Putting Away Tools.

The wearing out of farm implements

use, If tools can be well taken care of
it will pay to buy those made of the

ner but in common hands, and with
common care, such are of little advan-
tage. Iron and steel parts should be
cleaned with dry sand and a cob, or
scraped with piece Of soft iron, wash
ed and oiled if necessary, and in a
day or two cleaned off with the corn
cob and dry sand. Finally paint the
iron part with rosin and beeswax, in
the proportion of 4 of rosin to l of
wax, melted together and applied hot.
This is good for the iron or steel parts
of every sort of tool. Wood work
should be painted with good, boiled lin
seed oil, white lead and turpentine, col.
ored of any desired tint; red is proba-
bly, the best color. Keep the cattle
way until the paint is dry and hard, OF
they will lick, with death as the result.
If it is not desired to use paint on hand
tools, the boiled oil with turpentine and
"liquid drier," does just as well. Many
prefer to saturate the wood work o.
farm implements with crude petrole
um. This can not be used with color
but is applied by itself, as long as any
is absorbed by the pores of the wood

Farming.

Farming in the past was treated with
contempt and ignominy because the
tillers of the soil were superstitious, ig-
norant and unambitious. They stood
aloof from the society of the feudal
grandees, and were degraded in their
eyes by the necessity of labor. There
was little hope for their elevation un-
der the iron heel of feudal despotism,
and old mother earth, more benevolent
and kind than bigoted kings and lords,
in sympathy, provided a refuge and
materially nourished the more simple
and unambitious of her children in the
independence of solitude and seclusion.
For their lack of fame she compensated
them with a love of freedom, stalwart
frames, and broad, capable, though
uncultivated, minds. They were her
materials laid up in store for future
generations and powers. Sometimes
they broke loose from despotism, and
like a mighty pent-up stream over
whelmed their enemies with irresistible
power. Such was the torrent with
which Oliver Cromwell, one of the
grandest characters in history, swept
the corrupt aristocracy from the shores
of England and put despotic world
on notice that forbearance could cease
to be virtue; that the quiet people
were but sleeping lion that tyranny
and oppression might at any moment
call into terrible, irreversible action.
1t was not the sons of kings, lords and
mobiles, nor yet the shining, obsequiou:
satellites of thrones and ducal palaces
who discovered new continents, cleared
away the forests, subdued tribes Of
savages, laid the foundations of new
empires, spread wide the gates Of com
merce and filled to overhowing the
common storehouse of the world. L
was the hardy sons of toll. They have
triumphed at last. The "bottom rail-
has arrived at the top. 'Tis the full
ness of time, and the now emancipatet
farmer, the enlightened tiller of tht
soil, the scientific agriculturist is NJ
longer excluded from the front; no lon
ger avoids the brilliant courts of thu
proud, nor shuns the broad highway t.

dictate to kings and establish the ordel

Only One Life.

Too many farmers appear to be only
skirmishing around during the present
life without any of its real enjoyments
which this world offers to everyone
who will gather them. In the first
place, if he does not marry good wife
(and there are plenty of them run.
ming around loose) the fatal mistake is
made which can never be remedied. If
man intends to be farmer, and
through that channel of industry enjoy
all of the comforts and pleasures Of life
he should surround himself and family
with as many conveniences of life as his
means and industry can command.
He should keep in mind that on his
farm and with his family is the best
place for contentment and happiness.
And the best way to be happy is to make
his family happy and his home pleasant.
Every hour needless spent away from
the home of domestic happiness is just
so much lost in the great sum Of life's
comforts. One life-one home-one
wife-one aim-and one end to all of
lifes struggles and hopes. Without hap
piness all work is a burden, and life a
failure.-Io,Ua State Register.

Milk as a Remedy.

NonsiueraDle mas Deen lately SAID IN
medical journals concerning the value
of milk as remedial agent in certain
diseases. An interesting article on this
subject lately appeared in the London
Milk Journal, in which it is stated, on
the authority of DR.. Benjamin Clarke,
that in the East Indies warm milk is
used to a great extent as a specific for
diarrhea. A pint every four hours
will check the most violent diarrhea,
stomach-ache, incipient cholera, and
dysentery. The milk should never be
boiled, but only heated sufficiently to
be agreeably warm, not too hot to
drink. Milk which has been boiled is
unfit for use. This writer gives several
instances in arresting the disease,
among which is the following: at has
never failed in curing in six to twelve
hours, and | have tried it, l should
think, fifty times"
Il have also given it to a dying man
who had been subject to dysentery
eight months, latterly accompanied by
one continual diarrhea, and it acted
on him like a charm. In two days
his diarrhea was gone; in three weeks
he became hale, hearty man; and
now nothing that may hereafter accur
will ever shake his faith in hot milk" I"
A writer has also communicated to the
Medical Times and Gazette a state
ment of the value of milk in twenty
six cases of typhoid fever, in every one
of which its great value was apparent.
1t checks diarrhea, and nourishes and
cools the body. People suffering from
disease need food quite as much as
those in health, and much more so in
certain diseases where there is a rapid
waste of the system. Frequently all
ordinary food in certain diseases is re
jected by the stomach, and even
loathed by the patient; but nature,
ever benefcent, has furnished food that
in all diseases is benefcial-some di.
rectly curative. Such food is milk.
The writer in the Journal last quo.
ted, DIR. Alexander Yale, after giving
particular observations upon the point
above mentioned, its action in check
ing diarrhea, its nourishing properties
and its action in cooling the body,
says: eve believe that milk nOurisheE
in fever, promotes sleep, wards of
delirium, soothes the intestines, and, il
fine, is the sine qua non in typhoid fe
ver." We have lately tested the value
of milk in scarlet fever and learn tha
it is now recommended by the medica
faculty in all cases of this often very
distressing children's disease. Give al
the milk the patient will take, ever
during the period of greatest fever
1t keeps up the strength of thepatient

every way blessed thing in this sick

A Texas Wife.

