rel land it is better to raise the ground

level land it is better to raise the ground
in front of the tool house to the height
of the floor than to use an incline, as it
is easier to roll the stock in and out. An
excellent building erected for this pur-
pose | saw in Worcester County, Mass.
1t is built like the drawing. The little
doors enter shop eight feet wide across
one end. Rolling doors protect the re-
mainder of the front. They are hung SO
as to pass one another Or the small doors
and the convenience is perfect. Wagons
or machines out of order may be taken
bodily into the shop where wrenches,
etc, quickly put them to rights wet days.
The shed is twenty feet wide and may be
made of any desired length. A rolling
platform Sx12 feet covers an aperture
in the upper floor through which sleighs,
rakes and other light things are raised
by pulleyS for storage. A piece of
scantling fastened to the wall near the
floor will prevent mowers and wagons
from marring it with their hubs. Album
dance of light should be let in and the
fowls kept out the same as snow and
other destructive agencies.

Item of worse than useless expense, he
will be surprised to see how much his
wastetul methods are losing him. Now
that the harvest season is over, the val
liable machinery used in this work should
be cleaned up, oiled and put under good
shelter. And so of all other implements
when the season is over.
An old farmer who reformed on this
line several years ago, and kept account
of his implements, says his former waste
fulnesS and careless manner OF keeping
implements he found would cost him
more than all the taxes he had to pay an
nually. Now he carefully cleans and
oils his implements and stores them in
dry places, and when the season comes
again uses first coal oil to cut the hard
ened oil on the working parts, and he is
ready with new light-running machinery
to go into his fields. His own experience
has been to make his farm implements
last and do good work twice as many
years as formerly.
1t is these little wastes, which in them
selves seem triting, but are many sided,
and become d great burden to those who
do not note and avoid them.
On this subject Hollister Sage, in Farm
and Home, gives some suggestions for
the erection of q suitable building Tor
the shelter of tools and machinery. He
says:
1t is not to be wondered at that manu-
facturers of agricultural machinery get
rich. The owner OF farm machinery
would do vastly better to go in debt for
means with which to build a tool and
machine house, than get trusted for new
implements with which to work his land
and then leave them to Natures mercies.
The indispensa bIes in tool house are a
tight roof and dry floor. For the former
it is doubtful if anything is superior or
in the long run cheaper than shingles.
For floor lumber will do, but a we'll
drained, slightly raised floor made of
coal ashes, engine cinders, clay or brick
is preferable, being more durable and
stronger. But floor of this kind posi-
lively must be we'll drained or the ma
chimes will be injured by dampness from
below. Where a site can be secured
next the road and sloping from it, the
sills laid on low walls can be filled level
with the flooring. This will pack down
hard and give great satisfaction. On

THE FARMER's LOT.

Up the COule" is the chief piece of the
six. 1t is a tragedy pure and simple,
thought out to the end with the courage
of the purest art. A widow and her two
sons are the dramatis persona, and
along with them appear village men ami
women, farm hands and a few Young
children. The elder son has left the
EARN on which he was born, and has
located in great city. He has talent,
and has risen to prominence in his pro-
fession. He has paid no attention to his
mother and brother for many years, and,
going his OWL way, has left them to go
theirs. Now he thinks of them, and re-
solves to see them again. His raiment
is soft and his personal appea rance
changed. and when he appears on the
scene of his b0yhOod his old acquaint-
ances have forgotten him. His mother
welcomes him and is proud to
hear the story of his achievements.
With tender heart she pardons
his neglect. and in the Joy of
the union forgets the hardships of
her life during his absence. But his
brother. embittered by struggle for
existence in which he has been wOrsted,
resents his prosperity. lie contrasts his
own frame. prematurely racked by
severe and ceaSeleSs manual labor, with
his soft hands. lie hates him because
his life has been full of variety, of
brightness. of color, and of pleasant ex-
periences, while his own days have been
spent in the dull duties of the farm
and his nights in nothing more eyentful
than sleep. for which alone his body has
then been fit. The mother endures her
poverty and is silent under il. But the
brother rebels, and asks why he should
live and die amid such surroundings.
dead with mOnOtony, SCARED with pain,
burdened with debt, and devoid of hope
or the prospect of relief. There they
stand, face to face, the two men-one
no better than the other in figure nor
in ability-and they quarrel with
angry words after their long sepa-
ration, because the one, following
one path, has arrived at prosperity
and has tasted the cup of human hap
pinesS; while the other, who has tray
eled another road, is sentenced to life
long bondage of physical toll and dep
rlvation, against which his aspiring
soul revolts, but revolts in vain. To
any one who has lived amid the things

THE BUSINESS SITUATION.

