editorial Oomment)

Our new prohibitions measure
proposes to limit the human
thirst to one quart every IS con-
secutive days to a half gallon
shipment each month. Two
years hence. perhaps, we will
have prohibition bill putting
the limit at one pint per month.
In 1920 we may expect a bill
fixing the limit at one drink per
week. And no doubt it will al
so prescribe whether that drink
shall be taken straight or mixed.
We are not protesting against
this restrictive legislation, being
a total abstainer, but it does
seem that our prohibition friends
while displaying so much zeal,
ought to consider some of the
common sense phases Of the
question.
For instance, why limit the
quantity and say nothing about
the qualityg Even a rrohibi-
ZIONIST ought to know that there's
a vast difference in brands of
whiskey, and that something
ought to be done towards improv-
ing the quality of the stuff.
Why fix the limit at a half
gallon when it is possible to buy
certain brands that, after imbib-
ing just one drink, a man is
seized with an irresistible yearn-
ing to 60 out and chunk brick
bats at his grandmother's tomb
stone, with one drink of another
brand makes him shed tears of
gratitude on the shirt bosom of
his bitterest enemy.
In other words, gentlemen of
the Legislature, if you are going
to enact constructive legislation.
the question of quantity is entitled
to just as much serious consid-
Grafton as that of quantity. You
have been VIGOROUSLY negligent
in dealing with this phase of the
matter. Pure food laws feed
inspection statutes, and kindred
measures galore have been put
to the law books, presuma bly,
for the protection of the people
but nary a syllable has been
written to improve the brand of
liquor consumed by the people of
our state. Persons who ought
to know whereof they speak SOL
emnly declare that, because OF
your negligence in this regard,
the qualify of liquor sold iii
Mississippi has been steadily
growing from bad to worse until
it is now next to impossible to
buy a brand that is not mixed
with red ink, furniture polish,
hair oil and aqua fortis. One
drink of that sort of stuff, if
poured on couple of dead cats
wouldimmediately set them to
fighting each other.
Get your minds off the ques-
tion of quantity, gentlemen. and
give some serious consideration
to the matter of quality.

LACK INTEREST IN BREEDING
Man Who is Responsible for Greatest
Sport in World Falling Into
Decay in America.

"The man who goes out to the race
track, bets on q horse and shows no
interest in the breeding, even IL his
favorite wins, is of no use to the
sport, of no assistance to the breed
ing industry and does not love a
horse"
That in nutshell, expresses the
views of Robert S. Sievier, the fa-
nous English horseman, now visiting
America for the purpose of acquaint
ing himself with the methods of Amer
lean stud farms and the future of rae
ing as a sport.
Moreover" explained Mr.. Sievier,
"the kind of man mention is the one
who is responsible for the greatest
sport in the world falling into decay
in America. A person who is not in
terested in the breeding of horses has
no real interest at a race meet. He
is merely a gambler.
"By that / do not mean to say that
men ought not to bet on horse races.
Men always have bet on their favor
lite horses and always will Without
this element the sport would lose
much of its zest, but betting should
not be paramount. Interest in breed
ing is what denotes a true lover of
the horse"

is nearly 20 feet, which is sufficient
for a binder in field condition or for
two-horse spring tooth horse rake.
One end of the building is intended
for machine shop, to be partitioned
off by enclosing the first bent. This
gives shop 16 feet square for a black
smith shop and general repair work.
The machine shop part of the build
ing will be arranged according to the
mechanical inclination of the farmer
A real, genuine, sure-enough farm re-
pair shop is rather elaborate me-
chanical proposition. There is good
brick chimney to carry off the smoke
and gases from the blacksmith fire,
and the chimney should have sepa-
rate fiue 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 adj
vantage Painting farm implements
is 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 good place
for a woodworking bench. 1t is too
mussy to 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 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 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 farmer wants to
drill holes through 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 fiat peen, a sledge
hammer, an anvil hardy, one pair of
horseshoe nippers, and small assert
ment each of drills, cold chisels,
punches and files. This outfit would
rot be expensive and it is sufficient
to do 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-
sary on farm than in town, because

There was a spoon in the kettle. and

A shed to hold farm implements
may not look as important as some
of the other buildings, but 1t is neces
sary to prevent waste. The depreci-
alton in the value of farm imple-
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 ruinous. More machinery Is
required on farms than formerly. and
1t is not question whether a farmer
can afford machine shed or not: the
only problem is to find out hoW to
build it and how large to build 1t.
In the first place the implement
shed SHOULD be big enough to hold all
farm tools and it ahould be well built
and tight enough to keep out the wind
and small animals, including chickens
The plan shown herewith is 16 feet
In width and go feet in length. The
width is all right for any length shed.
II may be built shorter and the length
continued at any time IL 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
