When first discover.ed it is easily repaired, If allowed t'o remain ,the labor necessary to. repair the damage increases in arithmetical progression, Strips about the.doors and window,,are easily put up. They keep .out the cold, and add much to the.comfQrf oj; the family, Tools should be looked after. When any implement is provided witK an edge, it should be our business to see that the edge is in tho best possible condition.
