Labor Saving Methods of Harvesting
Corn.

Usually most satisfactory results are
obtained with three-horse team, and
sometimes four horses are necessary
when the corn is heavy or the ground
hilly. In ordinary yields, one man OPP
Grating the binder will keep two men
busy gathering the bundles and shock
ing them. These three men cutting
and shocking by hand would scarcely
cover more than four acres In q day
and 1t would be necessary to work
much harder than when the corn bind
err Is used, thus the machine requiring
less labOrious work takes from one
half to two-thirds as long to cut a Civ.
en- acreage.
When the binder Is used for cut
ting corn for silage the labor of at
least two men will be saved as com
pared to cutting by hand. One binder
will usually be able to cut the corn
as fast as a IL or 14-inch sIlage cutter
can handle it. A great deal of time
is saved in unloading at the cutter,
because the corn is in bundles, which
enables further reduction in the size
of the harvesting crew.
A bundle elevator attachment to the
corn binder saves further labor. BY
this attachment the bundles of corn
are delivered directly to a wagon driv-
en- by the side of the binder. This
method eliminates another man in the
crew. When the bundles are dropped
from the binder to the ground two men
are generally required to hand them
up as fast as one man can arrange
them on the wagon. When an eleva-
tor attachment is used one man usual
ly arranges the bundles on the Wagon
as they are delivered from the binder
and another man or boy drives thu
team.
The platform harvester is the mos
satisfactory machine when the acre
age in corn Is not sufficiently large t,
justify binder. This machine con
sists of an A-shaped platform on loy
wheels two sides of which are equip
ped with knives. 1t Is drawn by on
horse, operated by two men, and cut
. two rows at a time. The men gathe
the stalks as they are cut, and whe
, the shock is reached the horse
> stopped and the men carry the cut cor
to the shock. In cutting corn with
, platform harvester for silage niue
time can be saved and efficient wor
| done If wagon Is driven nlongsid
/ the harvester and the corn placed @
: 1t directly as it is cut. By this metho
: approximately five acres of corn yiel,
o ing 8 tons of silage per acre const
tutes a fair days work. Two me
with platform harvester and OF
horse will cut and shock at least {
/. much corn In a day as three men GU
l. ting by hand. This machine thus Ia
: ing the place of one hired helper W
e very nearly pay for itself in cutting
e acres.

is NO LONGER EXPERIMENT
Garden City Has Been Proved to Be
Complete Success by Its Devel-
opment In England.

While the community Idea in this
country should not exactly be called
negative expression, its development
to date hardly warrants terming 1t a
positive enterprise.
Concerning this movement Noble
Fost Hagen says:
THE garden city and town-plantlng
movement has reached the highest
point of effectiveness in England ana
has proved something more than a sue
cessful experiment.
1.-THE model villages Of Letchworth,
Port Sunlight Bournville, which pro-
vide homes, real homes. for working
people, are artistic creations OF men
possessed Of splendid imagination and
sympathetic understanding. Add to
these Hampstead Garden suburbs. the
Garden village near Cardiff, with their
picturesque winding roads and vine
covered dwellings, and one may look
in vain for their counterpartS in Amer
lea. They are nothing less than fairy
garden spots
"The difference between the garden
city and the garden suburb is that the
| first is separate entity, selr-sus-
tanning unit; the latter lies on the
outskirts of large cities and becomes
part thereof.
"There is no distinct and overwhelm-
ing element of philanthropy as basis
for the creation of these model towns.
They are paying investments from the
practical point OF view. The plan has
been for number of manufacturers to
give serious thought to the furthering
of the garden city movement. The con
gestion in our large cities, contrary tC
all natural laws has about reached It's
limit We can no longer excuse our
selves for past errors in town plan
ming on the theory that this Is youni
country. New towns are being laid on
today with the same nitiful lack o
constructive Imagination as hereto
fore, paralleled streets, giving the as
pect of great, ugly chcckerboard M
civic centers, no Fairgrounds, lnsutil
. cient parks.
"The garden cities that are destined
TO bloom in America and that are Z
? be the result of movement fathere
, by American industrial institution:
, should be equal, If not superior, to an
, like developments anywhere In tn
, world"

PIT SILO NOW A
FEED CONSERvER
In Great Plains States Under
ground Type Is Quickly Con-
StruCted and Permanent.
SILAGE IS WELL PRESERVED
Receptacle Should Last Indefinitely
Little Material Not on Average
Farm ls Required-FilIing
Not Expensive.

(From the United States Department of
Agriculture.)
The pit silo, not a makeshift If prop
erly built has become permanent
feed conserver on farms of the Great
Plains region. 1t is inexpensive and
quickly constructed by unskilled labor
during the lull In farm work just before
fall harvesting. A farmer using his
own labor, obtaining sand and gravel
at small cost, and employing home
made hoisting apparatus for lifting the
silage, can build pit silo Of $50 to $50
tons capacity Mt a cash outlay Of about
$50, cement being the chief Item of ex-
pendlture. AS a guide to those who
wish to build such silos, a publication
of the United States Department of Ag-
ricullure, Farmers Bulletin S25, "Pit
Silos" gives the details of construction
and drawings illustrating the process
and methods of making hoists.
Many Benefits of Sio.
Properly constructed pit silos, requir-
ing little material not already on the
average farm, should last indefinitely,
and the upkeep is small. The cost of
masonry sio is often prohibitive In
the Great Plains region because the
: materials must be hauled from distant
railroad points. Wooden silos often
weaken rapidly under the climatic con
ditlons peculiar to this region. Pit 81
los cannot be blown down; silage II

