was the log or plank roller. Here
was something that would roll up
ONTO the lump and crush it fine. 1t
rolled instead Of having TO be dragged
over the ground which made it easier
TO cover the field with it. This roller
made a valuable aid to the harrow IN
crushing Jumps, and also packed the
soil firmly together, making a com
pact seed bed. The fault with thi.
tool was that it touched only the hlgh
spots. Walking behind it you could
see that it rolled up onto the high
places of the field and thus missed the
low spots completely Another OBJ
lection was that as it rolled land out
far and from such surface the water
would evaporate as it would from
stone sidewalk, thus losing valuable
moisture.
1t also had the same fault as the
drag, namely, that it did not get down
beneath the surface very far.
In spite of the objections to tho
old log roller, however, its use grew.
Steel and iron rollers were made in
similar patterns, and though not en-
tirely tactical for the work they
were the best thing that the farmer
could find for the purpose
Like all big problems, this one OF
lpulverizing the soil has required a long
time to solve. Like other problems
the answer is so simple when it
solved that everybody wonders why
some one did not think of it before.
Instead OF long drum on an axle
here is substituted number OF chilled
semi-steel wheels with edges shaped
in a compound curve No one needs
to be told thar these wheels will do :
good job OF crushing humps, They
have the right shape and the weigh
necessary to do the business. An.
ether thing. they dig down deep into
the soil and in this wa ythey coverSh,
surface, not touching the high spot!
and leaving the low ones as the old
| fashioned roller used to do.
At first there was only one row o
these. but later on some one sug
gested second set of wheels behint
the first, and in doing so added thu
finishing touch needed to perfect tn,
modern crusher and pulverier
The back gang of wheels come wit
their edges between those of the from
gang so that not single lump i
missed but this is not all
The front gang OF wheels builds
series of ridges four inches apart AN
the rear gang splits these in the cente
tearing down the ridges made by tn
front gang. and making another Sc
of ridges OF its own, the field bein
left in ridges four inches apart
, So the Jumps are crushed thorough
ly to a depth OF five or six inches, tn
fsoil down beneath is packed by tn
weight of the machine, and still tn,
surface is left as a cultivator would
leave it.
This Implement is heavy, and ;
heavy one is needed to do proper pack
ing and pulveriing, but when fitted
with roller bearings like those uset
on an automobile, the effort required
to pull ii is greatly decreased and the
heavy machine can readily be handled
by two horses
Somebody with ready tongue for
names christened the new tool the
"Culti-Packer" and as such it has be
come known by farmers who use it

AGRICULTURAL DEPARTMENT

finer All plant roots have certain
time they also help to make the soil
chemical action on the soil, tending
to break it into finer particles and to
make it mellow.
A well known farmer editor sug-
gests an experiemnt made by taking
two common tumblers, placing three
kernels of corn in each, and i'll one Q
handful of finely pulveried soil, in the
other soil tull of Jumps.
If these tumblers are then placed
out doors, where they can receive the
rain and sunshine, the difference will
be quickly seen between the fine seed
bed in which the roots are closely
surrounded by soil and the coarsc
seed bed where the roots are getting
no plant food.
If you could look through a pane
Of glass and see things working II
your field you would notice these
conditions and you would know
at once how to remedy the trouble
First, you would make the soil finer
then to bring it still more closely
around the roots you would press and
pack it firmly, thus getting the roots
and soil cloesly together.
Your observations in the field have
taught you these two things: that
your soil should be finely pulverized
and that it must be firmly packed and
pressed together. There is no ques
ton but that farmers realize this
The difficulty is that they do not be-
lieve that the work can be done in a
reasonable length OF time, and they
.hink while such things are theoret-
cally good, it is practically impossible
to obtain such conditions.
Proper methods and farm nipple,
ments have decreased the labor Of
preparing the seed bed. Actual dem
onstrations without number, by dif
ferent experiment stations have
shown that two acres rightly pre-,
pared will yield more than three acres
seeded when in poor condition. 1t o.
course requires more energy to pre-
pare it properly, however, it is tim'
well spent. You have but the cost o
seed for two acres, and the cultivatinj
requires only two-thirds OF the time
The other OGRE OF land can be use,
for other crops.
One well-known speaker on farr
topics says in reference>to preparin
the seed bed:
"Tf the average farmers wife pre-
pared his own bed as badly as tn
farmer prepares his seed bed, h
would sue her for divorce"

Looking for the Right Tool.

Somebody evidently reasoned out
long ago that Jumps cannot always
be cut or dragged to pieces, and hence
the number OF home made lump crush
ers that were in common use years
ago. Ingenious devices, too. some

Recipe for Happiness.

The man who made ex-President
William H. Taft simmer, DR.. Charles
e. Barker of Washington, gave the fol-
lowing recipe for happiness in an adj
dress at Chicago: Look on the bright
side of every experience. Accept cheer
fully the place in which you find your
self today. Throw your soul into your
work. Do as many little kindnesses
as possible each day. Maintain a child
like attitude of trust in your God.
The rich, as class, are the most un-
happy people on earth because they
think they can buy happiness, like a
commodity on the market. Poor peo-
pie frequently are happy, not because
Of their poverty, but because they have
found the laws of happiness. Happi-
ness does not depend upon externals
at all. It is dependent upon laws that
can be learned and obeyed."

by young and old alike. The variety
was weld selected-the sublime and

Mexican border, and the exciting
portrayal of life on the ocean wave,
to placid burlesques incident to
everyday life, and laughable com

saw in the Victoria and Albert mu.
scum a teapot which was presented by
Lord George Berkeley to the East In
dfa company. 1t is said to be the carr
lest teapot known, and the date 1910 is
given. This pot is shaped like a coffee
pot.
Ny grandmother, singularly we'll
bred old lady, and her women friends
always poured tea from cup to saucer
and drank from the saucer, which was
very thin but of a generous size. In
too many hotels and even in some pri-
vate houses the cups ARE too thick. A
sensitive person finds the tea served
in them tasteleSS. AS for that, few
women know how to brew tea. AS
rule it is too strong. For this and 9TH
err reasons I prefer ale in it's native
pewter. Perhaps was aided in this
choice by an entry in the journal of
the Rev. John Wesley, July 6, 1746,
in which he speaks of his leaving off
the drinking of tea as an example to
the poorer Methodists, thinking it
would prevent great expense of health,
time and money "The first three days
my head ached more or less, all day
long and I was half asleep from morn
ing to night. The third day, on
Wednesday in the afternoon, my mem
DRY failed almost entirely. In the eve
ming l sought my remedy in prayer,
On Thursday morning my headache
was gone; my memory was as strong
as ever, and I have found no incon-
venience, but a sensible benefit In sew
eral respects, from that very day to
this"
Yet according to this journal tea
was beneficial in a case cited by Wes-
ley in the preceding May, an amazing
instance of distress" A sensible young
woman, who had constantly attended
church, lay sick of a fever. She be-
lieved the devil had her soul and body.
"If she swallowed anything, she cried
out she was swallowing fire and brim-
stone" For over twenty days she took
nothing but water. She had no sleep
day or night, but lay cursing and
disappearing, tearing her clothes, and
whatever she could reach, in pieces.
Wesley prayed with her. I'm few
days after, she began to drink little
tea afterward God turned her
heaviness into JOY"
