It We are buried. any; Iowa Homeâ€" L Machinery costs money we all know. Each year hundreds of dollars are Spent by the farmer for tools. Much of this could be saved, which would mean increased profits. \Ve sometimes think that the manufacturer and deal- er are getting the greater share of the proceeds of the farm. \Ve would not be misunderstood in this matter. The farmer must be thoroughly pro- gressive in the use of improved mach- inery as well as in other lines of his business. He must not be slow in utilizing the better tools that the brains and push of our inventors and man ufactuerers are placing on the market for purchase. But the point is simply this: If through neglect to prOperly shelter a planter or harvester the farmer is compelled buy a new one three or four years before be otherwise would, is there not a direct loss which might be avoid- ed? True we may not be able to build expensive tool houses. but this is not necessary. A cheap shelter-will ans- wer as well. Set posts in the ground board up with rogh boards and roof board up with rough boards and roof with something cheap. Built itlarge and roomy; then as soon as the sea- son’s use of a tool is over run it into the shed. We like the idea of a shed Open on one side for adriveâ€"way into which tools can be pulled and left as conveniently as they can be left stand- ing in the yard. Then if a piece of machinery is to stand. idle but a few days it will be under shelter. \Ve have said. “Gather up the machinery." Ra- ther let me say, “Keep it gathered up." The principle upon which to act in this work is to put a tool away as soon’ as we are through with it. When: the work is done have it understood that the machine is to be placed at once in preper shelter. Other work may press upon us. but if we will persist- ently adhere to this rule we will find it the best. If we have not followed this practice and already have not all tools under shelter let us at once gather in any exposed to 'the weather and standing as an advertisement of our shiftlessn'ess. The potato cr0p is not large this year. a fact which makes it all the more necessary that growers take good care of what they have and keep them in' first-class condition for the good strong. prices that will be likely to provsil during the winter and spring. GATHER UP THE MACHINERY. A tool house located in a fence cor- ner with a three. possibly a four barb- edâ€"wire , fence for two sides. a luxur- iant growth of weeds for the other side. and nicely covered by the blue dome of heaven. may be a convenient place to store unused machinery, but we question the economy of such a structure. If it was merely a ques- tion of the easiest way to dispose of the tools we would all find it most convenient to drive into a corner, un- hitch the team. and leave the imple- ment until again wanted. Many far- mers do it, and we must suppose they have a reason for the practice. Yes. and we have seen some men who con- . sidered themselves pretty good farmers utilizing aspare corner or two on their farms in this way. They will spend several days in looking over our dif- ferent kinds of self-binders, or plows, or other implements. and figure and bicker with the different dealers to get a saving of $5 or some such sum. They go home feeling that they have shown wonderful business ability and then let the same tool stand out in the weather and lose several times what they have saved in the buying. We must bear in mind that the injury to a piece of machinery thus left ex- posed to the weather is not limited to the weather-worn wood, decayed joints and rusted irons. \Ve must also con- sider the extra wear and strain that loosened joints and rusted bearings throw upon the whole machinery. When eXposed to the hot sun the wood becomes checked and warped. Then the rains bulge out joints and ridges here and there which throw the whole machine into disorder. The farmer in his rush leaves the harvester or mower for a day or two until he gets time1 to put it into the shed. The two days lengthen into months, and when fp‘ nally he finds time to store it away the sickle has become rusty and must be ground before using again. Perhaps it is necessary to grind away more than will be worn away by the whole sea- son’s use. The platform of the har- vester becomes swollen and uneven, and next season when the farmer gets ready for harvesting the apron catches and stops, and he becomes impatient. A hatchet is the nearest tool at hand and with it he attacks the dificulty. We all know the result. The [310W Stands at the end of the field and Le- comes rusted. Five times as much work is wasted in attempting to make it run the next season as would be re~ Quired to put it away when the plow- ing was finished. And if the rust has eaten into the metal the plow Will never take the former polish. . And so we might continue. Tools built al- most entirely of iron are left expos- ed because they cannot be injured. Of- ten we notice no effect for a time, but in a few years the machine beglns to fail in different parts and.we must then begin a process of repairs, aproâ€" cess always expensive in both time and money. If any part needs renew- ing or changing all the bolts are rust- ed and must be cut and new ones put in again? \Ve have had these experi- ences and know what they mean. Why then continue such unsatisfactory practices ? PRACTICAL FARMING. STORING POTATOES. THE DURHAM CHRONICLE, Néwember 18. 1897 way.

