Tools and Repairs,
CultivatOr.

1t must be very bunglIng farmer who
cannot afford to have from so to S25
worth of sharp tools and a good place to
keep and use them. The interest on such
an investment will be less than it may
cost to make single trip to the village
to get some small but very indispensable
repairing done when harvest is driving,
and perhaps several IRen waiting with
nothing to do but to figure up how much
they will get for the time they are idle.
Some men have very little faculty in the
use of tools, but if there are two or three
boys in the family there will probably be
at least one of them that will probably
learn to use tools, if he can find them to
use. Unless we lived very near a shop we
should as soon think of getting along
without a pillow or cultivator as to get
along without a good hammer, and yet
until moving machines came into general
use and wrenches were put in as part of
the outfit by the manufacturer monkey
wrenches were quite rarely found on farms
and an old pair of pincers were frequent
~ the nearest approach to monkey
wrench VIXEN nut needed to be taken off
for putting a point to the plow We
know this, for we have had Jour fingers
pinched many times trying to do Just
this thing, before good wrenches became
common. No farm outfit is complete
without two or three saws, claw hammer,
hatchet, square, some planes, a set of
bits and bit-stock, screw driver, a few
ginlets, avis, punches, files of different
shapes and sizes, two or three chisels, a
mallet and good workbench with wise
attached

Glover as Il Forage.
Iowa Homestead.

Prof. S. A. Knapp, of the Iowa agrieul-
tUral college, a gentleman who has devot-
ed much attention to the grasses, says, of
clover:
"It has a composition quite similar to
cows muk-more dry matter and more
ash, less lat albuminoids nearly the
same" and that San acre of good clover
will produce in one season II tons or
more of green food, containing two and
two-ffths tons of dry matter, equal to SO
bushels of corn, and more than its equiv
alent FOR food. Glover is a wonderful
feeder. Tt greedily devours barnyard
manure and ashes, and has special Iik-
ing for gypsum. As grain food 1t is
not necessary to find BETTER
In relation to flavor Prof. Knapp says
it is of the highest order. Tested with
fifty of the best grass and forage plants.
placing bunch of red clover, when about
seven or eight inches tall, beside similar
bunch of Alfalfa, Orchard grass, italian
Rye grass, ETC., and allowing the sheep
cow, and pig to decide the question of
relative palatability, in every case the pig
and sheep took the clover first, and in
most cases the COW did the same"
Red clover when young has nutritive
ratio of one to two, which shows that it is
nearly equal to oil-meaI for growing
young animals. As the plant ap.
paoaches maturity the water, tho ash

THE VIRTUES OF HONEY.
Pure honey should always be used freely
in every family. Honey eaten upon
wheat bread is very beneficial to health.
The use of honey instead of sugar in al
most every kind of cooking is very pleas
ant for the palate as it is healthy for the
stomach. In preparing blackberry, IA sp-
berry and strawberry shortcake it is in
fn1tely superior. 1t is a common expires
sion that honey is a luxury, having moth
ing to do with the life giving principle,
This is an error; honey is food in one of
its most concentrated forms. True it
does not add so much to the growth of
the muscles as does beef steak, but it does
impart other properties no less necessary
to health and vigorous physical and in
teilectual action. 1t gives warmth to the
system arouses nervous energy and gives
vital functions. To the laborer it gives
strength, and to the business man mental
force. It's effects are not like ordinary
stimulants, such as spirits, ETC., but pro-
duce healthy action, the results of which
are pleasing and permanent-a sweet
disposition and a bright intellect.

Novelties in JeWelry.


Plain band rings, in nugget finish, are
selling well.
The demand for single moonstone rings
is still strong.
Fancy single-stone opal rings are find
ing ready sale.
Doublets of rubies and emeralds are
again popular in rings.
Tourmalines, in combination with dia-
monds, are seen in fancy rings.
Antique stage intaglio rings are now
made in nugget-fnish and are well re-
ceived.
Fancy or plain single-stone opal scarf
pins are rapidly making their way into
favor.
Twisted wire rings are popular; two or
three of different colors being knotted to-
gether closely.
The enamalled pansy, acknowledged
and conferred, are now used in scarf pins
with good effect.
Scarf-pins in the form of birds claw
grasping a gem-cut piece of topaz or
hematite are occasionally seen.
Plain bar pins set with pearls and tur-
quoises seem at present to please more
than elaborate patterns.
Spinels and chrysoberyls, in combina-
ton with diamonds, are still numbered
among the popular oddities.
Louis XI. styles are reviving in Paris.
| Miniatures set around with diamonds are
considerably worn there.
| Red onyx sleeve buttons, gold-rimmed
and cut in antique intaglio, are neat and
in harmony with popular styles.
! The moon stone ball enclustered in
diamonds, recently noticed in rings, is
also to be found in studs and collar-but
| tons.
| Queen chains in oxidized silver with
fiat pendants, one side of which is orna-
mented with antique heads, are worn by
some.

FARM, HOME AND GARDEN
SONG OF THE FARMERS WIFE.
GOOD HOUSEKEEPING.

Monday is for washing,
Tuesday is for ironing,
"Wednesday is for mend ng and putting CT othes
away:
Thursday is for churning,
Friday IL for baking,
Saturday is always the grand cleaning day.
But then there is the breakfast
And tht dinner aud tea co get;
BeSid es there is the milking TO be done each
night and morn:
The hens TO feed, the knitting,
The sweeping and the bread to set
And the carding of the wool when the sheep are
shOrn.
There is never any ending.
But always work beginning,
From early Monday morning till Saturday at
night;
But oftentimes find,
If q merry song I'm singing,
My heart is gay and happy, then all my work
seems liyht.

female head-gear therein. Shortly
one Of them moved over to the other

beauties edged back to her companion
and grasped her arm, squeezing 1t
warmly % she chatted enthusiastic-

For fully two minutes she stood thus

supposed to be her shopping mate, not

birds and bright ribbous and flowers
which adorned the bonnets within
the plate-glass. But at last the swak-

when well known man about town
turned his face toward hers and re-
marked: "You are catching on swift-"
Imagine the suddenness with which
