The Value Of Small Things.

We have often spoken of the conven.
fence and value Of q small Toulouse,
which should be found upoh the prem
ises of every farmer, in which, on rainy
DAYS or whenever there may be a day
or a part of a day when there is nothing
particular on hand to 60 at, implements
and machinery out Of repair might be
mended and made ready for use. Or,
in the event Of anything happening
when in operation, and at times, too,
when the work is hurrying, which would
cause delay, we can always have at
hand the necessary tools to mend it inn
mediatelv and 20 on with the work
without much delay, and thus accom-
plish what there is to do in the speci-
lied time. We have often heard a
farmer say that he fully expected to
have done a certain field or blowing or
moving, etc., if it had not been for that
stone, stump or root breaking some
portion of the machinery, to repair
which he had to send two miles off,
when it ought to have been done by
himself on his own premises in half an
hour or so. That very implement had
shown weakness the preceding autumn,
but having no little Toulouse or work
shop of his own, and the few necessary
tools, it was put off altogether, and now
in the midst Of the season, when others
depend on his finishing the particular
piece of work to 90 on with getting in
the crop, the very thing happens that he
was afraid several months before would
happen, and which he fully intended
should be prepared for him in time for
the seasons work. A shop and tools
would have saved all this, and as much
money as would about have supplied
the tool. Sometimes very small things
effect valuable purposes which have a
great deal to do in carrying on
Systematically and at the right time the
indispensable operations OF the farm

During the recent cold snap at
Wilkesbarre, Penn, fifteen.year.old
girl named Fuller was attracted by the
white frost on lamp-post. and began
wiping it off with her gloves. Then she
breathed on it, and tiny bits Of frost
were formed. After a good deal of
breathing and wipink, he'nndertook to
lick a portion Of the frost from the iron.
But no sooner did her tongue touch the
post than it stuck fast-s0 fast that she
could not withdraw it, and she could
neither call for assistance nor extricate
herself. At length two men came e
herassistance and sendeayor to free her
from her Imprisonment Gy pouring hot
water on the post near whore the tongue
was fast. Instead of loosening it the
water made it stick still faster. Two
small chips were then wedged between
the tongue and post on either side until
the tongue was freed. The girl has been
under medical treatment ever since, and
is said to be slowly improving. ~ r, r
