When the season’s work with a ma chine has been huished it should be thoroughly cleaned, and all part* that are likely to rust should be carefully wit>ed with an oiled rag. it is a good idea to coat these parts with tallow or a 4food grade of axle grease. After carefully putting away the greased parts the implement itself should be . stored in a shed of some kind for shel ter. The farmer who takes the proper care of his implements not oniv bouses them and keeps them in good adjust ment. but he paints them occasionally I’aint closes all cracks and keeps out the moisture. It uot only preserves the wood, but the iron parte are benefited as well. It also gives the tools a much better appearance. The prosperity of **’ farmer may be estimated by the way be cares for his machinery. Poor care indicates shiftlessness. waste, lack ot energy and the necessity of buying more implements in a short time. Good care, on the other hand, indicates pro»q>erlty. development, bank d«*pos its aud long lived machinery.—H. M. Bain er. Colorado Agricultural College. Buckwheat a Valuable Crop. When one considers the many good qualities of buckwheat the wonder naturally arises why it is not grown more writes Professor Thomas Shaw in the New England Homestead. It may be grown In good form as a catch crop and on laud of medium fertility or even less than medium. It ripens its seed within a shorter period than other cereals and is in consequence not exnosed to so long a period of hazard It yields well under normal conditions in proportion to the fertility in the soil growing it. It furnishes a good food for any kind of stock grown on the farm. It furnishes a delicacy in the form of griddlecakes for rich and poor alike, and it may be made to furnish green material for plowing under more readily than almost any other plant. Notwithstanding, it is the least grown of all the cereals in the United States. Winter Feed For Hen». , Farm fowls secure plenty of green food bi spring and summer, but din ing winter it must be supplied them. It will probably make little difference what kind of green stuff, provided the flock relish it and the owner finds it convenient. Cabbage can be suspended by a string for bens to pull, says a farm writer. Mangles and beets can be split and impaled on nails. Onkxis should be chopped, potatoes and car rots cooked. Cut clover soaked in hot water, fed alone or in mash, ts excel lent. Clover and alfalfa meal can be bought. Treatment For Worm» In Hog», ♦ An excellent mixture to keep worms and other parasitic affections from the p hogs is as follows: Six bushels of corn cob charcoal, eight pounds of common salt. two quarts of air slaked lime and a bushel of nshes. Thoroughly mix ami then take one and a quarter pounds of copperas, dissolve in hot water and with an ordinary watering pot sprinkle the solution over the whole mass and again thoroughly mix. Place this solu tion in a self feeder where the hogs can reach it at pleasure. Treating Muck Sbils. Muck soils are generally acid or sour, and this acidity must lie corrected be fore they will be productive. Suitable materials for this purpose are finely ground limestone, air slaked lime, wood ashes and marl. Finely ground limestone is to be preferred to the forms commonly used, it Is effective, is more easily handled, and harm is not likely to result from the use of amounts in excess of what is needed to neutralize the acids. — Orange Judd Farmer. Drilling Oat» the Beit. A number of tests to determine which is more profitable—drilling oats with a disk drill or broadcasting has recently been made. The results were ail in favor of drilling. A stud) >f the root systems of young oats gives the reason why drilled grow much more uniform ly and therefore yield more bushels per acre than broadcasted oats. Mission of the Hog. Hogs may be regarded as an adjunct to the dairy and corn crop. There ts no special attribute about the hog that makes him a favorite. The farmer should uot keep more hogs than can be well fed. for they are heavy feed era and expensive animals to keep, es peels Uy when they are not making sat isfactory gains. Lean Hog» For Export. The day of the bog which is half solid fat Is limited. Consul Webster of Niagara Falls states that the Cana diau hog raisers and packers have been forced, through lack of demand for fat bogs, to produce the leaner bacon type, which can be sold to advantage on the British market and is suitable for the export trade. I COOKERY NOT ALL. THE EARTH AS A MOON “Woman’» Dutie» Outside Home,” Say» Mra. Belmont. Our World a» It Appear» to Vtnui and Our Own Moon. Talking to the Associated Clubs of Domestic Science, at the Plaza hotel, iu New York city, recently. Mrs. O. (1. P. Belmont argued that it was time for women to go on from cookery to woman suffruge aud to relieve men who are now “overburdened" with the weight of public affairs. However im portant domestic science might be, it was, she maintained, only a founda tion upon which the real fabric of life was waiting to be reared. “As I understand it,” she said, “your object is to place the home on a scien tific basis. Whatever genius has in vent« d. research has discover«*«! and logic deduced, you in your wisdom have accepted and applied for the health and development of the liome nnd the family. This is, however, what I should call tlie infancy or the kinder garten of existence. It is tlie only way, the right way, to begin; it 1» the only foundation on which we can build. But 1 claim that the hour ha come when these stones are demand ing a visible structure. 1 mean by till-- that if we simply produce a home by gienically perf«*ct and a race physical ly superior we are not meeting tlie ol> ligations of the new century.

"You know that you can do and d<< well the things that men leave undone You know that these undone things affect your home aud the lives of your children. I ask, then, what right havi you to sit ih your homes beautiful, leaving the welfare of the communit) to overburdened men?

