Care of Farm Machinery,

1t is estimated that the machip-
cry and tools necessary to operate
a farm of average size represent
an outlay of from one to three
thousand dollars. This initial out
lay is heavy, but when the long
service and economy of operation
due to their use is considered, the
possession of good tools must be
considered the best of economy.
However, unless given good care
and their period of service ex-
tended to maximum, their fire.
quent replacement will be great
factor in destroying all profits
from the farm.
The question of how long any
machine ought to give good serv-
ice can of course be answered
only in general way. A binder
with average crops of so to 100
acres ought to last 20 to 30 years
or longer. In that time but 1000
to 5000 acres would be harvested
and it is certainly not unreason-
able to expect that much from a
machine. A good farm wagon
ought to last so years; a steel roll
Ter almost lifetime; a grain drill
25 years; a hay rake and hay ted
der % years, and a disk harrow
ID years. What is the secrets of
getting this long service from ma
chinery9 Shelter and attention.
Any building which will keep
out rain and snow will serve for
storing tools. Tobacco barns,
stock barns and even temporary
straw sheds will answer. How
Never, the question of convenience
in storing aud getting tools out is
important, for when particularly
inconyenient it is great tempta-
ton to leave out tools during a
sbusy season until they become
rdsted and weather beaten. A
building especially for this pur-
pose Is by far most convenient
and willpay for itself in very
few years. 1t should be built at
a convenient place on the farm,
where drainage is good, and should
be rain, snow and chicken-ti tight.
The arrangement should be such
that tools can be removed and put
back without any great difficulty.
A wide building with several large
doors will probably be found most
convenient. One corner should be
partitioned off for workshop and
storing small tools and repairs.
When through using a tool put
it away promptly, even if to be
used again in few days. 1t will
quickly rust if left out, and rust
wears out tools much faster than
use. Every effort should be made
to protect and prevent tools from
rusting. The bright wearing
parts of plows, disk harrows,
drills, etc., may be protected by
giving a coat of heavy grease, such

THE FEMALES PROTEST.

county and SOphmOre at Stat
University, Lexington, has writ
ten a poem in answer to Rudyar
Kipling's THE Female of tn
Species,n which, when publishe
in the college paper won sue
fame that it is with pleasure tina
we reproduce it in these columns
Is the male more true and noble
Freed from females gentle wiles?
Is he happier by her absence1
Is he lonlier for her smile?
Does she cause his feet to stumbled
Is her love poisoned dart?
Doth she nourish vengeance solely
In the warm blood of her heart?
Does she flee and leave her offspring
When the dangers gather round?
Doth she strike save to defend them?
Is she not by instinct bound?
Hath she borne none of his burdens?
Never cheered his saddened heart?
Never borne her share of sorrows?
Never forced his bonds apart
Hath she nothing good e'er given?
Hath the world of her no need?
Never given hope and counsel?
Never done golden deed?
Doth she ask more than her portion
Of the rights that nature gave?
Is her soul bent on destruction
Hath she no desire to save?
If this were true forbid her suffrage;
Der her face then draw the veil
For the female of the species
Is more deadly than the male.
Doom her to eternal slavery;
Bind her with an iron band;
Yoke her with the heather customs;
Send her wandering land to land.
Then the male may rest in quiet;
Proudly view his fadingsrace;
For no sons him should come after;
None may take the fathers place.
Are the sins of ceaseless nagging-
ssCourage that convictions loan
And the instand wild contentious,
Restricted to femalesIAlone?
If she hath such vile influence
Why do men of honored name,
Often give the femalescredit
For their glory and their fame?
By the law of abstract justice
n Man with God could never live.
Heart the judge :and love the sovereign
These alone her answers give.
Shame on him who. horn of womau,
Would besmirch her sacred name;
And to place on all the censure
When a few should bear the blame.
Thus to shoot the sharp vague arrow
Aimed though it be DER her dear heaC
Who healed his wounds and hnshed hi
crying,
Tucked him in his trunde:bed.
Could he pay the debt he owes her
Though he lived thousand years,
For her sleepless nights of watching,
For her love, her pain, her tears?

FIGURING MILL
BURNS TO GROUND

The most destructive fire in this city
since the burning of the plant of the
Hood River Manufacturing Engineer
ing Co. last year occurred early Sun
day morning, when the mill of the
Hood River FIGURING Co., starting
either from spontaneous combustion or
the fires of hObos, as is supposed,
burned to the ground. The fire, which
was discovered at 80 in the morning,
had made such headway that it was
impossible to save the mill structure,
and the fire department turned its
efforts toward preventing the flames
flom destroying the adjoining ware
house, in which was stored an abun-
dance of wheat. The grain was saved,
but the smoke will hurt its value.
Hose Company No. 2 Of the volunteer
fire department, was the first to reach
the scene and turn stream of water
on the fire. The nearest hydrant was
on Cascade avenue near the Stanley
Smith Lumber Go. buildings and the
stretch of hose was necessarily long. A
line of nose was secured from the lum-
Der company in order to reach the
flames. The new hose cart given by
the protective association was used for
the first time Sunday morning. The
officers of Hose Company No. 2 are A.:
G. Kent, foreman, ard j. W. Gray, as
sistant.
The members of the VOgel orchestra,
a number of whom belong to the fire
department, were making preparations
to leave Underwood where they had
been playing for dance when the fire
was discovered. They made record
time in crossing the river. In just
forty minutes they were on the scene
of the disaster and fighting the fire.
G.. j. Gessling manager and chief
stockhOder of the company states that
the loss Of the destroyed building and
stock will amount to $35, 600 two-thirds
of which is covered by insurance.
Mr.. GessIing states that no plans
have been made as TO rebuilding. He
says, however, that the plant will be
reconstructed at once if those indebted
to the concern meet their obligations.
At the present time the mill company
has in outstanding accounts payable
the sum of $40, 900.
