n STORAGE OF ARM IMPLEMENTS

Upon storing farm implements in
proper condition depends, in no small
degree, the success of farming, writes
J, M. 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
q wise and profitable thing; but he
may have done only half of what he
might and should do for the preserva-
sion 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
o 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 liquid condition.
II will pay to coat rough but implanted
metal surfaces as we'll 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 oil
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
ct the beginning of the seasons work
and then n has the comforting as
surance that as oon as the season per
mits he may begin work. When one
puts sway the implements just as they
leave the field, it is often found that il
has been forgotten that some must be
msnded and others sharpened, and
this is not recollected until they are
brought out for work; then valu'
able time must be lost in going to the
blacksmith.

An Independent Farmer

In Oconee County can be found one
man who does not worry about hard
times. That man is MIR. B. G. Roth
ell, who lives on Brass Town Creek,
in Pulaski Township, and he began
life in 1869, very poor man, too.
He started out with only eight dollars
in cash. In July, 1869, he bought
his first piece Of land, paying for it
with the proceeds of tobacco sold by
him to Judge Norton when he was
running a tobacco factory in West
Union. Since then he has continued
to buy, until now he owns over 700
acres, 1875 Of which consists of good
bottom land. He has built two nice
residences on these lands and one
comfortable tenant house. Within
the last five years he has paid over
$4,000 toward the purchase and i'm
provements of his lands. From last
years crop he has now over 1000
bushels of corn, 5000 bundles Of fod-
der, besides hay, shucks and other
forage in proportion, to feed his hor-
ses, mules, cattle, hogs, etc. He
always raises his own meat and stays
out Of debt. He has reared family
of eight children and given them all a
fair English education. And he
raises no cotton Never made but
one bale Of cotton in his life. Mr..
Rothell says he has found the remedy
for hard times and gives US the fol-
lowing prescription: Let politics
alone, don't loaf, but work, and ex
pect no help from the government,
either State or National, and you can t
be hurt by the cry Of hard times.
What he has done ought to be done
by others in like conditions. He has
never bought a pound Of guano nor
bushel of corn for bread, and yet he
has wrought out an independence so
far as worldly possessions are concern
ed. He puts in full time on his farm.
He feeds it and it feeds him.-Keo,oee

on the Azores, in Sulnatra, and else
where but by far the greater number
of terrestrial volcanoes are of the large
cone and small crater variety. Hence
if the ring mountains on the moon are
of volcanic origin, they represent a
phase of volcanic activity that is cx-
ccptional, and not prevalent on the
earth
There is one very curious thing
about the movement of the moon.
Although it goes around us once a
monitor moonth, as | like to call it
we sec only one side Of it. The
other side is entirely unknown, as it
is always turned away from the earth.
Some persons argue from this that
the moon does not rotate on it's axis,
but such an opinion implies a wrong
understanding of rotation. Rotation
consists in turning so as to face in
every direction successively all around
the compass. The moon certainly has
this motion, for during the period of
a month, while it is moving around
the earth, it turns its visible side to-
ward us from all directions.
The curious point here involved is
not that the moon does not rotate,
but that it rotatcs on its axis in the
same period as it revolves around the
carth.-Uarper'S Young People.

After Nine Years.

The following incident is full of
lessons for reformed men. 1t comes
from leader in gospel temperance
work:
A good hearted man, who was under
the power of drink, reformed, and re-
mained steadfast for nine years, amass-
ing fifty thousand dollars in money,
becoming director in an important
temperance institution, and being in
strumental in saving one hundred and
sixty.three men who had fallen. At
the end Of nine years he felt altogcth-
er safe, became proud of his success,
did not like to have any one know he
was a reformed man, and ceased to at
tend and work in the temperance meet
ings. A saloon-keeper got hold of
him, offered to wager ten dollars that
this reformed man Of nine years
standing could not walk around the
block with teaspoonful of whiskey
in his mouth. In the weakness of his
pride the poor fellow accepted the wa
ger, swallowed the whiskey, his appc-
tite was fercely aroused, he began to
drink, and six years after this diabol-
ical temptation he died a drunkard.
"Let him that thinketh he standeth
take heed lest he fall, and let him
remember that to work in Christ S
name for others is the surcst way of
being saved himself.

