CARE OF Tools AND IMPLEMENTS
of the heaviest taxes to which farmers are
subjected is the purchase and repairing Of
agricultural implements, and in many in
stances this tax is undoubtedly increased
from carlessness in allowing plows, har-
rows and other implements to be exposed to
the weather when not in use.
There are a few simple rules in regard to
the care of implements, which in most cas-
es can be easily observed. In the first place,
every person having many implements
should have house of sufficient size to ac-
commodate all their working tools and in
struments, and it should be q fixed require
ment that whenever tool is not in use 1T
should be placed in its appropriate position
in the tool-house, and before being put
away it should be carefully examined, to
see whether it is broken or damaged in any
manner, and, if so it should be marked for
repair the first leisure moment. No tool
should be put away in a dirty condition.. A
very few minutes will be required to clean
it, which will prevent the rusting of iron,
as we'll as damage to the woodwork. Al
the polished parts of an implement, as the
share, mold-board and coulter of the plow,
and the blades and axes, mattock, spades,
moving machines, etc., should be oiled to
prevent rusting they will then be in readl-
ness for use at any moment. Every wood
en- part of an i'm plement should be paint
ed at least once year, and even twice a
year for those that are much used in the
field. Rainy days can be appropriated for
such work good mineral paint is the best
for these purposes. Paint not only pre-
serves the wood from decay, but from crack
ing and consequent easy breakage. Econo..
my, comfort and appearance, all demand
care in the keeping of machinery of any
kind used in farming and field operations.

Something on the Road Question.-Mr.
Whiteford, one of the Hartford county School Com
missioners, had something practical to say last
to the Times on the subject of the public roads
He thinks change in the administration is need
ed, rather than change of law. As matters are
now conducted road repairs, which should be
made in spring, are put off until fall, when not
more than half the amount of earth can be moved
with the same labor and expense. Moreover the
dirt thrown in the fall does not settle and be-
come hard and firm until the next year. The
consequence is that our people travel over roads
that are bad all summer because they are not
mended, and bad all winter because they are
mended, and all at cost of nearly twice as much
as judicious repairs would cost if made at the
right time Mr.. Whiteford very truly says that
taxpayers ought not and will not complain of
taxes for public roads and public schools, when
they are expended to the best advantage.
And what is true of Hartford also fits Baltimore
county exactly. What we want here is very
much more practical skill in road mending and
fewer political considerations in the selection of
the men who have this important public work to
attend to.

A Very Remarkable Honsa

Hartford county, says the Agis, for forty two
years the residence of the late Thomas King, was
built by Joshua Husband in 177O. 1t is a fine
stone mansion, now ia years old. The Husbands,
Jays, Morgans and Jewetts lived there in success
sion, and some of them raised large families, and
yet there has never been death inside its walls.
Mr.. King died from his home, and the house still
stands with history that probably has no par
allel in the State for exemption from death.
