Work Shop on tie Farm.

a. work shop on the farm is a greas
convenience; every progressive farmer
has one, and those who want to keep
up with the advancement of agricul-
tural interests will follow suit. To
build work shop is an easy Job; it
doesn't take long and costs but little,
il constructed as that dear old cabin
in which / used to work. My work
shop was about eight by ten feet and
covered with oak boards and having
no floor save the ground 1t was
sided up with one-inch oak boards,
which were sawed from timber cut in
the woods, the space between the
planks being covered with thin oak
strips. The shop was provided with
an anvil, two strong hammers, wise,
planes, saws, screw-d drivers, chisels, a
shaving horse, brace and set of fif-
teen bits, ranging from an eighth of
an inch to an inch, spoke shaves, a
square and rule, etc, all of which
may be bought new for about $40. /
also had q harness makers outfit in
pairing did not have to go eight or
ten miles to have it done. Whenever
any of the machinery got out of order
it could generally be repaired at home,
and thus save money and time. For
instance, when wheat is dead ripe and
ought to be cut as soon as possible,
the binder breaks, rod or some
minor part gets out of order; then to
the blacksmith shop, unless you are
pretty we'll skilled in the work of re-
pairing iron and have o shop and
tools of your own, in which case much
valuable time is saved
A workshop is, in my judgment, as
essential to the farm as a spring or
cistern, and am ardently in favor of
the latter. When there is work to be
done in the shop in the winter, small
stove is easily put up. Thus COM
Portable quarters are prepared for the
workmen. Oftentimes the farm har-
ness break, sometimes when the farmer
is in the midst Of a very busy season.
Now comes the chance to use the
shop; or when there is no particular
need for the broken harness, a rainy
day will come about when the farmer
may go to the shop and do his work in
the dry, having the necessary tools at
hand.
Farm implements, no difference
how strong they may be or how sub
stantially they may be constructed,
will frequently get out of order, thus
occasioning the use of blacksmith or
wood workman. Now, all such work
can be and ought to be done by the
farmers themselves, and if they would
equip themselves with the tools, ETC.,
which can be obtained for small out
lay, they could do it. Let every
farmer be his own blacksmith, wood
worker, carpenter and saw sharpener,
if you please. During rainy days on
the farm there should be work to do,
and there is. The cross-cut saw needs
sharpening, the harness require mend
ing and the axes ought to be ground,

A pair of martens had taken posses.
sion of a small box and were building
their nest in it. One day, while they
were absent, screech owl took pos.
session of the box, and when the mar.
tens came home he would not allow
them to enter.
The smaller birds were nonplussed
for a while, and in moment flew
away. ina short time, however, the
little ones returned, bringing with
them awhole army of companions, who
immediately set to work, and, pro.
curing mud, plastered up the en-.
trance to the box. Then all flew away.
In few days the farmer examined
the box and the owl was found dead.

Meat Not n Necessary Food.

Mrs. S. T. Rorer writes on "Do We
Eat Too Much Meat?" in Ladies'
Home Journal, answering her own
query aflirmatively. "Meat," she as
serts, sis not at all necessary to per-
feet existence. Most people, however,
look upon it as though it formed the
only food upon which they could work,
and yet many great athletes have
never touched it. Meat, after it en-
ters the stomach and is digested, may
be injurious, but fer all this the ordi-
nary American has made up his mind
that lean meat gives him less trouble
than any other food, SO he takes it in
large quantities, invariably breaking
down in middle with just such diseases
as comes from the over-use of concen-
trated nitrogenous foods. Children
fed on beef juice and beef soups, with
white bread, lose the various salts
necessary to the building of bones,
teeth and muscle and the soda for the
blood. The outer part of the wheat,
which is SO rich in these earthly salts,
is cast aside, so that the child in grow.
ing gets weak bone structure as a
frame for its lean flesh. The stalwart
men of Scotland find that porridge
and milk contain all the muscle, bone
and nerve food necessary for an active
existence.
San excess of carbonnaceous food,
on the other hand, forms an accumula
ton of fat, preventing the complete
nourishment of the muscles. The
over-fat person has bulk without
strength; his vital power always de-.
ficient, while the excess of nitrogen
Gus food which he consumes increases
the tendency to disease of plethoric
character, showing at once that the
surplus is burned and stored the same
as fuel food"

William Beatty, farmer near Scio-
toville, Ohio, while splitting up a
tree which he had felled on his farm,
found in the heart of the trunk a
buckskin bag containing letter, dis
colored by age. The writing had
practically faded away, only word
here and there being intelligible. The
tree was evidently $50 years old, and it
is thought that the letter had been
placed there hundred years ago,
when the "Little Scioto" trail from
the Ohio River to Chillicothe was used
by the traders, and passed close to
where the old tree stood. The hole
in which the letter had been hidden
had been completely covered by the
new growth of the tree. 1t was un-
doubtedly one Of the "postoffices" OF
the pioneers.

