Farm Machinery.

Numerous Investigations upon this
farm machinery question have brought
out that the life of farm machinery de-
ponds a great deal on the owner. The
same Identical machine or implement
will last twice as long with one man
as it does with another. The difference
in duration is in favor of the ma
chinery that is housed. All leather
belts and canvas parts should be Ia
ken from the machine and stored in
a dry place and in a place free from
rats and mice. A few of these rodents
can do a great amount of damage in a
very short time. Figure the cost of
your machine and the per cent. 1t
earns on the investment and see If you
cannot afford to shelter it well. The
years that will be added to the life OF
1t will Offset the first cost many times
over.

MAKE PROFIT FROM CHICKENS
Lucrative Side Line for Farmers Who
VIII Make Most of it-FoWls
Destroy Many Insects.

Specialized poultry farms are be-
coming more numerous each year. In
many cases these are paying good
returns on the money invested, but
their effect on the supply of eggs and
dressed poultry for our large markets
is but as a drop in the ocean. 1t is
for the small flocks of so to 800 fowls
kept upon the farms as a side line
that we must depend for u supply
of poultry products in the future as in
the past, says Prof. p. G. Holden in
the Farm and Home Poultry Annual.
No other branch of agriculture is rep
resented on so many farms. The cen
sus for 1910 shows that SO per cent.
of all farms reported keeping poultry.
In no case can the business be
made so profitable as where 1t is con-

SAW GEN. JACKSON IN LIFE
T~ennesseean Recalls Visit Made to
1.-THE Hermitage" When He Met
and Spoke With Hero.

Reading in your paper OF March IL
q communication from Mrs. Mary G.
Doris concerning Mount Vernon and
the Hermitage, writes the Rev. w. M.
Norment in the Nashville Tennessean,
calls up the fact that | myself, with a
dozen other boys, students in Cumber-
land university, attended the funeral
of "Old Hickory" as then called, in
1845.
Some three weeks previous eight
cen or twenty boys and young men
visited the Hermitage to pay our re-
spects to the hero of New Orleans,
were kindly received by Andrew Jack
son Donelson, invited to look over the
premises and into the parlor, into
which had been placed many relics
of the battle of New Orleans, his
sword hanging on the walls, his pis-
tolls on the center table, a rusty bayo-
net through a piece of a limb and 9TH
er objects.
After our lunch at noon we were in
vited into the generals room, where
he sat in an armchair smoking his
small silver pipe. | will never forget
the venerable appearance and the
kind look on his face. Each boy gave
his name and shook the hand of this
great man, were then seated around
the room, when a lecture, more like
a sermon or a farewell address of a
father to his sons, was given in a
tremulous voice.
First expressing pleasure at our
visit, commencing us for the efforts to
fit ourselves for citizenship in this
grand republic, remarking that soon
the responsibility of conducting the
affairs of church and state would rest
upon the shoulders of the then rising
generation, urging us to fidelity to the
trust, and to be upright of life, and
as we said good-by / think each boy
was impressed with the greatness of
the man who had talked to US, and
whose life voice had touched upon
events of such momentous interest to
this great nation.
AS stated, a number of the students
attended the funeral. l remember the
Presbyterian minister from Nashville
standing on the front piazza while a
vast assemblage of people stood in the
front yard. / remember the rattle of
musketry as the body of Gen. Andrew
Jackson was lowered into a vault be-
side his wife.
Should these lines fall under the
eyes of any of the boys who made the
visit to the spot that should be held
sacred to the memory of this great
man l would be glad to hear from
them. l know of lone living. l have