Ia, hn Gil ,
never frozen filling is a much less ex
pensive operation; and the labor of get
ting Silage out of the pit, which come
during the period when farm work i
not pressing, is reduced by home mad'
windlasses or pulley lifts.
AS 1t is impracticable and even dan
gerous to make a pit slo in certail
types of soil, farmer should know tn
character of his soil before attemptin
to build one, department specialist
say.
Locate the silo near the feed lot
possible. If feeding is to be done in
barn, or 6 feet, at least, should b
left between the edge of the pit and tn
barn. Farmers Bulletins 461, "The Us
of Concrete on the Farm" and SO!
Homemade Silos," give valuable II
formation and detailed instruction
concerning the mixing, handling and r.
inforcng of concrete, the constructio
of walls, and so on.

desired, thewindlass maybe replaced by
a pulley, and horse or team used
to lift the slage. This Is the common
practice where large numbers of cat
tle are fed. The silage box after being
filled and hoisted can be swung over a
wagon or attached to trolley on an
overhead track, or placed upon truck.
Such hoisting device may be placed
so that 1t can be used to empty two or
even three silos. Whatever kind OF
carrier for the silage is built, or pur-
chased, it should have trip bottoms,
end or side. so that 1t may be unloaded
easily. Other forms of hoists and over

GIVES DETAILS OF
 HOW HOKEY BAKER MET HIS DEATH

WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.-Describ ing how Hobey. Baker, the great American athlete, met his death in France. 45 minutes after his release from the service, Lieut.. Edward C. Olds, who was adjutant on the staff of the Second Army Air Service, to which CaptoB Baker belonged, says
 "There was a ship in the hangar belonging to one of his officers, ne engine of which had ogne bad fev' days before. It had been repaired, and Capt Baker decided to use his last trip to test out the repaired en- zine.
 Both his officers and mechanics strongly urged him not to do so, but he insisted He was up only 150 meters when the engine failed. He dropped rapidly, and if he had con tinued straight ahead would Lave landed in some small trees and wires. However, he didewhat so many good aviators do just once too often he tried to get back to, the field, nos ing down to gain headway, ptarted into vrille and crashed, being al most instantly killed. He was buried near Major Lufberry, fin the little American cemetery of the United States evacuation hospital No. 1, at Menil-La-Tour, just North of Tours.

AGAIN IS SHOWN
 TRUTH STRANGER THAN FICTION
Remarkable Meeting in New York Recalls InCi- dent of Life in a Rus
 sian Prison.

NEW YORK, Feb. 19.-When Mime. Catherine Breshkovsky, affectionate- ly known to millions of Russians as "Babushka, or the little grandmoth- CT of the Russian Revolution,' stop ped in the midst of an impassioncd address to 150 prominent Americans at the Henry street settlement here the other day to embrace and kiss George Kennan, the author and ex- plorer who came in unexpectedly up on the gathering, there remained to be told the story of remarkable friendship that began 35 years ago | in the wilds of Siberia.
 Seated before log fire in his home on Fifth Avenue overlooking the gaunt trees of Central Park, MT. Kennan related with great vividness and sympathy that phase of his ex- pose of the Russian prison horrors
 and the exile which, in 1885 brought | him in touch with "Babushka,", then | political prisoner in a little burat or village called Selenginsk in the
 most desolate part of the Trans-Bai- kal.
 "She was the only civilized, edu- cated woman within radius of 300
 miles," said MT. Kennan. "She made
 very deep impression upon me as
 woman of heroic character, great ] fortitude and indominable cheerful ness I never expected to see her
 again when I left her that day in ! 1885 because it seemed probable that she would die in exile. Already she
 had spent four years of her life in the mines at Kara Eastern Siberia, where political offenders were sub | jected to the most rigorous punish
 ment, starved, and cruelty beaten by
 armed criminals of the Black Hun
 dred' engaged by czardom to destroy
 all those who opposed autocracy.
 "It didn't seem possible that a
 woman could live under such hor-
 TOTS. The severity of the treatment
 proved fatal to thousands of the most
 rugged men. And so, when I bade
 Mme. Breshkovsky goodbye it was with the saddest misgiving. Her
 last words to me were: MT. Kennan,
 we may die in exile and our children | may die in exile and our children $ children may die in exile-but some thing will come of it at last
 "So you will understand that when,
 after a lapse of so many years, saw "Babushka' alive and well here l-strong, courageous, and determined
 as ever in spite of her 75 years - you will understand when I say that
 our meeting was one of the most dra
 matic experiences in my life.
 l T had gone to Russia on secret J mission and while I was there Mime.
 Breshkovsky made one of her at tempts to escape from Siberia, and, disguised as man, did succeed in | travelling 400 miles, almost to Irk
 utsk, before she was recaptured.
 During my three years residence | in Russia I met 'Babushka' several
 times and always she was the same
 cheerful, unconquerable spirit. On my last visit to her, to which I al
 ready have referred, she was ex-
 fled in the most Northerly part of Si-
 beria within the Arctic Circle, and
 lived alone in log hut destitute of the barest comforts. Day and
 night she was guarded by armed po- lice and had food only sufficient to ! keep her alive"
