"No, Raymond, life may seem me
stagnant ars the bottom of a well and
as untouched with romance as a mud
bank, and there's always a light

his best that touches with divinity

The Low -Down Wagon.
There are many advantages in us-
ing the low-down wagon on the farm
—so many, in fact, that it is a won-
der that its use is not universal.
Many have a prejudice against the
tdue of this type of wagon because
of the opinion that it has a heavier
drat 1.
There are so many uses to which
the low -drown wide -tire wagon may
be put, that every farmer should have
one. As a labor -saver there is no-
thing to compare with it; 'tis abso-
lute economy to possess one. In the
loading and hauling of fruits, vege-
tables, hay, heavy farm machinery,
stock in fact, anything portable you
may wish to haul the low -wheeled
wagon saves you much of that ener-
gy :it Is so necessary to conserve nn
these days of scarcity -of labor. Lift-
ing things to a level with your body
is not what overtaxes you; it 3s,
raising them above that—the last
two or three inches of the lift—that
taxes the strength, The low -wheeled
wagon eliminates this. And the wide
tires make easier passage over soft
fields, and de not rut up meadows
badly.
In the loading of hay, corn fodder,
grain, etc„ one scarcely roalizes, who
has not used a low-down wagon, how
many and important are Its ad-
vantages. The wagon we loave seems
to run with no heavier draft than the
high -wheeled wagons drawn at the
side of it with the same kind of load.
Neighbors have commented 011 this,
and often remark: "Your wagon rune
easy, doesn't it?" --J, A. R.
