In 1793. for instance, the German child was hu- mored with toy guillotine for Christ mas. and Goethe wrote to his mother at Frankfort asking her to send one of these little instruments for boy friend Mme. Goethe was indignant Dear son." she wrote. "I have only one desire. and that is to give you pleasure. l will execute any command. but buy such an infamous machine of slaughter l will not in any circum- stances. If could would arrest the makers and burn such toys by the ex- ecutioner.'

This is very good time to over
haul the machinery and make all the
repairs that "home talent" can do. If
there is any blacksmithing to be done,
the smith is more liable to have time
to do the work now than when the
spring rush is on.
There is something abont the cream
check that reminds me of the old say
ing that constant dripping wears away
the hardest stone. A few good cows
well cared for will wear away a farm
er's debts in the slow but sure man.
ner that means success.
No piece Of machinery should be al
lowed to Squeak" for the want of
oiling because the squeaking means
wear and cutting that will make short
work of bearings. Don't forget that
the windmill is also a machine. A
squeaking windmill is an expensive
nuisance.
What became of the inventor who
was working on straw baler that
would bale the straw as it came from
the threshing machine? There may
be some parts ce the country where
farmers have straw to burn, but here
there are very few who have straw
to sell.
