HISTORICAL —Freighted with, memories, this Conestoga wagon is, posed at entrance to the
covered bridge which lead* to the Shelburne Museum, Shelburne, Vt., where it will be displayed
beside other significant examples of the carriage-and-wagon makers’ art. The freighter of the
plains -from 1750 to 1850, the Conestoga wagon was usually about 24 feet long and could trans
port a load of up to five tons.- when tied to a six-horse bitch. Save for its cloth cover, this
relic of another aee is in a remarkable state of preservation.

By FRANCES DELL
About this time of year home
makers all over America begin to
think about spring house-clean
ing. The latest theory about this
custom is that if you are a good
housekeeper spring cleaning will
not be necessary. However, even
if you are the kind of homemak
er who makes it unnecssary, you
may benefit by looking over your
house with a.critical eye.
We often become so accustom
ed to the surroundings, we don’t
notice the chair we had done
over two years ago, or the living
room walls that need looking
after.

a better understanding of living
and working conditions,” Anders

About Your Home
This year, why not try to do
better than that and really
plant it and .care for it 9 Its;
beauty greatly enhances the
home.
There was an interesting story
m the newspapers a few weeks
ago about a town that was plan
ning a spring drive to make
yards, houses, churches and 01-
fice building more beautiful.
The old court house was to be
painted by a group of volunteer
painters. New planting was to
done around the post oflice
and public library. The house
wives were to spruce-up their
yards.
There is something very Am
erican about this combined effort
of a whole town. It might be well I
for your town to adopt such a j
self-improvement plan. Thar
town, like the home, could stand
beautification .each spring!

Automation
Not New to
Penn Farmer
Automation isn’t a coming
thing, it’s here according to Prof
J. K. Pasto in his article, “Robots
on Your Farm?” in the current
issue of “Science for the Farm
er”, the quarterly publication of
the College of Agriculture at the
Pennsylvania State University.
Me writes that automation has
been with mankind “ever since
the prehistoric man picked up a
club to fight off a reptile ” This,
Pasto contends, used the principle
of the lever, basis of many ma
chines and that evei since, man
has been increasing his own pow
er through machines
“On the farm the really heavy
jobs like seedbed fitting, harvest
ing and hauling have been lifted
from the farmer’s back,” he
states in the article. Many other
repetitive jobs, though not muscle
busters, still remain Much re
mains to be done m these “over
and-over-again” jobs such as
animal feeding and watering,
barn and chicken house cleaning,
and the handling of milk and
eggs For these repetitive jobs
automation is just the ticket, he
contends.
The article states, “Automated j
machines on the farm can relieve
the drudgery of jobs that can be,
reduced to a pre-set, repetitive
system This includes many of the
time-consuming, rather unin
teresting jobs disdainfully called
‘chores’. Thus relieved from tire
some routine the farmer can de
vote more time to creative
thought the one important
f *>"■>" that pv«>n the most complex
machines cannot do.”
