The implements the Farmer Needs.

Few farmers need all farm imple-
ments The man who has no COWS
does not need separator; the man
without live stock has no use for a
manure spreader: the man who raises
only cotton does not need a pea hull
ler; the man with only one horse
could not afford to buy two-horse
plow. We admit all this. What we
wish to impress upon our readers is
that it will pay a man to grow peas
and save them for seed; that he
should get two horses and then a
two-horse plow will follow; that he
can make money by keeping live
stock. and that when he gets the live
stock he can afford to buy manure
spreaders and cream separators and
build silos. In short, we wish to in
spire him with high ideals to make
him ambitious to do better farming,
to get more work stock and more ma
chinery, and thus to make more
money and live more comfortably than
he possibly can while he works only
one horse and uses only few of the
more inefficient tools. If we could
only convince our one-horse farmers,
however, of the value to them of three
tools, we should be doing them a Won
derful service. Those, too, any ener-
getic farmer can have; and if he will
manage to have his land broken and
narrowed with good two-horse ma
chinery, he can do just as good cul-
tivating with them as any one can do.
although it will inevitably cost him
more than it would with more team
power. The implements we refer to
are: Cd Il good planter, (2J good
weeder. CD a good cultivator. The
one horse farmer who has these will
soon be able to get two horses; the
man who is without them should not
rest until he gets them.-Progressive

veil that went up from the crowd
reached the ears of the rider n mile
away.
Horse and rider fairly flew on the
wings of the wind" Feathery fiecks
of foam streaked the flanks OF the
painting animal as she bore the cou-
rier to his journeys end, covering the
last mile i'm one minute and fifty
seconds. The little mare, Sylph, had
won tho wager and there were five
minutes and fraction to spare.
At the other end Of the line the
same arrangements had been made
to start courier from Sacramento.
So. at noon on April s, 1860, Billy
Baker. mounted on Border Ruffian,
Miller's famous saddle horse, dash
ed away toward the Sierras, covering
his twenty miles in forty-nine min
utes Deep snow lay in the mountain
passes, and to Salt Lake Valley slow
time was made, so that from the val
ley on it was necessary to make eX-
ira speed to win the huge wager.
All went we'll until the crossing Of
Big Platte river at Julesburg was
dismay the courier found the river
high up in it's banks and a strong
current running. Fearlessly horse
and rider plunged into the stream,
but only the man reached the oppo-
site bank. His gallant steed mircd in
the quicksands and perished. The
courier saved his precious mail pouch,
and had to walk ten miles to the next
relay station.
The first courier to reach Sacra-
mentO was met miles out on the road
by all who could secure a horse or
mule to ride. and a general race en-
tered with the courier against the
field. which he distanced very easily.
A few old residents have told me
Of witnessing the start Of the first
courier from st. Joseph. They saw
him on his horse while his "daguer-
reotype" was taken by Mr.. Mitchell, a
picture man. They all knew John
Fry very intimately and followed him
to the ferry boat.

Where the One-Hor Farmer Loses

Out.
Says one of our correspondents: Il
rarely find that my two-horse tenants
more than double the crops of my one
horse tenants on double the land and
with double the stock" Therefore, he
concludes that One-hOrse farming is
best. 1t seems never to have occur
red to him that the labor of the man
i'm the case is worth anything. Does
not any man who will think for a
minute know that if the man with
two horses does produce only twice
as much as the man with one horse.
he is far ahead of him in what he re-
ceives for his own labor? Even if a
mans labor is worth no more than
that of a horse. there are two workers
i'm the one horse layout and only three
i'm the two-horse. Hence an increase
of 30 per cent in gross returns Will
even matters up. Now, there isn't a
farmer i'm the south who doesn't re-
gard his labor as of more value than
that Of Il mule. and, of course, ne is
right about il. There may he, as we
have said. times when Il man must do
his work with one horse, but we can

On the Defsnsive.-A distinguished
novelist recently found himself travel
ing in a train with two very talkative
women. Having recognized him from
his published portraits, they opened
fire upon him in regard to his novels,
praising them in a manner which was
uncomfortable to the sensitive author.
Presently the train entered tunnel,
and in the darkness the novelist raised
the back of his hand to his lips and
kissed it soundly. When light return
ed he found the two women regarding
one another in icy silence.
Addressing them with great suavity,
he said: "Ah, ladies, the one regret

given number of hours which were
considered few. and he was at once
famous. A steamboat on the river
was named for him. 1t was Aubrey's
ride which induced Russell. Ben
Holiday, Majors and Waddell to pro-
mote the pony express. The writer
was acquainted with these gentlemen
as well as many Of the cOuriers on this
end of the route, and during the sum-
mer daily met them while crossing
the plains.
Frequently a belated courier would
arrive at Elwood too late for the
ferry which stopped running at
dark. but he would secure a skifi.
and with his mail pouch cross the
river to st. Joseph.
West of st. Joseph the following
were some of the stations used for
changes by the couriers: Thompson.
Willow Springs (three miles west Of
Troy, Kennekuk. Gotchell. Log
Cabin. Seneca, Ash Point. Guittard,
Marysville. Little Blue. Platte Ranch.
Kearney City. Plum Creek, Beauvaris,
Julesburg and others.
During the preliminaries and in
the execution and management of the
pony express. Ben Holiday was the
leading spirit. He really had charge
of all the preliminaries and control
of all things pertaining to the organ
ization and operation Of the great
scheme. He was the friend and part
ner of Russell Majors & Waddell in
all their great schemes of freighting
across the plains. and in operating
overland stage lines.
Jack Keetley. one of the pony ex-
press riders. rode continuously for
ltwenty-four hours. having traversed
three hundred miles. He didn't con-
slider the ride much of a feat. and as
soon as he slept and had a smack"
was ready to repeat the ride. All the
riders of the pony express were mere
boys, wiry, good horsemen, ambitious,
energetic and honest. There Is no
instance on record where one failed
to do the duty assigned him. When
approaching station where a change
of horses was necessary the courier
would blow a trumpet to notify the
stable man that he needed fresh
mount. nt."-Kansas City Star.
