T" -a- c KlHlrla rrmlg, Although agricultural machinery orlglnali-d tn the United States ami the American farmer used patent mower. rcii4era and threshing machine tng before their Ktirupenii contemporaries lu the same Held of labor had put aside scythe, rake ami flail, the possibility of Introducing electric power In frm work waa first recognised lu the OKI World. This haa probably beeu due to the fact that the farmer of America, thrifty and far-seeing, recognising the economy and reliability of the small oil euglue, failed to perceive how any iwvtng could be effected by generating electric current and distributing to Its tutors In outlying position. When, however, the mains from some large electric power company t"-,i In reach of a farm or estate the condi tions are much more favorable, and this atate of thin must already exist in a measure which will be largely ex tended lu the future. Current Uertn;in newspapers contain au Interesting ac count of the application of electricity to a group of farms in Saxony. The elec tric current is brought from au adja cent town by overhead wires en.-rlod on wooden poles. Two reeelvliu sta tions are arranged, from which the eKv trlclty Is distributed to the farm build ing and to convenient positions 'it the fields for the purpose of driving thresh 'tig and other machinery. Sixteen fixed electric motors are In atalled for chaff and root cutting, oat rruxhlng. pumiug and for operating machinery used In the manufacture of potato spirit. lu addltl.xi to this -er equipment, alx portib'e motors arc provided, which may he used for driv ing punjjn. circular saws, threshing ma chinery, and so forth, at any iwlnt where their servl-vs are required. The bouses and bulliliiig on the farms are all lit by electricity, 9 ar- limps and alKJUt USX) glow lumps being used for 'he purpose. It must be pointed out. however, that this example could only lie foil-mod In the United States en a very large e .tie or a group of adia vm ?jthi. and It is doubtful whether Molt a scheme innld be made a commercial sus-es f-r the iteration of farin.n m.i.-lii n.- y pun and simple.

The Maine luw regulating the sale of agricultural seeds requires that grass seed shall be sold under a guarantee as to purity. Bulletin 1TSS of the Maine agrbultural exjierltiieut station, which. doubtless, many of your reader have received, gives analysis of the seeds which were collected by the inspector and tlKe sent, to the experiment sta tion by correspondence In 1!!. The dealers are very generally conforming to the law and the purity of most seeds is now guaranteed. The question nat urally arises lu the mind of a fanner. should a wed be strictly pure, and, If not, how nearly pure should It be? The purity of seed varies greatly with tltetr ltlnd. It I possible to grow tPnotb-T seed so clean that It shall car ry practically no foreign weed seeds. It Is not as easy to grow any of the other grasses or clovers so clean. There Is no need for the sower to ever buy timothy sjhhI that Is much less than "115 per cent pure. Samples have been examined by the station the present year which contained not a single tor elgu harmful seed.

Samples of redtop carrying as high a U or even 16 per ivnt of timothy are not unusual. If one could be sure that the Impurities were harmless like chaff and timothy it might be safe to buy a redtop even as low as S3 r cent pure, fttless one Is assured of the character of the Im purities. It Is unwise to buy a redtop less thau 'A"i per cent pure. lloable-Kua-ea Saw. To make one saw take the place of two. and at the same time preserve Its durability. Is the recent Invention of an Indiana man. K v e r y carpenter Includes two saws In his klt-otte for cross-cut and one for cutting with the grain. lie can now dispense with one saw. as It Is IsMSlble to put the two blades having dlffereut teeth on hs two totrs. the one saw, a shown In the Illustration. The smooth top edge always seen on saws is changed to a cutting edge, simi lar to the regular cutting edge, the saw thus having teeth n the two longi tudinal opposite edges. The handle Is hinged to the blade Instead of being rigid and can be reversed a It become nis-essary to use either blade. This saw Is also an economical saw, as It saves the exene of urehalt! two Ml W S. aail fnrm stole. The profitable line of production Is to maintain good health with early ma turity.
