Care Of the
Farm implements

One source of less to the Louis.
lana farm arises from the too
general practice of leaving all
sorts of implements exposed to
the weather unnecessarily. The
life of the plow or cultivator that
lis left on the turn'row between
seasons of use can be doubled by
being stored under shelter when
not in use. The same. of course,
is true of the wagon, hay press,
rake, etc.
Another point that needs me.
phasis in this connection is the
care of the wood parts of imple.
ments. A coat or two applied to
implements during the idle days
| of winter will protect wood and
iron, prolong the life Of the i'm
plement and pay a good dividend
on investment. Broken parts
should be repaired at this time
bolts frightened, and the imple-
ments stored away from damp
places. Plow shares should be
cleaned before being stored, even
for only a few days. The i'm
plements of the average farm
represent a considerable OUTLAW,
and if the annual wear and teal
can be kept down to 10 per cent
instead of being allowed to run
up to 20 or 25 per cent, it means
a considerable saving to th<
farmer.

The farmer who sells his cot.
ton seed for the few dollars they
will bring and does not put back
on the soil the plant food of which
it has been robbed may think he
has made money because his
bank account is q little larger.
Az . matter Of fact we consider
the fertility Of his land as an item
of wealth, there can be no doubt
that he is poorer after than oe.
fore the sale.
The course to pu rsue with re-
gard to cotton seed is to exchange
it for meal hulls; or preferably,
simply sell the oil mill the oil in
seed. The meal and hulls should
then be fed on the farm, and the
manure returned to the land.
lOf course the farm must have
live stock.
II this plan is not practicable
the following scheme should be
adopted in order to keep up the
fertility Of the land: Enoug COW

Father NORM has announced
last Sunday that there will be q
meeting of the Society of st. Mi
chsl, which society lie supposed to
have in charge the keeping of the
cemetery. Last year q man was
employed by the month aud at the
beginning he did good work aud
put the emetery in fine condition.
Of late he give no attention to tho
cemetery, be now only keep the
roads, that is he only cuts some of
the grass. but the work is far from
what it should be aud at the pre-
sent his pay is too much for the
little bad work he is doing. 1t
seems that no one is having charge
of this man aud is work, which is
entirely unsatisfactory. Father
NORM is right when he says that
the people through some organi-
zatiou should keep the cemetery
in good condition, and We beheve
our people would always be ready
to contribute the money necessary
if The work was properly done,
they have contributed money time
and again, but have always disap-
pointed in the work. st. Michel
Society has been failure and will
not get the full support of the
people. We believe we should
try to interest the ladies in this
work, because we are satisfied that
they would do better work.
