Things That are to be Remember

One Of the most important things in
forming is the preservation Of what has
arlcsdy been acquired, wheth OF one
character or another. For instance.
there are the machinery and implements
essential to farm work, and they must
be taken care u. French experiments
hold that the friction OF wooden surfaces
rubbing on each other amounts to from
ont. gu r er to one-halt Of the force en-
ployed. The friction Of metal on wood
is less; and that OF metal on metal Is
from one-fifth to onc-sevcnth. Lard, ap-
piled to wood surfaces. reduces the fric-
ton from ose. tenth to ..one-twenty. eighth
of the power required to move the sur
faces, and on metal surfaces the friction
was reduced one.hslf. These facts
show the importance Of lubricatin2 ma
chinery regulsrly-a fact that every farm
er knows perfectly. Yet il is often ne
glecte ], and II the losses sustained BY
ths average in ten or;twen,y years from
this neglect could be actually computed;
every one would he seto"ished ct the
large amount. II has often been obs ~
cd that the common error OF farmers IL
lubricstin2 machinery is that they put on
too much OIL Whatever excess OF oil 10
spplied Is necessarily total loss, - SUR
faces IN rubbing ean use OILY so much
oil; and though the loss 1t each sppl'c.-
tim may be very small. In the course of =
quarter Of . century 1t will amount to a
considerable sum. There, too, kO0wl-

will avoid the temptation, except to say
briefly, that the best money In my opip-

backs, should DO made Of equal value

should be an inter-conw rtible gold bonds
bearing low rate Of interest, for which,

This gives oil men 40 equal opportunity.

got the first shot and made q run Of fifteen
points. The other looked on in astonish-

was at work, and when he ceased and count
ed up, the challenger muttered an oath,
took OF his coat and went to work in ear
nest. He made FIVE points only, and the
next time the old man ran out the game.

luck; you will try anotherf" No, not by
