Farm Mechanics.

Every farm should have a work
shop. The building may be large or
small. 1t Is not necessary to have 1t
very expensive. The tools may be few
or many, but what there are should be
good. No man can do good work with
poor tools, and good tools cost but lit
tie more than poor ones. A building
10 by IL feet will answer for black
smith shop with small wise bench in
one corner. If this is fitted with a
good chimney, forge, anvil, hammer,
tongs and good steel wise, considerable
blacksmithing work can be done to ad-
vantage.
There should be small stove to
make the shop comfortable in winter.
This Is very important, because there
is more time to work In a shop in the
winter, and you can't work with black
smiths tools in frosty atmosphere.
Carpenters work is different. A
carpenters bench may be placed
against the side of the building and
covered with a shed roof for, II neces-
sary, carpenter work may be done out
side if you have covered place for the
bench and tools.
A much better arrangement is to
have blacksmith shop In one end of
larger building and carpenter shop
in the other end, with a partition be-
tween. There should be no shavings
lying about blacksmith shop; there
Is too much danger from fire. For an
other reason, the two kinds OF work
do not jibe well together. 1t is com
paratively easy to keep blacksmith
shop in order, but there is a great deal

and new, they have more or less thor

round, every event of Importance that
has occurred on the face of the earth
during their entire lives; and echoes
of the past and portents of the future
have not been lacking.
Here they have forged their beliefs,
and here they have nerved themselves
to action. No wonder l have envied
them Nothing like it ever came into
the life of any woman since the world
began.
1t couldn't you know; there has not
been time Things at home had to
be looked after even if the menfolk
did become-patriots and heroes.
The babies had to be born and rear
ed and fed the food had to be pre-
pared. the dishes washed. the clothes
made and mended, the house looked
after, and all the other odd jobs done
that nobody wanted to do. This, you
will admit has taken time, lots OF
