The spindles are of round iron, squared and pointed at one and squared where it ratchet disk. Threefeet above the water is fastened into the wall of the well a beast sill 4 by 4, to which are fastened two No. 10 galvanized wires, at the proper distance apart. A crosspiece is fastened just un- der the Windlass and a few inches from the center to let the rope pass freely. The Wires pass through holes in this piece and are drawn up very tightly, so as to keep the descending cage or box steady. The lower stick must be placed parallel with the top one.

An improvement on the usual custom of leather or chain traces for the horse drawing up the hay fork is the substi- tution of iron rod traces. Usually long traces are employed, and. the whifiletree is allowed to trail on the ground, when grams, any carpénter can easily erect one, and if he is at all bright can do so Without a diagram. IRON ROD TRACKS [)3 POSITION. the horse is very liable to get his foot; over the traces. or else the driver has to carry the whiflietree when the horse is turned round. In some cases the Whitfieâ€" tree is tied up to the breeching. but this method is liable to make a nasty sore on the horse just. above the hock. An improvement over either of these plans is to obtain two three-eighth inch iron rods as traces. These are hooked on to ordinary plow harness hooks at the hames and hang in tug bearers from the breeching. Holes are made in the other ends of the rods, into which the whiffieâ€" tree hooks. The sketch reproduced from the Cana- dian Live Stock Journal enables the method to be understood: A, A, is the iron rod in position; B the tug bearer, with a. pad at B to prevent chafing with the weight, C the whimetree in position, allowing the horse to move quickly and freely without risk of chafing or getting his legs over the traces.

P.MCARTHUR CO’S, KENT=ST.- THE WATEHMAN, LINDSAYJHURSDAY, JULY 11TH. 1895. With Improved Implements Farmers Con- trol the Situation and Avoid Drudgery. Clover should be cut when in full bloom zmd timothy immediately after the blossoms have fallen. With the in- troduction of improved implements, the necessity for cutting grass in lowery or doubtful weather has passed away. Smooth meadows, a. good team and a. wide cut mower make it possible to se- cure the hay crop in good season with- out cutting grass while wet with dew or rain. A correspondent of Rural New Yorker gives his plan as follows: I would do the mowing between 8 o’clock and 12 o’clock in the forenoon of a fair day, when the weather promised to be favorable, and would rake as soon as good work can be done with the‘horse rake. The windrows should be of fair, size, care being taken to have them 1 straight and sung. If the weather should change and threaten rain, the hay must ‘ be placed in cocks, but if the time for cutting has been well chosen, it may re- main in the rows until the second day. Sometimes it may be necessary to turn the windrows, but, as a rule, the hay should be exposed to sun and wind as little as possible in the process of curing. Hay does'not require as much drying as was formerly supposed, and may be put in the new in acomparatively green state if free from water. I have never used a hay tedder and do not think it would pay for care and storage, to say nothingof the cost of the tool. By 10 or 11 o’clock of the second day the hay , loader may be put to work on the wind- The loader' 13 a metal implement es- pecially with light help and for short hay and. rakinm.

I have had 15 years’ experience with the loader, and have cured several hundred tons of both clover and timothy in the windrow as above stated. The labor required is less than by any other method, and the quality of the hay is satisfactory. I would begin haying when medium clover is in full bloom and would try to secure the crop without exposure to rain or dew. I would use an easily handled mowing machine, cutting at least six feet in width, 3 self dumping rake, that a 12-year-old boy or girl can operate, the hay loader, the low wagon with wide tires and a double harpoon horse fork. By using such implements the farmer controls the situation, and the old time drudgery of haying has passed There will be an enormous sum of money spent by American tourists in Europe this summer and there will be a lot of experience brought back. check the Ch‘m‘éfi Bugs. Illinois farmers ought to apply to the Illinois experiment station at Urbana for bulletin No. 38. It contains an ex- haustive discussion of the mascardine disease of the chinch bug and of some experiments with the trap and barrier method for destroying these insects. In general it may be said the conclusions remixed are only moderately encourag- lngastogreathelptobeexpectedfrom the introduction of disease among the huge, but very positive as to possibility of checking the injury done by them to a. great extent by means of traps and barriers, details of which are fully given in the bulletin.

Rockefeller, $150,000,000; William Waldorf Astor, $125,000,000; Cornelius Vanderbilt, $100,000,000; Russell Sage, $90,000,000; William K.

In the same list there would be at least two estates, that of Jay Gould, $100,000,000, and of Moses Tay- lor, $50,000,000. J. Pierpont Morgan. $40,000,000; Betty Green, $40,000,000 ; Frederick W.
