Care for Tools

An Illinois correspondent of the Ru-
raj New Yorker tells how he keeps his
tools clean and bright, as follows:
at is good advice to tell us to keep
the tools sharp, but we must keep
them clean as well. | am great hand
for keeping my tools bright. l hate
the sight of rust, and, as consequence
my wOrkmen say that work at my
place is very easy. | keep an iron
kettle within few feet of my tool
house, and every workman is expected
to wash his tools after using them.
They are then dipped into a box of
powdered slaked lime, and then hung
up. Large tools, like plows, are wash
ed and then have lime busted over
them. They keep bright and clean
till wanted. | have had shovel in
use since 1881. 1t is now as bright as
when it came from the maker. Farm
ers might save hundreds of dollars by
taking care of their tools properly
One spring | saw two strong men, with
pick and crOwbar, digging pillow out
of ground where it had been frozen in
during the winter. In this township
there are thousands of dollars worth
of machinery just eaten worthless by
rust. 1t all might have been saved by
proper care. There should be good
tool house on every farm"

The Fairs.

The first agricultural exhibitions OF
the season occur this week, and for
ten or twelve weeks to come they will
be holding out inducements to farmers
in every direction. No farmer is per-
haps so situated that some of the fairs
will not be within easy reach, and to IL
great many several will be accessible.
just how many can under these latter
circumstances be prOfitably attended
will depend upon the fairs themselves
and the situation of the farmer, whose
good Judgment only can decide this
point. 1t is not too much to say, how
ever, that each farmer will do we'll to
take in as least one good local fair,
and possibly more and that those
who are so situated as to be able to
attend a large district or state fair will
find the time so occupied prOfitably
spent. Much depends, however, upon
the object of such attendance. The
idea of simply obtaining recreation is
ii defensible plea, but higher object,
aud the one which furnishes Il better
warrant for setting other things aside
to attend, is the idea of learning. The
fair needs you, and you need the fair,
and both will probably be benefited
by your attendance.-[St Ockman.

The business of farming has two

the shady side, buried in gloom and

Extra Feed for Cows.

There are but few, pastures that will
carry herd of cows through the sum
mer and keep up the flow of milk with
out feeding them at the barn. There
are portions of the season i'll New En-
gland when the sun is SO hot and the
winds are so dry that a large portion
of the pastures become parched and
fail to produce sufficient young grass
to supPy the wants of as many cows
as are usually assigned to pasture
on this account, unless the farmer
makes some provision to feed his cows
at the barn night and morning, the
flow of milk will be very much reduc-
ed, and the cows will lose in flesh
thus they come to the barn in autumn
light in weight, with the flow of milk
reduced at least one third below what
it should be. To avoid this the farm
ers who are abreast of the times will
be prepared to feed their cows as soon
as the feed i'll the pastures begins to
fall off

A scheme is being promoted by some
French capitalists for the construction
of a railway through tunnel to be car
ried under the sound from Denmark to
Sweden. tits to start from the Ameger
suburb of Copenhagen to the island
Of Salthorm, distance Of about five
miles, where air shafts will be establish
ed, and thence to Limhamn in Swed-
en-, a distance of about three miles.
The depth of water in these passages
does not exceed fifty feet, so that the
tunnel would not be at any great
depth. It is expected that the works
Will be completed in less than three
years. A government guarantee OF
5 per cent. is sought on the capital to
be raised, the amount Of which is not
yet fixed and it is possible that the
whole sum may be provided by some
large houses without coming on the
market. The Swedish ports on the
sound are shallow, and difficulties oc-
cur in the shipment of goods, but as
railway communication now exists be
tween Copenhagen and the continent
of Europe, this submarine railway
would bring Sweden into direct com
munication with the continent, and
large goods traffic, as well as convey
ance of passengers, is expected.

