7. H. PENDERGAST IS
BACK FROM HUTCHINSON
Mr.. Pendergast Visited at Old Home
and Enjoyed Meeting With For
mer Acquaintance.

T. H. Pendergast arrived home
Saturday evening from a month:
visit with relatives at his former
home in Hutchinson, MINI.
There are many "reminiscences
connected with his trip which are oil
more than usual interest. Mr.. Pen.
dergast located at Hutchinson on
April 20, 1856, and on this trip he
failed to meet person who was a
resident of Hutchinson at the time
he located there. Mr.. Pendergast
stated that there is not a building
or even a single of building left
in that city which was there at the
time he located in Hutchinson.
Further conversation with Mr..
Pendergast drew from him the fact
that within the county of Mcleod
there is but one resident living there
today who settled there at the time
he did, and that one is Capt. A.
H. Reed of Glencoe.
Captain Reed and Mr.. Pendergast
enlisted in Company *" Second
Minnesota, and served together for
four years during the civil war.
Nh. Pendergast was slightly wounded
in the shoulder at the battle of
Mission Ridge and in this engage
ment Captain Reed lost his arm.
In speaking of the heroism dis
played by the young captain, Mr..
Pendergast stated of Captain Reed,
that just twenty-eight hours after
the wounding and amputation of
his right arm, the captain sat up in
bed and wrote (for the first time
with his left HANDY a letter to his
folks at home telling of the accident
which had befallen him.
Mr.. Pendergast reports that he
enjoyed his visit and met many new
friends and number of former &C.
quaintances.

Care of Farm Machinery.

AS the rain and SHOWS of winter
begin to fall upon the land we see
scattered about here and there farm
machinery that cost many dollars ex-
posed to the elements Farming is
not, by the majority of people con-
sidered very profitable occupation,
yet what other business could stand
the drain of such losses as many
farmers meet with, avoidable losses,
at that. Farm machinery is expen-
sive, but most of it with good care
might be made to last for many
years. All machinery and convey
ances should be housed when not in
use. Where lumber is scarce and ex-
pensive, sheds matched with straw
or corn stalks can be built. All ma
chinery should be put away clean,
and 1t pays to so over the wood work
with paint and the metal parts with
oil each fall. If the owners time is
too precious it will pay him to hire
man to do this. A man will go over
a large amount of machinery in a day
with good brush. One source of
waste in machinery is the neglect to
replace broken or worn parts when
needed. The ''stitch in time saves
nine" and the bolt or screw replaced
at once will often save the crippling
Of the whole machine. A worn part
replaced with new before it breaks
often saves injury to the machine,
but valuable lime is wasted if it
breaks when in use. A farmer can
bankrupt himself buying farm ma
chinery and then have nothing that
he does not need. 1t is far more
profitable to take care of a machine
and get the full usefulness of it than
let wind, rain and neglect destroy it
and be obliged to purchase, and earn
money to pay for another.-C. j. W.,
in the Indiana Farmer.

] believe that the cheapest way to
rid the pasture of weeds. as well as
other parts of the farm where sheep
can be allowed to run, is to keep
some sheep grazing upon it. I be-
lieve it is also the best way to keep
down weeds, as the sheep wander
over the same land day after day and
keep the weeds closely picked down
all the time, while if you depeud On
moving the weeds, it can only be
done occasionally and not very often
at best. A good sized bunch Of sheep
will do more weed killing than a man
and do it at a profit to the owner
while the man would be quite an
item OF expense.
The greatest obstacle in the way
of ordinary farmers keeping sheep, is
the expense of keeping fencing that is
sufficient. 1t does not require a great
deal of expense to build a sheep fence.
If you already have a horse and cow
fence, of say, three wires, all that
will be necessary is to add two extra
wires and see that all five Of them
are very tight, but if you have no
fence at all where you desire to make
your pasture l would recommend a.
woven fence.
made an experiment with sheep
on an old field three years ago. It
was a tract of fifteen acres belonging
to one of my neighbors, but joined up
to my land On one side. It had been
in meadow for several years and the
weeds had about taken possession.
My neighbor offered to sell the land
and l purchased it at a reasonable
price, and at once had it fenced,
which cost $50. I pastured it the
first season with nothing but sheep
and kept count of how much gain
the sheep made and how much the
profits on them amounted to, and the
first year l made enough off of the
land to pay for the fencing and leave
a small per cent Of profit on the in
vestment. Besides that, the land
was pretty we'll cleaned up, which
would have cost considerable to have
done by man or horse work.
There is one point in keeping sheep
which most farmers overlook, and
that is that some breeds OF sheep are
better grazers than others, and in
deed some individuals Of the same
flock are better at this. / think a
little selection in this line viii count
for very much in few years; choose
the cnes that work over the ground
rapidly.-R. B. Rushing, in the Iuq
diana Farmer.

The Young FOal.

Young foals should be taught to
eat grain at as early an age as posi-
BILE, and not allowed to suckle the
dam after five months old. A foal
should have a roonly stall or shed
and be allowed its freedom in a pad
dock several hours a day when the
weather is pleasant. 1t should have
as much good hay as it cares to eat
three times day, but no more should
be given than is eaten up clean be-
fore the next meal. The Manager and
feedbox should always be kept clean.
In addition to hay, the foal should
have oats, clipped hay and bran and
some carrots. The morning feed
should be about one quart of cat feed
and one quart of wheat bran, and if
this is mixed with few handfuls of
cut clover hay, so much the better.
A4 moon the feed should be one or
twp quarts of cut up carrots and one
qusrt of oat feed. The evening meal
should be oats and bran, as much as
the colt will clean up before morn
ing. The quantities mentioned are
for weil-grown hearty colt, but
judgment must be exercised by the
feeder.-Indiana Farmer.

Goats as Trail Makers.

The brush eating instinct of the
Angora goat is being successfully
demonstrated on the Lassen National
Forest in California where they are
cutting trails for fire guards through
the brushy areas on the slopes of the
mountains. The animals, which num-
Der 5000, have been divided into two
bands and under the care of the
herders are grazed within certain well
defined areas so that their work may
be concentrated on the brush within
those limits. The result is that they
have practically killed nearly all the
brush in the course either by eating
1t up entirely, or by barking, as in
the case of the heavy manzanita
bushes. At the beginning of the ex-
pertinent there was some doubt as to
the goats willingness to eat the man.

where there is little else they will
just as readily attack it as any other
bushes.-Indiana Farmer.

A cftyss Small Shops.

It has been recorded OF Chicago
that It has no little Shops" that all
the space in the downtown district is
taken up by the great stores. This
observation was taken without recll-
oning with the woman shopkeeper

The woman shopkeeper fiourishes in
great numbers and the floor space
that she occupies is so tiny that she
seems to be engaged in play shop
keeping nevertheless. she makes a
living and pays her rent by the
test that she stays year after year.
Every year new speciality shops in
womens apparel are opened until at
