Care for Your implements.

All the farm machinery and tools
should be housed now. The earth
adhering to plows and harrows
should be removed, and the surfaces
moistened with crude coal oil or axle
grease, and during the winter
months the farm implements should
be overhauled, missing bolts and
screws replaced, nuts frightened, worn
parts replaced and cutting surfaces
sharpened.
One season without shelter will
damage farm machinery more than
the wear caused by its use during
the season. The action of the wealth
er, which causes rusting of the iron
and steel, rs we'll as the rotting of
the wood parts, will seriously inter-
fere with the working of the ma
chine when it is again put to use.
By exposure, many parts are very
much weakened, and the life of the
machine is shortened.
AS general rule, the prosperity
Of a farmer may be estimated by the
way he cares for his machinery.
Poor care indicates shiftlessness,
waste, lack Of energy, and the neces-
sity for buying more implements in
a short time. Good care, on the
other hand, indicates prosperity,
business ability, large bank deposits,

Sympathy.

A kind hearted little slum girl on a
visit to the country saw one evening
a mother hen about to gather her
brood of chicks under her wings.
The little girl rushed up to the hen
and shouted:
"Shoo, you ugly thing! How dare
you sit down on these beautiful little
hirds?"

When The Democratic Party Will Die.


The enemies of the Democratic
party have preached its funeral
many times during its long life since
Jefferson and other opponents OF
centralized government and special
privilege organized it in 1876. 1t
controlled the government for the
twenty-four years following 1900
and most Of the time until the War
Between the States. Since then it
has won only two complete national
victories, but it has as a minority
party by it's fight for principles
forced nearly every important
measure Of reform that has been
put on the statute books or has been
carried out by the executive. In
England the Liberal party has not
been in power as much as the Tory
or Conservative party, but it is the
Liberals who have originated and
gessed reforms. The Conservatives
have fought them as long as they
could and then, in order to hold the
Offices, have bent to the storm and
"sayed their bacon" by adopting
them in modified form. The Dem
ocratic party is the Liberal party in
America and it has been the party
that has originated and pressed
measures of reform. Of some of
them the Republicans have publicly
expressed approval and those that
touched no special interest have
been adopted. The Democratic party
has therefore, out of Office, done
more for the people by agitat-
ing and compelling the Republicans
to, at least, publicly abandon the
policy of standing pat" even il they
have often given the word of prom
Use to the ear and broken it to the
hope. 1t is not necessary therefore,
for the Democratic party to win to
be a powerful factor for good. 1t is
the only party that lives and is use
ful though not in office. Every other
party has gone out of existence
shortly after several defeats. A de-
feat does not depress Democrats be-
cause the question Of the number of
ballots cast in a given election does
not determine the righteousness of
principles. Success would mean bet
ter things for the masses, fairer
chance, an end of favoritism, and for
government by the people and for
them but failure to win an election
serves only as stimulus to Demo-
Gratis to work harder to impress their
principles upon the minds of the
people.
Republicans, who know their party
has but seven principles-two loaves
and five small fishes-and would die
if long kept out Of office, have again
begun to preach the funeral of the
Democratic party, taking good care
however, to stand at the head of the
corpse, for past experience has
taught them that about the time
they thought the old Democratic
party was safely buried it suddenly
rose from the dead and kicked the
party officiating at the funeral. Fol

REPUBLICANS FIGHT

blows were exchanged that landed with

while the TWO factions tried to hold sen

Revolutionary leaders were prompt 10

eral provinces are on the verge OF re-
volt, not TO mention those where re-

An especially alarming feature OF the
situation is the number OF rich and
prominent Chinese who are enlisted In
the revolutionary movement. Numbers
OF these have fed from their homes to
districts, where the government is al