The •ie»t time for churning 1» just before acidity becomes apparent. it Should Be Budt In Center of the Town and Should Carry a Supply of Good Substantial Food» — School house and Clubhouse Necessary. Iu a talk before the Civic club of Arlington, N. J., Mrs. Mary Pattison, president of the New Jersey Woman's Federated Clubs, pictured the ideal village iu the following manner: "Let us take an imaginary Journby,” she said, "to a slightly elevated spot somewhere and build an ideal village or town. Let there be a clean, wide sweep of greensward shaded with trees and cut with winding roads, a few hills and-a cool, picturesque valley to one side, through which a clear, happy rivulet curls its way untainted with sewage and disease carrying insects ami unspoiled by the dumps of refuse usually deposited along such banka. Let us see there instead grass, flowers and birds. “On one of these hills near by we find a roomy schoolhouse, than which nothing better is known, where the children are being educated in the real things of life, iu conimou sense and In industrial and organic matters, with no danger of forced mentality. "Here we find usefulness with beau ty of method. As a result horse or coarse play and disrespect are un known. Individual and careful think ing are encouraged, and appreciation is developed, with charm of manner and the cultivation of the healthiest bodies. "In the center of the town, near a few choice shops and offices, we find an ally and well built market where only the best and purest foods can be bought, not necessarily luxuries, but the substantial varieties that make blood aud muscle strong ami of good quality- a place where It Is not suffi cient to simply label the contents of packages, but where it is necessary to tell which beefsteak has bad its juice extracted, what fish and fowl have been embalmed, what animals died in disease and what fruit has bad its natural fermentation stopped by the use of preservatives. "It is, in fact, a place to buy food where one is not in danger of oue’s life or. worse, one’s health at every turn. "Let us perhaps build two churches in our beautiful village, although that may be one too many, but let there be one opening the gate ot heaven through the intellectual door or under the portal of the understanding where reason reigns and science proves. Then a little farther on let us find another, bringing God on earth through the aid of the emotions, with the heart as the knower and the senses trained to love. Let them both be beautiful, but let us go first to one and then the other till In the future they unite. “Our community is made up of homes, cheerful, normal, happy homes, individual iu expression, co-operate in management and lovely in design. where the atmosphere is the guilding element, where uothing is held that gives more trouble than worth, where harmony, health and happiness leave not a crevice for hell to peek through. "And now a little walk to the right, and opposite the park we are led to the village clubhouse, a fine pleasure edifice equipped for all ages, it is a place where play and gymnastic» are supervised, a place for games of all sorts, with rooms for music, art. danc ing, etc., and for that foolish frivolity without which society would lose its charms. "May we keep our hand to the wheel and help to usher in the new village home if uot in detail, at least iu esseuce—a home where one might free the spirit by just living, where doctors and lawyers are the minimum in number and teachers are the maxi mum. a place where only health is known and where the whole air thrills with life."

If we could be transported to the planet Venus a peculiar set of views could be obtained qf our earth which would enable us to see ourselves, to some extent at k-Bst, us others see us. Venus is about the same size as the earth, is somewhat closer to the sun and has im.re atmosphere than the earth. When the earth and Venus are ueares. i< ,ether they are, of course, on the same side of the sun. and in conse quence of this the earth does not see more than a vejy small part of the Veuus illuminated, but Venus, on the other hand, see» all of one side of the earth illuminated and consequently is able to claim she has something th it takes the place of a moon anyhow, for the earth to Veuus nt this time looks very large and bright, almost as much so as our moon does to us. If we could see all the illuminated surface of Venus on these occasions we should have quite a distinct sec- ond moon, When we do see all of her illuminated surface she is on the <>p- posite side of the sun from us and con sequently ut an enormous distance, yet she is so brilliant as to keep us from seeing her surface distinctly. But to our own moon we appear in the best light ns n moon. A full earth as seen from the moon, according to Professor Todd and other astronomers, is a very inspiring sight on the moon's surface. It can at once be seen why this is necessarily true. The earth is several times larger than the moon and would appear in the beaveus as a disk about fourteen times the size of the moon. It would shine with prob ably a variable light, due to the shift ing clouds on the earth, though the light, of course. Is reflected from the sun. and the reflecting is done in part by the tip|>er surfaces of the clouds. The outlines of the continents of the earth appear very clearly to the moon as if they were formed of papier mac he on a globe. Cities of compara tively large size could be made out with ease in case people were there to make them out. The intensity of the reflected earth light would be as much as fourteen moons and would enable the Selenites, if such they are. to read or work in comparative day light.—St. Louis liepublic. GOLD HIDERS. Infesting the snow clad slopes of sun kissed Ahorqueta. "the Sentinel.'' one of the highest peaks in tlie Sierra de San Marta, in northern Colombia, is one of the strangest tribes of in dians known to ethnologists—the Au roiiuacos. Their name means "hidden gold.” or "gold hiders.” and that is Just what they are. They worship the yellow metal, dividing their devo tions betweeu gold and the sun. The Aurohuaco will do anything for gold. Murder is uothing if it gains him the tiniest bit of gold. He works for any kind of money. When lie gels enough silver or copper or. paper mon- ey he changes it for gold and then hurries with it to his mountain fast- nesses. there to hide it, and come back for more. Why he wants it is impos sible to say. No Aurohuaco ever was known to part either with gold dust or gold coin. His neighbors, the Talemancas. are wholly different. They regard gold or emeralds, also found in Colombia, as simply a medium of exchange for wills ky or aguadiente. The Talemanca is superstitious to an absurd degree and wears a wild turkey's foot on a ne -k lace as a talisman against sickness and bad luck. lie worships fire as the cleansing and redeeming god. In this favored region is plenty of alluvial gold which only needs to be taken out to make the republic of Co lombia rich and powerful. But the Aurohuacos spoil the best laid plans of men who come there to mine. The) let men dig nnd dig and wear their fingers away washing the precious yel low grains out of the earth, and then they murder the miners for their treas ure. This has been done countless times.
