Show YORK OF SCIENTIST scientists NEW inventions OF worn WORTH PLACED ON THE MARKET device that will rid cattle of flies that torture them while in th the stable Stab leHome bornt exercising machine a novelty home exercising machine A competent authority on tho the sub eject would probably admit that a large proportion ot of the ailments i lin artlY attributed to the stomach have theli their origin in a weakness ea knoss of the muscles surrounding rounding Bur the abdominal cai cavity ity with ith attendant flabbiness flabbi u news and inability of at the digestive organs to perform their natural function functions adolph de clairmont of topeka kana kans has recently designed a simple form of e ex excising apparatus anich he claims 11 will tend to strengthen the muscles above referred to assisting them thern materially in the performance ol 01 their work tho the device needs little explanation owing to its simplicity there la is a hinged board with pup porta ports to raise it from the floor and a latch to maintain the sections rigid while in use A cushion Is also provided for the head and there are bracks secured to the footboard to enable the person to rise to a sitting posture by a sheer pull with the feet to uso use this exerciser the patient takes the position shown with his feet in seated in the braces when by rals rats ing and lowering the upper part of the body slowly the muscles are exer LI ci I 1 throughout the entire length at 0 the trunk care must be taken not to indulge too freely in the exertion at the beginning as overstraining tho the strengthen strengthens muscles of abdomen muscles would cause injurious effect instead of benefit the special ten dency of this form of exercise would be to dissipate the surplus flesh of the abdomen as well as increasing the muscular power thus lightening the load to be carried also now an automobile sled an alito automobile mobile sled says electric ity Is the latest invention of tha N gen fabrick union it Is to be driven by a ben line zine motor water ater cooled and equipped with electromagnetic electro magnetic spark ing devices the cooling water cir in the body of the sled through pipes which are so disposed as to constitute a foot warmer the steering gear includes a tiller which Is connected with the front runners A single lever controls the direction of the shafts revolution the sled Is driven by a spiked wheel which bites the ground and Is geared up to the motor shaft boon to tortured cattle when cattle are run running nini at largo large in tho the field there Is an opportunity tor for them to rid themselves ot at the insect ports which annoy them but when the animals are tied in the sta ble there Is little chance to swing the h hal had ad around to dislodge the flies files from the forward quarters and so the troublesome pests aro are free to tor ture the animals at will it Is the object of 0 13 gibson of thayer la ia in designing the strange looking shed here pictured to provide an apparatus which will enable the cattle to rid their bodies of the flies files as they enter the stable the latter place presumably being fly proof as it ought to be at any rate the shed has at its inner end a series of brushes so arranged as to leave an oblong opening much smaller than the body sn n order that the flies files may be brushed off on as the animals pass through to gala gain an entrance to the interior during the passage of the cow the only place from which light can enter the shed is through the overhead chamber to which the insects fly as they are brushed off an automatic gate in the shed opens and closes the entrance to this chamber with the passage of each animal thereby making apparatus to brush pests from cattle a trap from which the files flies cannot escape and in which they are des troyed by the tho cattle tender the it 11 slows the shed complete with a cow in the act of at entering and ad also presents a view of the inner end nd of the shed with the brushes in position tiou to do their work labor savor for farmer farmers tho the farmer of today to day must have hie his labor saying appliances bit lust us as much math as a the workingman of any other ciu claim and really there acm to be greater need ot of machinery on the he farm than in any other field geld aa as the manual labor performed ler formed by the banners far ex beds in amount that of most indus tiles the cultivator has been aa an indispensable farm implement tor for year years and in ta a of loosening the dirt bett on the rowa rows 0 ct plants greatly ta fa cUlt cilli atea tateo the hill hilling ing up of corn pota toes etc and the cutting out of the weeds eeds with a hoa on the machine shown in the illustration will be sen a new attach attachment mert for gathering up the weeds from between the row rows of plants after the cultivator haa has loos ened them from the soil in the caw case of needs which are about to go t to seed and would it left on the ground start a new crop tor for the farmer to fight later on this device will ill be especially useful aa as it enables the th farmer to gather up the weeds and burn them before the seed Is deposit oil 1 I As A will be seen le gatherine gather lne tul rake if is designed to tra travel ea in the row just ut cultivated and in order that it EA weeder attachment for cultivators may work equally well when the cultivator Is moving in either direction it la Is I 1 on a swinging arm controlled by a crank within rasy easy reach of the driver by giving the crank a half turn in either direction the rako rake la is lifted from one side of tae the cultivator to the other or can bo be elevated to drop a load of at weeds at any nay desired point in the field edwin P clapp of north rush pa la Is the inventor the latest washing machine there are two tuo very good reason reasons why many housewives continue to do their washing over the old fashioned tub and scrub the clothes on the washboard every monday instead of making use of the modern washing machine one Is the cost of the machine ane the other la Is the necessity of finding room for an extra article of washday furniture which in the majority of city bouses houses Is no small item to both these reasons the washing machine invented by leonard D brooks of independence la ia give gives the very good answer that it requires only a small outlay of cash and takes up no extra space when not in use and it goes without saying that it U will do its work quite as well as the aa ma fastens on an the side of the tub dority of at machines of this kind now on the market the inventor no doubt obtained his idea from tbt old fashioned clothes which it was customary to use in connection with a small cask to hammer the dirt out of the clothes instead of rubbing them by hand the pounding bead head Is still used in the new invention ven tion but with this decided improvement pro that it has a spring to lift the head after each stroke thus eliminating fully half balf of the labor of operating the machine the washer Is clamped on one side of a common washtub and when not in use can be swung out c u ae le way thus leaving the tub open for the rinsing of garments as they are removed from the water when the washing Is finished the machine can be folded up and placed inside the tub or may be suspended from a nail in the basement or stairway |
