Looking ahead is always advisable and time 
spent now in making sure that your farm 
equipment is complete may mean much at 
harvest time. 
Oliver hillside plows are built unusually strong 
to withstand the wear of heavy, stony soil. 
The shape of the mould-board and share 
causes the plow to scour easily and turn a 
good furrow. The clevis may be shifted for 
correcting line of draft and bottoms are easily 
reversed. 
These plows are made in a number of sizes 
and in chilled and steeled for all soil conditions.

dealer address the nearest Oliver branch.

along and I think I shall get it done in 
time if we don’t have company and the 
work goes smoothly. This has been a 
very easy day, and I am duly thankful. 
It is hard to do the washing and ironing 
the first of the week for this family, even 
though we have an electric washer and 
iron. It probably is because I have no 
method, as Mrs. Myers would say. 
My one recreation is writing up this 
diary. I never attend to it until the 
family is in bed, as they all laugh at me. 
Grant thinks a busy farm wife and moth¬ 
er shouldn’t take the time to write out a 
long-drawn book every night, but I am 
bound to have the fun, no matter if I 
have to sit up all night. Some day the 
children will like to read about their 
young days, and will be glad I liked to 
tell them. When I have a real busy day 
I can’t write at such length, but today, 
as I said, has been a light one, so a real 
letter is possible. Then, too, any work 
seems easy and quickly accomplished 
when you do it for your family. 
HELEN S. K. WILLCOX. 
Great Mien in Agriculture 
I saw a notice in The R. N.-Y. saying 
that you would like to hear from readers 
in regard to the 12 most useful men in 
agricultural pursuits. I would pick Pres¬ 
ident Butterfield of the Massachusetts 
Agricultural College as one of the mosi 
useful men to agriculturists. There may 
be other men in the country who are do¬ 
ing good service for the farmers, but 
President Butterfield is a man whom I 
know of. I would pick Mr. Collingwood 
of The R. N.-Y. second, although I think 
he is a man with some ideas that are old- 
fashioned when he allows such an an¬ 
cient and shopworn looking label to dec¬ 
orate the front page of such a good paper 
as The Rural New-Yorker. Also 1 
would pick Dr. Warren of Cornell, an 
other of the big three, as of the greatest 
service to farming interests. 
Massachusetts. b. e. Thompson. 
We shall evidently have to take up this 
matter of 12 great men in agriculture so 
as to have a fuller discussion of the 
question. Our friend thinks that The 
Rural New-Yorker is very old-fash¬ 
ioned because we permit our old heading 
to remain in place. There is another 
side of that, however. We are willing to 
grant all that he says about that heading. 
There is no question about the fact that 
the beehive is too close to the Jersey bull; 
those bees would soon drive him out of 
the picture. It is quite probable that no 
one ever saw just such a mowing machine 
as is here shown and the hen and chickens 
certainly belong to some new and re¬ 
markable breed. We should not care to 
live in that house so close to the stag¬ 
nant pond, for we think that the mos¬ 
quitoes would soon drive us insane. 
Across the pond we see a farmer plow¬ 
ing with one horse. It looks as if that 
horse were trotting at a four-minute 
gait, and he is lifting his front legs like 
an imported Hackney. Then that cow at 
the front of the picture looks like one of 
the blocks taken out of Noah’s Ark to 
represent a toy cow. All these things are 
true, and we are ready to admit it. At 
the same time, we want that picture tj 
remain at the head of the page just as 
long as we have anything to do with it. 
We have at home an old-fashioned oil 
painting, representing a family group, 
painted 75 years or more ago. It is not 
what anyone would call a work of art. 
The big collars on the boys are all out of 
date, and the pantalettes on the girls are 
anything but appropriate in these days 
of short skirts, but we never will turn 
that picture to the wall, no matter how 
amusing it may be to the younger genera¬ 
tion. It represents a solid, serious and 
sound group of people who did their duty 
and performed their work humanly and 
for the good of the country. We feel in 
much the same way about that old head¬ 
ing. It may not be up-to-date, and it 
may not be suited to the times, but that 
was the way the old paper started. It ’s 
a worthy part.of the paper as we see it, 
and though it might be possible for The 
R. N.-Y. to dress up, put on a standing 
collar and white tie and all the other re¬ 
galia of modern society, this old heading 
seems to us to carry much of the char¬ 
acter and the simplicity which made the 
old paper a power among its readers. 
Therefore, we stand for it and keep it like 
“a flag at the head of the mast.”
