A Very Old Stove With a History.-A
correspondent Of the Baltimore San has in his
possession a stove which bears the imprint of the
sPotomack Furnace" "This stove,' he says,
"was removed from the parsonage Of Garrison
Forest church, Owings's Mills, Baltimore
county, and is said to be more than one hundred
years old, and among the first that were made
from designs by Benjamin Franklin. | should
like to ascertain if possible just where the Poto-
mack Furnace was located whether it was one of
the many furnaces of the Principle Company
The fact that the plates of this stove were cast
without any flask adds to its interest, the pattern
having been pressed into the sand and the metal
poured in until it came to level"
The Franklin stove referred to by the cores
pondent says the Sun, was invented in 1916, and
was a great step in advance of previous designs.
1t was rectangular box of cast-iron plates, open
at the front, except near the top, with sliding
shutter b. which the whole might be closed en-
tircly or in part. The hearth projected in front
and was cast with double lodges to receive the
edges of the upright plates, and also with number
of holes for receiving and discharging air and
emitting smoke. The stoves embodied the prin
ciples of the modern air-tight stoves. Potomack
Furnace is not included in the list Of the Principle
Companys furnaces as published in Schari's His
tory of Baltimore city and county, and was most
probably located on or near the upper Potomac
IL
Der of iron furnaces were in operation before the
revolution. About IVA James Johnson, of Fred
erick county, Md in partnership with his brothers
Thomas, Baker, grandfather of Gen. Bradley I.
Johnson,) and Roger, built number of furnaces,
among them being one located in Loudoun county,
Va opposite to Point of Rocks, Nd, and known
as Potomac Furnace. 1t is quite possible that
this was the "Potomack Furnace" at which the
Garrison Forest stove was cast.
Take Care of Farm Implements.-The
following from the Scientific american should be
read and carefully considered by every farmer:
"Some one once drew graphic pen picture of a
mortal foe of the farmer-one who labored for his
destruction by night as well as by day, on Sun
days. holidays and work days alike. 1t was a
mortgage" that the writer of the sketch wisely
regarded as one of the most active enemies to the
farmers purse and peace of mind.
"There is, however, another agent for evil quite
as active, to be found on every farm. 1t is known
as rust And although it annually destroys in
the aggregate vast amount of property, farmers
too frequently neglect to take the measures ne
cessary for protection from the ravages of this in
sidious foe. Hundreds of agricuturists are buy
ing farm machinery, which, if properly cared for,
ought to last at least ten years. Most of it will
be worthless in one-fth Of that time for lack Of
little CARE
"a machinetbatis taken apart and properly
cared for when not in use viii do good work years
and years after its counterpart has been thrown
away by the man who has the habit of leaving it
unprotected Then the delays caused by broken
machinery, loose bolts, and rotten or twisted
frames, discovered just at the time when the loss
of time means danger to the crop. more than coun-
ter balance any time, trouble, or expense incurred
in properly putting away the machine. The prov
ident farmer will always clean and house his i'm
plements as soon as the harvest is ended. When
ever the paint on an implement shows signs of
wearing off, it ought to be renewed. And when
tools and implements are housed they should be
placed just where they can readily be found when
again sought for"

the news from this place for 1884, would say
that one of the topics is hard times plenty to buy
but nothing to buy with. At present it is very
good sleighing, the snow having fallen Thursday
and Sunday inclusive to the depth of several
inches, the thermometer having fallen during that
time as low as FIVE degrees below zero.
James Deets, much respected young man of
these parts, died at the residence of his father at
Jarrettsvile, aged 90 years, of typhoid fever, ON

were conducted by Rev. Thomas Briley, pastor of
that church, of which the deceased was member.
The pail bearers were j. II. Jarrett, j. B. Ward,
VIM. Ward, T. E. Cathcart, Edward Street, and

NoMore Tobacco in School.-An exchange
tells US that the School Commissioners of Prince
Georges county have forbidden the use of tobacco
by the pupils upon school premises. IT'S thus

bind the now and the then ruthessly broken

for this innovation, but its effects upon education
