
for the whole season.
Another advantage gained by sprout-
ing seed is that the first bud is pre-
served, and the plant is therefore
more vigorous throughout the season;
whereas, with unlocked seed the first
bud when it exists is tender, and
usually gets broken off
