TOOLS FOR THE FARMER.
Save Money, Time and Temper by
Having the Proper Equipment.

Save Money, Time and Temper by
Having the Proper Equipment.
Every farmer should keep good tools.
so that during bad weather. when work
cannot be done In the fields. repairs
may be made This work can be done
in the shop. small shop may be
built cheaply
There are many repairs that will be
needed during the year Buildings will
need repairs. implements need fixing.
fence materials are to be cut and put
up. new devices. handy. contrivances.
etc. made a man handy with tools
can save much expense during THE year,
and the tools will give him employ
ment when perhaps his time would not
be profitable otherwise Boys usually
find pleasure in using carppnl ers' tools.
H. e White of the agricultural en-
gineering department of the University
of Minnesota gives the following list
of tools that the average farmer should
have: Square. rule. ripsaw. mallet,
hammer, oilstOne. handsaw. wood rasp.
jack plane. drawknife. ratchet brace,
screwdriver. expansive brace. mark
ing gauge. chisels- half. one and one
and a half inch bits-One-quarter,
three-eighths. one-half, five-eighths and
three-quarter inch.
The best plan is to buy good tools
Cheap tools will seldom give satiSfac
ton. Then the tools should be kept in
a tool box in the shop or some place
where they can be protected When
ever you have finished with one always
put it back in its place
Tools to be truly serviceable must
be kept sharp. No progressive person
can afford to waste time using dull
tools They should also be polished and
kept bright-Farm and Ranch.

FEATHERS AND EeesHELLs.

Michael Peck of Shamok1n, Ia,
pleaded guilty to stealing a fifty cent
chicken and was sent to jail for year.
We agree with him that that kind OF
poultry business doesn't pay, for in that
time at his trade he could make $500
and also keep his reputation.
A 10000 egg incubator was one of
the attractions at the st. Louis poul-
try show. Missouri Is called "Show
Me Land" She has shown all the 9th
er states clean pair Of heels in the
poultry race and Is now the chief poul-
try state in the Union.
1t has been suggested that the hen
be substituted for the eagle on our
coins. Gold and Silver ROCKS would
look all right on the gold and silver
pieces, and the Wyandottes would just
fit on the Indians"
Many breeders who raise stock that
lays the brown shell egg are registering
a kick against the popularity and spe-
cial price paid for the snowy white
variety. 1t costs more to produce the
brown egg, If only egg profits are the
mark, for they are laid by larger
breeds, with but few exceptions. The
white craze is extending, and the only
way to compete with it in a white
shell market is to produce brown egg
of larger size.
When the door was left open 100
hens at Cornell university, N. Y, made
a rush for liberty, and forty were killed
In the stampede. Now, If this were a
ministerial institute we would think 1t
only a trick Of some sky pilot to get
chicken for dinner.
Coal oil is too strong for scaly leg
and should be mixed with about one
half lard and applied warm. Coal oil
should not be rubbed on the face, comb
and wattles for frostbite, as it burns
and blisters. Tincture of benzoin for
frostbite for men and hen.
Among professional men who should
cultivate side issue is the minister.
Too often his competence is small, and,
to the shame of certain churches be it
said, few gray hairs often relegate
him to the human scrap pile. Now, If
he has just cultivated some side issue
to fall back on for financial returns
when he retires, how happy! We know
of no better side or inside issue for the
preacher than chicken. Lawyers, Of
course, prefer to continue to pluck fat
geese.
The Boston show gave substantial
premiums on exhibits of eggs and
dressed poultry, and New England is
especially the locality for the very
finest finished market poultry.
The twelve months Missouri national
egg laying contest, recently closed, had
an entry of 655 hens. which laid total
Of S7,843 eggs, or 1874 eggs per hen.
Five Rose Comb Reds led with 1,042
eggs. A New York pen of Indian Run
ner ducks led the quack contingent with
674 eggs.

The Japanese Rumpus

PRESIDENT WILSON. is having
the same trouble with California
and the Japanese that his prede-
cessors had. When Mr.. Roose-
welt was President the trouble
aroze over the act Of the San
Francisco Schools in excluding
Japanese children, while the
present trouble aries over pro-
posed legislation for excluding
the Japanese from the owner
ship of real property. 1t is
needless however for anyone to
feel alarmed at the prospects of
war with these little Islands
across the wide Pacific Ocean
because while Japan was victor
ious over Russia, yet that war
was a terrific drain on the re-
sourses of Japan and so if she
should be foolish enough to en-
bark in another war with such a
wealthy country as this, it
would practically mean the ex-
tinction of Japan from the face
of the map as money is the
thing that counts in war and we
can always command Unlimited
millions while Japan cannot.

When a Mans In Love.

Love was under discussion, and
the time old "When Is "a Man In
Love" question came up. GA man
is in love-" said one, when it gives
him physical pain to tear up the
slightest of her notes" when
but it would be violating condolences
to tell other answers. One only
the best-we begged leave to print.
GA man isn't really in love-" said
this Economically astute old gentle
man, until he begins to skip the
descriptions of heroines in novels
he reads, saying. What's the use of
reading that? I'll have her looking
like her and talking like her any
way "-Metropolitan.

The Republican banquet to be
held in Madison on May 18th at 6
O'Clock p. M, to which an open in
vitation to all Republicans is given
and which will be attended by hum
dreds of Republican leaders from all
parts of the state, is calling forth a
great deal of conjecture as to its
real significance. The committee in
charge announces it is a jollification
over the victory of last fall in the
face of local handicap and national
land slide and over other victories
to come, asserting that the Wiscon-
sin Republican party has solved the
problem in the way the
national Republican party now sees
it must solve it, and that Wisconsin
Republicanism will lead the party
back to it's place of progressive con
structive leadership.

Being completely surrounded by
forest fires and having rain come
just in time was the experience OF
O. A. Lamoreaux and Joe Veno who
returned the first of the week from
a business trip to Duluth. The triu
was made in the Lamoreaux auto.
Mr.. Lamoresux says that fires were
encountered near Mason and an
attempt was made to pass. Fires
leaped across the road after the
machine had gone through and more
fires were encountered ahead SO that
Mr.. Lamoreaux and Mr. Veno were
penned in with fires all around them.
The two thought that it was a poor
place to be with machine loaded
with gasoline but thunder shower
came up in the nick of time and ex-
tinguished the fires enough to let
the machine pass.

between which are placed 100 seeds.

six days the total number OF sprouted
