Iron- bound affairs and are used fcr any sort of small! load work. It le usually a 2- wheel cart that takes th£ milk to mar- ket and that hauls out the manure from the etablcs. A few days after my encounter with the wagon painters, going along a by- road I met an old man driving one of these cartss The body of this vehicle was perched way above the wheels and extended out over the horse's withers and for an equal distance be- hind. It is a commcn type of cart UiSisd for hauling bullcy material. Noting my interest, the old man told a story about it, a story he recalled hearing his father tell. May Turn Out All Risht. It seems that the cart was made to order. When this man's father got word It w^s ready for delivery he went around to inspect the new vehicle be- fore finally making the purchase. At this Inspection one of the hubs did not appear quite satisfactory, and he was on the point of calling off t'ne sale wlien the wheelwright sternly protest- ed. He claimed the wheel was aa ffouad as- any he had ever made, des- pite an apparent surface mar of soma sort. FinaJly the cart was brought home under the strict understanding that If ths wheel eirer showed any weaUneas it would be replaced free of charge. "That's been nigh Into seventy years ago;" said the driver to me, "and I be- lieve it's going to turn out to be a pretty good wheel." There are several angles to this "nothing wears out" tendency of equipment on English farms-.

But the typical 2-horse plow in de- sign looks like the great-grandfather of the hoarleet old implement we have over here. It is known as the Kent plow. The beam and bandies are the main part of the plow shoot are all of wood. The beam, I should judge, is more than eight feet long, and the handles slope far back. These plows appealed to me as be- Horse's Pulling Power. There can be no doubt that weight l8 an important factor in the produc- tion of a horse that can pull a heavy load.

Tributes to his mag- nScent airmanship ire [mid him almoiit every day, for there are many welt known people who, when flying from England to the Continent, will only book passages in machles piloted by him. Perhaps the most remarkable aspect of his feat was that in the race he at- tained an average speed of over a hun- dred and fifty miles an hour, which is a record. As he landed. Captain Bar- nard pushed forward to receive his wife's congratulations. "I'm glad you won," I heard her say, "but I'm much more glad you got back all right." ' Doctor's Orders.

The World's wFnds. The best-known wind in the world is the ti-ade wind. It Is commonly as- sumed that the word is connected with trade or coilimerce, because in the old seiling^hip days mariners used to seek this wind that it might blow them steadily in the right direction, be dependable, and not subject to vari- ation or calm. This is a common error. In AngIo-Sa.xon, it was the tredde- wind, a wind with a specific tread, trend, or direction. ; The trade wind, then, is one of uni- form track.
