to plant tested seed at about the same
rate as the stand desired and do no

A more general use of efficient har-
more economical use of labor. A corn
binder with an attachment for elevat-
ing the bundles of corn into q wagon

than 1t is for harvesting ensilage corn.
There Is also on the market a machine
that converts the corn into ensilage

from which II Is sucked or lifted into
the silo. The use of either of these
machines, especially the latter, would
do away with the necessity OF much

chine cutters. However, the greater
part Of the corn that Is now cut by
hand labor could be harvested by ma.
chinery, economizing labor and doing
the work In q less laborious manner.
Much of the corn that Is now husked
from the shocks could be handled more
economically and with a saving in feed
value of slower by substituting ma
chine huskers and shredders for hand
labor. The use of corn pickers would
accomplish similar results In the case
of corn husked from the standing
stalks. Unloading and elevating ma

duced and more generally used In
many sections where II is low UNI

such facilities are not available cribs
should be constructed In such a man
ner that they can be filed and emptied
with the least possible labor. For
level ground. double cribs with m ele-
waited driveway and approaches that
will enable the loads to be driven
through the cribs and dumped or
scooped out OF the wagons without any
high pitching are very satisfactory.

rlaoler,a Florida Railroad.

There is no RAILROAD from Key West
to Cuba, and could not well be, as
nearly 200 miles of ocean intervene.
What Mr.. Flagler did was to build a
railroad along the eastern coast OF
Florida to It's southern extremity, and
thence on piles and artificial viaducts
TO Key West, and to provide for the
transportation of loaded trains both
ways between Key West and Cuba by
huge ocean ferry boats constructed and
equipped specially for the service.
There are no figures at hand rs to the
cost of the work done by Mr.. Flag
Ter. 1t has been of great commercial
value.
