CARING FOR MACHINERY ON THE
FARM

CIV. d. Mckee, Farmers Institute
Lecturer Of Polo, Mo-
There are SO many important duties
on the farm hat it is difficult to say
just which is the most important, yet
| an going to place the care of farm
machinery in the column of important
duties and allow each individual read
er to give to it the rank he sees fit.
That farm machinery should be
properly housed all will admit, but
note the word properly does not mean
or include improperly housing. Ma
%chinery placed in an old ramshackle
shed that leaks and converts the in
side into a mud hole, where the corn
planter knife and the disks are i'm
bedded in mud or soft moist dirt dur
ing the winter, does not, 10y any mean
constitute properly housing.
Machinery should be nicely cleaned
and all bearings we'll oiled and then
put under a good, nonleakable roof,
boarded up in such a way as to protect
the implements from now and rain.
Blowing snow that piles up on ma
chinery and thaws and freezes during
the winter is really more damaging
than if the machinery was out side,
lacked up high and dry, where the
cnnuy ni1l h1nn off and tho SIM nnA
wind can dry the machinery of all
moisture.
Now where shed room is not at
hand, and means are not at the farm
ers commend, then the farmer can do
the next best thing, and a splendid
good practice it Is too, that of cover
ing carefully every year, or say every
two years, all machinery with some
good standard brand of implement
paint, or even coal tar is a cheap pro-
lection.
There are 81 many advantages in
this practice that l a not refrain
from emphasizing one or two. The
water gets in around the bolts and
fittings and, while the wooden parts
look to be perfectly sound, yet often
has the farmer found himself chagrin-
ed by having a breakdown while a
crew Of men at his expense are kept
idle for hours or even a half day or
more waiting for the farmer to replace
a tongue or ONE essential part of a
binder or corn harvester that has sud-
denly and Unexpectedly given way,
when the whole matter could have
been happily avoided in onetenth the
time and at o~ne-hundredth OF the ex-
pense by applying a small quantity OF
paint as suggested above.
Here is another case where your
paint will help materially. The farmer
often, when amply supplied with plen-
ty of shed room, runs his heavy ma
chinery out to use for a short time
and does not care to return it to the
shed before using it again that season
and yet does not care to have the rain
and the sun to check, crack or warp
the wood work or to rust the metal;
SO he acts the wise part of a frugal
and applies this paint at odd
saves his machinery, adds to its
appearance. digpifes his calling and
increases his profits by doing n Of
the duties that lieth nearest to him.

SHOT sALUTING OLD GLORY.
Soldier of Fortune, in Nicaragua
Shows Love for American Flag.

San Diego, Cal. Sept. 27.-The
naval collier Justin arrived this
morning, II days from Corinto. The
Justin brought the news that an
American soldier of fortune, named
Thompson, met death in a spectacu-
lar manner while fighting with the
federals against insurgents in the
south of Leon. He was operating a
rapid-fire gun against a house in
which were some rebel riflemen.
Behind him was the house of an
American planter. The latter, as a
measure of protection, hoisted an
American flag, whereupon rebels
who had been firing at the planters
house suddenly stopped their fusil-
lade.
Thompson, noticing the cessation.
turned around to ascertain the cause.
Seeing the American flag, he straight
ened up, turned his back on the rebel
riflemen and saluted 1t was his last
act. AS he brought his hand to his
forehead an insurgent shot him dead.

McMinnville, Ore.-The Dayton
Drier and Evaporating Company S
plant at Dayton, in the eastern part
of this county, the largest evaporat-
ing plant on the coast, was burned

pounds of dried prunes.
The fire was discovered about
1890 p. m, by w. F. Hemphill, who
is employed as a drierman, and by
1880 p. m. was burned to the ground.
A large portion of the dried fruit in
stock at the warehouse was saved,
while the residence of E. NJ Alder
man, the old home place of the pa
rents of the state superintendent of
schools, l.. R. Alderman, caught fire
and was also destroyed.
Although every means at hand was
used to check the flames and all men
available fought hard, the building
burned like dry straw. The plant
was used for drying fruit and vege-
tables and shipped its output to Sc
attic and Alaska.