bridegroom off for his honeymoon.
Ten minutes later he vas seated In
his car, watching the flying landscape
as the train steamed through the
pleasant country on its way toward
the little Pennsylvania village.
1t was a six hours run. Croft's heart
was beating fast when at last. well
toward shutdown, the train slowed
down and ran into the little station.
He left his suit case at the station,
directing that it should be sent up to
the house where he had been born.
The little tumble-down cottage had
long been empty, for his parents had
died since his first departure, but rea-
sons of sentiment had prevented Croft
from selling It.; besides, he had al
ways resolved one day to return there
to live. He made his way down the
village street under the long shad-
ows Of the elm.
1t vas a long street, and before he
had reached the end the u had set.
The gracious twilight of spring shroud-
ed all things in mystery. The place
had not changed at all. He might have
been returning thither from college.
All sense of the intervening years had
left him. At last he was standing at
the bottom of Mildred's garden.
Mildred" he called.
Then his heart pounded violently in
his breast as he saw a slim figure in
a sunbonnet start out of the house and
move toward him with the old, leis-
urely grace. And SO she passed be-
tween the borders of Towering lilac
and at last stood before him. Why,
this was his Mildred, unchanged
we'll, hardly changed, and not at all to
him. He knew now that he would love
her until he died.
Mildred" he cried, and then he
had clasped her in his arms and her
heart was beating against his own.
And for a long time they forgot every
thing, save that they two stood there
together as they once had done.
John, dear" she whispered, raising
her head and looking into his eyes.

1T has been all a mistake, hasn't
it? It was the city that killed our
love. Dear, you don't know how hap

I regard books in my library in
much the same way that a sea captain
regards the charts in his chartroom,
writes Jack London in the Philadel-
phia North American. 1t is manifestly
impossible for a sea captain to carry
in his head the memory of all the
reefs, rocks, shoals, harbors, points,
lighthouses, beacons and buoys of all
the coasts of the world; and no sea
captain endeavors to store his head
with such a mass of knowledge. What
he does is to know his way about in
the chartroom, and when he picks UP
a new coast. he takes out the proper
chart and has immediate access to all
information about that coast. So it
should be with books. Just as the
captain must have a well equipped
chartroom, SO the student and think
er must have a we'll equipped library,
and must know his way about that Ii.

them all, but they are always there,

HOW AN INDIANA GIRL
Got Strong and Well Again at
Small Cost.

Miss Alta Abel, of West Baden, Ind,
says: 81 vas a complete wreck, al
ways tired, WORKOUT and nervous. Il
had to spend about one-third of my
time in bed and my life was not worth

and iron tonic, was recommended, and
it has done me more good than all the
medicine l ever took in my life. That
nervous and tired feeling is all gone.

strength, until I feel like another per-
SON."
Vinol is the most efficient strength
creator for such women. 1t is the
medicinal elements of the Gods livers
contained in Vinol, aided by the blood
making and strengthening properties
of tonic iron, which makes it so far
superior to all other tonics to build
up health and strength for weak,
tired, ailing women. 1t contains no
oil and has a delicious taste.
We give back your money if Vinol
does not do all that we claim.

SPRING WORK IN THE GARDEN
Early Vegetables May Be Grown Be
tween Rows of Tomato Plants
Long Before Latter Are Up.

Much of the space in the garden
may be double cropped where the soil
is kept free from weeds and hand hoe
ing is thoroughly done. To illustrate:
Sow a row of onion seeds and, about
two or three inches distant, a row of
sets, or buttons of the evergreen onion.
These will grow and be eaten before
the black seed fairly starts growth. Or
a row of onion sets and a ROY Of let.
tuce, or radish, together. A row OF
parsnip, or carrot, and a row of sets,
or lettuce. or radish. One will mature
and be used before the other, and both
are hoed and hand weeded at once as
readily as if alone. A row of sweet
peas may have early vegetables along
side it to advantage. Early vegetables
may be grown between rows of tomato
plants, melons or cucumbers, and
used, or marketed, long before their
comrades occupy the ground.
Hubbard. squash and pie pumpkins
planted among early potatoes set and
mature their fruit after the potatoes
ripen and their tops die down. Ground
sown to early peas may be set to late
cabbage or sown to winter radish or
turnips after the peas mature and are
removed. This late working the soil
kills hosts of weeds and prevents them
maturing seed after August 1, the
time when garden weeds usually ma
ture seeds.
