TORONTO W NHiPeo -e HONTON 04404M W SI #1lt�ElNTS The annytal.�logs' due to ig:!tjd lase or negligence In ttst care of tatin ial- pleaaents is appalling. Faros have been published from . time to time. showing depreciation on implements from lack of shelter and cart, still many farmers winter their imple- ments in the field where they were last used, or Scattered about the farm I yard. A manufacturer, if he is to prosper, must keep his production cost at the lowest possible figure. The game applies to the farmer, who is no less a manufacturer, and one of the ways in which he can materially Icut down his expenses is in the pro- perfcare •of his implements and tools. All implements when not in use should be under cover, and not left exposed to the influence of the wea- 1 ther. A machine or implement shed need not be an elaborate affair. If it can be wholly closed, so much the better. It should be conveniently sit- uated, and the front should consist largely of roller doors, so that any implement can readily be obtained. As to the arranging of the various implements, a binder being used prac- tically at one season of the year, may be stored in a far corner, leaving space nearer the door for -mowers, plows and other implements used at various times throughout the season. A stitch in time saves nine, and many an expensive repair item might be saved by repairing a machine at the first appearance of trouble. When implements are taken out they should be looked over carefully, nuts tight- ened, adjustments and trivial repairs made, which if left might develop no end of trouble. Far too little machine oil is used, causing excessive wear- ing on bearings and castings, and working untold injury on the machine. A coat of paint not only adds to the appearance, but greatly prolongs the life of both wood rand iron. Polished surfaces, such as plow shares and mould boards, should be smeared with grease or painted with kerosene and lsmp__black when not in use. A good farmer must be a good me- chanic, more especially if he operates tractors and other large machinery, otherwise his repair items will be high, and the usefulness of the trac- tor or machine greatly impaired. If possible avail yourself of some course at a tractor school, and become famil- iar with the intricacies of your mo- tor. In this way you will obtain bet- ter service, and the repair items and mechanics' bills will be reduced to a minimum. A work shop, with a small forge and anvil, and some good tools for both wood and iron, is a great con- venience, and indeed a necessity on many farms. Having this, many re- pairs and adjustments can be made, plow shares pointed and sharpened, and a host of other things done that would necessitate a trip to the local blacksmith or machine shop. No one takes more pride than the owner of a well -ordered and cared - for farm where there is a place for everything and everything is in its place. FOUR YEARS IN GERMANY Long before the fateful 9th of No- vember four years ago the Imperial system had lost the confidence of the German working classes, of the paci- fists, and of the men in the trenches. The hour when it lost the confidence of the bulk of the middle class as well came on June 18, 1918, when Foch's reserves from the forest of Villers Cotterets broke through the German lines at Soissons -Chateau -Thierry. A short while before Ludendorff had announced in an official military re- port that he had already destroyed those reserves. The eyes, of the un- willing German burgher were opened yet further on August 8th. When the English troops took the Germans by storm in the Soissons -St. Quentin direction, and English cavalry appear- ed at the hack of the German infan- try, Imperial Germany received its political dagger -thrust. Deserters appeared in the garrisons, men ordered to the front went off to their relatives instead. Officers were no longer saluted in the streets. The bugles blew orders to the men in vain. Nobody ventured to arrest these soidi- ers who thus flagrantly defied author- ity. Defeat in the battlefield was not regarded as a defeat of the nation. The people saw a hatred system breaking up, destroyed by its own hand. The Armistice followed, and during the whole of the war no hap- pier faces had been seen than at this moment. There were certain voices clamoring for a rising to arms of the whole nation. They were laughed down with scorn. The military ex.- ecutive formulated plans for female conscription. Everybody laughed,and the workmen asked whether their women -kind had not served long enough already in the munition.fac- tories. Every evening huge Socialist mass -meetings were called and none dared to forbid them. It was during those days that the brand from Kiel set the powder -barrel alight. Rumors spread like wildfire that the sailors on board and in bar- racks had nlutined. The next day a few sailors actually arrived, boister- ously acclaimed, and followed by a train of civilians. Their passes were stamped with the words "Soldi- ers' Council, Kiel." At midday most of the shops shut. 'Something like the spirit of carnival was in the air. There were speeches and scenes of rowdy exaltation. That same night private -soldiers demanded and obtain- ed entrance to the best hotel in the town and were served by the waiters with coffee and cigarettes. In the early morning the newspaper offices were surrounded and seized and the papers themselves put under strictest censorship. Ori their 'appearance the front page bore a proclamation to the effect that the Raiser had fled to Holland and that Ebert had become Chancellor. The ordinary citizen and workman were alike astonished to read this news on the morning of the 9th when they set out for office, shop, and factory.