ReckIessness not Courage.

On the edge of a northern New Eng
land town there was a long hill slop-
ing down deep ravine which was
pierced by railway track, In winter
it was fayorite coasting ground for
hardy, venturcsome boys. Starting
from the crest of the hill, sled ac-
ouired great momentum in the decent
over the icy surface, and on reaching
the bottom, shot over the railway
tracks with the velocity of an express
train.
1t was cxhilarating sport, but haz-
ardous at hours when trains were due.
The danger was increased by sharp
curve of the railway track emerging
from short tunnel, since train
could only be seen a short distance
away.
One winters afternoon a dozen
school-boys were coasting merrily on
the hill, where an icy track had been
worn all the way down. The sport
went on until the town clock struck
five, just as the returning procession
had reached the summit of the slide.
The boys Looked at one another
doubtfully. They knew that train
was due, and that they ought to wait
for it to pass. :.
"There is time for one more trip !
exclaimed the leader. "Who will fol-
low NE p
eco it alone, if you want to- said
one of his companions. GIL wager
you half dollar that you don't dare
try it,
t:Ill take the bet y cried the reck-
less leader, finging himself on his sled
and pushing off.
Down he went, the sled bowling mer-
rily over the ice. Hardly had he
started before a whistle was heard
from the mouth Of the tunnel. The
boys behind him screamed to him to
stop, but it was too late. He was half
way down, his sled running as it it had
been shot out of a gun, and heading
straight for the railway track.
The engineer, rounding the curve,
heard the screams of the frightened
boys and saw the flying sled. He
signallcd the brakemcn, but it was
as impossible within so short dis
tancc to stop the train as it was for
the boy to switch his sled off the icy
track.
As he reached the bottom, the boy
lay fat on the sled with his head
ducked low. The train passed the
coasting track, and came to a halt a
short distance beyond. The boys at
the top of the slide could hardly be-
lieve their eyes. On the other side
Of the railway was their companion,
spinning along on his sled as though
nothing had happened.
The sled with it's rider had shot
under one of the passenger-ca OF the
moving train, going in at one side and
out at the other directly across the
railway track.
The boy, trudging back with his
sled, met his companions and group
of passengers.
6What brave boy ~ exclaimed
many voices. >,
"No, no, not brave, but reckless,
answered the frightened lad, thor
oughly sobered by his folly. "You
may keep the half-dollar, Joe"
Recklessness is not courage.

What We Know of the Moon.

The discovery of the mountains on
the moon by Galileo were among the
first results of the invention of the
telescopes. A very ordinary modern
glass reveals them and telescope of
four or FIVE inches aperture shows
them in much detail an endless de-
light for the observer. Over thirty
thousand of them have been chartcd
on maps of the moon Nearly all of
these mountains have ring-likc form,
with the central area depressed, often
to lower level than that of the sur
rounding country, as is known by the
relative length of the internal shadows.
The diameter of the rings varies
greatly, some of the larger being fifty,
one hundred, or even one hundred and
fifty miles, while the smaller look like
little dots in large telescopes. Their
height above the surrounding plains
may be as much as three or four miles !;
this being less than the highest of
terrestrial mountains, but greater in
proportion to the size of the moon
than any Of our mountains are to~thc
earth. On account of the resemblance
of these ring mountains to certain
terrestrial volcanoes, it has long been
concluded that they were produced by
volcanic action. although no certain
sign of volcanic activity has been de-
tected by direct observation. The
conclusion is very generally accepted !;
yet there are reasons for questioning
it, or at least for holding an open
mind with regard to the origin Of the
rings and cratcrs of the moon.
In the first place nearly all the vol
canoes Of the earth have a large cone
and relatively small crater, while
the reverse is true Of the moon. 1t is
true that in certain terrestrial volcanic
districts the upper portion OF the
cones nave been in some way destroy
ed-blown off or fallen in-leaving a
broad and deep depression, called a
caldera, enclosed by ring-likc walls.
For example, in Italy several such
calderas contains lakes of roughly
circular outline. Similar basins occur
