A YOUNG INVENTOR.
Twelve-Year-Old villa Shuitz, an In
diana Boy, Displays Great
Mechanical Skill.

Villa Shultz, ~ years old, is believed
to be the youngest practical inventor
in the world. He has invented numer-
Gus devices, the most important being
the steam engine shown in the accom-
panying picture. The engine is large
enough to be used for practical pur-
poses, and is utilized by the young in
ventor in many ways, different ma
chines-all the handiwork of the boy
being operated by it.
That one so young should have de-
vised and constructed this engine is
remarkable, but the fact that he had
no effective tools and no material of
any kind except odds and ends picked
up about the barnyard, and no sugges-
lions or advice from older or expert
enced persons, makes his achievement
seem almost marvellous. Experienced
inventors and mechanics are amazed
at his handiwork, and say that but few
skilled mechanics. if given only the
tools ard materials possessed by the
boy, could have egualed his produc-
ton, and no inventor but one OF the
first class could have conceived it.
While the engine is made of the
toughest and crudest materials, it is
so delicately fitted and balanced that
it is noseless and very rapid in move
ment. No packing is used about the

Desperate Fight with Rats.

During food on the marshes near
6ittingbourne, England, a man was
overtaken by the rush of water, and for
safety sought refuge in tree. He had
not been there long before he was hor-
rified to find a number of rats swim
ming toward him. The rats were fero-
cious and excited by being driven from
their haunts, and they made for the
tree with VI NV of seeking the same
shelter which the man enjoyed. Not
caring to come to close quarters with
the rats, the man took off one of his
heavily-nailed boots and with II he pre-
pared TO give battle. As fast as the re- is
came to the tree they were beaten back
into the water, and so the fight cou-
tipued until the creatures were either
killed outright or compelled to seek a
resting place elsewhere. The victor
then put on his boot and when the wa
tiers had subsidized he dropped from his
perch nd made his way home.

Does Farming Pay.

Briefly: Farming pays handsomely
If you make it. Well directed effort,
judicious rotation of crops and proper
marketing of products are the points
to which attention must be paid. No
business will pay unless conducted up
on correct principles. But it depends
largely upon the farmer. If he is
made of the right kind of stuff and has
a level head, he will make farming
pay. The twentieth century farmer
should be unlike those who have
pegged away on the same plans since
Columbus discovered America. He
should be properly balanced as to
braiS and muscle, and should use the
former fully as much as the latter

AS the season comes to round
up" it is well to see to it that every
thing is ship shape for winter. 1t is
fair to suppose that the corn is now

crop either in the cellar or off our
hands in the market, and all small
crops secured. In few dayC Snow

unpleasant feelings will be the lot OF

Every year as the observing farmer
rides through the country, he can not
help noticing what difference there
is in men about taking care of tools.
Some men house their plows, harrows,
cultivators and other farm imple-
ments in the fence corner. When
needed next spring they will be handy
to find; but | never could make my
self believe that this was either econo.

steel. Wind, frost, snow and rain
surely rot wood. These all working
together shorten the life of tools fifty
per cent. or more.
