THE NEW REGIME ON THE FARM
During the years from 1920 to
1925, the number of horses in the
United States decreased about 25
per cent.- At-- the same time, the
number of tractors in use increased
almost 100 per. cent. The new re
gime on the farm had begun' in ear
nest. ,
The obviouB duties of the tractor,
road building, plowing and like hard
work were quickly appreciated. Its
variety of new uses seem endless. It
has become an integral part of log
ging camps, its carries supplies across
difficult country, it digs irrigation
ditches, and moves houses. The back
breaking task of transplanting celery
has been made easy; and recently it
all work of peace. Our great mechan
ical age could be proud had it pro
duced only the tractor.

Coldest Year
in History
f
o
Known World
In 1816 There Was Snow and Frosts
All Over the United States
and Europe.
With the splendid weather that
has marked the present winter sea
son the residents of this locality will
be interested in reading of what the
dwellers in the United States and
Europe had to put up with tin the
way of weather. An account of this
yrars of cold and snow was bmofht
to the Journal by C. A. Harvey i ... -'
is re-printed for the benefit of those
who feel that there is too much col '.
weather this year.
KO SUMMER
There Was a Ten-'Incli Snow and
Plenty of Ice in This July.
From the New York Sun.
The year 1S16 was known through
out the United States and Europe as
the ocoldest ever experienced by any
person then living. There are per-, land stated that 1816 would be re
sons in Northern New York who membered by the existing generation
have been in the habit of keeping as the year in which there was no
diaries for years, and it is from the summer. Very little corn ripened in
pages of an old diary, begun in 1S10 jNew England. There was great pri
and kept unbroken until 1S40. that vation, and thousands of persons
the following information regarding
this year without a summer has been
taken:
January was so mild that most per
rons allowed their fires to go out and
did not burn wood exiept for cook
ing. There were a few cold days, but
they were very few. Most of the
time the air was warm and spring
like. February was not cold. Some
days were colder than in January,
but the weather was about the same.
March, from the 1st to the 0th. was
inclined to be windy. It came in like
a small lion, and went out like a
very innocent sheep.
Turned Cold in May
April came in warm, but as the
days grew longer, the air became
colder, and by May 1 there was a
temperature like that of winter,
with plenty of snow and ice. In May
the young buds were frozen dead,
ice formed half an inch thick on
ponds and livers, corn was killed,
and the corn fields were planted again
and again, until it became too late
to raise a crop. By the last of May
in this climate the trees are usually
in leaf and birds and flowers are
plentiful. "When the last of May ar
rived in IS 16 everything had been
killed by the cold.
June was the coldest month of
oses ever experienced in this lati
tude. Frost and ice were as com
ncn as buttercups usually are. Al-nrf-t
every green thing was killed;
il f'uit was destroyed. Snow fell
ten inches deep in Vermont. There
was a seven inch snowrfall in Maine.
i three-inch fall in the interior of
New York State and the same in
Massachusetts. There were only a
few moderately warm days. Every
body looked, longed and waited for
weather, but warm weather did not
come. It was also dry; very little
rain fell. All summer long the wind
blew steadily from the north in
blasts laden with snow and ice.
Mothers knit socks of double thick
ness for their childen, and made
thick mittens. On June 17 there was
a heavy fall of snow. A Vermont
ture on June 1G. The morning of
the 17th dawned with the ther
mometer below the freezing point.
At about 9 o'clock in the morning
the owner of the sheep started to
look up his flock. Before leaving
home he turned to his wife and said,
Jokingly:
Better start the neighbors soon;
it's the -middle of June, and I may
get lost in the snow."
Searching Party Starts
An hour after he left home a ter
rible snowstorm came up. The snow
fell thick and fast, and, as there was
so much wind, the fleecy mass piled"
in great drifts along the windward
side of the fences and outbuildings.
Night came and the farmer had not
OF
j been heard of. His wife became
! frightened and alarmed the neigh
bors. All the neighbors joined the
searching party. On the third day
they found him. He was lying in a
hollow on a side hill, with both feet
f
frozen; he was half covered with
now. but alive. Most of the sheep
were lost.
I A farmer near Tewksbury, Vt.,
owned a large field of corn. He built
fires around the field to keep off the
froft. Nearly every night he and
his men took turns in keeping up
the fires and watching that the corn
did not freeze. The farmer was re
