Old-Fashioned Agricultural Implements

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 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 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 It-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
unable to rise from their stalls when the new
grass did come The custom therefore arose for
farmers In neighborhood to meet together and
go from farm to farm for the purpose of carrying
the helpless cattle out to the fields. This
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 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 eagerly devoured by them, and they
throve upon 1t. Cows gave richer milk when they
supplied with crushed gorse. and the milk
free from unpleasant flavor such as other
green winter foods sometimes induce Horses
too relished the food.
Great faith placed In the nutritive value of
whin shoots. Indeed. popular did whin diet
become. that fields. especially where the soil
dry and light. we're set aside for the whn CROP
the seeds being sown In drills in March. that
the shoots became ready for 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
cd quantity was needed. the method usually adopt
ed was to lay the young shoots fiat stone or
block of wood and hammer them with mallet
similar to that used for driving In paling
posts. Sometimes one end Of the mallet was fitted
with iron blades for chopping the gorse. while
the other end was fat for pounding It, Otherwise
"rammer" "bruiser'' 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 ia contracted into square, and shod
with an iron shoe embracing parallel iron cutters
one inoh asunder and three inches Deep and
sharpened at their lower edge"
The Elbert County tribune., 1914-03-27

These methods. however. entailed too much
manual labor where gorse used in consider
able quantity. In such gorse furze or whin
mill. as it was varously called In different dis
tricts utilized. The whin mill was built after
one of two types the most common consisted of
a 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 a hole was cut. through
which shaft about IA feet long was fixed On
fixed into earthfast stone. and the other end
fitted with tackling to which horse could
be yoked. The gorse shoots were then thrown
into circular trough or course. where they were
crushed the milestone slowly revolved. The
farmer occasionally stirred them UP with hay
fork and sprinkled 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 feld-roller, was utilized
This pattern was not 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 1t 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
abundant. The Introduction of turnips too
provided plentiful supply of food In spring. when
1t had formerly been very scarce. Farmers, more
over. grudged the amount of labor entaled In pre-
pairing the gorse, and were not unwilling that the
apparatus should fall into decay.

Senator William S. Kenyon of
Iowa. who is pictured above. is ''in
bad" in Washington. Never again
will he attempt any pleasantries in
speaking before strange audience. so
he says. Not long ago he was in
Philadelphia and spoke at a church
meeting. Among other things he said
that aside from more work and less
social diversion, the country's busi-
ness at Washington needed more pub
licity. Next morning he woke to find
himself committed against the fish
walk the hesitation and the
tango" Since then he has been
busy explaining not only to his col
leagues. but to numerous Washington
hostesses. In order to square him
self. he says he may have to learn the
new dances and do them.

sTIRs THE CAPITAL ELITE
John Barrett Makes Every NNie
Guest at Party an A.
sIstant Host.

John Barrett became the sponsor of
an innovation at his dinner dance for
the Misses Wilson, daughters of the
president, and Mrs. Wilson, which has
been the theme of much comment at
himself far-famed squire Of danes,
made of each of his men guests
similarly gallant figure.
The feat was accomplished by
means OF card bearing the follow
Ing novel legend:
Mr.. Barrett requests that each man
guest will be good enough to consider
himself an assistant host, as 1t were,
and make sure that each lady has
abundant opportunity to dance. II
necessary. he is empowered to present
this card to any lady not dancing as
medium of introduction"
A modern knighthood sprung into
flower among the tropical beauties of
the Pan-American building. where Mr.
Barretts party was given. Equipped
with his bit of pasteboard. every man
went about prepared to immediate him
self on the altar of hospitality. The
wall flower of many previous ball
of the winter was metamorphosed,
and every woman became belle. A
number of Mr.. Barrett's guests came
from other cities, and consequently
many were strangers to one another.
As to the result of the innovation,
many of Mr.. Barrett's guests insist
that his party was the most delightful
of the winter.
Popularity of the custom of appoint
ing gentleman guests assistant
hosts" is said to be assured because
of the welcome the plan received at
recent evening party.
There were plenty of partners for
the ladies. and the Misses Wilson with
the forty other guests, danced until
after midnight in the beautiful hall of
the Pan-American building. The in
PRODUCTION cards" were in evidence,
and whether acquainted with the pros
pective tango partner or not, the bit
of pasteboard was produced as evi-
dence of Mr. Barrett's effort to make
the ladies happy with full program
Mr. Barrett's innovation has become
the sensation of capital society. and
in the future 1t is expected other hosts
will have similar consideration for
the wall flowers" by including the
introduction cards" with invitations
to dinner dances
Many leaders in society said Mr.
Barrett's plan of making each gentle
man an assistant host should be fol-
lowed at many of the large functions
which are attended by guests who
come from other cities. For such
strangers the introduction card would
be the means of rounding out more
happy evening and would insure the
women guests an abundant supply of
dance numbers.
