DON'T DO THE MULES WORK.
How One Farmer Has Found ii Prof
liable to Take the Easier Way.

Messrs. Editors: When / began
farming for myself the first change
from my early boyhood customs was
a moving machine, which, as imper-
feet as it was, would do with one
hand and two horses the work Of ten
men. Next was the horse rake, which
Is no doubt the greatest labor-saver
of all the farm machines.
The two-horse cultivator was much
abused by many people. but when ]
could cultivate from eight to ten
acres a day with one I kept it going
In those days the common saying was
that riding plows were "God-send

such thing as the brush puller you
advertise can be had, nothing but ig-
norance OF its merits will cause any
farmer to be. without one when he is
troubled with small sprouts OF any
kind in his field. The disk pillow is a
great destroyer of vines and small
bushes and for certain lands and
crops is the equal. or superior, of
the moldboard pillow.
The two-horse corn planter and the
weeder take the early horrors from
the corn crop. So after the sulky
breaking pillow and harrow the ten
disk drill and the binder make a
wheat crop easy. No sane man,
