Things to Avoid on the Farm.

Tn1nRS 10 ASOlu Oh the aEh.
There are good many foolish. things
in this world, and these few of them {:
To winter calves around straw stack
and in the spring find fault with their
pot bellies and curved backs /; to yell
at the cow ss though she were deaf
and emphasize it with whack from
the milking stool; to trade stale but
ter for groceries brought home in a
lug and which are usually denomi-
mated wet groceries to keep scrubs
and despise pedigree to drive COWS
with dog and plant potatoes in the
dark of the moon when it is known
that the bug is no respector of the sea-
sons to go to a fair and spend the
greater portion of the time in the side
shows to let the hens roost on machin-
ery for which note hasbeen given
to put off fixing the ditch until irriga-
ting seasons come on to let grass get
dead ripe before making into hay; to
sit down and say, 81 have no luck y
to say that you have forgotten more
about farming than the papers ever

GANG NEEDLE MACHINES.

One of the Many Varieties of Sewing
 Machines Made Nowadays.
 It is a more or less familiar fact that sewing machines are used nowadays for sewing many different materials, as leather, paper canvas, carpets, rub Der They are used for making but tonholes and sewing on buttons. They are made of many types and in simply hundreds of varieties for special uses. But 1t may not be known so common ly that there are many sewing ma chimes now made with more than one needle. The first of these. a two needle machine was made in the early eighties. about fifteen years ago It was used by manufacturers of heavy clothing, perhaps first of all by the overall manufacturers, making seams stronger by putting in two rows of stitching. The utility and economy of the tWo-needle machine soon became apparent and 1t came into widespread and diversified use. Whenever two rows of stitching were to be made, a tWe-needle machine was used. A fa- m1iiar illustration of the work is seen in the two parallel lines of stitching running with perfect exactness around the top of q shoe vamp. Shirt sleeves are stitched into the body of the shirt on a double needle machine, the two rows being made in the same time that 1t would take to make one. Collars and cuffs were stitched on two-needle machines, as were great variety of these things, and later there were pro- dueed machines with more than two needles, the first of these coming into use within five or six years. There are now made sewing machines with as many as twelve needles. twelve needle sewing machine simply has twelve needles where the ordinary sewing machine would have one. In. stead of single spool of thread on the top of the machine there appears there rack of twelve spools. There are twelve tension disks. The thread from each spool runs through it's own ten. sion disk to its own needle. There are below twelve shuttles, one for each needle. When this machine is oper- ated, il makes twelve rows of stitch 'ng, just as an ordinary machine would make one. The twelve-needle machines are used chiefly in the manufacture Of corsets.

Arizona Girls Bravo Hattie with a Brute
 That Attacked Her.
 George ! Manassa of this city. who has been spending tue past two months 1t kingman. Ariz., tells an interest iag story of q case of heroism in young girl that came under his obser- yation, says tae kansas City Journal. He said Chat ono day while there q fanehman. J. A. Garrow, brought into the town for medical treatment his son Murray, 6 years old. aud Ajs daughter. IF years old, who were frightfully la cerated by the teeth and claws of some animal, and the rough usage showed upon the boy in wounds upon the arms. hands and the breast and shoul- ders. Upon inquiry he learned that Mr. Garrow was a wealthy ranch owner living about twenty-five miles north of the place and that the two children had been lacerated by lynx that had attacked the boy and had been strangled to death by the girl. The boy,' MT. Manassa said, was playing in a swing in an almond or chard near the house, when fero- eious lynx sprang upon him and pulled him to the ground. A life and death struggle then took place between the little fellow and the animal Taking the lynx by the ear and one leg he succeeded in throwing it to the ground and holding it there, screaming for help. The lynx was biting his hand in a horrible manner, but with Spartan courage he held on until his sister. came. The animal had got the bet ter of the boy when the girl, with only her naked hands as weapons gave battle. She struggled with the in- furiated brute and, although he clawed and bit her, she never released her hold until she had 1t pinioned to the ground by her knee and death grip on it's throat.
