Care Of Faras Implements.

We have repeatedly called attcn-
ton TO the necessity OF properly
caring for farm machinery, and yet
in passing through the country we
notice that not more than one in five
are i'm the habit OF doing so, and why
such is the case is very strange. We
frequently see a reaper, perhaps
after one seasons use. left standing
in the field, or perhaps still worse
drawn mp under tree for the pOul-
try to roOst on, there to lie and rot
out, possibly before it is paid for,
while plow in one place, a harrow
in another and 90 on through the
whole list Of machinery, ali in the
same condition.
This we claim is entirely unnec-
essary. There is no man able TO
own piece of machinery that is not
able to furnish some kind of shell
,er for it. Suppose our horses were
to stand out in all kinds of weather.
how long would they last, and yet
machinery wears ont from exposure
rs fast as the horse. II you had
horse that cost the same as a header
or seif-binder, would you allow him
10 stand tied to a tree during all
kinds of weather? We think not.
Then why allow the machine 60
stand out -one is as valuable as the
Other.
Where a good frame building
cannot be furnished, few poles put
up and covered with hay will
answer by taking out the finer parts
of the machinery such as the knives.
and after Civ ing them a coat of oil,
store them in the house loft. Plows
and all implements that require a
polish should have the polished
parts covered with coat of paint.

For Young Nea 10 Remember.

The Albany Press urges young
men TO remember the following:
That clothes don't make the man.
That their father Knows more
than they do.
That if they once get into debt
they may never get out of it.
That an employer who hears OF q
clerk living in style a good ways
above his salary is very apt TO show
him the door when he least expects
it.
That they can't reckon on their
fathers fortune alone to bring them
through life. Fortunes are slippery
things-better have something be-
sides to fall back Ell.
That the girl who decks herself
in the latest thing out, and parades
the streets while her mother docs
the family washing, isn't worth
wasting much love on.
That a fellow who deliberately
proposes matrimony to a young lady
when he cal't support himself, is
either a first-ciass fraud or a fool
unless he marries for riches and be-
comes her 'hired man.
That if they wish to fall stark mad
i'm love with a girl because she is
pretty, they ought to be sure how
much powder and paint there may
be in the question and figure upor it
accordingly.
That they will need something
more substantial than cigars, light
kids and cane to start hOusckecp-
ing.

The Poor Married Man.

The drouth that has prevailed i'm
this neighborhood, and i'm fact, all
over the country, has played havoc
wi h the crops. With the exception
of hay aud oats, none of the crops
this year come up to last year, and
some are almost total failures. The
fruit what there is of it's of an
inferior quality, being tasteless and
drv. In this condition of things,
prices, of course, have gone away
up. and the poor married man
wi have to go down into his pock-
cts deeper than ever this winter.
Fo- instance, potatoes, on which so
much depends, are retailing at 81 .25
pei bushel and may go up to $2.O0
before the winter is over. This time
las year this toothsome vegetable
could be bought for so cents.
Peaches, which were selling last
season for so cents are this year COM
manding 81 25. Apples were drug
in he market last fall at any price
under 25 cents; they are now sell
ling at so cents. Tomatoes, which
were allowed to decay on the vines
las year, are this year transformed
into luxury and command 20 cents
pei bushel. Tie breadstuffs, corn
and wheat, have not sold so high
for years. Old corn this time last
yesr was plenty at 40 cents per
but hel the same article this year is
selling at IS cents. Wheat is now
Sl.:O, and flour s1.75 per sack, while
las fall wheat was Sl.00 and flour
Sl.20. Oats are about ID cents high
er han they were last fall. Butter
ant eggs are both selling for double
the price they did last September.
Thls il will be seen that almost
every country product will cost
from fifty to a hundred per cent.
more than it did last year. This
looks rather discouraging, especially
to the poor with large families to
fees. But while making compar-
isons it should be borne i'm mind that
the crops last year were unusually
abundant, and prices correspond

kke Eaii EsiHi Once.

