THE FARM ‘ WORKSHOP.
The stormy and inclement weather of
winter gives a-capital chance for the
farmer to repair many of his dilapidat
ed tools, and to make many new ones
of simple construction within the reach
of small ineans and a little iueennity.
The boys, too, are always delighted
to help at any job of this kind; it gives
them a chance they relish, and sets
them thinking about other trades than
their own. The writer is familiar with
several farmers who keep a small forge,
and can set a horseshoe when in a har
ry, aud even set a tire on a wagon
wheel, if need be, and who are always
ready to pnt a new bolt in the . wagon
the plow whenever wanted. Of
coarse the number of such ingenious
fanners are few; they generally drilt in
to other trades; bat there are endless
small jobs about any large farm that
require comparitively little skill or in
genuity to dispatch in a style as good
for all practical uses as if done by a
professional mechanic.
The wood bench should be well pro
vided with good tools of the more com
mon sorts, such as three or four saws,
a brace aud set of bits, a few files of
different sires, three planes, a jack, a
joiner aud smoothing plane, a drawing
knife and spokeshave, two screw driv-
ers a dozen gimlets and half-dozen
awls, a strong wooden vise and anoth
er of iron, a dozen chisels and half a
dozen gouges.-
With these tools, costing ouly n few
dollars, the. farmer can make many cf
the simple wooden; .tools ot : the farm,
such as snow-shovels and scrapers, beet
les for splitting logs, a drag or harrow
for leveling laud, and many other thing*
that will readily suggest themselves to
careful husbandman.
Then, if oiie has si: addlers vise and
a few vihxed ends, he can very eouly
mend up broken harness;' or, if be lias
not the patience for this, he can at least
repair dilnniges by a few copper rivets
and si .punch, which should sihvsiys be
on bund for this purpose; it takes but- a
moment to make a good, strong' splice
with a tivet. aud for rough work it will
answer eveiy purpose. Therffis noth
iug ln.ndier than a few coils of copper
anil iron wire of differ.-nt sizes, and is
pair nl jiiiei'D to use them with; for at-
.'taoiiingflabels..to trees,' eradicating; .bo
rers from apple and peach trees, rnend-
iug broken tool-handies and mauy oth
er uses, a bit of wive is ’ invaluable, and'
if fin- bays btive a key to the shop they
will soon lentil how to make a rabbit
snare our of a fine piece of copper wire
fcbat will adf.rr.ys te]l; in fact, the • boys
will .appreciate the shop thoroughly,-
andt-veti if -they : do leave things in dis
order sometimes, and <jftciu break a
tool, they willgsdu in practical knowl
edge of mechanics far uione ; than they
destroy, and will dud useful occupation
for many an hour which might be -oth
erwise lost in idleness or mischief.
There are a,few owners of large farms
who have a natural gift for such things
who .will find.it worth while to buiid a
forge anil do considerable smith’s work
on the fstrm. There is great conveni
ence in it to one who is at a distance
from auy smithy, suid tlnare is great-
fascination in wonskiiig in metals for
for those who have patience and skill
for such things, but it is a good deal
more of trade than many suppose, re
quiring consider lble practice to be
proficient in it, and most farmers will
ouly find it useful to have a good vise,
small anvil, and a few bolts and rivets
of different sizes to do cold work witli,
such aa mending a hoop on a washtub,
etc.

Two or three hundred Years ago ser

and short stories are asked for. Tbs
Christian Union says;
In the seventeenth century sermons
were from two or three hoars long.
Hour-glasses were -need instead of
clocks. A nonconfoiTmet-anee preached
on-drunkeunes, and had exhausted his
usual tune. Holding the hour-glass in
his left hand he exclaimed: “I know
yon are good -feHo ws, so let us have an
other glass.” .
Barrows and. Smith preached long
sermons. When the latter was once
preaching before the coart, his whole
congregation fell asleep. The speaker
by dun of jond calls finally succeeded
in:waning due of the losds, pilose nap
was sounder and more noisy than the
re«t, and exclaimed, “My lord, I am
sorry to interrupt your repose-, bnt I
must, beg of yon that yon will not

A Danish clergyman, finding most
of his -congregation asleep, took
dhsrttlecock from bis pocket, attracting
the -attention of those who were still
awake, who jogged those who were
sleeping. Tbe whole congregation im
mediately looked with the greatest as

The best remedy for bleeding at the
nose, as given by Dr. Gleason, is the
vigorous motion of the jaws, us if in
the art of mastication. In the case
of a child, a small wad of paper should
be pnt In the mouth,, and the child
instructed to chew it hard. It is the
motion of the jaws that stops the flow
of blood. This remedy is simple, but
it has never been known to fail.
To Make Mats fob the Table.—
Take small sticks of black walnut and
pine; plane them down to one-sixteenth
of an inch in thickness and one-half
inch iu width. Place them alternately
and glue to a piece of heavy cloth. They
can be cut round; square, diamond-
shaped, or any other pretty way, and,
when varnished, make quite a pretly
ornamental mat.
Wavxbs.—Melt a quarter of a pound
of butter and mix wi'h a half si pint of
milk, a tablespoonful. of salt, a wine
glass of wine, three beaten eggs and
sufficient sifted flonr to enable you to
roll them out easily. They should be
rolled very ;thin.j cut into small circu-