The GLOBE expressed the opinion a.
week ago that the cold weather, which
it seemed had then begun, would be ac-
cOmpanied by a stimulation of retail
business. The temperature, however,
rose very quickly thereafter. and dur
ing the week there has been the same
succession of bright days which we
have known all this fall. as well as last
October and November The store
keepers in all the cities of this section
complain very much of the effect. and
their trade has been depressingly dull.
1t is an evidence of their stability that
no considerable number Of failures has
resulted. The country merchants have
not the same story to tell. In spite of
the temperature, the farmers have
bought largely because they have had
the means to supply many needs the
qualification of which has long been
postponed. This has made wholesale
business in the iobbins line very active
and collections easy. The bank clear
anceS of st. Paul show an increase of
over 20 per cent, which indicates in
some measure the volume of local trade

NO BELLS AND WHISTLES.

The revival of the chimes on the court
house renewS the quieted conflict of
opinion as to the duty of public bells
and their place in progressive ciYiliZa-
ton. Many would adopt the depreca-
ton Of OTHELLO, on an occasion, to Isl
lence that dreadful bell" There is a
good deal of poetry and sentiment
among the Old bells of the past, but the
evolutions OF city life have made it
question whether the bell, unless for
fire alarm purposes, should not be dis
carded entirely from the urban regimen.
In the early times there were
town crierS who went about do
lug the service of unborn news
papers. Their vocation has been out
grown. Public gatherings then, and still
III the smaller centers of population.
were dependent upon the invocation of
the bells. There is little of that need
III the cities now. a church bell is a
"Reminiscences; not thing of real util-
ity. 1t is not modern form to wait for
the sounding metal to convene assem-
blies. In some of the districts occupied
by working people bell rung at stated
hours is a convenience, perhaps; but.
as a rule, the bells in a city have
no valuable province. With the
use OF steam has grown up a
practice of perforating the defense
less atmosphere with ear-piercing wills
ties. As manufactures and steam APP
planes multiply these screecheS tort
ure the ear in every direction, and at
nearly all hours. With the cheapness
of clocks and watches it would seem
that all who need to know the time
could have the information without dis
tressing the sensitive public ear. Per
haps there is time coming when cleo
tricity will take the place OF steam for
all mechanical and motive purposes. 1t
may be hoped that when that era ar
rives there will be no method devised for
IL to do the whistle act. If it needs to
make announcements it may do its work
in melodiOuS numbers. AS long as
wheels turn on paved streets there will
be noise enough in the city. Jan Cling
bells and steam whistles will be ruled
out in the more perfect and tdneful civ
lliZation that is to come.

IOWA PROHIBITION.

All the Republican members elected
to the Iowa legislature are said to be IN
favor of standing by the prohibition
law and patching up the weak places.
As they have a majority in one branch
of the legislature, this will prevent
carrying out of the wishes of the ma
jority of the people as shown in the
vote for governor. 1t will keep the
weight on the Republican shoulders and
aid materially in giving the state to the
Democrats next year. The policy Re-
publicans generally regret that the Dem
Ocrats will not control the legislature and
have the responsibility for the legisla-
ton on the temperance issue. 1t is I'M
fortunate for the state that the farce OF
prohibition is to be kept up; but, as a
matter of party eXpediency, it is prob
ably better for the Democrats that thew
do not control the legislature. The dis
gust with the ineffective law increases.
and will be even stronger next year.
The prohibitionists control the Repub-
lican party. and will force it to repeat
Its resolve TO stand by the policy. The
late vote was the largest ever cast in

relied on to help them to that result.

it is to oveTestiinate the importance of
such an occurrence; but it is most SUI
