THE FARM WORKSHOP.
A Valuable Adjunct to the Work Of
the Farm.

The first consideration should be
the bu,ldin~. This may be some shed
or outbuilding already standing on the
farm, or lean.to may be built to the
barn, smokehouse or buggy house, for
a few dollars. In case II should be
necessary all the tools except the
forge could be kept in the barn, and
this could he covered with a few
boards far enough from the barn to
insure safety from Ere.
II new building is to be construct
ed or an. old one remodeled, ! should
cay a room 12x1l feet with dirt or
cement floor. double doors in one end
a window of two sashes placed hori-
zontally In one side, and regular per
pendicular window in the opposite
side. would constitute a convenient
and wel.lighted workshop, writes a
farmer in Orange Judd Farmer. This
will prove every way ample. A work
bench 2Xl0 feet made of 2X12 inch
lumber for the top and 1Xl2 front
board with 2XG legs, should be set
under the horizontal window. The
bench should be equipped with good
steel.jawed wise. attached near one
end. 4 bench drill should be screwed
on near the other end.
| like to have drawers and shelves
under a part of the bench, TO the
right when facing it. Four drawers
rs inches wide and six inches deep,
one above the other, and set of
shelves two feet deep and foot apart
next to the drawers, would make safe
and convenient rcceptacles for tools
and material. Some of the drawers
should be divided into compartments
to accommodate small tools, bolts,
screws. etc. The shelves could be
used for rods, heavy bolts and scraps.
| Convenient receptacles for chisels are
| leather loops tackled to the wall above
| the bench. The saw, square, draw
shave, etc, may be hung on nails.
II only a few tools can be procured

the cost up to about $40. This coulC

Dairy Barns Need improving.

The dairy barns In some localities
are not geenrally of first class con.
struction, and many of them could
be improved. In some OF the barns
more windows are being placed. but
these are not so numerous as they
should be. AS yet cement is little
used in the construction Of dairy
stables. The old barns that are be-
ing repaired are not being remodeled
according to modern ideas. The most
objectionable feature in the barns
in many localities are lack q light.
lack Of modern stancbions and lack
of cleanliness.

Grain Farming and Fertility

Soil fertility Is being taken from the
farms three times as FAST by grain
farming as by stock farming. This
is an argument against grain farming
but 1t is not strong argument. Even
grain farming can be carried on that

WILL MEET AT SEATTLE.
Christian Endeavorers' Convention
1907, Goes to Coast CITY.

y dispatch from New York today saws
that the trustees of the United Society of
Christian Endeavor chose Seattle, Wash,
as the place for holding the International
Christian Endeavor convention in 1907
The conventions in recent years have been
held biennially There will be a gathering
of Endeavorers at Geneva, Switzerland
this summer, and societies all over the
world have been invited to send delegates;
but this Is really a European convention,
and is not held under the direct auspices
of the United Society officials, whose head
quarters are in Boston.
At the Baltimore. convention last July
the. largest ever held, possibly, barring that
held in this city in 1896 there was strong
rivalry between delegations from various
cities of the middle and far western states
for the honor of having the next. conyen-
ton. Kansas City was one of the most in
sistent in bringing Its wishes before the
convention. Los Angeles and Seattle were
also in the race. 1t developed however
that 1t was the wish of the majority of the
trustees that the next convention go to
there since 1897. all having been held in
the east. For this reason Kansas City was
dropped from consideration
1t Is understood that many Endeavorers
favored Los Angeles because of the beauty
OF the scenery and the fine climate. 1t was
also urged by the promoters of this city
that Seattle was not equipped to handle the
immense crowds and house the giant meet
ings of the convention. General Secretary
Won Ogden Vogt recently visited Seattle
however, and doubtless he became con-
WINGED that these statements were not well
founded, as ii is generally believed that his
report influenced the trustees to cons.d-
cradle extent in selecting Seattle.
Washington is represented on the board
OF trustees by Rev. DR.. Frederick d. Power
pastor OF the Vermont Avenue Christian
Church, who, 1t Is understood. had no par
ticular preference in the matter, though
believing that Ii was the turn of the Pa
cific coast to have the next international
convention. The plan has been to hold
the gatherings from year to year over as
large a territory possible.
The membership of the organization on
the Pacific coast is very large, and the
convention will be insured OF an enormous
attendance from nearby states alone. That
thousands from the far east will also go Is
made probable from the fact that in 1897
over twenty thousand Endeavorers crossed
the Rocky mountains to attend the San
Francisco convention.
At that time this city sent a gcodiy DEL
egation.

THE CARPENTERS SQUARE.
History of Its Invention and Manu.
facture.


Carpenters who use the common
steel square, a very necessary ad-
junct to their trade, perhaps give lit
tie thought to how, when and where
this article was first produced. While
there are millions of squares manu-
factured and used annually, all over
the world, when the nineteenth CEN
tury was born there was not one in ex-
istence.
One dull, rainy day, Siler Howes, a
poor Vermont blacksmith, who lived in
South SALISBURY, was called upon by
peddler of tinware to shoe a horse
These peddlers travelled up and down
the country calling at every farm
house, buying everything in the way of
barter. This one had a number Of
worn out steel saws that he had picked
up at various places. Howes bargain
ed for them, shoeing the peddler's
horse and receiving the saws in pay
ment, and each thought he had an ex-
cellent trade.
The blacksmith's idea was to polish
and weld two saws together, at right
angles thus making a rule or measure
superior to anything then in use. After
few attempts he succeeded in making
a square, marked it off into inches and
fractions of inches and found that it
answered every purpose that he in
tended it for.
In the course of few weeks during
his spare hours he made a number of
these, squares, which he sent out By
peddlers, who found every carpenter
anxious to buy one. Soon he had or
ders coming in faster than he could
supply the demand. One of his steel
squares" would sell for S5. or Sc.
which was five times as much as it
cost him.
He applied for and obtained a patent
on his invention so that no one else
could deprive him of the profit it gave
him. 1t was just after the war of 1872,
and money was scarce and difficult to
get. But he worked early and late,
and as he earned money he bought
iron, and hired men to help him. In
a few years he was able to erect a
large factory and put in machinery for
the making of squares, which by this
time had found their way all over the
country and had made their inventor
famous.
Such was the small beginning OF q

mirer of Consul General Skinner, by

The experiments which the Bureau
of animal industry will soon conduct
with the aid of this zebra may stand
forth as among the most important OF
modern times. Certain English inves-
tigators along with Baron Parana,
a Brazilian planter, have already de-
monstrated that the hybrid offspring

herits from the latter parent immunity

larly fatal to horses, asses, and mules,
and that they furthermore are valuable
as pack and artillery animals.
