the most complicated machine on the
farm and the one most likely to get
out of order In buying binder sim
plicity of construction, ease Of adjust
ment and hardness of oiling are i'm
portant points to look after. A 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 silage much feed
Is saved that would otherwise be vast
ed About 40 per cent of the entire
feeding value of the corn plant is in
the stalk When these are left stand
ing in the field the greater part of this
feed is wasted. The shocked fodder
may profitably be run through 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 for 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 1t is put on
high enough tower so that surround
ing trees or buildings viii not cut of
the wind. A mill which is geared back
so that the wheel makes three revolu-
lions or so to one stroke of the pump
will run In lighter wind than win
the straight geared type. A three
legged tower is just as strong as
four and considerably cheaper.
A machine that Is almost indispensa-
BILE on a 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.
With a gasoline engine to furnish the
power to run shelter and grinder
feed can be cheaply and easily pre-
pared for the stock. The engine will
also saw wood, If you are fortunate
enough to have any to saw, run the
silage cutter, grindstone, separator.
churn and washing machine. 1t may
also replace the windmill as source
Of power fo~ pumping.
In selecting a gasoline engine be
sure to get one large enough to do the
required k easily. remembering at
the same time that where much light
work is to be done a small engine
will do 1t with much less gasoline
than Will be used by a large one.
This objection to a large engine can
be overcome to a 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 hywheel 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 a
greater amount of ground with CIV
en- quantity of manure. There should
be little wood in manure spreader,
since 1t rots ont quickly.

ANCIENT DOCTORS.


Some Of the Things They Knew Twelve
Hundred Years Ago.
The Russian Academy Of Medicine
after examining a Tibetan Hand
book Of Medicine" first published 1,2oO
years ago. acknowledges that 1t con-
tains many truths discovered or redis-
covered By modern physicians. Here
are some extracts from the ancient
volume:
Number of bones in the human
body, 800; number Of nerves, 30; num-
Der of pores, 100000.
1.-THE heart is the king Of the organs
and the staff OF life. The lungs en-
brace it as a mother does her child
Sicknesses are due to mans malice, ig-
norance and inability to curb the pas
sions, for these things interfere with
the proper nourishment Of the human
organs. All unkind thoughts react
upon the heart and liver"
The methods for ascertaining the
state of a persons health were very
similar to those methods employed to-
day-looking at the tongue, feeling the
pulse. etc. Vegetable medicines are
advocated; also baths, congresses, mas
sage. bloodletting, etc. Fines were I'M
posed upon physicians who did not
keep their instruments clean.

A FLOWER LEGEND.
How the Myosotis Came to Be Called
Forqetmenot.


DR.. A. f. Thomson communicated to
Mills History of Chiyalry' the fol-
lowing romantic account of the origin
Of the popular name, forgetmenot, OF
the favorita little flower myosotis:
1.-TWO lovers were lettering on the mar
gin of lake on a fine summers even
ing when the maiden espied some OF
the flowers of myosotis growing on the
water close to the bank Of an island
at some distance from the shore. She
expressed a desire to possess them,
when the knight, in the true spirit OF
chivalry, plunged into the water and,
swimming to the spot, cropped the
wished for plant, but his strength was
unable to fulfill the object of his
achievement. and, feeling that he could
not regain the shore, although very
near it. he threw the flowers upon the
hank. and. casting a last affectionate
look upon his ladylove, he cried For
get me noty and was buried in the
waters. AS the world insists upon o
reason, this story is as good as another
but the worthy knight must have been
sadly out Of his element not to have
been able to return from a bank on
which his mistress could discern SC
minute a blossom, unless, indeed, we
suppose him to have been clad In
armor. which was habiliment Ii

today are made possible only
by the use of modern labor
saving machinery. The farm
hand Of today needs brains more than
muscles. The ability to handle com.
plicated machine successfully is more
valuable than the power to do 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 wise selection.
1t is always well to do little fgur-
ing before buying new machine. Di-
vfding the cost of the implement by
the number of years it may be reason
ably expected to last viii 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 a year will warrant this
cost
Machinery may be roughly divided
into i've -tillage, planting, hay
ing. harvesting and miscellaneous. OF
the many ti1lage implements there are
some that are absolutely necessary on
any farm. Among these are the plows.
For the farmer on a quarter section a
sixteen inch riding plow viii be all
that is needed for the field work. In
addition it may be well to have a
cheap walking plow for blowing the
garden, turning out potatoes and for
use in case of an emergency. A gang
plow requires too many horses to be
practicable on the average $50 acre
farm. On larger farms, where plenty
of horses are available, gang pillow
win save the time of an extra man. Il
is a good plan to have the plow sup
piled with two or three moldboards
Of different slants. A steep mold
board pulverizes the soil more and for
this reason is a good thing to use on
stubble land. On clover sod, however,
a 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 IL Of considerable advantage
In taking the weight off the horses
necks. Solid wheel disks pulyerize
the ground more thoroughly than
spaders or getaways.
A good harrow is necessity on any
farm. The flexible type is best for all
conditions, as 1t gets down into the
hollows and rides over trash better
than viii a solid frame harrow.
Spring tooth harrows, rollers and
weeders all have their special uses.
but can hardly be said to be neces-
sary on the average quarter section.
Next In order come the cultiyators.
and there are SO many styles Of these
that choosing is difficult matter. The
most important part of the cultivator
Is the shoyels. A happy medium is
struck In the six shovel type. The
shovels on this can be run deep

enough to loosen the soil well the
first two times over the field and can
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 1t is well 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 careful man
the two row cultivator does good and
rapid work.
First in the line of planting ma
chimes come the seeders. While cost.
ing q 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
ing evenness of stand will cause an
increased crop sufficient to pay the
entire cost Of the drill In a year OF
two.

SEEING and THINKING.

Most people see an object when they
think Of it. They can see before their
eyes a geometrical drawing or the fig
ures on a chessboard when they think
Of them. In order to think at all most
men make use Of images, though they
may be OF different kinds. Thus one
man when he thinks Of Italy" sees
just the printed word; another sees the
country's outline on a map; another
may see the country spread out before
him, with its villages and towns.
Psychologists are beginning to classify
the different aids or images of which
men make use. Some. for example,
hear the words Of their thought within
themselves; others read them, as If
the words were written generally In
black on a white ground.-London
