came a man who, by hand, dropped

man with a hoe, who covered up

Then came the mechanical corn

would get hard crust on it max
ing it difficult or impossible for the
tender sprouts to come through.
Another thing we, as boys. re-
member. The cultivation of the
corn after it came up was with a
horse and plow with a man be-
tween the handles, who did the
best he could, but it was impos-
sible to keep dirt from covering
some of it and it fell to the lot
of the farmers lad to follow with
a small rake and uncover it. Sulky
plows are now fitted with guards
which at least obviates this uncov-
ering process, to great extent
so that the youngster had more
time to go to the village store-for
nothing in particular.
One important workman on the
farm was the fellow who did the
"furrOWing out" or scoring" in
corn planting time. There were
men who were especially good at
drawing straight burrows across
the field, guided by pole at the
other end. 1t took horse trained
for drawing straight burrows, the
plowman directing the horse by

There used 20 be an old savire

more burrows that were crooked

HORSE AND BUGGY
DAYS .
BY the Old Lamp Lighter

There are those living today
| who remember the advent of the
self-binder harvesting reaper. A
wonderful piece of mechanism, it
was considered when we watched
it cut and then bind the sheaves
| OF wheat as it moved across the
field, ponderous machine, drawn
by four heavy draft horses, but as
years passed by and improvements
continued to be made, the machine
| dwindled down to a binder prob
ably half the size of the first one.
The first self binder to arrive in
a particular farming community
| was indeed an object of much in
terest and curiosity marvel of
mans mechanical ingenuity. And
what a howl" went up from GER
| tain individuals who saw at once
| that the laboring man would be
considerably interferred with. At
first the binder would cut the grain
and bind it into sheaves. Later on
device for gathering the sheaves
and depositing them on piles was
added as distinct improvement.
This was considered another mar
| vel of invention. Then it only re-
| NAMED for one or two men to fol-
low and stand the sheaves on end
| with a cap" on top, known as
shocks. Here the harvested grain
remained until the farmer could
| find time to haul it into the barn
or probably erect stacks either in
the field or in close proximity to
the barn in case the barn did not
hold all of it. 1t was generally
placed on top of hay, deposited in
the bottom of the NOV.
By the way this hay was hauled
to the barn floor and pitched off
into the NOW with forks, more or
less labOrious task. But it was
done as matter of course, not
knowing any other way at the time
until the hay fork was invented
| which, in several bites" would
pick up load and swing it into
the NOW.
We wonder how many men re-
| member, that, as boys, they had
to get in on top of the haw in the
NOV, and tramp, tramp, tramp. so
as to get more wheat and hay un-
der the roof of the barn. And
wasn't it hot? Perhaps you re-
member. Also, it was not an un-
usual thing for the women mem
bers of the family to be pressed
into service for this job
And more up to date, or more
strictly speaking seasonable, was
morn planting. This time is fast
approaching. Already farmers are
busy plowing. And by the way,
you do not have as many workers
rln the field at corn planting time
as back in the horse and buggy
days. which, while it had it's hard
er labor problems. nevertheless,
has it's fond recollections of COM
paratively care-free days.

Plainly Noah's flood was real his
tory and not one of the hazy legends
of universal foundations which are
found in many nations. Corrobo-
ration was provided also In the dis
covery of Babylonian record of .
deluge, identical in many details.
This sensational uncovering of the
veracity of the Bible-and there
have been many lesser ones in re-
cent years-demonStrates how God
vindicates His word, and brings
afresh to the world the present
truth of His ancient teachings.
When the World Was Rotton.
In the presence OF such startling
facts as the archaeologists have
given us, we should not forget the
profounder spiritual significance of
the story. The Genesis record is
of a world grown rotten with sin.
From other sources we have indi-
cations of the nature of the preva-
lent vices - lust, intemperance,
greed, oppression. The holy Eternal
could not endure 1t longer. The
hour had struck for a great purge.
God is represented as sorry that
He had made man, with the divine
quality Of choice. For man had
used his freedom to choose evil.
That is the price the Almighty pays
for having created us as sons.
But amidst these evildoers was
a man who walked with God, who
went Gods way. kept company with
Him. fellowshipped with Him and
did His will. Thus Noah became
the deliverer Of the race.
In our times, with sin rampant,
we are strangely obtuse to the part
that godly folk are playing In the
saving Of society. No secular pub
lication presents = clear and pro-
portioned picture Of the church In
our world and the influence 1t
Yields. Our millions of humble
Christians, In Christian homes and
Christian churches and schools, are
the saving salt of society. Per-
haps more Of us should be writing
to our editors about this. as we
grieve over the disproportionate
space given to sports and comics
and society and other lesser inter-
