WORK IN THE TOOL SHED.
Where a Good Many of the Winter
Days Can Be Probably Spent.

One of the many profitable winter
Jobs can be found in the tool shed in
going over, cleaning up and repairing
the machinery that will be used next
summer. After a seasons work there
S nearly always something about a
mower, binder or cultivator which
needs fixing. When one wants to use
a tool he seldom has time to fix it,
and if it must be repaired the work is
usually done as quickly as possible
with an eye only to the work immedi-
ately at hand.
Flows may now be cleaned on and
oiled, hoes and mattocks sharpened,
scythes ground, etc. Then there are
always bolts to tighten, fractures and
breaks to patch up, and adjustments
Of various kinds to make. II any
machine needs repairs that must be
ordered from a distance this should be
done during the winter and the ma
chine made ready for use. If this is
neglected now, remarks Farm and
home, you may forget all about 1t un-
till you want to use it, and then you
will be in a hole.
A few hours work at odd times will
have all the tools ready for use when
the time comes, if they are stored in a
shed or room where you can get at
them and the rain and snow cannot
II they are left, as many tools are
out in the weather, they will be in
bad shape when you go to use them
So If you have no tool shed it would
be a good winter job to build one.

Real Moroccans.

Moor and Morocco are words un.
known to the, people of that troubled
land. These people know themselves
as Arabs and descendants Of those
valiant upholders of the prophets
green standard who swept like a food
across North Africa at the time Of
the hegira. The Morocco Of the pres.
ent day they found possessed by \
sturdy race who claimed descent from
the people who were cast out Of Ca
naaan by Joshua, the son Of Nun.
Their country, so far as its plains
were concerned, was taken from them
by the Arabs, and their fighting
strength was made to serve the Arab
cause in the conquest Of Spain. They
themselves gradually took to the
mountains, to the great Atlas. Here
they have remained ever since, speak
ing their own language, maintaining
their own customs and racial attri-
butes, and obstinately refusing to be
absorbed by the Arab dwellers on the
plains. These people are the Berbers;
their tongue Is called Shilhah. Liter
AZURE they have none, in the ordinary
sense of the word. But they have a
rich store Of oral tradition, myth, le
gend and folklore.

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory if the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, it is usually neces-
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fineness Of the fabric is
hidden behind a paste Of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality of the goods. This trouble
can be entirely overcome by using De-
fiance Starch, as it can be applied
much more thinly because of its great
or strength than other makes.

lnviaorate the piaestIon.

To invigorate the digestion and
stimulate the torpid liver and bowels
there is nothing so good as that old
family remedy, Brandreth Pills, which
has been in use for over a century.
They cleanse the blood and impart new
vigor to the body. One or two every
night for a week will usually be all
that is required. For Constipation or
Dyspepsia, n or two taken every
night will afford great relief.
Brandreth's Pills are the same fine
laxative tonic pill your grandparents
used and being purely vegetable are
adapted to every system.

DRAINING LANDS.
Much Rich Land Goes to Waste Be.
cause This Work Is Not Done.

Many undrained and Improbable
lands can be drained well, or at least
considerably improved, should you
only spend a days work in scraping
out bitches, with an ordinary two
horse scraper. Some of the bitches
need not necessarily be wide nor
deep.
1t has been estimated that from
n to thirty per cent of certain Sec
tons of good farming lands in some
sections of the Northwest need drain
ing. Some of this undrained land is
reasonably productive in growing
slough grass, which in many cases
serves as feed for cattle in the win
ter, but a large fraction of these
lands lie idle and are hotbeds for the
propagation of weeds and undesirable
Insects.
The soil in sloughs and small
swamps is usually fertile and rich
in plant food, due largely to the de-
cay of plant life, which has been &C.
cumulating there year after year. 1t
is this land that should be brought
into condition for the growing Of
crops. 1t will support plant growth
better than the adjoining higher lands
whose fertility has been considerably
depleted by constant cropping. When
drained well these lands make ad-
mirable fields for grasses, such as
timothy and millet grass, also fod-
der corn. There is no work of this
kind done if done at proper time and
place but what will easily pay for the
expense in the raising of the first
few crops from lands.-J. F. Volta,
professor of agriculture, Gustavous
A%dolphus College.

Revolving Clothes Rack.

Three, four or five arms may be used
as desired and of any length, provided
all are of one length. No skill is re-
quired in making it, says Farm and
Home, as the rope holds the arms
up simply by being tight enough. 1t
is well to set the post before measur-
ing the arms, SO that they may be
sure to reach the veranda. Some
laths may be nailed together at first
to make a model if you are not sure
of your ability as a carpenter.

PETS FOR LITTLE PARlsIANs.
All Kinds Of Animals az Playmatos for
the Children.

Children play a great role in French
society, as all those who have read
Gyp's inimitable "P'tit Bob" will read
lily admit, and now the small Par
isienne insists on receiving on her
fete day and at the New Year a live
pet, instead of a costly doll or a me-
chanical toy. The demand has been
creating a supply, and q lively trade
is being done, not only IN puppies and
kittens, in tiny monkeys and in lambs,
but also in tigers and leopards. Up to
a certain age, these small felines are
quite harmless, and, of course, as soon
as they begin, SO to speak, to show
their teeth and sharpen their claws,
they are sent off to one of the two
magnificent Zoos" with which the
Gay City is provided.

THERE are a host of petty ailments
i which are the direct result of the
weather.
This is more true of the excessive
heat of summer and the intense cold
of winter, but is partly true Of all
seasons of the year.
Whether it be a cold or a cough,
catarrh of the head or bowl complaint,
whether the liver be affected or the
kidneys, the cause is very liable to
be the same.
The weather slightly deranges the
mucou membranes of the organs and
the result is some functional disease.

thousands of homes for minor aHs

General debility is caused by men,
tai or physical overwork with imper-
feet assimilation of nourisnment, or
by some acute disease from which
the vital forces have been Frustrated
and the entire organism weakened so
as not to easily rally. To restore
health it is necessary that the blood
should be purified and made new.
The case of Mrs. E. M. Spears, of
92 Mt. Pleasant street, Athol, Mass,
is a common. one and is given here in
order that others may be benefited by
her experience. She says: Il had been
sick for a year from indigestion and
general debility brought on by over
work and worry. l mad tried many
remedies, but found no relief. I suf-

DROPPING Boards.

When dropping boards are used
they should be as low as possible to
permit Of easy cleansing. In some
cases they run down to the floor, in
which case it is possible to have the
roosts low. w. R. Grahams says:
Dropping boards should be made of
matched lumber, and should be 20
inches wide for n roost, and three
feet for two roosts, the first Being

Revolt AGAINST TRADING stamps.

"No more trading stamps" Is the
slogan of a campaign which English
grocerymen are carrying on. One OF
them, whose shop is in East London,
says: There is not a small grocer In
England who earns Is per cent on his
capital. Ten per cent is average profit
and the cost Of trading stamps leaves
him only about 81 per cent.

Of plank through which a bolt passes

bored to let the bolt pass through it.