WEARING A HAT IN ARKANsAs.-An
appeal, in rather peculiar case, has
Just gone before the supreme court OF
Arkansas. John Bogworth, of Wash
ington came to Little Rock some time
ago and entered into business. Re
Gently he went back to his native VII
lage, having replaced his SLOUGH hat
for rather high-crown derby. When
the companions of his youth saw him
wearing the hat they provided them
selves with beanshooters and began to
shoot holes through it. Finally, one
buckshot, ranging trifle too low,
plowed a furrow across the top Of
Johns head. Bogworth had the fell
low arraigned before justice of the
peace.
rs this the hat you wore?" the JUS
tice asked
yes, sir"
And the buckshot that made this
hole is the one that plowed you, eh q
/ Yes, your honor"
The justice, after a few moments
reflection, said:
1T is the opinion of this court that
the plaintiff In this case laid himself
liable, and that if he had not pulled
his hat down SO far the buckshot
would have simply gone through the
hat without hitting him"
An appeal to the circuit court re-
suited in confirmation of the deci-
sion of the court below, and then an
appeal to the supreme court was taken.
The final result is awaited with much
interest TraUeler.

A MAINE WHIRLPOOL.

The most dangerous whirlpool on
the New England coast is that near
Deer Island Point, opposite Eastport,
Passamaquoddy Bay. At times, when
the tide backs up against a strong
wind, q great roaring IS heard, the
whirlpool, fully an acre in extent,
swells up to the height of twenty feet
like a great hill of yeast, then falling
back forms a deep, black, Internal
looking bowl. The fishermen in the
neighborhood shun the whirlpool as
they would the sulphrous pit, and
some of them harbor superstitious
notions about it which add to its
terrors. "A man who doesn't know
the river thoroughly has no business to
go by it in small boat" said an old
E8stport fisherman to the writer, ''for
It is mighty treacherous, and some
times looks the shckest when it is the
most dangerous" A schooner loaded
with plaster once went down in it with
her crew, and no more was heard OF
her or the men on board.

THE MORMON LEPROSY.

The son of q polygamist told the
writer OF this, recently, that his father,
some years ago, worked the whole
summer through building a house or
harm, for which in the fall he received
S400. OF course $40 of inst went to
the tithing fund OF the rest, $3.50
went to England to bring out two sis
tiers, whom he married as soon as they
arrived here. He added: "At that
time my little brothers and sisters and
myself had no shoes to wear, no com
Portable clothing, and not enough to
eat At the same time the English
girls were stolen from home; they
packed their clothing, and sent it off
to a neighbours first; then, when their
father was absent, they ran away to
the coast, leaving a note which put
their father on the wrong track. They
had timed the performance SO there
should be no delays; and when their
father, suspecting their intention,
rushed to Liverpool to intercept their
flight, the skip with them on board
had proceeded to sea-" He said fur
Their that when his father was a mis-
sionary in England a neighbor Of
theirs sent him sos, with instructions
to pick out some girl that would
marry him and send her over.
The order was obeyed; the woman
was sent out, and on landing went di-
recly to the house of the man t.
whom she had been consigned, as
though she were a case Of rags, or &
Norfolk pol,ed heifer. He further
says that such cases are common, and
always have been This is worse tnan
importing Chinese or Dago contract
Iaborers. If the mater cannot be
reached by law, there certainly ought
to be more general distribution o.
the facts about Mormonism in the old
country We think in this respect a
revulsion i. going on against the creed
already in Great Britain. This same
mans father is on g mission in Great
Britain now, and the son showed q
letter received from him recently, In
which he said: Things are very dull
here this country is done with Mormo-
nism." The facts will be found out after
awhile. but in the meantime, If no
other plan can be devised to stop the
importation Of Mormon contract harem
laborers, means should be taken to
make it impossible for them to acquire
homes in the United States. There is
no particular promise OF strength to a
nation, when the mothers Of the race
are degraded enough to contract to
become the polygamous wives o fanny
brute who will pay their fare across