In one OF the justices courts the
other day farmer was defendant in
case Of assault AID battery. The
plaintiff had no Witnesses, while the
defendant had his wife, and the
plaintiffs lawyer made up his mind
that it was a gone case. He was
bracing up, however, to do his best,
when the charge was read to the
defendant. The wife was deeply
interested in every phrase, and her
face changed from sober TO serious,
and from serious to horror as the
reading went on:

ious aforethought beat, wound,

went on:

Half an hour later, after her hus-
band had paid $l2 fine and costs,
she was heard 10 sigh:

try demands thst no impedimeuts

the official bureaus has been too long
neglected. The certainty whichi at

order everyw here prevails. Nor is
it any reproach to those in charge OF
public affairs that such conditions
exist. No one could foresee how the

terminate. Should il result fatally,
as it has, the probabilities pointing

radical change in executive policy

through which that policy should be
made effective. So public business
was PERMITTED to drift into varying
and unsettleing currents, until they
had merged into formidable diff
culties that have become menacing.
To right things that have gone
wrong, and give new impulse to
public business will be the first duty
of the new president. In this he
should have the public confidence
and trust. For time at least po-
litical agitations would be out of

Getting aud Keeping MOcey.

The way to keep money is to earn
it honestly and fairly. Money so
obtained is pretty certain to abide
with its pOssessor. But money that
is Inherited, or that in any way
comes without n fair and just equiv
alent, is almost certain to 90 as it
came. The young man who begins
by saving n few dollars a month and
thriftily to add to his store-every
coin being representative of good,
solid work, honestly and manfully
done, stands a better chance to spend
the last half of his life i'm afllnence
and comfort than he who, in his
haste to become rich, obtains money
by dashing specuIations. or the de-
viOus meahs which abound in the
foggy region between fair dealing
and actual fraud. Among the wisest
and most thrifty men OF wealth, the
current proverb is-"MOney goes as
money comes" Let the young
make a note of this, aud see that
their money comes fairly, that il
may long abide with them.

that an accident occurred to his lit

While watering his stock, one of his
oxen became cntauglcd in the well
rope and started to run, when to his
horror he observed that his little
boy about two years OF age had
wound the rope around his neck
aud was being dragged by the OK.
Charley Immediately rushed 10 the
rescue of his son, caught the rope,
and by using his utmost exertiOn he
succeeded in breaking it and saving
the life Of his child. The boy was

A practical stock grower advises
his brother farmers not to be in a
hurry to destroy any animal that
may break leg, for by means OF
plaster of Paris (not land plaster)
and some bagging strips, the limb
may be set and supported until the
fractured bone unites again. His
plan has been, both with calves and
sheep, 10 wind the strips of bagging
about the broken limb, plaster over
with calcined plaster mixed to a
thin paste, wind another over that
and apply more plaster, the leg be-

OF our fathers, foreseeing even the
most dire possibilities, made sure

periled because of the uncertainty
OF human life. Men may die but
the fabric of our free institutions

the strength and permanency of

that though the man chosen of the
people be struck down, his con-
stitu:ional successor is peacefully
installed without a shock or strain,
except sorrow which mourns the
bereavement. All noble aspirations
of my lamented predecessor which
found expression in his life, meas

In considering this question as to whether the
principles Of taxation in this Act to promote drain
age are just not. have thus far shown the rea-
ton Of the General Government to the works neces-
sary the measur Of responsibility Of the State and
that OF the miners. Right here comes in another
principle and one which the Drainage Act recognizes
as the principle of district community of interest
in district drained by one natural system Of drain
age. This principle was recommended by the State
Engineer in his report last year. (See report Of
State Engineer to Drainage Commissioners, District
No. l, in May last, PIP. IL and 13)
In providing for the formation Of such districts
the Leg stature has recognized the principle which
governs in the outlining Of sewerage districts in
large cities, namely: that there is community OF
interest, an nterdependence between the land sur
faces from which drainage waters shed and those
over or through which they may run.
"When it was first proposed that lot. holders at
the extreme head OF a valley, where drain or sewer
was hardly necessary at all, and at most very
small pipe would suffice, should pay an ad valorem
tax on their lots toward the construction Of the
large sewers at the lower end of the district in the
city, the idea, doubtless did not meet with favor
