CARE OF IMPLEMENTS.
Now Ia the Time to Clean and Stol
Them Away Under shelter.

Now that the greater part of tine sea-
sons work is finished, it will be a good
plan to gather up all of the implements.
pIows, harrows, ~cultivators, mowers
r,kes, binders and all such tools and
store them away under shelter. 1t is
rot only necessary to get them under
shelter, but to store them away in Il
good condition. If left exposed to the
weather considerable damage viii De
done by rain, sun, wind and snow. If
proper care is not taken in storing
away considerable injury will be done
10 the iron and steel from rust, and t.
the woodwork by decay. The dirt
should all be cleaned off. If allowed
to remain on, as is often done, it will
increase the conditions for decay.
Clean off the dirt of every kind, washing
il necessary. and then paint well. Lin
seed oil and Spanish brown, red YER
million or red Ochre mixed to 4 proper
consistency makes not only a cheap
PAINT but a durable one, and it will
pay to keep the woodwork of all the
implements and the wagons covered
with it.
Black asphaltum paint is best for the
iron and steel except the working parts
the share and mold-boards OF thu
piows, the sickles of the mowers and
parts of this kind that need to b., kept
bright. These should be well oiled
all over or covered with unsalted grease
and then covered with a thick white
wash into which a small quantity of
glue has beer stirred. This will prevent
rust and save much time in getting the
implements in condition for work in the
spring.
The work Of cleaning and painting
can be lone better now than n any
other time, and the tools will be all
the better for it. Some time IN the
spring can be saved if n little care is
taken in storing them away. Put the
implements like the mower, binder and
hay rake in first, and the pillow, cult
yator and harrow that Will be Eeeded
first in the spring, last. This vii!
save overhauling in the spring. If the
tool shed has no floor, put boards under
the wheels and under every part of
the machinery that comes directly
upon the ground.
Shelter for the machinery. and put
ting away in good condition will
pay as well as good sheltering of the
stock. Summer sun and rain are al
most. il not quite, as injurious as win
ter wind and storms.-St. Louis Re

What Mohair and Alpaca Are.

Mohair is the fleece of the Angora
goat. grown in the orient and at the
Cape, and is the most ~lustrouS fiber
known. In its natural state it is white,
and can consequently be dyed to any
color. Alpaca is the fleece of the animal
of that name, also of the goat family
Qllma is q near relation), and is rown
in South America. In its natural state
it is black, brown or piebald, with a very
small proportion of white. Consequent
ly it car only be dyed n darker color,
generally black. Whenever, therefore.
YOU see a luster dress which is lighter
than dark gray, you may be sure it is
mohair, especially if it has a peculiar
sparkle which is something like that
OF a newly broken piece of lump sugar.
Alpaca, being somewhat finer and soft
er than mohair, is mostly used for coat
E-ings, but it is also made into dress
goods in its natural gray. 1t was in
troduced and intended for Innings. but
was taken up by n whim of fashion for
dresses and had n great run 30 years
ago. Its popularity gave the name OF
alpaca in q rough and ready way to all
bright goods, although most of them
are made from mohair. and many of
them from English wool. - St. Louis

ROUND ABOUT EUROPE.

The city of Basel has refused the
government of Alsace-Lorraine per-
mission TO dam the Rhine for purposes
of irrigation.
In the Swiss canton Wallis the med
ieval custom still exists of ringing all
the church bells to avert an impending
thunderstorm or untimely fall of snow.
In Munkacs, where the Magyars, I'M
der their commander, Arpad, entered
the country now called Hungary, the
foundation stone has been laid of q
monument cormemorating the mil
lennium. The ceremony was followed
by n brilliant scene of festivities.
Paris has been unfortunate in float
ing its bonds lately. Of the GO,00O,0 OO
francs worth of lottery bonds for the
exhibition of 1900 only between 3d.
600, 900 and $4,000, 900 were subscribed

they are quoted on the bourse at from
1925 to II francs.

