WINTER STORAGE OF FARM IMPLEMENTS.

WINTER STORAGE OF FARM IMPLEMENTS
Upon storing farm implements in
proper condition depends, in no small
degree, the success of farming, writes
j. VI. Stahl, of Illinois. The man who
provides a dry, airy shelter for farm
tools and machines, and puts them IN
it when they are not in use, has done
a wise and profitable thing; but he
may have done only half of what he
might and should do for the preservN-
ton and good work Of his tools and
machines. He should also put the
tools and machines away in good con
dition. This includes freedom from
dirt. The pillow, for example, put
away coated with mud will rust and
rot though in good shelter; and such
q coating is yet more harmful to the
delicate parts of machines. Though
bright and steel surfaces are clean
they will probably rust unless coated
with oil in some form; and to be sure
that even clean wood does not rot one
must coat it with paint or oil. For
coating metal surfaces coal oil or beef
tallow is good. OF course the tallow
should be applied in a liquid condition
1t will pay to coat rough but implanted
metal surfaces as well as polished ones,
For farm tools and machines mineral
paint is better than artificial pigments,
and brown mineral paint Is very cheap
indeed Anyone ought to be able to
mix it-use only boiled linseed oil,
and the best is certainly the cheapest;
or one can buy ready mixed paints of
good quality at reasonable prices.
One should have two brushes "a large
one for ordinary surfaces and a small
one for narrow surfaces or small
corners. 1t is advisable to put away
all tools and machines in condition for
work-plOws, hoes, harrows or sickles,
sharp and with all breaks repaired and
weak parts strengthened. There will
be more time for this at the close than
at the beginning Of the seasons work;
and then one has the comforting as
surance that as soon as the season per-
mits he may begin work. When one
puts away the implements just as they
leave the field, it is often found that it
has been forgotten that some must be
mended and others sharpenod, and
this is not recollected until they are
brought out for work; then vslu-
able time must be lost i'll going to the
blacksmith.

these waters as the pioneer British
whaeback Turret, which steamed
into New York harbOr the other day
after a nine-days' voyage from Tuca-
cas-. Venezuela, with 3,O22 tons Of
copper ore abroad. They don't call
her whale back in England but A
turret steamer, but she is none the
less an adaptation Of the American
whaleback principle. She is 2SO feet
long by 80 feet beam and can carry
3, $50 tons dead weight on an eight
ecn-fO0t draught OF water. Below
the water line there is little unusual
about the construction, but above
her freeb0ard tumbles home in a
short curve to turret running from
stem to stern, and she looks like an
ordinary ship set into the back OF a
monstrOuS turtle. The vessel was
launched year ago from the yard OF
DoxfOrd Il Sons, Sunderland, and is
owned by Peterson, Tate & Co., OF
Newcastle. She has proved an easy
boat in a seaway and several sister
ships are in course of construction.
The Turret will remain at the Erie
basin this week and will then pro-
coed to Philadelphia.

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

Clean up and paint the machines.
Tall grass is Objectionable in a sheep
pasture.
A wise farmer puts his tools in order
on rainy days.
Look we'll to the fences between the
pasture and cornfeld.
When two vessels of ripening cream
are poured together be careful to mix
thoroughly by stirring.
1t is claimed that roofing felt is ex-

Odor keeps vermin away.
A warm, comfortable house is APP
preciated by the hen, who reciprocates
with a good supply of eggs.
The last eggs of hens clutch are
not considered nearly as fertile as the
first, nor are the chicks as strong or
healthy.
If you do not know what color to
paint the wagon and machinery, give
them a coat of linseed oil-that is the
preserving part of paint.
Make all the hay and save all the
fodder you can. 1t looks as if there
would be demand fer Al hay for
shipment across the sea.
The acquisition of honey bee knowl-
edge is not the chief end of man but
it is noble end. And the interest in
the pursuit is inexhaustible
The time between harvesting the
small grain and corn cutting may be
we'll used in blowing. Done early it
prevents many weeds from going to
seed.
The production of choice mutton,
with the secondary profits Of wool,
manure and fertilizers, is the best
source of profit of the most successful
English farmers.
Participating is the way the hens
put into practice the old saying "Sa-
tan finds some mischief still for idle
hands to do" If for hands you read
hens, you can understand the situation
at once.
Farmers who are thinking of plant

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
EGGS FOR MARKET.

