DO NOT NEGLECT TOOLS
Farmers Suffer Large Losses by Fall
ure to Care for implements That
Are Not In Use.

The farmer who puts away his farm
machinery without oiling and clean
ing it is certain to lose in the dete-
rioration of the machinery many times
what the time to care for it would
have been worth. Failure to take care
of farm machinery is a source of large
loss to the American farmer annually
Most farmers realize that they
would save money by taking good care
OF their machines, but neglect to do
SO, either through carelessness or in
difference. The most important step
toward having efficient machinery Is
keeping it in good repair. In spare
time, each machine should be care
fully inspected and all missing, broken
or overworn parts noted. Write the
names and numbers Of missing parts
machine.
All machines should have a general
inspection at least once a year. A
rainy day in late fall is very good for
this purpose.
Exposure to weather Injuries both
wooden, and metal parts of machines
and machinery shed should by all
means be part of the farm equip
ment. Every machine should be clean
ed oiled and housed after it has been
used.
Painting aids greatly in improving
the appearance and prolonging the life
OF machines. 1t protects both wood
and metal from the weather. Paint
should be used freely when needed.
One Of the best paints for all farm
implements is made with red lead and
linseed oil.
The use of good farm implements is
increasing rapidly in South Carolina
and farmers owe it to themselves to
be more careful of their tools. In the
year that has gone. they have learned
some important lessons in economy,
but there is probably no more practi-
cal way in which farmer can econo-
mize than by taking the proper care
OF his farm implements-repai
them. oiling them, housing them, and
painting them.

NEW YEARS DAY IN CHINA
Occasion When Whole Country Is
Painted Red-Time When All
Debts Must Be Settled.

New Year is the national payday In
China. All accounts must be squared
up at that time, and the man who
can't raise money enough to pay his
debts has to go into bankruptcy. The
laws are such that the creditor can en-
ter the debtors house and take what
he pleases if there is no settlement.
To prevent such action families club
together and make all sorts OF COM
promises to keep up the business rep
utation Of the clan. New Year is a
shops are crowded with people who
want to redeem their best clothes be-
fore the New Year. There are crowds,
also, who want to pawn other things
in order to get money to pay their
debts. Pawnbrokers receive high rates
OF interest, in which they are protect
ed by the government.
The Chinese paint the whole coun-
try red, figuratively speaking, on New
Years day, in more senses than one.
Red is the color which with them de-
notes good luck and prosperity, and
all the New Year cards and invita-
tions are on paper of that color Every
child gets it's New Years present
wrapped in red paper, and red inscrip-
tions are pasted over the doors of
the houses. These inscriptions bear
characters praying for good fortune,
wealth and happiness. and they are
posted on each side of the outer door
OF the houses. New pictures OF Chi
nese generals are put on the front
doors and the houses are secured and
made clean.-Philade!phi Inquirer.

A Good Thing

The experiment of working con.
victs on public roads in Illinois has
proven more than success, and its
scope may be widened I'm future. The
work was voluntary on the part OF
the prisoners.
1t is policy which might be fol-
lowed to advantage in many other
states, and for two very obvious rea-
sons:
First, when convicts are worked
within penitentiary walls the articles
they manufacture are sold to the
public and therefore that much Is re-
moved from the ranks Of honest labor
Second, when convicts are worked
on public roads their labOrs are OF
benefit to every citizen Of a commun-
ity without At the same time being a
detriment to some honest man who
IS in need Of bread for himself and
family.
There is every reason why convicts
should be worked on the public high
ways of this country.
America is notorious for having the
worst roads Of any civilized countr.
on earth, and yet il every convict was
put to work in road improvement it
would only be question of time
when the highways of this country
would be the best in the world.

The American Eagle seldom screams

Others can spout for week and no

and it is the first time that he has
ever been in trouble"
Judge Reed ordered Mates to pay
