Is nearly 20 feet, which is sufficient
for a binder in field condition or for
a two-horse spring tooth horse rake.
One end of the building is intended
for a machine shop, to be partitioned
off by enclosing the first bent. This
gives a shop 16 feet square for a black

ing will be arranged according to the
mechanical inclination of the farmer.
A real, genuine, s~ure-enough farm re-
pair shop is a rather elaborate me-
chanical proposition. There is a good
brick chimney to carry off the smoke
and gases from the blacksmith fire,
and the chimney should have a sepa-
rate flue for a heating stove. Farm
repair work is done mostly during the
winter months, when a fire in the
shop is necessary for comfort and eff
cheney. A person cannot work to adj
vantage with cold fingers. Paint re-
quires moderate heat to work to ad-
vantage. Painting farm implements
is a very important part of repair
work.
A good shop arrangement is to have
an iron work bench across the end,
lighted by a wide window, built in
shop fashion. In the far corner
against the back wall is a good place
for a woodworking bench. 1t is too
mussy tt have the blacksmith work
and the carpenter work mixed up.
Also different styles of vises are
needed. A high, heavy iron wise for
blacksmith work and a low-down wise
that is flush with the top of the bench
for carpenter work. Besides the forge
and anvil, the farmer needs a good
drill press. The upright pattern that
bolts to a post is most satisfactory.
Room is needed in the front and at
the right and left.hand sides Of the
drill, with the post at the back. 1t
often happens that g farmer wants to
drill holes through a long piece Of
iron, and this arrangement permits
passing it through from end to end.
Quite a number Of hand blacksmith
tools are needed. A partial list would
include about four pairs of tongs of
different shapes and sizes, a black
smith hammer, one lighter riveting
hammer with q fiat peen, q sledge
hammer, an anvil hardy, one pair of
horseshoe nippers, and a small assert
ment each of drills, cold chisels,
punches and files. This outfit would
not be expensive and It Is sufficient
to do a great many jobs Of repair
work. 1t may be added to at any time
when other tools are really needed.
The farm carpenter tool outfit may
be less expensive. because fewer tools
are needed. A good crosscut hand
saw, having nine teeth to the inch,
will be found useful for farm work.
A good hand rip saw is more neces-
cary on q farm than In town, because

Miatake Somewhere.

A helpful friend recently requested
us to write a funny piece about a
game we used to play in boyhood's
glad days, called hiding in the barn"
He alleged that part of the gang hid
and the rest searched for them, and
when they were found all hands
Jumped and yelled most gleefully. This,
he tried to remind us. was very, very
funny. Either our memory is failing
or we have lost our sense OF humor,
for as we recollect 1t, our father did
the hiding and we jumped and yelled.
And it does not seem amusing to US,
even yet.--Kansas City Star.

Yankton.-A gift of $4,000 from an
eastern donor has been secured by
President Warren of Yankton college,
for the college endowment campaign
About a month ago A. j. Abbott OF
Bon Homme made a gift of $4,000 in
addition to the gift Of $4,000 he had
made two years ago. Mr.. Abbott's
gift of $4,000, together with other
amounts that have been coming in
through the year, bring the total thus
far secured up to nearly $50 900, and
renewed hope is felt that the remain
ing 100000 may be raised and the
goal Of 100000 reached the first OF

power woodworking machinery 4

power Woodworking machinery is
within reach Of the town workmen
A farmer needs two or three naii
hammers, together with the hard and
fast rule that III belongs exclusively
In the shop and must be left there.
The farm shop should also be sup
piled with a good brace and a set Of
bits 6-16ths to 1 inch. Pod bits are
better up to and including Y inch.
A jack plane and a draw shave, with
some smaller odd tools, will complete
the necessary carpenter outfit to start
with.
A supply Of red paint and two or
three brushes Of different sizes are
necessary to complete a repair job on
a farm implem INT or machine. Theirs
is only II kind of red paint for a
farmer to buy, and that is pure red
lead. 1t penetrates better when mixed
with pure raw linseed oil, but boiled
oil is better for some purposes. The
word pure" in this connection means
a good deal to a farmer. Brick dust
resembles red lead very closely, but
brick dust is not much good to protect
either wood or iron from rusting. Cot
tonseed oil resembles linseed oil, but
it won't make good paint.
A farm implement shed, built and
equipped in this way, is a strong in
ducement to keep the tools and ma
chinery in good working order. 1t
means a great deal at seeding time
in the spring, when every minute
should count, to have the tools all
ready to hitch on to and to have them
in condition to do their very best
work. A farmers time in winter is
we'll spent by getting things ready
for the busy season in the spring.
Farming is largely mechanical. A
farmer, to be successful, must under
stand his machines and have mechani-
cal ingenuity enough to keep them in
good proper condition to do their work
as the manufacturer intended.
The illustration shows how the shed
is built of light timbers with plenty
Of large doors to get the machinery
In and out easily.
A word of caution in regard to the
front of the building may be neces-
sary. When a front is all doors, there
is little room for bracing. 1t is a
good plan to make the door posts
three or four feet longer than the il
lustration indicates, and to extend
them down into the ground. This
should be done by digging holes larger
than the posts, then set the posts with
concrete to make them solid and to
preserve them from rotting. 1t takes
the place of stills. This makes a very

subject Of building work on the farm, for
the readers of this paper. On account of
his wide experience as Editor, Author and

