HOW FARMERS ARE ASSISTED
Scientists and Inventors Responsible
for Revolution in Farm Methods
in Recent Years.
(By r. G. wEATHERsroNE.l

(By r. G. WEATHERSTONE.i
Scientists and inventors are respon-
sible for the revolution that has taken
place on the farm during the last few
decades, for they have taught the
farmer lessons of the greatest value.
The inventor has supplied thousands
of useful ideas and labor saving de-
vices, SO that the work can be done
more effectively, with greater ease,
and on bar larger scale than ever
before. He has shown the farmer
how the heaviest work can be done
by mechanical means and has worked
out plans for obtaining the necessary
power from natural sources.
The scientist has shown that the
soil is wonder world, the mysteries
of which are only partially mastered
The mastery of the problems of the
soil presents one of the best fields
for activities Of psychologists of the
present day, who are hard at work In
the interests of humanity. The men
engaged in this work include some of
the best of modern scientists.

New fruits and flowers are being
introduced by explorers in govern
ment as we'll as private employ, and
some Of the innovations have proved
to be of great value. Some of the
staple crops now grown in the middle
west were unknown except to scien-
lists only a few years ago.
The inventor of the present bee

made new industry possible, for
without 1t. the modern apiaries, repre-
senting the investment of millions of
dollars, never could have been de-
veloped.

HONOR TO OLD ENGlNEMEN
One Company Names Its Locomotives
After Men OF Long and Faithful
Service.

The Erie Railroad company, in pur.
suance Of its decision TO honor engine
men of long service with the company
by naming locomotives after them, has
thus far favored two Western New
York employees In this way The first
engineman for whom locomotive was
named Is William r. Benedict of Buf,
falo. The second man was Thomas c.
Clark of Hornell. who draws a train on
the Allegheny division and has worked
for the company for AZ years.
II is customary on some railroads
for eDginemen TO use the same IocomO,
tives regularly, while on other lines
the locomotives are used indiscrimin-
ately; on some lines. when a run is
made one day by one man and the
next day by another. alternating regu-
larly. the locomotive makes both runs
and is used by only these two men.
Enginemen generally prefer to have
the same locomotive every time, as
they thus become familiar with it's
recularities and are able 10 get the
best work from II. The assertion is
made by enginemen that locomotives
used indlscriminately receive harsher
treatment than machine used by one
or two men regularly.
But 1t is not so much in the inter
ests of economical treatment of loco
motives that the Erie Is naming some
OF them fer employees, but rather, II is
understood. as a tribute TO the faith