It is universally conceded that it
paws to sort and pack carefully all irult
intended for market, but many per-
sons are under the impression that
when it comes to eggs this care IS un-
necessary. As long as the eggs are not
broken they imagine nothing else mat
tiers.
They never made a bigger mistake.
To sell we'll all kinds of food must be
tempting to the eye. Cleanliness is
the first thing to be considered, and
for this reason many of the eggs must
be washed. The next point is the uni
formity of color, which is attained by
keeping certain breeds that lay eggs
of the same color. In this connection
it is we'll to find out the color IL
demand, as some markets require
brown eggs, while in others the white
are preferred.
Finally, the eggs should be sorted
according to size. All housekeepers
feel themselves cheated if they find one
or more small eggs among their pur-
chases. For this reason small eggs
should not be mixed with those of the
usual size. On the other hand, I'M
commonly large ones should also be
laid aside They are equally obiec-
tionable, as they tend to make the 9th
ers appear small by comparison. At
tention to all these points pays in the
long run.-New York World.

Facts About Yankee Doodle.

The tune of Yankee Doodle" has
had seven or eight treatises written
upon it in the last thirty years, aScrib
ing it to various dates and origins, even
back to the Netherlands and the days
of Cromwell and the Charleses. Dr.
George Grove, of London, England,
author of the Dictionary of Music and
Musicians" has investigated thorough
ly the various musical libraries and the
British Museum in England, finding no
traces of it whatever, thus exploding
all the mystical traditional and apo
cryphal accounts thereof. But Yam
kee Doodle" had an origin and has a
history. 1t was written by DR.. Rich
ard Schuchburg (whose commission
dates 1870, in the French and Indian
war of 17o5 under Gen. Jeffrey AM
hurst, and was intended as a ''take-off'
on the rag, tag and bobtail' recruits
of the colonies that came into the
army. 1t took" so well, however
that the Americans adopted it, and
would not part with it for anything
The first words, Father and l went
down to camp" were in the Boston
Journal in 176S, and the first record of
the tune is in Arnold's 1.-TWO to One"
1884; so that yankee Doodle" al
though written by a British surgeon, is
really American.-Boston Transcript.

New England Farmers Wives.

The wives of the farmers in New
England have had no voice in church
or State. They are a silent and long
suffering company. Even more seldom
than in our common social life do these
wop.en find congenial companionship
in their husbands. Too many of the
present race of farmers keep their
noses so close to the soil and live up
on such plane of earthliness that they
are better companions for their cattle
than for their wives, and they leave to
them the discharge of all the higher
functions of living while they grovcl
upon plane below them. This may
seem harsh statement, but no one
can go among the people as pastor
or as physician who does not have
these facts impressed upon his mind
and heart thousand times. What
shall be done? If ever the farms Of
New England become again the hcri-
tage of the sturdy yeomanry of CEN
tury ago, the women who live upon
them will have more husbands who
share in their higher intellectual and
moral life, men who are educated to
their business, who share in the life of
the community, and who know how to
be genial companions.

Darkness Fayors Growth.

1t is a curious fact that night is the
time which nature utilizes for growth.
Plants grow much more in the night
than In the daytime, as can be proved
any time by measurement. Measure
vine at night, then measure it again
in the morning, and the next night,
and it will be found that the night
growth is two or three times that ac-
complished during the day. During the
day the plant is very busy gathering
nourishment from various sources, and
during the night this raw material IS
assimilated into the plant life.
The same fact Is true Of the animal
creation. Children grow more rapidly
during the night. In the daytime,
while the child Is awake and active,
the system is kept busy disposing of
the wastes consequent on this activity
but during sleep the system is free to
extend its operations beyond the mere
replacing of wornout particles; hence
the rapid growth.
This is why so many invalids need
so much rest and sleep. The system
has been taxed for years beyond its
ability to repair the tissues, and hence
the organism has become worn and
disabled from the accumulation of
waste products, and disease has re-
suited. With the proper conditions re-
stored, and a season of perfect rest,
nature will reassert herself, clearing
up the clogged and dirty tissues and
restoring the organs to their normal
condition.-Good Health.