A shed to hold farm implements
may not look as important as some
Of the other buildings, but it is neces-
sary to prevent waste. The depreci-
alton in the value Of farm nipple
ments and machinery is about 10 per
cent per year under good care When
the machines are left to weather and
rust in the rain and wind the loss
is simply ruinou3. More machinery is
required on farms than formerly, and
1t is not a question whether a farmer
"a afford a machine shed or not; the
only problem is to find out how to
build it and how large to build it.
In the first place the implement
shed should be big enough TO hold all
farm tools and it should be we'll built
and tight enough to keep out the wind
and small animals, including chickens.
The plan shown herewith is 16 feet
in width and 60 feet in length. The
width is all right for any length shed.
1t may be built shorter and the length
continued at any time if more room
is needed. The doorways provide
headroom sufficient for the highest
machines, and the width of the widest
opening when the double doors are
opened and the center post removed

OSTEOPATHS IN
FIGHT TO WIN A
STATE LICENSE
Court Reserves Decision in an
Issue That Involves a Num-
Der of Persons.

Argument on the return of a rule
TO show cause why a writ of manda-
mus should not issue, compelling the
State Board of Medical Examiners to
grant osteopathic licenses to certain
applicants, was heard at the Court
House late yesterday afternoon by
Justices Minturn, Parker and Kalisch,
of the Supreme Court. Decision was
reserved
Testimony was taken under the rule
during August and the early part of
this month, and was made the basis
of argument by counsel yesterday.
This testimony was to show that the
New Jersey College of Osteopathy, of
Passaic, of which the applicants for
licenses were graduates, had sold its
diplomas for $25 apiece.
Former State Senator j. Warren
Davis, counsel for the applicants who
obtained the rule to show cause
Edward Kirk Stretch, Frederick w
Collins, Andrew Victory and j. Whit
mroe Barnett-contended that the
State board had no option but to
grant the licenses, when the applicant
had filed an affidavit that he was
graduate of a school that required
personal attendance and had filed
his diploma with the board.
Josiah Stryker, of the attorney
generals office, representing the
State Medical Board, contended that
the board had the right to investigate
to determine whether the school, from
which the applicant had graduated,
was one which required personal at
tendance. In the cases of the four
osteopaths who are now seeking the
mandamus, and more than a score Of
others who are in the same fix and
awaiting the outcome of the proceed
ings, 1t was alleged that the Passaic
school did not require personal at
tendance, and, as a matter of fact,
had simply desk room in Passaic.
Charles Hood, counsel for the New
Jersey Osteopathic Society, which is
upholding the position of the State
Board of Medical Examiners, also
took part in the argument.

STATE JEWELERS.
PLAN CAMPAIGN

Ii has been decided by the eXecu-
tive committee of the New Jersey
Retail jewelers. Association of this
city that the campaign against NY
by-night" and fake auction iewelry
houses will be taken up this fall with
renewed vigor. The jewelers. will CO.
operate with the Newark Advertising
Club In making jewelry takers shun
Newark and suburban towns. This
action was taken at the first fall meet
ing of the executive committee, held
here this week.
Jean r. Tack, president Of the New
Jersey Retail jewelers. Association
and second vice-president of the
American National Retail jewelers.
Association, presided at the meeting,
which was attended by jewelers. from
Newark, Elizabeth, Somerville, Jer-
sey City and other New Jersey towns.
The evening was given over in part
to o. discussion as to how bost to fight
the fake jeweler and crooked jewelry
auctions.
The latest jewelry styles were dis
cussed, and the members of the as
sociation decided to cooperate in
nation wide campaign whic'i has been
launched to educate the American
woman as to the appropriate wearing
of jewelry. President Tack pointed
out that the American woman is now
beginning to realize that jewelry ap-
propriate for a travelling gown is as
out of place on an afternoon dress as
on a sport suit, and that the woman
who would be "chic" must be as care
full in the selection of her jewelry
as she is In the style of her new hat.
Bills now before Congress aimed
to better conditions In the jewelry
trade were discussed and dinner
was served during the evening.
A campaign has been started -
form local associations in towns out
side of Newark where the jewelers.
have no round table clubs.
