tiny, pleated frills, admirably suited to

Keep the Farm Tools Clean

In no other way can good. thorough
work be done so quickly and easily as
with tools Kept in nice working order.
And after you are through with them,
store them away in a dry place Have
a place for every tool, and put it in its
place. When you lay them away coat
all steel parts with oil mixed with
white lead or lard and kerosene; the
latter to prevent the rats from eating
Off the grease. Then in the spring,

TAKE CARE OF YOUR ROPE
Use Plenty Of Soap Where There Is

Discussing the subject OF how to pre-
vent a hay rope from twisting, Mr..
George Benbow in a recent issue of
Wallace's Farmer says:
What you want to do is to compel
the hemp fiber TO conform itself to the
new position in the rope. The hemp.

Stocked Up On PRAYERS.

One little girl that l know of is so
sleepy when she starts for bed that it is
occasionally hard work for her to make

prayer. A few nights ago she dropped
her head upon the pillows earlier than
usual. She wasn't very sleepy and at
once began to dash off a prayer In re-
freshing style. The first prayer over.
along came another one and still third.
About this time her mother, surprised

Many farmers wait several years

be painted one coat every two or three
years. This done, not only will the

Cupid and

By VARAH A. ARMSTRONG

IELLO, Crosby! l suppose you're
in town for the cowboy festiv-
tiles? What's it all about, anyway? 2"
We'll, you see, Mir. Vinton, some of
the boys get hurt every year. It's pretty
hard on the fellows who haven't any
friends, especially if they don't happen
to have much coming; so we thought If
we'd give an exhibition of Craftsmanship
tomorrow and get crowd together,
then in the evening we'd have big blow
out at Thomson's hall and use the pro-
ceeds to establish a cowboy bed at the
hospital"
Good idea. By-the-way, Crosby, my
wife has been east after her spring stock
OF millinery and she brought home a
niece to spend the summer. She's a
pretty girl with yellow head full of
romantic notions. She has been reading
some cowboy literature and thinks, now
that she is in the west, she will have
some hair-raising experiences, and l
wouldn't have her disappointed for all
the outlaw horses that you fellows will
ride tomorrow.
Cant you fix up some scheme, Cros-
by? she will be down at the store in the
morning. trying to get a glimpse OF the
cowboys, through the windows"
Now. Mildred. II you'll help me I'M
