Saving Gasoline,
Many farmers who use a etationary
gasoline engine will find a plower
windmill a mighty economical thing,
and in calm weather there is the old
faithful engine to fall back on, A
sixteen -foot mill fn a stiff breeze
will develop about two and one-half
horse -power; and a twelve -foot mill,
one and a half. The best place to
mount a power windmill is on a
cupola of the barn, A
hollow mast, built up from ordinary
lengths of 6 x timbers, blocked six
inches apart, is run up, the base rests
on a braced triangle of wood. Then

automobile, the power if. transmitted
to a long steel shaft that runs down
the centre of the hollow mast. At
the foot another set of bevels putt
the power into a pulley -wheel; and
it's an easy miter to belt this pulley
to your line shaft. When the wind
blows, put the windmill belt on and
slip the engine belt off; reverse this,
of course, in calm weather. The
driving -pulley on most power mills, in
ordinary breezes, runs at about the
same number of revolutiona Per mi -
mite as the average gasoline engine;
but the engine htte a smaller pulley,
BO you must have different sized
wheels on the line shaft.
It is sometimes possible to change
over an old pumping windmill by
taking out all the crank mechanism,
replacing this with high-speed gears
and bevel pinions, and putting in hot- r
low wooden mast with its steel shaft;
but this depends to a large extent on

A striking feature of the British
soldiers' war songs s itheir humor.
EVen the French find it difficult to
understand how it is that the Tommy
apparently looks upon as mere comedy
what is in reality the greatest tragedy
in the history of the world, The
truth is that the British private has
discovered a new philosophy appro-
priate to modern war --he has dis-
covered that it is too serious a busi-
ness to be taken seriously. Humor
and flippancy is the only antidote to
its unutterable ghastliness.
In all the British soldiers' songs
the contrast to the songs of the Ger-
man army is most striking. Here is
one which might well be called the
British soldiers' "Hymn of Hate":
The bells of Hell go ting -a -ling -a -ling,
For you and not for me
For me the angels sing -a -ling -a -ling,
They've got the goods for me.
0 death, where is thy sting-aelin'g-a-
ling,
Where grave thy victoree?
The bells of Hell go ting -a -ling -a -ling,
For you, but not for me.
That is the nearest he has ever ap-
proached to an expression in song of
his religious faith.
Song of the British Army
There is one song in particular
which might well be called the song
of the British army, Every soldier
at the front can sing it, It is to he
heard in every trench dugout and bil-
let in France. The words do not
scan and the music cannot be com-
mended for martial grandeur or de-
licate harmonies, but it is Tommy At-
kins's masterpiece, It is almost a
dirge or lament, colored with just that
touch of elusive cockney humor which
shows that it is not to be taken seri-
ously. These are the words:
;
.f want to go 'orae,
I want to go 'erne,
I The shells and the whizzbangs they
rush and they roar,
I don't want to go to the trenches no
more.
T wont to go over the sea
Where the Allonyms cannot ch me;
Oh, my,
I want tb go 'ome.
He has a greet weakness of senti-
mental love songs, which remind him
of home and of atstielations that lift
him out of the Amelia surroundings of
his camp or billet,
Tommy Atkin', has all the intense
•reserve of the Briton. To sing about .

mies of right, -for the sake of the
flag, and all the rest of it, strikes him'