GIRL KIDNAPPED BY OLD MAN
White Slavery Charge May Follow
Child's Return Home.

klamath Falls, Sept 27.-Harriet
Fink will arrive home tonight from
Corning, Cal, with her mother and
Deputy Sheriff John Schallock.
Frank Ferris, about 60 years old, a
carpenter, is held for kidnapping her.
He has confessed that he took the
girl to Doris and bought ticket for
her to Corning. Evidence is said to
be strong that white slavery was at
tempted. The girl was led to believe
that she was to become a piano play
er for show, and she was supplied
with clothes to disguise herself at
Doris. The sentiment against Fer
ris here is strong, and it is believed
he has kidnapped other young girls.
An attempt will be made to place a
white slavery charge against him.
Harriet Fink disappeared from
this city Wednesday morning while
on her way to school. She was taken
to Doris, 23 miles south of this
place, where she and her kidnapper
boarded train but were arrested at
Corning and returned here.

SPECIAL CAR FOR CRAZIES.
Ten Insane Aliens Will Travel East
Together, to BE Deported.

One of the craziest punches ever
seen on the Pacific coast, far worse
mentally than any of those who at
tended the Chicago and Baltimore
conventions when whooping it up for
their favorite candidates, will leave
Portland tonight for the east in
specially constructed kitchen car,
which is being sent from Chicago.
The occupants of the car will be
10 insane aliens, inmates of the state
asylum at Salem, and one i'll person,
who are being deported by the gov
ernment after the history of each
since his arrival in the United States
had been cleaned by immigration In
spector j. H. Barbour. Soon after
they came to this country 10 of them
became demented, and the eleventh
public charge through having fallen
victim to tuberculosis On the way
east the patients will be in charge
of five attendants. three from the
asylum. r. p. Bonham, an immigra-
tion inspector under Mr.. Barbour,
will accompany the party as its Of
ficial head.
AS the patients are young people,
and regarded as incurable, it is
claimed that thousands of dollars
will be saved to Oregon by their de-
portation, and the state does not
have to incur any of the expense in
sending them to their former homes,
/ the federal government shouldering
the entire cost. The crazy persons
are:
Jacob Luorna, who will be sent to
Finland via Quebec; Tomaso Dene-
detti, to Italy; Nicholas Giannotouis.
Greece; Andrew Svendsen, Sweden;
George Koristantine Koski, Finland;
Carl Weiser, Germany, who has tu-

WILL RESIST HOME RULE.
Devote Day to Signing Covenant Not
to Submit.

Belfast, Sept. 2S.-Crowning proof
of their determination never to sub
nit to the domination of the Irish
parliament, when thousands of Uls-
terians, unionists and Orangemen
devoted today to signing a covenant
OF resistance to home rule. Not
withstanding the anxiety and dread
of what might happen, Ulster day
passed off without any serious dis
turbance. In expectation of rioting
troops were quartered in the city.
Only one demonstration of fac
tional feeling developed, which
threatened. for brief space to be-
come serious. After football
signing of the covenant and services
Catholic teams, as the crowds were
returning home several green flags
were waving. The appearance of
these emblems of nationalism start
ed several fights, but the police
stopped the conflicts before anyone
was badly hurt Sir Edward Carson
was the first signer of the covenant
and was followed by many other per-
sonages of prominence in business,
religious, social and governmental
affairs
Religious services preceded the
isgning of the covenant and services
of similar nature were held in
many churches. Undoubtedly ar
rangements whereby the signing of
documents was treated also men of
religious obligation exercised a re-
straining influence on the bellicose
Orangemen. Humorous views were
taken of the ceremony by the ma
tionalists, which tended to diminish
their hostility.
The aspect of the city throughout
the day, however, was a decided mar
tial air and resounded with the tramp
of well-drilled civilians going and
coming from the city hall, where the
covenant was signed, while bands
played patriotic airs. Sir Edward
Carson, who had announced his will
lingness to stand in the forefront of
the battle until victory is won, how
ever fought out, was the dominant
figure of the day.
After dinner given in honor of
the occasion he received a congratu-
latory address from the English
Protestant associations and then ac-
companied by members of parlia-
ment who have been prominent in
this campaign he started for the
Donegal quay to take a steamer for
Liverpool, where he will attend a
big anti-home rule demonstration

TALKS ON ADVERTISING TO It'd.
INGS READERS.
BY Ralph Kaye

In selecting your mediums, do you
consider how they read? Take the
newspapers. They are read quickly,
yet thoroughly. If your advertise
ment is to take effect, it should have
a strong heading and an unusual lay
out that attracts the readers atten-
ton to the copy. Take the weekly
publications. They are read a little
more leisurely. Your advertisement
should take advantage of this. Take
the monthly magazine. The reader
has still more time to read your ad-
vertisement. And so on down the
list of mediums-from the Flash" of
the electric sign, the "fleeting
glimpse" of the billboards and the
buying suggestions" of the street
car cards. 1t just means that after
selecting your mediums, write your
advertisements so as to take advan-
tage of the particular method with
which that medium is read.