The best-natured woman the United
State lives in Austin. She has been
married number of years to a man
named Ferguson, but she and her hus-
band have never had quarrel yet, and
he has frequently boasted that it is ut
terly impossible to make her angry.
Ferguson made several desperate at
tempts to see if he could not exasperate
her to look cross or scowl at him, mer-
ly to crafty his curiosity, but the more
outrageous he acted the more affable
and loving she behaved. Last week
he was talking to friend about what
hard time he had trying to find out
if his wife had temper. The friend
offered to bet $50, that if Ferguson
were to 60 home drunk, raise row,
and pull the table-cloth full of dishes
off the table, she would show some signs
Of annoyance. Ferguson came home
late, and apparently fighting drunk.
She met him at the gate, kissed him,
and assisted his tottering steps to the
house. He sat down hard in the middle
of the floor. and howled out:
Confound your ugly picture, what
did you mean by pulling that chair
from under me?"
30 hope you didn't hurt yourself.
1t was my awkwardness, but I'll try
and not do it again." and she helped
him to his feet, although she had moth
ing in the world to do with his falling.
He then sat down on the sofa, and
sliding off on the floor, abused her like
a pick-pocket for lifting up the other
end of the sofa, all of which she took
good-naturedly, and finally she led him
to the supper-table. He threw plate
at her, but she did as if she had not
noticed it, and asked him if he would
take tea or coffee. Then the brute
seized the table.cloth and sat down on
the floor, pulling the dishes and every
thing else over with him in one grand
crash. What did this noble woman
do? Do you suppose she grumbled
and talked about going home to heI
ma, or that she sat down and cried like
fool, or she sulked and pouted? Not
a bit of it. With a pleasant smile,
she said:
"Why, George, that's new idea,
amt it? We have been married ten
years, and have never yet eaten oul
supper on the floor. Won't it be fun
just like those picnics we used to go to
before we got married" and then this
angelic woman deliberately sat down
on the floor long-side the wretch, ar
ranged the dishes, and fixed him up
nice supper.
This broke George all up. He
owned up that he was only fooling her,
and offered to give her the fifty dollars
to get herself new hat, but she took
the money and bought him new suit
of clothes and box sof cigars.-Teras

Our Material Interest.

we enter upon the duties which have
been assigned us with one great leading
purpose, and that is to devote a large
share of our space to the material in
terests of Tennessee. We hope to be
able to impress upon our young men
who will read, the difference between
life of idleness and life of industry,
between the intelligent application of
force in life and sluggish existence, and
whatever can be done by a newspaper
to stimulate our people to just and
full appreciation of their oppor tunities
and possibilities will be done.
We shall constantly keep before the
reading public the advantages of the
South and especially of our own Sec
tion-Tennessee and Alabama. Who.
ever deserves mention in the work of
building up and establishing home in
stitutions shall have it, and whoever
writes in reference to the great work OF
building up our section, giving facts in
reasonably clear ms nner, shall have
space in the AMERICAN.
We hope by oft-rep peated truths and
unanswerable arguments, to thoroughly
impress the reading public with our
capabilities for developing into real
home wealth and home independence,
Every intelligent man in Tennessee can
be made to understand, and ought to
be made to feel, that we are not and
must not be dependent on other people
people thousand miles away from
us-for our wooden and cotton goods,
our boots and shoes, our farming imple-
ments, our locomotives and railroad
iron, our hardware and holloware-
that to continue to buy our manufac-
tured goods abroad as certainly brings
poverty as epidemics bring death, and
that to. manufacture what we need at
home as certainly brings wealth as rains
bring tides.
We propose to examine with care
the business of manufacturing in Ten
nnessee, and Hook into and give the
facts in reference to our establishments
in operation. If our young men Of
capital cannot be walked up by giving
the facts in reference to manufacturing
cotton and iron in Tennessee, then the
sleep is worse than Rip Van Wrinkles,
for they will never wake, and Rip did,
in his old age.
We intend to keep another fact prom.
inent before our people. Whoever
goes to manufacturing among us is en-.
titled by the laws of social life, as well
as by the demands of political econo
my, to be sustained at home. Some
years ago there was an establishment
in Tennessee manufacturing cedar
buckets. Many of these buckets were
sold in Nashville, after being shipped
to enterprising business men at Cincin
natl sold by them back to our mer
chants.
Whoever makes good goods at home
is entitled to, and hasa right to expect
, that he will be sustained at home.
Every industrial enterprise built W
here Is not only a blessing to the poor
but guarantee against the demands
t of charity, and if sustained by home
people, enlarges our home circulation
: thereby adding wealth to the State
But if we buy abroad we add wealtl
to another community and not ours.
We owe it to ourselves to deal will
ourselves, for when we deal with eacl
other we are contributing to our mutu
al and common interests. American
