Care Of Farming Machinery.

When it comes to the actual work of the
farm, the workman prefers bright and
sharp-tools. But he does not manage al
WAYS to have them. He neglects propt
preparation, and the result is that when the
winters work is upon him the plows are
weather. beaten and dull, the harrow teeth
are rusty and clogged with masses Of weeds
and hardened soil, the seed drills chisel-
cultivators and other implements soon to be
needed are in bad condition. Every one
knows this. but every one does not heed il
in time. The building of a cheap shed last
spring to shelter these tools would have
made matters much more agreeable to the
rancher.
As far as the iron work Of the tools is
concerned, the application Of mixture to
prevent rusting is advisable, and it should
be done before the winter work begins.
The cheapest substance to use is un-
salted grease. A better article, however, IS
prepared by melting lard and common rosin,
stirring the mixture as it co0ls. The pro-
portion should be three pounds Of lard to
one Of rosin. Apply with cloth to iron or
steel surface. Dust and wipe the machine
before applying this or any other mixture.
Woodwork is prevented from cracking and
decaying by the occasional application Of
paint. Prepared paints are 30 easily and
cheaply procured now that there Is no ex-
cuse for letting the neck.yokes, double-
trees, axles and other pieces Of wood work
90 neglected, and weaken so as to become
dangerous to safety. Some persons apply
. crude petroleum to the woodwork letting
it soak in before the paint is used.

Her Ear in Her Pocket,

THE SINGULAR ACCIDENT OF \ PLCCKY
CLEVELAND LADY.
From the Akron Beacon
One of the most curious cases of
a serious injury without any part
ocular attention being paid to it
took place yesterday morning at
the Valley Railway depot IN Cleve-
land. Mrs. Emma Worth, mother
of Mrs Louis X. Stone, of this city,
fell down flight of stairs in some
unaccountable manner; the great
portion Of her right ear was cut off,
in such shape that when she re-
covered herself the ear lay on the
floor. Parties present urged her
to allow them to call physician,
but she grittily refused. To the
establishment of all, the plucky
lady picked the ear up and put it
in her pocket, and covered up the
wound by placing her handkerchief
over the remaining part of the
member, holding the handkerchief
in place With her bonnet string.
a. very strange feature OF the
affair is that while her ear was cut
off as by knife, no other injury
was sustained, not even so much
as bruise to the bonnet being dis
cernible. The unconcerned woman
took her seat in the cars and arriv-
ed all right in this city, the hand
kerchief having become pretty
thoroughly soaked with blood. Upon
her arrival here. Mr.. Stone at once
called surgeon and had the wound
promptly attended to, but the ear,
which Mrs. w. had brought with
| her in her pocket from Cleveland,
could not be replaced. She how
ever. refused to remain indoors
Yesterday, but was on the streets,
and last evening attended the grand
reception at Saeenger Hall. Her
friends earnestly hope that she may
suffer no Inconvenience from the
injury.

Opinions OF Senator Sa wyeE
THE PEOPLE OE WISCONSIN IN FAVOR
OF THE ADMINISTRATIONS.

OF THE ADMINISTRATION.
The New York Tribune, q May
Senator Sawyer, of Wisconsin, when
asked by . Tribune reporter for bis
opinion upon the designations and
present situation, was reluctant to
say anything for publication, stating
that his views On the subject we're
we'll known in the Senate, and he
thought that was sufficient. 10 the
part Of the conversation which he
was willing to have published he
said
"The people Of my state, at least
nine-tenths Of them, are strongly in
favor Of the administration. They
believe and | believe that President
Garfield assumed the responsibilities
Of the Presidential chair with the de.
termination to unite the different
factions Of the party and make it
stronger. That he and the party in
Washington have done the best
thing that was possible under the
circumstances is my conviction. The
present situation is to De regretted.
| think sober-minded people must,
on mature reflection, support Presi-
dent Garfield in the position be has
taken, more especially as Mr.. Conk-
ling and Mr.. Plat have both acted
like boys. There was time early
in the contest men | think that
ether the President or Senator
Conkling could have retired with
honors, but in the latter part Of it,
When Mr.. Conkling assumed the role
Of dictator, the President would
certainly not have been justified in
Withdrawing Judge Robertson's
name. AS to the controversy having
an outside effect | do not think it
is probable. because the western peo-
pie look upon it as merely local af-
fair. There is, however, another rea-
son. That is, the people are getting
tired of always hearing the same
old story that unless New York state
is carried the cause will be lost.
They do not want the state to affect
their politics, and that, l think, is
one reason why they speak of it as
having only local effect.

Fatal Accident at Butte.

BUTTE, July s.-This morning, about
o'clock, Z. B. Keane, miner working for the
Moulton Company, was the victim of an ac-
cident which will probably terminate fatally
within a few hours. He was employed in
the face of the 400-foot south cross-cut, and,
from some cause not stated a mass of gran
lite weighing not less than ton fell from the
roof, striking him on the hip and back. The
unfortunate man was extricated as soon as
possible, and apparently in dying condition
conveyed to the hospital. The ilium and
pelvic bones were found to be broken. The
ilae vein being ruptured, he is now bleeding
and there is believed to be scarcely
a possibility of recovery. E. B. Keane came
to Butte from the Black Hills about two
weeks ago. He is about forty-fve years OF
age. Nothing is known as to his relations
or friends
