CARE OF FARM IMPLEMENTS
Should Be Placed In Shed or Under
Suitable Shelter While Not In
Use-Common Sense Needed.
lRY a. II. ALFORD.l

(BY q. Fl. ALFORD.)
Labor-saving machinery Is now used
in every branch Of industry. The
loom. the shoe-pegging outfit, and
other kinds Of out-of-date machinery
have been discarded. Why should
farmers continue to use the imple-
ments used BY their grandfathers?
Human labor 10 the most costly thing
used in the production of crops and
we ought to make machinery take the
place Of human labor whenever pos
sible.
1t 10 true that many farmers cannot
afford to buy costly laborsaving farm
implements. They do not take caro-
of their farm tools. They let their
tools remain out in the rain and sun
shine from n years end to another.
The tools do not last more than two
or three years. They cannot afford
to spend several hundred dollars each
year for tools.
We boast Of u common sense. We
are certainly not using any kind Of
sense when we leave our wagons, bug
gies, plows and other farm tools out
in the weather. We are using any
thing but when we work hard
for money to pay for tools to decay
in fence corners and under trees. We
can house our tools when not using
them and them to last four or
Ave times as long ~ they now last.
A small Toulouse can be built for
little money. 1t ought to be 90 con-
structed that 1t 10 al easy to put the
tools away as 1t Is to leave them out
Let us build this tool shed and turn
over a new leaf in the care Of our
farm tools.

Snobbery at the Naval Academy

wife of Lieut.. Commander William T.
Tarrant, who is engineer officer Of

tic feet. She was invited to one of
the naval academy hops several weeks
ago by a midshipman whose name has
not been disclosed by the department.
She attended the dance and shortly
afterward left Annapolis for her home
In New Haven. At the time of her
departure she knew nothing of the in
cident In which she figured.
One of the officers on duty at An
napolis suggested to the midshipman,
on the superstition that Miss Beers
was a domestic, that she should not
have been invited by the midshipman
to the hon.
The midshipman, according to the
report received at the department, re-
piled that he disagreed personally
with the view Of his superiors at the
academy. There was. however, moth.
ing that he could do under the cir
cumstances. The inquiry developed
that Captain Bowyer was responsible
for the suggestion that Miss Beers
was o a desirable guest at academy
social events.

These wrong impressions about the

suppose that when a senator claps his

Swine Breeding.

In the selection Of breeding animals,
more attention should be paid to the
individual qualities Of boar and SOW
than to the particular breed. Breed
alone does not determine good breed
ing stock. A pure-bred boar is to be
preferred, and both boar and SOW
should be rather Of a medium than an
extreme type Of the breed represent
ed. Under present conditions, farm
ers find it most generally profitable to
raise the larger breeds Of hogs; the
sows producing more pigs at a litter.

Really, this Is not the kind of COM

afterward, but If the sunlight cannot
be directed into their nests after a

be moved to some light airy quarter
where the direct rays Of the sun can
be shed upon It.

SUBSTITUTE FOR THE HAT PIN,

Rejoice, ye men, and be exceeding
glad 1t has remained for an Ohio
inventor to come to your rescue with
a substitute for the deadly hat pin,
says a Gle veland newspaper. No pos
sible reward is too great &C bestow on
this benefactor Of his race, and no
bays too green to attach-pinleSsly-
to his lofty brow.
The new idea is so extremely simple
that the only wonder is that it has
not been thought Of before. Let the
inventor describe it in his own limpid
language:
IA flexible band, flush with the
lower edge OF the hat, provided with
pivot lugs arranged along the median
portion Of its inner periphery, and a
plurality Of inwardly foldable anchor
fangs pivotally mounted In said pivot
Tugs and braced against the lowest
edge Of the said band to prevent out
ward movement when placed on the
head OF tine wearer."
Could anything be more-er-bep
trovato, as it were2 Order one OF
your mill1ner, and II she hasn't one
ii took, describe and sine viii make IL
for you In . few seconds. We see only
one fault with the attachment, as de-
scribed. It should be further provid-
ed with an applique OF willow feath-
ers cut bias on the selvedge and
caught up at the fiounce with sequins
OF passementerie. Then there would
be no danger OF the transmission slid
ing or Of the equilibrator refusing to
work. And how lovely 1t would be in
cars!

w1MPLE CORN HIGH PRICED.
Editor Sturges of Beressord Wins
Nice Prize from Wimple
Present.

A special to the Sioux City Tribune
from Beresford tells of the auction
and sale Of 100 ears presented to the
Editor Of the Beresford Republic. The
special states: The 1OO-ear ex-
hibit of Wimple's yellow dent corn,
which has been attracting special at
tention during recent weeks, from
the fact that it vas presented by Mr..
Wimple to Fl. A. Sturges, the editor
OF the Beresford Republic, with the
understanding that it be sold to the
highest bidder before December Is,
and the proceeds go to the editor as a
Christmas present, was sold today by
Colonel J. w. Reedy, as auctioneer,
to Hans Pearson, a prominent farmer
near Beresford, and it is believed that
the figure, S85, is the highest eyer
paid in the northwest for any single
lOO-ear exhibit of corn.
The corn is claimed by Mr.. w. to
be the pick OF his 10O-acres, and after
the sale Outstanding farmers at once
contracted with Mr.. Pearson for the
product Of the corn at So per oushel
for seed.
Editor Sturges is to be congratulated
over his good luck aid the iiberality
Of Mr.. Wimple.
The Canton LEADER began It's corn
work Il 1901 AMI has been nusy ever
since talking corn and aiding those
who had doubts about the Importance
of selecting seed. In 1901 Gunder
Twedt OF Norway township had the
largest and finest ear of corn brought
to tbs" LEADERS coil display thai
year and 1t contained about 200
kernels of good corn. and from that
time the Importance of selecting pure
seed has grown until all the progress
sive farmers in the state are in line,
and the Beresford Republic got into
the educational game soon after the
LEADER and it has done splendid
work aver since.
The LEADER recognizes in Mr..
Wimple one of the most enthusiastic
corn breeders in the state, and he did
a wise thing when he presented editor
Sturges with 100 ears of his choice
yellow dent.
Years ago, G. A. South of Eden
township imported a famous brand of
corn known as "Gold coin," and
raised it successfully for years, Then
Joseph Millett, also of Eden town
ship. took up the study of corr and
began raising Reeds yellow dent and
from his efforts came the first pure
seed which laid the foundation for
nearly all the good corn raised in
this county since. MI. Wimple got
interested in improved seed cnrn and
he was followed by John Bremen of
Canton township, and both Of these
gentleman became corn breeders.
MI. Bremen retired from the farm
this year, and Mr.. Wimple is still III
the business, and while Mr.. Millett is
still raising Reeds famous yellow
dent, he Is not breeding corn for the
market.