Meanwhile the men who had forced entrance to the best hotel, the Frank- furter Hof, had not wasted time. The Chief of Police -was a prisoner in one of the bedrooms. 'rhe general in com- mand had given his word of honour to submit to the new order of things and obeyed all orders that were given him. The Chief of Police was dis- missed, and the Soldiers' Council put a Socialist lawyer in his place. In the factories the workmen elected their councillors, who met at once and decided op a one -day strike and de- monstration for November 11th. In the Frankfurter Hof hotel the Soldi- ers' Councillors elected the night be- fore conferred together with those chosen in the barracks. Heavy rain fell the whole day, so that any big demonstration was rendered impos- sible. All public buildings, factories, and warehouses were provided with guards to save them from being plun- dered by the mob. All officers were obliged to remove their shoulder straps, and were no longer greeted in the streets. It was not until the third day that a big demonstration of labour took place. And now for the first time authentic news came from Berlin to the effect that power had passed into the hands of the Socialist parties. Once more there was an authority at the head ..of affairs. On the fourth day of the revolution life flowed even- ly again in old channels and every- body was at work once more. Dur- ing these first days of the revolution and in the weeks that followed not as many as ten people were killed in Germany. Only three had met their death in Kiel on November 3rd. It was no revolution at all. It was merely a complete collapse of Imper- ial Germany, rotten to the core. UNSOLVED MYSTERY.OF THIRTY YEARS AGO Among all proverbs, many of which are poor guides for human conduct, none is more demonstrably false than the saying that murder will out. If this means that the fact 'that a murder has been committed cannot be concealed forever, it is only ap- proximately true; if it means, as most people understand it to mean, that a murderer cannot eventually be run down, it is false. The fact is, that probably one murderer in four is convicted, and that perhaps not one murderer in two is ever put on trial. Two months have elapsed since the finding of the bodies of Rev. Dr. Hall and Mrs. Mills on a farm near New Brunswick, New Jersey, and nobody has been put on trial. The prob- ability is that this mystery will,never be solved, if it can properly be called a mystery, though most people will be inclined to regard it as a mis- carriage of justice on the part of the local police, who are either bribed dr who feared to take action against people of great wealth and influence. In the past thirty years there have been scores, perhaps hundreds, of murder cases in the United -States SASKATCHEWAN WOMAN RECOVERS r Fcund Health by Taking Lydia E.

'Sank Mr. Borden was a hank president, and a man of wealth. His , household. consisted of his two daughters, Emma and Lizzie, by his first • Nlar- siege; his wife, and Bridget Sulli,= van, the maid, of all work. Lizzie was thirty-two years old, and Emma a -few years older. Emma was not at home on the day of the murder. Mr, Borden went to the bank at his usual hour, but returned home about 1Q:30, when he was admitted by Bridget, and sat down in the !fitting - room. Less than an hour before Mrs. Borden -(tad gone upstairs to change sonic pillow cases in the guest room. A little later on Lizzie told Bridget that her mother had gone out, having received a' note asking her to call on a sick friend. Shortly before 11 o'clock Bridget went to her attic room to lie down, but had been there only a few minutes when Lizzie called her in a voice of alarm . and told her tlikt someone had killed her father. Bridget rushed out for a doctor, but, before he could arrive neighbors came in. Mr. Borden's body was found on the lounge of the sitting - room, his skull battered to pieces, by an axe or some other sharp, heavy instrument. Upstairs the body of Mrs. Borden was found in the guest room, with the skull similarly smashed. Mr. Borden's watch was still ticking in his pocket, and his wallet, stuffed with bills, had not been touched. Nothing had been removed from the house, so far as could be ascertained. No weapon was found. No evidence of a stranger having entered the house was disclosed, unless the dead bodies themselves were to be considered evidence. A few days after the crime Lizzie Borden was arrested and put on trial for her life. The prosecution based its case largely on the fact that she had an exclusive opportunity to commit the murder. The servant was ruled out, and it was contended that at that hour of the day it would have been impossible for a stranger to enter or leave the house without being observed by the neighbors.fllre motive was supposed to be hatred of her step -mother.- For the murder of the father no motive was suggested. This was a weak part of the case, since a medical examination of the stomachs of the two victims showed that Mrs. Borden had been killed more than an hour before her husband, that she was lying dead upstairs when Mr. ' Borden returned from the bank. If Lizzie killed her step -mother, why should she have also killed her fath- er? Her sister, Empla, stuck to her staunchly. She said that, while Lizzie had quarrelled with the step- mother, their relations for the past couple of years had been friendly. Bridget had heard no quarrels. Statements alleged to have been made after her arrest by Lizzie, to the effect that Emma had betrayed her, were ruled out by the court. A broken hammer, to which was attached a hair, and bearing some curious stains, was found in the cel- lar, but an expert testified that the hair was not a human hair and the - stains were not blood stains. A tiny speck of blood was found on one of Lizzie's undergarments, but the de- fence contended that whoever com- mitted the murder must have been literally 'covered with blood. That Lizzie had buried one of her dresses some three days after- the crime was alleged, and not denied, but the burning took place in daylight, with no effort of concealment, and wit- nesses swore that this was not the dress that Lizzie had worn on the day of the crime. The defence con- tended that only a powerful man could have wielded a weapon as savagely .as the slayer. The prose- cution pointed out that Lizzie was masculine in appearance and of sturdy build. Her previous reputa- tion was good, though she was given to fits of moroseness. Her friends stood by her. In less than an hour the jury found her not ,guilty. The mystery remains to this day. CROSSING HENS WITHTURKEYS Hybridswhich have been called Turkhens, have been produced this year in California from a cross of a turkey gobbler and a Rhode Island Red hen, according to a report in the American Poultry Journal. "W. F. Coleman, of San Diego, first reported this cross to us,” says the Journal, "and we are indepted to H. L. Musser, of Los Angeles, for a photo of two of the birds which he is raising." The hybrids have some of the char- acteristics of the turkey, such as a long, bare neck, a head similar to a turkey's, and the same habits in going about and picking seeds and insects here and there over the range. There is no pretense that a new breed of fowl has been evolved or that the freak product can he developed into a profitable or reproducing va- riety of poultry. No'doubt, as in thg case of the mule, the hybrid will fall to reproduce its kind. This sort of experiment is not recommended and is nothing more than an absurd curi- osity.
