FARM IMPLEMENTS.

Great Many Years.

Every farmer in this country has a
certain amount of his capital invested
IN farm implements. 1t is not az I'M
common occurrence TO meet men who
say that the outlay each year for new
implements eats up nearly all the
profits in their business. This cNpendi-
ture may be materially reduced SAYS
Farmers Advocate. by giving better at
tentiou 10 repairing and housing all
the machinery us soon as convenient
/ after the busy season is over. On many
well-regulated farms il is customary 10
/ put the implements under cover
| throughout the summer when not in
use. BY this means the implements will
wear much longer and do more salts
factory work. 1t also adds much TO the
appearance of farm to have the i'm
PIGMENTS inside rather than having
each one used to close up hole in the
fence or perhaps for less suitable pur-
pose. Though it may be the rule on
many farms 10 put away the harvesting
implements for the winter at this sea-
son. 1t is the exception to find farmer
who goes carefully over his machine
and puts it in proper condition for next
seasons work. The person who has
used the implement during the summer
knows exactly what repairs are re

are that nothing will be done until the

in these mortises and held by pegs

MAN Slayer.

A reader of the JOURNAL sng-
gests that bur- article relative to
the killing of a section hand at Del
Norte last week by Fred Quay
should have been headed "a Cold
bloodcd Murder" and not "Homi.
eide"
At the time the article was writ
ten the facts in the case were not
fully known. Homicide means
man slayer and covers cold -bloodcd
or accidental killing.
The writer says, ''any person
that gets drunk and kills some one
while he is under the inf flucncc OF
liquor should be called Il murderer.
Neither in law nor in ethics i.
drunkenness any excuse for the
commission of any crime. A mar
charged with murder cannot be al
lowed to plead that he was under
the influence of liquor and did no,
know what he was doing.
1t is undoubtedly true that u,
least one half of the hon,icides com
mittsd are done by men under tn,
influence of liquor, and any mar
known to drink Intoxicating liquol
should not, under any circum
stances he allowed to carry re
volver.
Tho finding of the jury and jus
tice before whom Quay had n hear
ing would seem to indicate that ,
5000 bail was too small.

as to the facts in the case and henc

Tho Del Norte Enquirer is in.
clinod to mako fun of the commit
tee appointed by tho farmers of
tho valley to 90 to Denver to &C.
cure better rates for shipping out
their surplus wheat.
A careful inspection of the per-
sonel Of tho committee, reveals the
fact that nearly every man is under
personal obligations to the d. 6 X.
G., for special favors received.
The following comprises the COM
mittcc:
Frank Goudy, Bob Wallace,
Chas. Brickenstein, NJ. B. Colt,
Asa +. Middaugb, Geo. H. Adams,
Dan Ncwcomb, John Wallace, j.
NJ. Warden, w. K. Pykc, w. IL.
Terry, Levi Peck.
The majority of this committee
have ridden on free passes for
years; Brickenstein and Colt, for
instance, neither pay transportation
for themselves nor allow their
friends to pay fare over this road.
OF course only those who have free
transportation will ever 60 to Den
yer and those who do 60 may sue
ceed in getting their passes extend
cd and that is about all they are
likely to accomplish.
We can imagine Bob Wallace,
as spokesman, having made the
speech for the committee and then
all sit down to listen to President
Jefery's reply. Mr.. Jcffcry will
call Mr.. Wallacc's attention to the
fact that this road was built some
years ago when labor and material
were on grccnback basis, and is
heavily bonded to European cap
italists, and that it takes n good
deal of wheat and corn now days
to pay our foreign interest account;
that the road is not paying divi-
dcnds and there is danger of its
being pushed into the hands of a
receiver if it commences to cut
rates; this road is one of the most
liberal in the country toward its
employees and the public, and
after showing the committee the
inside of the BUSINESS of the road
Mr.. Jcffcry suggests they better
have their transportation fixed up
and then go home to their people
and quiet any dissatisfaction tina,
may exist IN the valley.