THE CHILDREN’Sâ€" TEETH. Mothers are beginning to realize the importance of taking care of the chil- dren’s first teeth. in order to insure _a good sound _“secontl _set." It __sho_uld be remembered that when achild has twenty teethâ€"ten upper and ten lower -â€"all that are added belong to the per- manent set. which should be carefully preserved. This precaution is very im- portant. as decay in the first double teeth is sometimes allowed to progress with the idea that these are transient. and will be replaced. . Thas 18 not so. and the very first indications of decay should receive immediate attention. The children should be early taught t9 wash the teeth after each meal; and If this habit is established while they still have their first teeth. there wfllbe very lit- tle danger of their neglecting the per- manent set. The old plan of burying. or putting cabbages in trenches during the win- ter, or for winter use, has become ob- solete, and. a more simple and easy plan has been adopted. ‘Where cab- bage is grown on a large scale for shipping purposes, the best plan is to lift‘ the cabbage and stack two tiers deep and as closely as they can be plac- ed in an orchard, or wooa if conven- ient, and cover with leaves to the depth of two or three inches, the leaves to be kept in place by a slight covering of earth. In this way the heads will keep perfectly sound all winter, and they can be easily taken up as wanted for shipping. For family use cabbage can be kept in the same way, only it will not be necessary to make the sec- ond layer. It is quite important to keep them a little below the freezing point. It has been suggested to keep them in some convenient building, but this plan has always resulted in fail- ure as the dry atmosphere is fatal; cabbage must be kept moist and cool. the slightest wilting rendering it un- fit for the table. crop, and when potatoes are worth anything it is also likely to be me of the most expensive. Storage of pot;- toes or indeed of any other vegetable. in the cellar of a dwelling home in , quantities beyond the needs of inune- idiate consumption is always objec- tionable because likely to breed disease. Even with the best of care there is always more or less decay. and the family that live: over this Species of destructive fermentation, is pretty cer- tain to suffer for it, especially dur- ing the early spring. If one has any considerable quantity of potatoes or other tubers or roots to keep through the winter, an outside root cellar fur- nishes the best means ‘to preserve them. A side hill. giving rapid drain- age makes a good site for such cellar. and there are many kinds of soil where no walls other than what the dirt af- fords are necesstI‘Y- If. however. a retaining wall of some kind is neces- sary, cheap boards and poles can be used so that no great expense need too, may be of earth thrown over poles but a roof of this kind will need some sort of thatch- 1ng in order to make it shed water. It wouldbe better to have the roof made of boards that break joints. or if a more permanent structure with less regard to cost is intended. the roof may be shingled. It is impor- tant that a dry place be chosen and that it be sufficiently ditched around it, and the door should be on the south. There should be an alley way through the cellar and aventilator shaft through the roof and if the door ison a level, or nearly so, with the floor, a side hill with asouthern exposure being selected as the site there will always be good ventilation. Bins can he provided on each side of the alley way and they should be raised several inches from the ground. The sides of the bins, also, slould not be in con- tact with the walls, or they will at- tract moisture. Epouts may be placed at intervals through the roof, near the outside of the bins. through which po- tatoes may be poured into the cellar. Such a structure (an be cheaply built and will readily enough carry potatoes through until spring without sprout- ing. Some varieties of potatoes which sprout readily need to he turned over once or perhaps twice during the win- ter. There is no way to prevent sprouting except storing them in some such way as described and then using the scoopâ€"shovel to turn them over, unless one can have access to cold stor- age. With cold storage, potatoes can be kept without sprouting until Aug- ust, which is longer than is needed. stead. they shchld be oOvered only moderately at :first additional pover- ing being added as the wealth” be- comes more were Burying how- ever is one of the most inconven- ient. ways of [reserving the potato THE VENEZUELA TRI BUNAL. \V INTER] NG CABBAGE.

They find fault with. their dimmers, with the household bills, with the children and with everything else. They make sar- eastic remarks that burn and scarify the sensitive souls of their wives. They carry home the worries of business. They “take it out” of their famiiies for everything that has gone wrong in the day’s work, and some are even cowards enough to revenge upon the innocent and helpless those wrongs and affronts which they have not had Circumstances preaent' us With so many unpedimemts. one often wonders why our fellowmen should want to provide us with so many moreâ€"why they 31109111 _per_pet_uauy ‘sfay, for in- stance, ”Oh, don't do that!” when we happen to make a courteous remark to some one they do not know, or when we have a hospitable instinct or a charitable impulse they db not on the instant share.
