About Farm Mach:naa aarv.

We copy the following from the
Greenwood Index, with the earnest
hope that it will be read and care
fully considered by every farmer in
this county:
Zone man, out West, does as much
farm work as three ordinary farm Ia
borers in the South. Why? Western
farmers use farm machinery that
makes human labor unnecessary. In
stead Of having one man and horse
80 down a row and then up again to
cultivate it, the Western farmer uses
a two Or three horse cultivatcr and
''carries" two Or four cows at q time.
"Ihere is food for thought in this.
The last issue Of the Progressive
Farmer, Of Raleigh, II. c., IS "farn
machinery Special" and The index
would like to see every farmer in
Greenwood county study the issue CT
the Progressive Farmer referred to
above.
1.-THE Progressive Farmer compares
the States CT Iowa and Mississippi.
Although Mississippi has more farm
ers, individuals, than Iowa, yet the
latter State made last year SIC, eco, 600
more farm products than the former.
Why? IN Iowa one man does as
much work as two CT three in Miss;s-
sippi. He uses farm machinery that
enables him to do it. Money invested
in farm machinery is far better than
the same money paid out to trifing
wage hands at present exorbitant
prices for such labor.
Farmers in this section have bought
more farm machinery in the last five
years than had been bought in this
section in the last 25 years, and the
money, as rule, has been splendidly
invested. Of course, a farmer, like
all other men, has to learn by expe-
I1SuCc. OOluS 1dILu udCl1luCS UlldU wv
good work in some sections of the
country do not do as good work in
other sections. But the main thing
is to experiment. Don't keep running
along in the same old way.
Up in the Pennsylvania Dutch Sec
ton, farm of so acres has usually
four big horses. The little farm of
so acres not only produces enough
feed for four horses, but the owner
makes money besides.
Use more horse power and less man
power. Haye a two-horse-brain farm
instead of a one-horse-b brain farm.
It is true that the broad, level lands
of the great West are better adapted
to farm machinery than our lands as
at present cultivated, but the Dutch
of Pennsylvania have lands as hilly
as ours, and they do not have these
hills scanned with old red gullies.
A great opening exists in the South
for improved farming, and there's
money in it.-GreenWood Index.

Many sleepless Nights, Owing
to a Persistent Cough. Re-
lief Found at Last.

"For several winters past my wife
has been troubled with a most persist
ent and disagreeable cough, which i'll
variably extended over period of sew
eral weeks and caused her many sleep
less nights" writes Will J. Rayner,
editor Of the Burley, Colo., Bulletin.
"Various remedies were tried each
year, with no beneficial results. In
November last the cough again put in
an appearance and my wife, acting on
the suggestion Of a friend, purchased a
bottle OF Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.
The result was indeed marvellous. After
three doses the cough entirely disappear:
ed and has not manifested itself since.'
This remedy is sold by the Kaufmann

couldn't be learned if the loss was
covered by insurance.
Horace johnson was not far from
the truth when he predicted there
would be sleighing to-day, but when
people looked out this morning they
learned that winter was surely here,
with all its Accomplishments, for the
storm was nothing less than Il Dliz-
zard on Il small scale There was no
session in any department of the pub
lie or parochial schools and the young
sters who received sleds as Christ
mas gifts, had their first opportunity
to enjoy them, and this, coupled with
the fact that there was to be no
school filled the hearts of the little
how severe the storm is, if only they
can get out and coast down the hills.
Since 4 combination coach has been
pressed into service as a passenger de-
pot in Naugatuck and will be used
as such until the old station is moved,
Naugatuck has been getting the laugh
from those who have seen tine accom-
mediation that has been given the
people Of this place by the rail
road company, but if outsiders
have occasion to laugh at
what we are getting We too are not
entirely deprived of some merriment
in connection with others. One of our
prominent men tells of man who
has been coming to this town for a
number of years, his trips being made
weekly. He came here yesterday,
heard the brakeman call out Nauga-
tuck, got off the car, looked around
and about this time the train was
pulling out of the station. He ran for
dear life to get aboard the train
again and not until he had reached
Waterbury did he learn that the place
he had got off at was indeed Nauga-
tuck's temporary passenger station.
He returned to Naugatuck by trolley
and those who were aware of what
happened could have what they asked
for if they would but keep the matter
secret, but events of this sort are
too good to keep silent, and it is safe
to say that it will be some time be-
fore his friends will let up on the man
who didn't know what is called a
good thing when he sees it.

TRoTTING IN 1859.
Mr. Holt Tells Of the Race Won bv
Flora Temple.

II saw the celebrated race between
Ethan Allen and Flora Temple at the
Fashion course, Long Island and more
money changed hands at the race than
had ever been known before. There
were no pools then and 1t is said $780,
600 changed hands. Previous to the
race Woodruff had driven Flora Tenn
pie, and he thought no one else could
drive her, and as she did not attain
her full speed early in the summer, he
challenged her for race for $1,000. 1t
was run May 81, 1859. ID. Tallman
was hired by James Mcmahon to drive
Flora Temple, and she won from
Ethan Allen in straight heats, the time
being 2:25, 2:27h, 2:271a. This race
was to wagons, as Ethan Allen was a
better trotter to the wagon.
ETHAN Allen was one Of the sweet
est trotters in America. He was by
Vermont Black Hawk, and was owned
by r. Holcomb of Ticonderoga His
dam twas a tiea-bitten gray mare,
probably Messenger mare. She had
three colts, Black Hawk Maid, Ethan
Allen and Red Leg. drove Red Leg
several times, and he was good race
horse. ..s-.. .....s,.
Where Carpenter had the other
drivers beaten was in handling tan

very few who could drive that way.
He was also the best double team
driver in America. l drove tandem
