CHARGES AS SEEN BY
A HENBY COUNTY FARMER
John V. Streed, a Henry county
farmer, in a paper read recently, in
dulged in the following reminiscent
strain:
"In the early part of the last cen
tury, if the farmer desired to plant
his corn he must hitch his team to a
marker, mark the land both ways,
get a hoe, spade or sharpened stick,
make a hole in the ground and drop
a few kernels at a time; doing all the
walking, digging and covering up
himself; now a team is hitched to a
corn planter with a check rower at
tachment and the machine marks out
the land, digs holes, plants the corn
and covers it up as rapidly as a team
can be driven.
Ve can remember when the scythe
was the farmers only mower, his
rake was a hand rake or a pitchfork.
and his children, if he had any old
enough, would be pressed into service
in going along the swaths, turning
them over to the sun to dry, bunch
ing three or four of them into one
swath, and the older people would
follow and build the haycocks. When
the hay was put in the barn the
muscle of all the available help
would be taxed to the utmost in get
ting the hay off the load into the
hay mow. Xow the team is hitched
to a mower and the farmer or his
help oils the machine and drives the
team. When the farmer gets ready
to put the hay in the barn his team
is hitched to a wagon on which there
is a hay rack, a. loader is attached, a
boy drives the team while the load
is being built and at the barn the
horse and the hay fork do the rest.
"In former days his only means of
harvesting his grain was with cradle
and scythe. These were displaced by
a reaper so arranged that a man
could rake the bundles off the plat
form; later by a reaper with a self
rake attachment, later by the self-
binder, now by the self-binder, which
carries a convenient number ox
bundles to the desired place, where
they are dumped.
"At first the threshing machine
was a flail or a horse or other ani
mal with which he could clean but a
few bushels a day. Invention has
produced a machine that threshes
and measures the grain at thousands
of bushels in one day and also stacks
the straw and for men and horse
power has been substituted the
steam engine. '
"At first the farmer shelled his
corn by hand, then by a sheller which
turned with a crank; now by a shell
er which is run by steam. Formerly
the farmer used to shock his corn by
hand and husk it by hand and cut
up the stalks for fodder by hand;
now he has a machine that cuts the
corn and binds it into bundles of con
venient size, and another machine
which will husk the corn and shred
the stalks. And all these improve
ments and others incident ally benefit
the farmer's wife, inasmuch as they
relieve her of the cooking and dish
washing necessarily incident to tie
employment of the large gangs of
men formerly required to do the work
now accomplished by said machines.
Sowing and seeding machines have
been jerfected which greatly light
ens his labors and enables him to do
more work in a given time than he
formerly could do. Plows and culti
vators, etc., have leen greatly im
proved the windmill and steam or
gasoline engine have now to a great
extent displaced the windlass and
hand pump.
"In those days the farmer traveled
on foot, horseback, or in a lumber
wagon; now he takes his choice be
tween the bicycle, enclosed carriage
or automobile. In those days he
conducted his correspondence by
means of the lead pencil or the goose
quill; now he has in addition to these
the steel pen. the fountain pen and
the typewriter. In those clays if he
desired to get together a gang of men
for any purpose it was necessary for
him to drive from place to place and
engage the services of his neighbors
and erhaps the greatest distance at
which he could communicate with his
neighbor would be the width of a
forty-acre lot; now he can step to
the telephone and in a few moments
engage the services of his neighlsrs;
and as far as communication is con
cerned a separation of two or three
thousand miles would be no greater
obstacle now than a forty-acre lot
was then.
"Formerly he relied on the wetkly
ncwspnjH-r for the news and he had
to hitch up his team and go to town
or send by his neighbors for the mail:
now he gets his daily and other mail
delivered in a mail box at his front
gate every day in the week except
Sundays.
"In the early part of the last cen
tury the way for the farmer in this
locality to get his farm products to
market was to convey them in a lum
ber wagon from his place to Chicago,
or some other distant city; now a
distance of eight miles is considered
a rather serious drawback."
keWanee soldier has
circumnavigated globe
Matt P. Miles, a Kewanne young
men has circumnavigated the globe.
Three years ago he enlisted in the
23d U. S. infantry. In the time since
then, says the Star-Courier, he has
totn lecalmed on . the Pacific, has
sweltered under Philippine suns, pre
sented arms to the sultan of Sulu.seen
the wonders of Singapore, traveled
up the Suez canal, noted the wicked
ness of Port Said, gazed v upon the
mighty guns of Gibraltar, battled
with a fierce Atlantic storm and en
joyed the quiet Xermont life at Fort
Ethan Allen.
Experiences that woulc'! fill an in
teresting book have been crowdeil in
to these three yars. Through them
all, Mr. Miles has come in safety, al
though his life was in danger as his
company charged the swarming pi
rates of Sulu. for the greater part of
the time he was in the Orient was
spent in the archipelago.
He was not seriously injured during
all his campaigning, but twice he was
compelled to lie many weeks in the
hospitals owing to the debilitating ef
fect of the dreaded Philippine feer.
Xo'v, however, he has entirely recov
ered and weighs more than when he
left Kewanee.
Salvation Army Services.
Itev. J. S. Jrllison, an evangelist, is
here from Chicago, holding meetings
at the Salvation Army hall. He is an
effective sir.ger as well as a magnetic
and convincing sjeaker, and it is ex
pected that much good will be. ac
complished during the week of his
stay here. Capt. and Mrs. S. H. Nmi
ert, officers in command of the local
corps, are assisting in the services.
and they extend a cordial invitation
to the public to attend. Services
will be held tomorrow ot 10:30 a. m,
and at 3 and 8 p. m.
A Care for Lumbago.
"Some time ago my daughter
caught a severe cold. She complain
ed of pains in her' chest and had a
bad cough. I gave her Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy according to di
rections and in two days she was
well and able to go to school. I have
used this remedy in my family for
the past seven years and have never
known it to fail," says James Pren-
dergast, merchant, Annato Hay, Ja
maica, West India Islands. The pains
in the chest indicated an approaching
attack of pneumonia, which in' this
instance was undoubtedly warded off
by Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. It
counteracts any tendency of a cold
toward pneumonia. Sold by all
druggists.

The Air ship Sails. -The
recent trial performance of an
airship in Paris was very successful,
inasmuch as it sailed as well against
the wind as with it. This gives them
a new principle to work on, and
some day we may see an airship in
vented that will be practical for
many uses. This mode of travel will
doubtless supplant many other means
of transportation, the same as Hos
tetter's Stomach Hitters has sup
planted many inferior medicines in
the cure of indigestion, dyspepsia,
constipation, liver and kidney trou
bles or malaria. If you are a sufferer
from any of these diseases don't fail
