The wageworker. (Lincoln, Neb.) 1904-????, 1904-12-16

There was no answer and the Young
clergyman floundered around for sew
eral minutes without observing any
sign of scuffle. Suddenly he heard
a voice and, guided by the sound,
soon came upon Dora Haines kneeling
beside the PROSTATE form of a man.
Dora appeared not to notice Faxon
who, as soon as his eyes fell upon his
rivals face against the girls heart,
cried out:

Less than half an hour had elapsed
since Faxon, on his way afoot from
his school to dine with Haines and his
daughter, had heard high words from
a clump of trees near the creek by the
roadside-words, followed by the re-
port of a gun. He had distinguished
the voices but, being of a timid ma

the farm house, not pausing to in

strange occurrence.

How to Build a Land Roller.

A roller is almost indispensable for
some kinds Of farm work, and a good
one may be made by covering mower
wheels with 2 by as, as shown in the
illustration. The roller can be made
any desired length, but seven feet is
very good size. Cut the projections
from the surface Of the wheels with a
heavy hammer and cold chisel. This is
not as great a task as one would
think. Have your blacksmith drill the
holes if you have no drill, one every
four inches on alternate edges Of the
wheel. The holes and bolts should be
half an inch in diameter.
It is best to have boxes bolted under
the frame for the journal and set
screws in the hubs. Make the frame
of by inch stuff. Cut lemons in the
end pieces to fit the mortise IN front
and back and cut mortises IN the end

HOW TENPlNS ARE MADE,
Every Bowling Pin Goes Through Five

Every Bowling Pin Goes Through Five
Processes Before Finished.
Few Of the large army Of bowlers
throughout the country realize the
amount of work necessary to turn out
the pins that they are constantly
knocking down. All Of the frst-class
tenpins are manufactured from rock
maple. 1t is sometimes nine months
or a year before the wood has been
seasoned enough to be put in the turn
ing plane and converted into pins, says
the New York Mail
Every pin that Is made must go
through five processes before 1t Is fin
ished, the most modern machinery be-
ing used. The first cut from the log
weighs eighty pounds and is called
green stock" This log Is cut into
four quarters and is allowed a reason
able time for air drying and open-air
seasoning. It is then put on the rough
ing machine, which roughly models
bowling pins. The wood is put aside
after this process for two days and
is placed in the first drying kiln. From
the first kiln the wood Is put into the
second Of little higher temperature,
then into the third, which has a still
higher temperature, and so on through
similar drying processes for about six
weeks time.
After tae drying treatment is COM
pleted the pin Is about one inch short
er and weighs about eight pounds,
reduction Of about twelve pounds from
the original block. The weight Of the
block is further reduced after 1t has
been conferred and made ready for the
finishing lathe. The next step is to
fill the pores with a wood filler and
sandpaper it down and polish it.
Most Of the rock maple obtained for
the manufacture Of tenpins comes from
the Catskill and Adirondack noun
tains The western manufacturers get
their wood from the forests in north
ern Michigan. According to the sta
tistics compiled by George Klumpp
there were about 100000 tenpins in
use this season.

Provide Against Drought.

With possibility of short pasture
him in the face each year,
the farmer with much or little stock
who does not provide against the
drought SO far as he can, makes a
serious mistake. Probably the better
way to do this is In combination with
the plan which provides for early for
age plants. This can be done another
year by sowing rye in the late sum-
mer, sowing SUGGESTIONS, which give
one green forage for early summer
carrying one, with the pasture, nearly
@or quite to the time when the forage
corn may be fed.
Most Of the experiment stations who
have tried it agree with farmers that
Thoroughbred White Flint corn is one
of the best If not the best variety
for this purpose, especially If it is
put in as early as possible. If SOW
ing is delayed until late, then we be-
lieve that sweet corn, sown broadcast,
will give a crop for early fall feeding
better than any other. Among the
various suggestions given here, one or
more are suited to almost every farm.

D1shcloths are quickly made fresh
and sweet by boiling In clean water
with good lump Of soda added.
Always put the sugar used in a
tart in the center of the fruit, not a.
the top, as this makes the paste sod

When peeling onions, begin at the
root end and peel upward, and the
onions will scarcely effect your eyes
at all.
When mailing into hardwood, the
nails are apt to bend To prevent
this, dip the point Of each nail into
oil, lard or other grease before ham

LAYING Tile in Muck lands.

Muck lands when thoroughly drain
ed frequently make veritable garden
spots. But unless the tile lines are
laid with sufficient fall, preferably in
to the clay subsoil, and carefully COW
cred the soft muck is liable to soon
clog them. We have found that a
little extra care in attending to these
points will pay exceedingly we'll and
prolong the period of usefulness of the
drains for years. The life of a drain
carelessly laid in muck is very short.
It is often advisable to put boards

Poultry PickiuDa.

Poultry Pickings.
AS a rule, old hens make the best
mothers.
Lice will gather in the nests, if any
where.
Chickens can be made to grow faster
by feeding often.
Treatment Of diseases should begin
with the first symptoms.
Sour milk and buttermilk are both
good to mix with soft food.
Mix powdered charcoal and sulphur
occasionally with the soft feed.
Coal oil applied to the roosts in
small quantities will kill parasites.
The flesh of birds differs in quality
according to the food on which they
they feed.
Too constant setting makes the hens
Of bad disposition and difficult to man
age.
The poultry quarters should be thor
oughly whitewashed inside and out fire.
quently.
Furnish as great variety of diet
as possible and feed as much as the
fowls will eat.
DO not hatch bantams until late in
the summer if you would have them
beautiful and diminutive.
Little chicks have no teeth and must
have sand, crushed bone, shell and
charcoal in some form.
Lousy hens are the cause Of much
debility, sickness and death among the
young broods they hatch out.
The laying of soft-shelled eggs some
times results from overlooking and
sometimes from lack of shell material
One Of the great secrets in poultry
raising Is to get good laying strains
and keep them in good health and
condition.
If chickens are allowed on the
roosts too young, their breasts often
get crooked, and their growth and an
pearance spoiled.
Much of the disease to which fowls
are afflicted may be traced for it's
origin to a neglect in not providing
good ventilation.

lime in the form of whitewash used
as paint will materially improve the

the barn is small coat Of paint is
preferable to the whitewash. If you

during the summer is exceedingly at