nail rough boards, as shown in the
secvtion in Fig. l. This will hold the
heaped-up earth in place till the sod is
applied, and thereafter will give great
fiImness to the terrace until nature so
compacts all the materials as to make
slipping impossible, as shown in Fig. 2.
There is shown in this Cr~oss-section
an excellent point in applying turf to
terraces. The end of the roll is begun on
The level top of the terrace, and is carried
out over the edge and down the slope,
thus giving nc open crack at the upper
edge, where an opening is specially
detrimental 10 the well-being OF a ter
race. As sharp and distinct an edge n
be made in this way as where the OPEN
ing comes at the edge, while the results
of the former practice are far superior.

races. They are an abomination in the
sight of good landscape gardening; and
as for three terraces, n above an
otheT-well, words fail me fifty to
characterize such ]atrociOus mutilation
of the odd sod"
In making 4 single terrace, it is a
somewhat difficult matter to make a
loose bank OF earth remain in place
until the sod is applied, and even after
the sod is in place any pressure on the
top of the terrace is likely to cause the
whole upper edge to slip off. To pre-
vent this trouble, drive two or three
rows of stakes along the extent OF the
proposed terrace, and to the upper part

Dishonored Drafts.

When the stomach dishonors the drafts
made upon it by the rest of the system. it is
necessarily because its FUND of strength is
very low. Toned with HOstetter's Stomach
Bitters, it soon begins to pay out vipor in
the shape of pure, rich blood, containing
the elements of muscle, bone and brain. AS
o sequence of the new vigor afforded the
stomach, the bowels perform their functions
regularly. and the liver works like clock
work. Malaria has no effect upon a system
thus reinforced.

DUN'S REPORT.
Speculative Reaction Has Not
Changed in the Least.
The Railroad Earnings Are Al Per
Cent. Larger Than Last Year.
Demand for Boots and Shoes Slightly Bet
ter-Textile Manufactures Making Inn
provement--Print Cloths Decline to
the Lowest Point Ever Reached.

NEW YORK, June 13.-R G. Dun d
Co. says Saturday in their weekly re-
view of trade:
Failures for the week have been 246
in the United States against 241 last
year and 81 in Canada against "a last
year.
Speculative reaction has not the
least changed the business outlook.
The fictitious price made for wheat and
cotton meant no good except for indi-
viduals and the change in prices more
nearly in accord with actual relations
of demand and supply only con-
firms the conditions which have
been well known for months. The at
tacks on stocks on Wednesday was so
plainly artificial that it's influence
passed with the day. and neither in
foreign relations nor in domestic busi-
ness was there anything to justify
alarm. The Government report as to
wheat indicated much smaller yield
than anybody really expects, but that
has become so much the rule that
the report had no real influence and
the principal effect was the serious de-
probation caused by large sales in an
ticipation of the report which seemed
to be thoroughly known in advance to
some spectators. The government
estimate as to cotton was unexpectedly
favorable, and has caused decline of
more than half cent in single
week.
Railroad earnings for the first week
of June were 4. per cent. larger than
last year.
1t is not the time to look for marked
improvement in industries and the best
thing that can be said of them is that
none have as yet been seriously dis
turbed by the threatened labor
difficulties. 1t seems not improb-
able that all such difficulties
may be averted, except, perhaps
puddlers and tin plate workers. Mar
kets are extremely dull because great
number of orders for finished products
are kept back by uncertainty regard
ing the maintenance of prices by the
various pools and combinations In all
the markets the tendency is toward
lower prices.
The demand for boots and shoes
seems slightly better, notwithstanding
an advance of 2}5 cents per pair is de-
manded on some staple qualities. The
textile manufactures are making i'm
provement. The accumulation of cot
ton goods continues. Print cloths
have declined to the lowest point ever
reached, and a general stoppage to re-
lieve the market is expected. Sales of
wool in two weeks Of June have been
only 5, ,S23, 900 pounds against L., 2,562, 900
pounds last year, and no gain is ex-
pected in the manufacture for some
time TO come.
