FOR THE FARMER.
A Few Suggestions to the Tillers or
the Soil.

PROTECTING FARM IMPLEMENTS.
Most western farmers have come to
the conclusion that there is economy in
keeping all kinds of stock in buildings
during the winter. They find that ami
mails protected from winds and storms
consume less food, gain faster in flesh,
and are much less liable to disease than
those that remain out of doors during
all the season of cold weather. Many
have also found that it pays to erect
buildings to protect hay and other
kinds of fodder. They are still neg
lectful as ever about housing the ma
chimes and tools that are used in the
fields. Many of them remain all win
ter in the places where they were last
used. The iron rusts, the paint is re-
moved, and the wood decays. A hay
rake that is worth as much as COW is
left in the field all winter, while the
cow is provided with dry quarters. The
like is true of a mower that costs as
much as a good horse. Humanity and
economy are displayed in keeping the
animals under cover. There is as much
economy in protecting the machines
and implements as the animals.
They cannot be kept in a good condi-
ton for even a year if they are not pro-
tected from the influences of the wealth
er. Their period of usefulness is gen.
orally shortened one half by the way
they are left exposed. 1t may not be
advisable or economical to turn animals
out of building in order to put farm
ing machines into it, but it is certain
that provision should be made in some
way to protect the latter. If there is
no building for the storage of tools
they should be placed in buildings de-
signed for other purposes. Small tools
can be placed in the chamber of house
and larger ones in the loft of barn.
If they are too large and heavy to raise
they can be taken apart. If there is
no space in buildings that can be
spared, the machines can be placed
on supports and covered with straw.

According to the Pioneer Press Dakota
is in danger Of losing large part of her
population in consequence of not having
judges enough. The lawyers are prepar-
ing to leave certain towns because for
months past they have had no term Of
court, and for months to come there is no
prospect Of trial of their causes Four
judges are expected to try the litigation
100000 people scattered over 100000
square miles. The task is simpiy hercu-
lean, and already Judge Hudson, of the
Fargo district, is broken down, and gone
home to Wisconsin to recover his health.
A new country has litigous class of peo-
pie that breed lawsuits wonderfully.

1t is quite safe to say that the president
will veto the Fitz John Porter bill. In
formation of this character comes from
sources which are considered authentic
The reason for this is said to be that the
executive pardon restoring Porter to citi-

conferred upon him.

A postal telegraph bill, prepared by
the senate committee, was introduced last
Friday. The schedule Of rates, which is
probably fixed without regard to cost Of
plant operation, is certainly within every
body's economy. Sending twenty words
1000 miles for forty cents by day and fif-
teen cents by night is certainly cheap
enough. The bill proposes to invite bids
from existing telegraph companies to do
this service. That is different thing by
far. But if the lines can be found willing
to do it, all we'll and good for the people.
