Care of Farming Implements.

Exchange.
The time of year has come when
it is necessary to prepare for the
"stormy blasts " of the winter.
Nearly all good farmers have fig
urcd out by this time how they cx-
pcct to get through the winter
themselves and how they expect to
take proper care Of their stock. A
few of these, too, have sheds, where
they have already stored away their
farming implements so that they rs
well may be preserved in proper or
der for use next year. They have
been cleaned and oiled at the work
ing points, and have been placed
under cover so that they may not
rust during the winter. These
thoughtful farmers will have their
machinery in good condition when
thcy wish to use it next spring, and
will have very few repairs to make,
and nocd not lose much time in get
ting this wcll-cared-for machinery
ready for work.
But there are some farmers, some
of them pretty go)d farmers, too,
who have no sheds especially pro-
vided for their farm implements, or
having sheds, have no particular
rule for storing away their machin.
cry after use. When a mower Or
reaper or drill has done it's work
in the summer, they are a little too
busy with other work to house it at
once, and so they leave these in the
field for a time until the leisure
time come to gather them up. Pro-
crastination and delay do their work
when nothing else is working, and
the reaper and mower and drills,
etc, are left just whore they were
last used until winter comes, and

Surgeon-General L. w Read, Of the
National Guard Of Pennsylvania, whose
residence is ct Norrstown, has under
taken at his personal expense to put the
tomb Of General Hancock ia complete
order The present condition OF the
tomb has been caused IN part by the

Wyoming blue stone will be used and 1t
is probable thst the reconstructed

President Cleveland siill remains the
only prominent political leader ia either
OF the great parties who has had the
courage to come out squarely for
honest money The Republican
Presidential candidates--of which there
are constantly increasing numbers, steer
clear Of this great Issue. an issue upon
which che national campaign viii ba
fought beyond the question Of doubt
Then why do the politicians OF both the
Democratic and Republican parties fight
shy OF IT. To do them justice, the free
silver men slow the courage Of their
convictions and have announced their
ultimatum, free silver or ruin" This
means ruin either way, for ruin Is sure
TO follow free silver
Let us look back in this matter. The
silver men were powerless when they had
the solid Democracy OF the West aud
South and nearly half the Republicans Of
those sections on their side How can
they expect to win now, when the entire
Eastern portion Of the Union are In arms
to defeat them-when this great section
Of the country will ignore all party lines
TO do so. The fact is, that with all their
noise and buster there Is but one thing
that the 16 to / silver men will succeed
IN doing and that is to break up old
party lines II seemed at first that they
would cause the election Of Republican
President but the leaders of that party
have been so slow to take advantage Of
the opportunity offered them, that 1t
looks as II by the time they are able to
agree on candidate the party would be
iIretrievably smashed.
The next President will not be Grover
Cleveland, mainly because that states
man does not want third term and
could not be persuaded into It, but there
Is every indication that his shoes will be
filed by the man he nominates as his
successor. The free silverltes may de.
stroy both the Democratic and Rspubli
can parties, but tsey cannot destroy the
confidence OF the people In Grover
Cleveland. There have been times when
that confidence has fsltered-when the
smoke made by the jIngoists aud the
Vaccinations OF the silverltes have
seemed to be dimming the fair fame Of
this statesman Of the people But these
clouds have rolled, and are rolling
away.
The wisdom Of the Presidents foreign
policy Is showing itself more and more
clearly and he has shown himself
capable Of withstanding popular olamor,
when need be, to serve his country. And
now that the fight Is on and It has become
plain that the ailverites are determined
to make one superb umRn effort to rule or
ruin, the "honest money" people Of the
country bail Grover Cleveland as the only
statesman, In either Of the great parties,
who has the courage Of his convictions
the only one who daIes 10 announce his
convictions anu Is willing to fight for
them. Whit be any wonder then If our
President goes out Of Office more honored
than ever before, while he names his own
successor with tho full appreciation Of the

An Electrical Wonder.

George Hager, s years old, of
Guthrie, o. t., is said by the local
papers to be an electrical wonder.
His parents say that there has al
ways been something uncanny about
him and that whenever, as q child,
he was lifted suddenly from tho floor
or bed cracking noise would be
heard, and a slight shock or prick.
ing sensation was felt by the person
lifting him, somewhat similar to the
shock received from n small storage
battery. The boy is now old enough
to take cosnizanco of his peculiar
power, and no takes great delight in
shocking those who como near him.
He can greatly increase tho force Of
the shock by rubbing his feet on the
carpet, and after dark the electrical
