Hammered Cast Steel.

Tools of the Finest Quality Are Of
Hammered Cast Steel.
HandsawS are made of three differ
INT kinds of material sheet iron. shear
steel and cast steel Those Of the bet
:er quality are of the last mentioned
siMd and will serve to exemplify the
'thers says the Blacksmith and Wheel
wright. lngots of cast steel are first
rolled or miled into sheets having the
proper thickness for saws. and these
sheets are cut up into strips by means
Ola machine, which is. in fact. pair
of shears mounted on frame. The
rut edges are made smooth by apply.
ing them to a grindstone. and one Of
the edges is then provided with the
teeth which give it the character of a
saw. This is effected BY a kind of
punching. There is small press hay-
ing a triangular punch at It's lower ex-
tremity. A man holds the saw beneath
it and by the action Of his eight hand
brings down the punch forctbly on the
surface of the steel, cutting out little
piece equal to the intended size Ut the
teeth He then moves the saw a little
and makes a second tooth in similar
way. proceeding thus from end to end
OF the saw with great quickness. The
size and form, of the punch depend on
the kind OF tooth to be made and vary
greatly in different instances.
f After the teeth are cut the saws are
hardened by being heated in kiln or
oven and suddenly cooled by being
plunged into tank Of oil. They are
then slightly heated again, and while
vet warm they are hammered at varf-
Gus parts to remove any crookedness
which the previous process may have
given them. Next they are rested on
polished steel anvil and hammered re-
peatedly over every part. by which the
substance Of the steel is made uniform
" dense, even and regular.
Then comes the grinding This con
sists in attaching the saw to fiat
board and applying it to the edge OF d
grlndstone SO as to grind of all rough
ness and make the saw perfectly Hat.
Another hammering is required to re-
move the twisting caused by the grind
ing and another beating to restore the
temper. Another but very slight grind
ing IS given to remove the hammer
marks, after which the set is given to
the teeth that is. the lateral bending
which every tooth Of q saw presents.
The workman rests the saw dat on q
smooth anvil and By means Of q small
hammer held in the right hand he gives
blow to every alternate tooth. there
by bending It out Of the straight siide.
He then turns the saw over and strikes

There is growing feeling against
elaborate funerals. Such services as
were held for the late lamented Mrs.
Woodrow Wilson are better express
i've of present day sentiment. Her
conspicuous position and the warm
admiration excited by her sweet and
generous life would have furnished
plenty of excuse for stately formali-
ties. But these exercises were re-
stricted to Scripture readings and a
brief prayer. Only three carriages
were allowed to join the last sad
journey to the railroad station.
There used to be an element of
competition in funerals. The longest
line of carriages and the highest
stack Of flowers were desired, and
not merely as an expression of grief.
It was an assertion and demonstra-
ton Of the position in the community

Innumerable complaints are heard
every day in our city about the de-
plorable condition of the country
roads, and after jogging over them in
a car we are led to believe that all
criticism is not unfounded. Some
pieces of road are putting on an ac-
ceptable appearance, but they can
hardly be said to be the rule We are
told that there are men who are
bound by contract to care for their
road, but evidently the contract is not
held inviolable
But, when we are faying the keep
ers of the country roads let US not
neglect our own local interests. The
old adage of starting the reformation
right at home might we'll be applied
In this case. Almost every street
and crossing in the city is in poor
condition, even the main avenue is an
uncomfortable thoroughfare. Let us
improve conditions at home first and
then extend our good Offices to other
fields.

The war of the nations has truly a
sad aspect, but in this part Of the
country, certain optimism has taken
hold of the minds of some people due
to the promise of high prices for
farm products. Prices did in fact
take a sudden jump at the first re-
port, but whether the cause Of this is
only psychological remains to be seen.
In case exports are cut off or even
lessened it will not bid well for grain
market prices. But if the war con-
tinues, food for the warning nations
can only come from this continent,
for those engaged in the conflict are
unproductive. If prices go up it
will benefit the producer, but on the
other hand the consumer will suffer.
Already there have been complaints,
foodstuffs took a sudden leap that
the effect was too noticeable. Presi-
dent Wilson has ordered an investiga-
tion which may reveal some interest
ing conditions. One matter of inter
est occurred Immediately, according
to newspaper reports. AS soon as the
investigation was inaugurated-pres
to! meat prices in Chicago took a
sudden drop. The foreign and domes-
tic commerce bureau has been inquir-
ing into conditions for some time and
before long will be Forthcoming with
interesting details.

A hundred things happen every

can, but he is only human being,
not omniscent, omnipresent, or en-
dowed with the gift of foreknowledge
and therefore cannot foretell the oc-
currence of an event. And yet you
often wonder why this thing was not
published. An editor always does his
best to give all the news and is al
ways glad to publish any item of

ticise an editor be sure that you have
done your part in furnishing him the
particular item that you failed to find

eighth of an inch wide. The shell is

i 1t is seen at a glance that the acre
age of corn in the state has grown
from less than 100000 in 1900 to
close to 100000 in 1914, and the in
creasing impetus is going to add
largely to the acreage.
Larger Yields Possible
| There is another thing also that
will add to the acreage. This is the
| fact that more-much more-corn
can be grown to the acre in Minneso-
ia than was supposed. While few
years ago the yield was much lower
than today and fuctuated a great
deal, it is now large, ranking with
that of the best corn states, and is
growing. More corn to the acre means
more dollars to the acre, and more
dollars will induce men to grow more
corn. Moreover, there is constantly
increasing demand for corn as silage,
and for its immense value in the crop
rotation system adapted to most of
the areas of Minnesota.
But it is worth while to note the
average yields for recent years. Since
1908 it has not been below 80 bushels.
It is doubtful whether any other
state can show such a record. And
last year the average to the acre was
400 bushels, which was close to the
top for the whole list of states, Wis
consin, with much smaller acreage,
alone being higher.
Publicity Has Aided.
The thing that has done this-in
creased Minnesota's corn acreage so
fast and built up it's average yield in
SO short a time has been the propa-
ganda for more corn and for better
corn, the center of which has been the
College of Agriculture and the Ex-
pertinent Station of the University
Of Minnesota.
Remember seed corn week is COM
ing, and make ready.
