Making Hades Easy.

Strange wishes are sometimes ex-
pressed by those at the point of
death to ease their last moments, but
few probably have been more strange
than that of the son of Erin 10 whom
Rev. DR.. Floyd w. Tompkins told a
short time ago in an afternoon
speech:
Pat O'Shaunessy had been told by
the doctor that he could live but a
few hours" said DR.. Tomkins, "and
his wife and assembled relatives and
friends asked him whether there was
one last wish he would like to have
gratified before he died?"
There is said Pat. I'd like to
hear the village band play once
again.
Accordingly the village band gath
cred before Pats house and dis
coursed airs for several hours. When
at last it had played, Say Au Revoir
But Not Good-by," and had taken its
own departure. Mrs. O'Shaunessy,
kneeling at her husbands bedside,
asked, Can We die aisy now, Patg
"'Yis,' replied Pat 4 can die aisy
now. Hades has nothing worse than
that"

which has two needles does not need
to raise the corn SO high, hence less
power is required to run 1t. very
handy attachment is a knife that cuts
the stubble close to the ground, thus
making further operations on the
same ground more convenient
In binding corn, the old practice OF
husking the ears and leaving the
stalks-which contain over 40 per
cent. OF the total feeding-value OF the
corn crop-in the field to decay, is en-
tire1y too wasteful and must give way
to more intensive methods.
This means of course that some
kind OF a modern corn harvester must
be used, SO the corn binder has be-
come permanent fixture on a
large number OF well managed farms
throughout the corn belt
In hauling corn fodder from the
field to the shredder or wherever 1t is
desired. low-wheeled wagons are best.

Corn Picker and Husker.

ear, conducts them between two iron
cylinders on which are fastened little
pegs which grasp the ears and tear
the husks from them. The corn is
then elevated into the wagon while
the shelled corn drops into another
receptacle and all Is saved. The ma
chine of course shells more or less
corn and the dryer the corn the more
1t shells.
After the fodder leaves the snap
ping rows 1t comes into contact with
a shredder-head, which tears it into
fine bits, and 1t is then blown into
the barn or wherever it is wanted for
storage.
Careful Investigations, not only by
the government. but by many OF the
state experiment stations, show that
corn can be handled more cheaply
by the use OF machinery than by
hand.
There are several kinds OF corn
binders. and while each kind may
have its special advantages. there are
some points that should be particu-
