Birmingham Ago-Her- kid Farm Mechanic. Every farm should havo ji work shop. Tho building may bo largo or small. It is not necessary to havo It very expensive. The tools may be few or many, but what there aro should be good. No man can do good work with poor tools, and good tools cost but lit tle more than poor ones. A building 10 by 12 feet will answor for a black smith shop with a small vise bench m one corner. If this is fitted with a good chimney, forgo, anvil, hammer, tongs and good steel vise, considerable blacksmlthlng work can be dono to ad vantage. There should bo a small stove to make the shop comfortable in winter. This is vory important, because there is more tlmo to work in a shop in tho winter, and you can't work with black smith's toolB in a frosty atmosphere. Carpenter's work is different. A carponter'a bonch may be placed against the side of tho building and covered with a shed roof, for, if neces sary, carpenter work may bo done out side If you have a covered place for the bench and tools. A much better arrangement is to have a blacksmith shop in ono end of a larger building and a carpenter shop In the other end, with a partition bo tweon. There should be no shavings lying about a blacksmith shop; there Is too much danger from Are. For an other reason, tho two kinds of work do not Jlbo well togother. It Is com paratively eaBy to keep a blacksmith shop in order, but there is a great deal of litter about a woodworking shop, and a farmor never finds time to keep such things neatly in order. In buying woodworking tools tho best aro tho cheapest. It is poor econ omy to buy cheap tools. Not many are needed for common repair work, and a good kit mny bo had for a few dollars. Instruction books on mechanics mny holp a good deal. The principles may be studied out aud applied In tho shop, Tho boys on tho farm tako up such things easily and often make good mechanics.

The Indian corn crop for 1003, amounted to 2,643,000,000 bushels. The crops of three years have exceeded this, but only the crop of one year (1006) exceeded it very much. The Value of tho crop is estimated at $1, 615,000,000. The price of corn is ex ceptionally high. Thero are only two years In which the farm price of this crop was as high as it is for this year, In 1881 the price was 63.6 cents; in 1901, when thero waa only two-thirds vof an ordinary crop, the price was 60.5 cents. Tho total value of this crop 1b by far the highest ever reach ed. The crop of 1902 was worth a Ml Hon dollars, and the crops of 1904, 1905 and 1906 were worth $100,000,000 more; the great Increase of $300,000,- 000 over the crop of 1902 was made in 1907, and now the increase Is $600,000, 000 equal to tho gold in the treasury of a rich nation. raclclnir the Fleece.