Preservation of Eggs.

The Berliner Markthallenzeitung
reports about experiments made for
the purpose of securing the most IA
tional method of preserving eggs.
This being topic of general interest,
beg to give hereafter an extract of
the results obtained, as described in
the said journal:
Twenty methods were selected for
these experiments. In the first days
of July 400 fresh eggs were prepared
according to these methods twenty
eggs for each method), to be opened
for use at the end of the month of
February.
OF course, most essential point
for the success of preservation is that
only really fresh eggs be employed.
AS the most infallible means of ascer-
tanning the age of the eggs the expert
mentist designated the specific weight
of same. With fresh eggs it is from
1.07S4 to 1.0942, If the eggs are put
into q solution of 100 grammes (4.23
ounces) of common salt in one Iitre
C1.0567 quarts) of water, the specific
weight of which solution is 1073, all
the eggs that swim on this liquid
weigh less, and consequently are not
fresh. Only those eggs that sink
should be used for preservation.
When, after eight months of preser-
walton, the eggs were opened for use,
the twenty different methods en-
ployed gave the most heterogeneous
results:
Q) Egss put for preservation in
salt water were all bad mot rotten,
but uneatable, the salt having pene-
trated into the eggs.
(2) Eggs wrapped in paper, eighty
per cent. bad.
(3) Eggs preserved in a solution of
salicTlic acid and glycerin, eighty per
cent. bad.
(4) Eggs rubbed with salt, seventy
per cent. bad.-From the United
States Consular Report.

More Weddings in the Country.

"It is very noticeable fact" said
Maj. Lusk, who is authority on the
question with reference to Hymen,
"that there are not as many city chaps
getting married nowadays as there are
country boys. In some instances the
country boy marries city girl, but not
very often. The city boy seldom, If
ever, marries country girl. OF course,
the city boy does not like to marry
where there is a disparity Of minds,
for, as Dickens says, those people can
never live happy What do l think is
the cause Of 1t? Why, l think the coun.
try boy is more economical with the
money he earns than the boy of the
city. He can do better on $25 month
than a boy reared in the city can with
$50. Then again, when the country boy
marries he goes on tract of land given
him by his father or bought with hard
earned money."-Jefferson City Cou-
rier.

Drew a Crowd,

Kahahawai, a young Hawaiian, was
arrested last night and held for inves-
tigation. He walked into the house Of
a Japanese and, after making himself
at home for little while, walked up
stairs and began looking about for
what he could find on the premises.
The Japanese became tired of this kind
of thing and called in the police, BIZ
cycle Patrolmen Jackson and Gardner
went to the place in Chinatown and
found the native upstairs. He waXed
very insolent and would not submit to
arrest. He caught Jackson by the
throat and tried to throttle him, but
Jackson was acquainted with that part
of the business himself and it was not
long before the native was safe in
cell in the police station. Kahahawai
was slightly under the Influence Of
liquor. He told the story that he had
been inveigled into the upper room by
the Japanese and had been held there.
He declared that job had been set up
on him. However, when he was search
ed at the police station, some fine silk
handkerchief were found on his per-
son. A crowd of some 200 Japanese
and Chinese gathered around the police
station after the arrest.

GREATEST DRY DOCK.
To Be Built at Newport News at
a Cost OF 81, 100000.

c. B. circuit, president of the New

formed Secretary Long that he intends
TO begin Immediately the construction
at Newport News of the largest dry
dock in the world, capable when com

Of the largest battleships or three
small cruisers.
The dock will be without an equal,
and for length and breadth surpass all
Of the great docks of the British Gov
eminent and others controlled by pri-
vate parties. Work on this big basin
begins al once, the site having already
been selected. In length it will exceed
900 feet or be at least, $50 feet longer
than the biggest of the transatlantic
liners. 1t will have a beam double that
of almost any battleship, and when
completed will have cost 100000. The
fact that Newport News viii be pro-
tected by the defenses Of Fort Monroe
makes the dry dock of additional value
to the United States navy. The new
craving dock at Glasgow, of a length Of
$50 feet, is the next largest in exist
ence in the world. The projected dock
improvements at Liverpool include,
however, a craving dock Of 900 feet,
the same length as the projected dry
dock in Newport News.
