Old-Fashioned Agricultural Implements

These methods. however entailed too much
able quantity In such case a gorse, furze or whin
mill, as it was variously called in different dis
tricts was utilized. The whin mill was built after
one Of two types the most common consisted of
circular stone, shaped somewhat like a mill
stone standing edge, with approximately a
diameter OF four feet and thickness of foot In
the center of the stone hole was cut, through
which shaft about IA feet long was fixed. On
end of the shaft was attached to an iron pin firmly
fixed into an earthfast stone, and the other end
was fitted with tackling to which horse could
be yoked. The gorse shoots were then thrown
into circular trough or course, where they were
crushed as the milestone slowly revolved. The
farmer occasionally stirred them up with hay
fork and sprnked them with water to facilitate
the crushing process. Crushing went on for about
couple Of hours, by which time the gorse was
sufficiently pulped to be eaten by the cattle.
In the second type Of mill another form of stone,
shaped somewhat like ield-roller was utilized.
This pattern was not so common as the wheel
shaped. The roller revolved on a fiat circular
course paved with stones and had one end rather
thicker than the other to enable it more readily
to turn round the circle
In process Of time these gorse mills gradually
fell into disuse AS the land became better popu-
lated, gorse became less plentiful and cattle food
more abundant. The introduction of turnps too,
provided plentiful supply of food in spring, when
1t had formerly been very scarce. Farmers, more
over, grudged the amount of labor entailed in pre-
pairing the gorse, and were not unwilling that the
apparatus should fall into decay
The Greenville journal. [volume] (Greenville, Ohio) 1850-1918, 1914-03-26

Times have changed in agriculture, as in many
other things, and at the present day we can
hardly realize the difficulties that beset the farmer
upwards Of a century ago. Early spring was
often trying time for him. when his supplies of
cattle food were apt to become exhausted before
the new grass appeared. There were then no
turnips, mangolds. oilcake, soy beans or similar
foods to be procured. and he had some
times great difficulty in keeping his cattle from
starvation, especially In the late districts. 1t is
difficult to believe, but 1t is nevertheless true that
in parts of Scotland the cattle were at times SO
weak in spring from want of food that they were
unable to rise from their stalls when the new
grass did come. The custom therefore arose for
farmers in a neighborhood to meet together and
go from farm to farm for the purpose Of carrying
the helpless cattle out to the fields. This was
termed the cattle lifting, much more humane
method of cattle lifting" than that which used to
prevail on the borders.
In the wilder parts of Scotland, where gorse or
furze was plentiful, the young shoots were often
used in spring supplementary food for both
cattle and horses. The shoots were cut down
and then removed to the farm to be there crushed
into rough pulp which could be eaten by the
cattle. 1t was eagerly devoured by them and they
throve upon it. Cows gave richer milk when they
were supplied with crushed gorse, and the milk
was free from unpleasant flavor, such as other
green winter foods sometimes induce. Horses,
too, relished the food.
Great faith was placed in the nutritive value of
whin shoots. Indeed, SO popular did whin diet
become that fields especially where the soil was
dry and light were set aside for the whin crop,
the seeds being sown In drills in March, so that
the shoots became ready for use in the autumn
of the following year. For several years in sue
cession forage was obtained from the original
crop.
There were several methods employed for pulp
ing the gorse In small farms, where only limit
ed quantity was needed the method usually adopt
ed was to lay the young shoots on fiat stone or
block Of wood and hammer them with a mallet
similar to that now used for driving in palng
posts. Sometimes one end Of the mallet was fitted
with iron blades for chopping the gorse, while
the other end was fiat for pounding 1t. Otherwise
'rammer" or "bruissr' might be employed an
instrument consisting of shank of wood, three
feet eight inches in length, bulged out part to
give the instrument weight on being used, and a
base which is contracted into square, and shod
with ana iron shoe embracing parallel iron cutters
one inch asunder and three inches deep, and
sharpened at their lower edge"

PERFECT HUMAN FORM

What constitutes perfect form is
largely a matter Of personal opinion.
Certainly however. the old hourgiass
shape is entirely out Of date, and what
blessing it is. Recently the follow

figure: Height. FIVE feet eight inches;
weight, 140 pounds: neck, IL inches;

fore, there are many who would not
deem this their ideal in many re-

or taller. the proportions Of your
body will vary from these somewhat,
and your present state will reflect
the habits and training OF past years.
The proportions should be observed.
