though his clothing was homespun and
his manner more like that of country

This last passenger during the first
part of the journey through Connect
cut remained inside the coach with the
others. But after leaving Hartford he
sat outside with the good natured driv-
er, who was quite ready to reply to
questions about the country.

farm and the one most likely to get

plicity of construction, ease of adjust

pOrtant points to look after tongue
truck is an attachment that should go
with every binder. This is the only
means of eliminating side draft that
has yet been discovered A tongue
truck is rather expensive. but so are
sore shoulders and necks on the horses
at harvest time
Where much stock is kept the corn
binder is a necessary implement. BY
cutting large share of the corn and
using it as fodder or sila@c much feed
is saved that would otherwise be vast
ed About 40 per cent Of the entire
feeding value of tIfp corn plant is in
the stalk When these are left stand
inc in tie field the greater part Of this
feed is wasted The shocked fodder
may proftahly be run through Il shred
der before feeding This will huSk the
corn and leave the stalks in the best
SHAPE to be fed or used for bedding.
One of the most important of the
miscellaneous implements is the wind
mill No farmer can afford to pump
water fer his stock by hand when the
wind will do it for nothing after the
mill has once been put up In erecting
a windmill be sure that it is put on
high enough tower SO that surround
ing trees or buildings will not cut off
the wind. A mill which is geared back
so that the wheel makes three revolu-
tons or so to one stroke of the pump
will run in q lighter wind than will
the straight geared type. A three
legged tower is just as strong as
four and considerably cheaper

BILE on stock farm is the gasoline en-
CINE. The original cost of these en-
gines is reasonable. and the amount
required for fuel and repairs is small.

also replace the windmill as source
of power for pumping.
In selecting a gasoline engine be
sure to get one large enough to do the
required work easily, remembering at
the same time that where much light
work is to be done a small engine
will do it with much less gasoline
than will be used by large one.
This objection to a large engine can
be overcome to large extent by so
arranging the work that several light
machines may be run at the same
time. The most reliable type of en-
CINE is the four cycle, in which there
are two revolutions Of the fywheel to
one explosion. The water system OF
cooling is the most efficient, though
air cooled engines are all right for
light work.
Another necessary machine Of the
stock farm is the manure spreader.
Not only does this save a great deal
OF work, but it also applies the ma
nure more evenly and will cover
greater amount of ground with CIV

ner type of furrow opener is prefer
able to the disk. since the latter is
hard to guide. The essential point in
planters. however. is the drop. If you
are in the habit of grading your seed
corn carefully so that the kernels are
all about the same size the edge drop
plates will give a more even stand
than will the round hole drop. Plant
ers in which the plates are turned by
a chain from the axle and the wire
used only to open the shoe are surer
to drop every time than those in
which all the work is done by the
wire.
There are two haying implements
that are absolutely essential, the now
err and the rake. Be sure to pick a
wide cut mower. Six feet is a good
width The extra draft amounts to
little. and considerable time will be
saved in going over the field
Where much hay is made the old
way of raking in punches and pitch
ing it on to the wagon by hand is too
slow and laborious. A much better
plan is to rake the hay into windows
with a side delivery rake and gather
it up with hay loader. Where the
hay is put in the barn q set of double
harpoon forks will make short work
of the UNLOADING. If it is to be stacked
some form of stacker will save a great
deal of hard work

later be set shallow enough to avoid
serious injury to the spreading roots
If you are in the corn business ex-
tensively enough to afford two sets
of cultivators it is we'll to have spe-
cial surface machines for the last two
civilizations. Some companies make
surface blades which can be attached
in place of the shovels when so de-
sired. In the hands of a careful man
the two row cultivator does good and
rapid work

chimes come the seeders. While cost
ing little more at first, there is no
better implement for sowing small
grain than the disk drill The disks
cut through cornstalks and other
trash, and the seed is deposited evenly
and at uniform depth The result

increased crop sufficient to pay the
entire cost of the drill in a year or
two.

hand Of today needs brains more than
muscles The ability to handle a com
plicated machine successfully is more
valuable than the power to do a hard
days manual labor.
With the coming Of improved ma
chinery the problem of what to buy
and what to get along without has be-
come a serious one The farmer has
more money tied up in machinery than
in any one thing besides his land.
Having too much machinery is nearly
as bad as having too little. What is
needed IS a wise SelCI-iG7. -
1t is always we'll to do a little figur
ing before buying a new machine. Di-
viding the cost of the implement by
the number of years it may be reason
ably expected to last will give the
amount that must be charged to de-
probation each year. Add to this an
allowance for repairs. storage and
each years share of the interest, and
you will have the yearly cost of the
machine. A little further figuring will
show whether the benefit received
from it in year will warrant this
cost.
Machinery may be roughly divided
into five classes-tillage, planting, hay
ing, harvesting and miscellaneous OF
the many tillage implements there are
some that are absolutely necessary on
any farm. Among these are the plows
For the farmer on a quarter section Il
sixteen inch riding pillow will be all
that is needed for the fed work. In
addition it may be we'll to have a
cheap walking pillow for blowing the
garden. turning out potatoes and for
use in case of an emergency. A gang
plow requires too many horses to hp
farm. On larger farms, where plenty
Of horses are available gang pow
will save the time of an extra man 1t
is good plan to have the pillow sup
piled with two or three moldboardS
of different slantS. A steep mold
board pulverizes the soil more and for
this reason is good thing to use ON
stubble land. On clover sod, however,
longer moldboard should be used in
order to lessen the draft
One of the most important tillage
implements is the disk No other ma
chine will pulverize the soil so quick
ly or thoroughly. The use of tongue
truck-a small two wheeled arrange
ment-under the rear end of the
tongue is Of considerable advantage
in taking the weight off the horses
necks Solid wheel disks pulverize
the ground more thoroughly than
spaderS or getaways.
A coed harrow is a necessity on any
farm. The flexible type is best for all
conditions. as it gets down into the
holOws and rides over trash better
than will a solid frame harrow

but can hardly be said to be neces-
sary on the average quarter section.
Next in order come the cultivatorS,
and there are so many styles of these
that choosing is a difficult matter. The
most important part of the cultivator
Is the shovels. happy medium is

HOT SHOTS FIRED At
THE EPWORTH LEAGUE
Necessity of Placing Control in
Hands of Young Plainly,
BIuntIy Put.

SEATTLE, July S.-The movement
to make the Epworth League more
democratic and to take it out of the
hands of the bishops and other dig
nitaries, found expression at tins aft

man of Albany, n. Y. looking out
upon the audience, of whom probably
third were gray-haired, said:

gray heads. The Epworth League
should be for young people. The place
for the fathers and mothers should be
in the prayer meetings, in the church. -
A great majority of the delegates
are Youthful. but these do not attend
the convention, where there is nothing
TO be voted on, the board of control
transacting all the business. The
Younger delegates are TO be found at
the World s Fair grounds and other
sightseeing centers.

The social unrest, deprecated the trend
TO socialism. He said.
"If adopted, socialism would neces.

secular foundation must fail The
doctrine that each man must look out

are alike loafers in the sight of God,
whose only way of making the desert
bloom is by labor. The man who cor
ners the market. or in other ways takes
advantage of the necessities Of his fel-

This was the busiest day on the
whole programme, there being morn.
ing, afternoon and night sessions. Most
of the food bound delegates have ar
rived. and only few hundred are vet
to come, among these party of sixty
from New York City, who were de.