MV “J. Y. C.,” of Hsiddonfield. N.
J., noticing the coiumunic-Aion from a
city in tlie January nnmbej. on poul
try-keeping, sends ns the following ac
count of his experience:—On leaving the
city, one of my first concerns, after get
ting well settled in this village, was to
obtain a few fowls, arid having read a
good deal about the different breeds, I
fixed np the Light Brahmas. I foniid
them good layers, and good mothers;
but we soon tired of'them for the table,
the meat being soaiew hat coarse and
stringy. I then procured eggs of my
neighbors, and soon hstd a mixture of
several different ’kinds—smaller, more
compact, and the meat more fender and
solid. I have adhered to this plan for
several yesirs, and havo good healthy
fowls, never having cholera, gapes, or
any other epidemic among them. We
winter about 20, and start off in the
spring with some 60 chicks, more or
less. « We are scarcely ever without
eggs, though less plentiful, of course,
at some seasons than at others. Hens
must have rest, and their moulting sea
sons when they do not lay for a short
time. I feed principally, eorn and
wheat screenings, with usually a hot
mess in the-middle of the day, consist
ing of cracked corn, middlings, brau,
pretty well mixed with red pepper,
which we raise for the purpose, and
scraps from-the table. On this they
thrive well, and look fine. The space
allowed them is a lot’ of about 45 feat
square,! onjwhich grow two apple trees,
and oh which’is thoir houso for shelter,-

Caiumvxs.—With the-advent of cold
weather there -aTe certain kinds of
sweets which are popular, among which
are cara-mels. The following is an ex
cellent-hud-a.' reliable reeeipt; Three
ponnds of brown sugar, one-half pound
of butter, two tablespoons of molasses,
same quantity of vinegar, one enp of
cream' of milk. Boil twenty-five min
utes; when off the fire add vanilla.
Beat ten minutes to granulate, dr if
crisp is pneiaiKod, do not beat.
'Hulded.'Cobn.—Take white corn, if
you can got it; none bnt plump corn;
shell and boil it iu weak lye until the
hull is broken'; then clesin off the lye,
fill the kettle, or thru the. «orn into a
dish pan; take your hands add rub the
corn well; wash in several waters (tlie
old way ; is nine rimes), bnt six -will do.;
then clean yonr kettle and return to tbe
farmer; and it only requires confined sfoveppht iiTptSnty of water' and boil
until very tender, which usually takes
almofftrlfe enfire dky. As the " water
boils away aad more. It is bettor to
add hot water than cold.

The Czar wished, to shoot a bear. . : A

peasants surrounded it, and word of its
whereabouts was sent to the imperial

tnre eontrived tn slip through the ring
and escape. What'was to be done?
That the Emperor of all the Enssias
.should come and find no game would
never «to. A happy idea seized one of
the foresters. Regardless of -cost, a
tsime bear was procured m the nick of
time, turned loose within the ring, and
now all wns ready. The circle: closed
in; Brnin was discovered at tbe foGt of

Pebsimmons:—This fruit will be appre
ciated this season where the apples have,
been a failnre, and if good varieties
should be gathered carefully and laid
on shelves in a cellar t hey will keep
good for months. It nill be well, liow-
ever, to know -whether it be a good va
riety before storing away, as some are
ro utterly worthies as not to be worth
gathering, while a good one is really
defiicious.
Many persons suppose that a per
simmon is a persimmon, and that all
are alike. This is a great mistake, for
there are various grades.
The three essential qualities in a per

tiveness of the free Shaald be also tak<;n
into account.

awake at, daybreak, good-natured, with
a keen appetite for a wholesome; break
fast. Nutritions, plain food, at regular
hours, with no candy or stimulants, and
free bathing, help the system to ward
e , off many prevalent chijdred’s ailments,
and-tp bear with less danger,the few that
must necessarily come, to the majority
of little ones. The child that is just
given a little confectionery, or any un
suitable food, then rocked to sleep
should -cause, no surprise at waking
peevish and feverish. It is simply the
yesult of imaginary affection and want
of knowledge on the part of the one iu
charge. It will certainly pay in the end
to search diligentiy for the cause wheu
a little child is proverbially cross.--

A bail way locomotive lasts from
thirty-five to forty years. Someiiines
however, as chance one may see half a
century of service. For the first five or
six years a locomotive needs no repairs,
provided it meets with no accidents.
Then it will need new boiler tubes,
when, in another five years, the tires,
boiler and engine boxes must be replac
ed. The locomotive is then good for
another score of -years, when the frames,
axles and some of the small points re
quire looking after. Then, like the
traditional Yankee jack-knife, it has a
new blade and a new handle. It is an
acknowledged fact that American loco
motives .-see more service tihsm those
made In auy other country.
It is well known by- all banters that a
rabbit is never found in the same bed
in which one has been killed the same
season, especially if one particle of
blood has been spill; therefore, if yon
will kill a hare and rub the blood, even
a very small portion, on the body of a
fruit-tr-ee, it will not be molested by
them that winter. I h*ve one isoudred
trees I have treated thus for fonrteaa
years, and never had them barked,, un
less I happened to miss one. One-hare
is sufficient to rub . fifty tree?.—fCol-
