WINTER CARE OF IMPLEMENTS.

When farmers car get only fifty.
three cents per bushel for wheat-that
was the amount received by some OF
our st. Louis County farmers for GOOD
winter wheat--it will not do to leave
the mower or reaper at the end of the
last round Of last seasons harvest.
Nor will it do to leave the pillow and
harrow where last used, either in the
furrow or turned up on the handles.
Timbers bent by steam will lose their
artificial form or shape when exposed
to all the weathers of the season. AL,
most all farm tools or implements have
thus received an artificial shape for
the better adaptation to the labor fol
which they were constructed. This
being the case, no farmer can afford
to leave mis- tools and implements with.
out protection.
If no better means can be afforded
by way of a regular tool house or shop,
a few poles and crutches can be
placed as to receive a covering Of
marsh or swamp hay or of rye OF
wheat straw. Often this can be made
as a sort of 'sleanto" to a stable, and
it can be made tight and secure from
wet and affording- additional warmth
and support for general stabling.
There is no time to lose to make
things snug in this direction.
It is granted that nowadays a good
farm wagon or a reaper or mover or q
hay rake can be had for about half the
cost of the same article a dozen years
ago, but that is no reason why they
should not be taken care of. ga pen
ny saved is a penny earned" or, as
Poor Richard has it, ssTake care of the
pennies and the pounds will take care

CARE OF ORCHARDS.

The only way to keep up an orchard
is to plant some trees every year.
Most people neglect this, and when
they do plant the trees they set them
too close together, SO that the roots
intertwine and fruit production is
checked.
Apple trees should be set at least
thirty feet apart each way. 1t il a
mistake to imagine an orchard will
take care of itself. Trees require the
attention Of the owner just as we'll as
stock or farm crops. and neglect will
be repaid in the same fashion. If you
are not willing to give proper care. it
is better to cut the trees down and
pillow up the land. It is useless to ex-
pect to get something Tor nothing

A Curious 1optic Sleeping Custom.

The Coptic patriarch Of Alexandria
is eve allowed to sleep more thar
fifteen minutes at any M time, and
if the attendant should allow the holy
ones nap to extend beyond the allotted
time the penalty is decapitation. Upon

upon it, bows his head three times to
the east and then again r~etires. st,

The olst of March and the 2lst of Sep

because the relative position of the earth
and sun are such that the great Iuminary
on those days crosses the celestial equa.
tor which is great circle in the heavens
(of course imaginary corresponding to
the equator upon the earth. At the
vernal equinox (March) the sun passes
from south to north, and at the autumnal
