Care of Farm Machinery.
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.

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. The)
demand a larger conception than can
be realized by tlie limited care of tin
individual. They exteml to the <*otn-
muiuty. to the m*«.*ds of society at
large, and I cannot admit that a wo
man's duties are limit«*d to the four
walls of lier home any more than a
man's to his business earoer.
"There is the commonwealth to be
considered, the iwditical household t<
be regenerate«!. 1 know that this never
can lie brought aliout except throngh
the assistance of woman. The nece»
sity for tlie power which she will
bring is being forced upon the nation
and the recognition of it is inevitable,
i appeal to encli woman here individu
ally, and 1 ask her if she is not con-
stantl.v realizing how her natura i
forces are dwarfed by her iuferioi
status in public life.
"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? In tlie name of
woman suffrage I ask you to conic
forth, secure your right as citizens and
with the men of your country assume
the duties of the commonwealth.”
HOUSEHOLD TALKS,

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."

who seek to help in the campaign for
woman's suffrage. It tells its OWD

THE MARKET A BIG FEATURE.
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.

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)
