Do Your Own Repairing.


Too many farmers are given to hiring
repair work done which, with the aid
of a few tools and a little ingenuity,
they could do themselves at One-tenth
the cost. An old iron and bolt box
should be found in every barn. Having
these In place. never pass piece of old
Iron or a bolt, however useless 1t may
look, but pick 1t up and put 1t Into Its
box and seven times out of ten You
will find that apparently worthless
piece will answer a useful purpose.
Bolts of all sizes and descriptions, es-
pecIally u and ~ and " inch are al
ways coming handy. Every farmer
should have bench thirty inches wide
by ten to fifteen feet long. with good
wise.
Hanging conveniently over this bench
on the wall should be good rip and
crosscut saw, twelve teeth to the inch,

inch iron drill to use in brace, an assert
ment of small wire nails, one-half Inch

a pair of compasses and key-holSsaw.
These tools will of course cost con-
siderable, but If you will use them as
much as you ought they Will pay for
themselves IN six months. as you can
do alraost anything in the way of re-
pair work. An old anvil or block of
iron should be added and II you get
cheap drill press and some rainy day
build a forge, your blacksmith's bill
would indeed be light; with the above
tools and a little ingenuity almost any.
thing can be repaired. Any man who
has brains enough to successfully engl-
neer a farm should be able to use tools
and do any repair work.-orange Judd

What Frightened the Elephants.

Quiet usually relgns In the Geological
Gardens at night The animals, kept
stirred up all day by their Visitors, are
tired enough to welcome rest when the
crowd departs, aud little Is heard from
them from dusk till daybreak. The
owls boot occasionally and the night
aerons along the lake utter their harsh
cry, but that Is all. One night this
peaceful condition of affairs was
changed. The keepers on duty were
suddenly reused by terrific screams In
the elephant house, The lions and
tigers answered back, the buffaloes bel
lowed. and even the little prairie dogs
bobbed on top Of their burrows to con-
tribute to the racket with their shrill
barking. Thoroughly alarmed, the
keepers rushed to the seat of disorder
and found the three big elephant
which started the concert Juggling at
their chains and exhibiting signs Of the
most extreme horror. Nothing could bs
done to stop their trumpeting. The
keepers knew that something was
wrong, but could not hit upon It, and
so the noise kept UP for hours, When
morning came the mystery was solved,
From a dark corner of the elephant
house a little opossum trotted out
across the floor. The elephants redou-
bled their oowardly shrleks. One OF
the men caught the Intruder by the tail
and carried 1t away. and gradually the
giants of creation recovered from their
fright. 1t IL the supposition that thu
opossum, which was a wild one, enter
ed the city by way Of the park, climbed
the fence into the Zoo and found iu
