It is impossible to say how many thousand dollars’ worth of time of men and horses is wasted every year by the present plan of having each in- dividual farmer go to town with a few vegetables, chickens, eggs, or a pound or so of butter. How much better is the plan adopted some time ago by | one neighborhood to which we have called attention: One man was em- ployed to act as market agent for the entire group, going to the market town, say on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sat- urdays, and selling for a commission of 15 per cent. Three collecting sta- tions were named (at farmers’ ho.ues), one say three miles, one six miles, and one nine miles from the market town. To these collecting stations the neigh- bors sent on Monday, Wednesday and Ftiday evenings whatever stuff they wished their market-man to sell for them, Thus one man did the work of many ; a regular line of customers was { built up; the market man knew what prices were right and got them, and there are other obvious advantages,.— | The Progressive Farmer. | HAY STACK ROOF IS MOVABLE | Covering Arranged in Such Manner That It Can Be Raised or Low- ered as Desired.

Of course, there is no use raised up high enough to work under while putting in the hay. When rais- | ing or lowering, iron pins are pl in the holes to hold the roof.

The disk harrow is more properly a cultivator than a harrow, It does not give the combing effect of either the spring tooth or the peg. Its ac- tion is better described as a cutting up of the soll as one would do it with knives, But by throwing the disk bars Disk Harrow. at an angle to the draft so as to make the disks cut anglewise, a sort of light plowing or turning of the soil is effected, which’ is very advantageous for harrowing in grain which has been sown broadeast by hand. Nowadays, however, hand broadcast- ing of grain is not common enough to lend value to this use of the disk. The disk does good work in rough land, and in this connection meets a demand which neither the peg nor the spring | can as fully satisfy. The disk harrow has no rival in cutting up a plowed sod without lifting it, and as it can be set to do practically everything any other harrow can do, is a splendid all- around cultivating tool.
