FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
Look to the Implements.

IT is lamentable fact that large ma
want of proper care of tools as from the
actual wear and tear of them. Repeated
wetting and drying spOils, sooner or later,
any kind OF woodwork the moisture get
ting into the cracks soon increases them.
This may be prevented by timely and
occasional application of some cheap paint.
Much has been said and written upon the
value of tool houses, and it is hardly neces-
sary for us to add our mite to the general
collection; but providing the Toulouse is
not all that should be done-the shovels,
spades and forks are brought into the tool
house with the dirt sticking to them, and
in that condition they remain through the
winter, or until they are again needed.
All practical farmers know how much
better a bright pillow turns the furrow, how
much easier it is on the team and driver,
and yet they will bring their plows and
harrows i'm every spring and fall with the
dirt sticking to them, and allow them to
remain in that condition until again
wanted, much to their own loss and ex-
pcnse. There are various mixtures which
might be applied to the iron to prevent
rusting, the cheapes; of which is common
(unsalted) grease. A better article may
be formed by melting together six pounds
of fresh mot salted) lard and two of resin.
An old iron pot is good thing to keep
and compound the mixture in. AS soon
as tool is done being used for the season,
clean it off and give it a coat of this mix
ture, and even if it remains undisturbed
for years, it will come out as bright as
when put Germantown Telegraph.
