FOR FARM EQUIPMENT.

Cheap and Efficient Helps For Coun-
try Life.
The successful management of
modern farm depends largely upon the
efficiency Of the equipment with which
the work is performed. In addition to
the outfit of tools obtainable from a
hardware dealer there are a number
of special devices that may be made
on the farm and that will prove of
great assistance in general repair
work A workbench Of some kind will
probably be the first essential. For the
construction of a workbench like that
shown in the first cut there will be
needed four boards seven-eighths inch
thick, twelve to fourteen inches wide
and about twelve feet in length. The
length of the bench, however, will de-
pend upon the size of the shop or other
space that may be available for use as

Mash Ems For Market.

1t would in a sense be better to
wash eggs sent to market than to
send them in a dirty condition. But
washed eggs have no keeping quail
ties. The water appears to dissolve
the gelatinous substance which seals
the pores of the shell, and air is thus
admitted and soon starts decompos1-
ton. The better way to treat dirty
eggs is to take a wooden rag only
slightly moistened with water and
gently rub off the dirt.

An industry which the farmer might
take up with profit is nut growing.
Improved nut trees begin bearing at
about six or eight years, bearing the
same as apple or pear trees. Large
trees when grated begin to bear about
the third or fourth year, and large
trees that are budded will bear sooner
than small ones, but the small ones
bear longest. English walnuts can
now be grown in the central states.

called forth much praise not only
from the members of the cast but
from many others.

NJ c. Boals has just completed a
4-inch pipe line from the Price ditch
to his home west of town The OBJ
ject is to supply his home. -irrigate
his lawn and trees near the road
and incidentally supply the street
sprinkler. The water for his home
will be run into the cistern and then
forced into tank at the top of the
house. II will require about 800
feet of pipe all told and the cost will
be about $3.50. Mr.. Boals' neighbors
are watching the work with consider
able interest, as they believe the pipe
will not only solve many difficulties
in the domestic supply of water for
ranchmen, but will enable him to give
a more even distribution in irrigating

Crowded to the doors last night
= was the Park opera house when the
members of the graduating class of
the high school presented their first
performance of the class play, George
Ade's refreshing and breezy comedy,
''The College Widow" There is no
question but what the production was
, one of the best class plays ever pre-

! II was delightful, 1t was a credit to
every member of the cast. There
was no tiresome moments. no long

was far above the average amateur

gentlemen who took the roles. Not
only was the performance a credit to
the young people but to Miss Lindley

people and directed the rehearsals.
Miss Rowena Wheeler took the
star role, that of the widow, and this
handsome young lady completely

IL is sufficient to state that not one
of the important and leading char

satisfactory protrayal and not one of
the less prominent characters failed
to receive a good Interpretation.
The young people all worked sin
