but recently instituted such a service
on the Southwestern line in lower AUS
tria, where car of the ordinary dimen-
sions of an ordinary European third
class railway carriage, with 32 seats
and standing room, has taken the place
of one of the small local trains. Under

horsepower, four-cylinder motor, with
the mechanism and supplies necessary
to enable the carriage to travel indie
pendently at rate of 80 miles an hour.
Controlling levers are placed at both
ends of the carriage on platforms in

carriage to move in either direction.

double doors, as represented in the
accompanying cut. Windows can be
inserted in the ends and likewise in
the rear. Common lumber, if not
shaky or rotten, will suffice, but the
best quality of shingles obtainable
should be used for the roofing, and
pine lumber for the doors. With such
building there should be no chance
whatever of fowls or sparrows en-
tering, which are exceedingly fond
of roosting on certain kinds of farm
implements.
The floor should be at least foot
! above the surface of the ground, and
the approaches to the doors made OF
earth or gravel. The dryer the loca-
lions for the building is, of course,
the better.
1t is very important, indeed, to
have a place for every article and
then keep it in it's place. Moreover,
when any implement is put in the
building good coating of kerosene
oil should always be applied to the
bright parts of the castings and
where they are liable to be injured
by rust; it is advisable, in fact, to dc
this as often as twice year. Boiled
linseed oil should also be applied tc
the woodwork, and especially where
the paint has worn off. 1t is need
less to add, of course, that good ma
chine oil should be used literally or

that larger percentage of agricu!-

than wear out. Accordingly, money
used in erecting suitable buildings in
which to store wagons, sleighs, now

vesters, seeders, cultivators and all
other kinds of implements on the
farm is not only well spent, but
proves soon to be a paying invest
ment.
The way to do is to select site
convenient to the lanes leading to
the various fields, and always at a
proper distance from the other farm
buildings, to insure safety in case of
fire. The structure may be any size
desired, but usually, if 20 by 40 feet,
it will answer every purpose; it can

The farmer as n rule does not get
the best results from his bees. He
usually attributes his small crop OF
surplus honey to his locality, and
concludes that it does not pay to
keep bees any more. If he would

branches of farming that he gives
his bees, he would soon conclude
that no branch of farming pays. 1t.

1t matters not what good honey

bees are not in good shape to gather
honey and store it up. The first
great hindrance with the ordinary
farmer in profitable bee keeping is
the hives he usually keeps his bees in.
He is naturally slow about taking up

leaves the question of the bees to
the last. He perhaps has no. for

1ncubators ON the Farm.

On farms where it is desired to raise
a good many fowls, the incubator will
sooner or later find place. With the
demand for early layers comes the
necessity for bringing about condi-
lions that will make Matching of early
chicks possible. In the past when men
were satisfied to have the chicks come
at any time during the spring and sum-
mer, the old hen was reliable enough.
But different conditions demand differ
ent management. The old hen refuse
to sit at the time the man finds it the
most profitable. But the incubator is
ready for business at any time fyear
1t requires little study to learn to use
incubators and brooders successfully
but the experience once obtained is a
permanent capital.-Farmers Review

A sPINsTER's FUNERAL.
An Unusual Burial Ceremony in
Which Man Played No
Part

There has recently died at Vienna
an aged spinster, Fraulein Marie Irr-
gang, whose especial pride through
life was that she was a man-hater.
She was loyal to her sex antagonism
to the last and throughout her life
gave no signs of wavering. In her
will she directed that no man should
be allowed to take part in her funer
al procession.
An early disappointment in love is
believed to have been the cause of
Marie's hatred of the 'mere man."
She was member of society called
the Jungfrauen verein, an association
of old girls and young girls who had
been converted to the anti-man views
of Fraulein Irrgang. Though the
fraulein decreed that no man should
take part in her funeral procession,
she could not prevent men from look
ing on and the streets through which
the procession passed were thronged
with men she SO much detested, gaz-
ing curiously at the unique sight.
The procession was composed of an
immense throng of women of all ages
and all social conditions and of dep
uties from every woman's society in
Austria. But Marie's directions were
not carried out to the letter after all
for the banner of the Jungfrauen
verein was SO heavy that no woman
could be found who was strong
enough to carry it. So it was borne
aloft by one of the hated sex, who
marched along, the only man in the
procession.
Fraulein Irrgang, says the Detroit
Free Press, had rival in Fraulei1

maiden lady of Berlin, who wa

IMPLEMENT HOUSE.
Every Farm Should Have a building
for the Storage of Machinery
and Tools,

Diversified farming calls for a
great variety of tools and agricul-
tural implements, and as these are
used during. only a fractional part OF
the year the average farmer lays
them aside in hurry; SO much SO,
even, that he generally neglects to
oil the polished surfaces of plows,
spades, sickles and the like, and
when again he wants to use them he
finds, alas! that they will not work
well. The fact is, he may consider
himself fortunate if they are not
out of order to such an extent as to
require a great deal of repairing.
Valuable time in consequence is lost
