THE Farm WORKSHOP.

Every Farmer Will Agroe With This Ad.
vice.
Every farm should have its workshop;
that Is, soma su:table place where re-
pairs can be made on short notice. The
farmer who does not have = few good
tools and q place to keep and use them,
must necessarily lose much valuable
time in busy season. Farm impIe-
ments will give way and break with
the best of management especially
those that have become worn; nut will
loosen, bolt break, piece of timber
split. and in the course of years work
innumerable little things will go wrong
that cause delay and loss Of time. Very
often the time it takes going to and
from the regular repair shop amounts to
great deal more than the few cents the
mechanic will charge for making the re-
pair. 1t is certain, says the Ohio Farm
er, that all farmers can not live close to
town, and of course the farther from
the shop the greater the delay and cost.
i Isuppose it would be hard to find .
farmer that does not have scattered
about, somewhere on the promises, .
hammer, a saw, . few augers, and per-
haps jack plane and chiscl or two,
but on how many farms can these tools
be found in q well-appointed room,
every one in place made to keep it,
and where it can always be found when
not In use?
How many farmers in addition to
these few simple tools have variety
Of others, such as brace and bits, q few
chisels Of different sizes, squares, files,
punches and stock and dies with tap?
Perhaps some one will say, If every
farmer was SO provided it would de-
priye the local mechanic of his patron
age and means of a living. as he has to
depend largely on the repair work OF
the farmer for his support. Not neces-
sarily so. Every blacksmith will tell
you that there is little for him in those
small tinkering jobs that take but few
minutes to complete, taking him from
some other job where his time is more
valuable.

Catarrhal Deafness-Hay Fevsr-A New
Home Treatment.
Sufferers are not generally aware that
these diseases are contagious, or that they
are due to the presence Of living parasites
in the lining membrane of the nose and
eusGachian tubes. Microscopic research,
however, has proved this to be fact, and
the result of this discovery is that simple
remedy has been formulated whereby
Catarrh, Hay Fever and Catarrhal Deafness
ore permanently cured in from one to three
simple applications made at home by the
patient once in two weeks.

The GERMAN DOMESTIC.


She Wears No Bangs. But she Does the
Work Of Two Men.
The German servant girl has no bangs
nor bangles, nor fur-lined coats, nor
four-buttoned kid gloves. She is square
shouldered, heayy-featured and large
limbed. She is neither clean, quick,
nor intelligent. bnt she can work. She
has the strength of an OK, and is always
willing to use 1t. Most servant girls in
German cities are peasants. Daughters
Of the poor town-bred families usually
become factory hands, shop girls or
waitressess-
The conservative peasants, however,
with their old prejudices in favor Of
every thing feudal, prefer domestic
services for their children to any en-
ployment. As soon as the peasants
daughter Is fourteen or fifteen years old
she learns how to split wood, hoe pota-
toes and plant cabbages. She milks the
cow before breakfast, bitches her to the
plow after breakfast, and often turns

tion Of her father, who, in the mean
while. smokes . pipe and rests. She
mows hay and digs water trenches.
During the harvest she carries great
baslketfuls Of vegetables from the fields

younger sister becomes old enough to
help her parents to work the little farm,
however, the eldest daughter loses her
grip on her fathers heart She is re-

German peasant than q grown daughter

THE HARDEST OF WORK.

meets Saturday. Then her nights are
taken up with bowling club, q pro-

mentioned dude. Sandwiched between
all these are innumerable social calls,
luncheons, and such things. Sundays
are roaring days with her, too. She is
q teacher in Sunday school, and she
never misses evening service. OF course
she has good many other things to

they are just now. Head lazy life as

Cooking food for stock has these ad
vantages: 1t furnishes more digestible
food; as it is fed in better shape not so
much food is wasted; it enables us to
feed odds aud ends, rough fodder, etc.,
which could not be made so available IL
1t were not cooked, and animals do bet
ter upon cooked than upon uncooked
food, though precisely what the per
cent of advantage Is in that direction
It wonld not be possible to state. The
difference has been claimed to be all the
way from ten to fifty per cent in favor
Of cooked food. Now, with these ad-
vantages before him the feeder must de-
termine for himself whether or not It
will pay him to cook the food for his an
imals If the system Of heating water
for animals should become widely adopt
ed, we have no doubt that the apparatus
used for heating the water will be made
available for cooking food. But IL the
advantages were fully fifty per cent It
would not always pay to cook the food.

THE PRESCRIBED RACE.
AMENDMENTS TO THE CHINESE
CENSUS BILL.
Alterations Made. by the Senate Com
mittee that Will Not Suit the
Pacific Coast-Agitation Among the
Celestials in New York.

WASHINGTON, April 1.-At meeting
of the Senate committee on census, the
House bill providing for the furnishing
of certificates to Chinese residents on
the 1st of June, 1890, by the enumer-
ators of the census, with the view of
prohibiting the further immigration Of
Chinese to the United States, was
amended.
As reported to the Senate, the bill, in
addition to the provisions heretofore
given, provides that Chinese children
born in the United States subsequent to
June J., 1890, shall not be held to be
Chinese within the meaning of the act.
Another amendment makes the provi-
sions of the act apply only to Chinese
who refuse to give the information re-
quired by the census enumerators, and
who shall fail or refuse to obtain the
certificate OF identification provided for.
BY another amendment, Chinese mer-
chants are exempted from the operations
of the act, provided they have certif-
Gates required by the act of July 5,
1884.
An additional section enables Chinese
resident who fails to obtain the required
certificate of identification, to prove by
competent testimony that he has a
right to one, which is his sole evidence
of being lawfully in the United States.
1t is made misdemeanor for census
enumerator to wilfully neglect or refuse
to give the required certificate.
In it's present shape the bill is wholly
unacceptable to the Pacific Coast.
