The amount and kind of cultivation necessary must be very largely based upon its effectiveness in destroying weeds. In very dry seasons, after the corn is once well cleaned, weeds are of secondary importance, since the cultivation given to conserve moisture will keep them under con- trol. If the season is exceptionally wet, however, or if the ground has be- come foul with weeds from lack of proper care, removing the weeds and Legumes Increase the Roughage Yield of the Corn Field. ground and will keep much‘of the wa- ter from evaporating. This mulch holds the water in the soil where the plant roots can take it up instead of allowing it to pass off into the air and be wasteful. In preparing the seed- bed for corn, and in cultivating, the grower should keep in mind the idea of absorbing as 'much water as possi- me from the spring and summer rains. and storing it in the soil where the plants can make use of it. The destroying of weeds is usually} grass is the main object of cultivation. Weeds should not be tolerated in the com field at any time, for they inter- fere with the growth of the plants and use up plant food and moisture that otherwise would go to the corn. Rag~ weed, milkweed, pigweed, cockleburr, smartweed, morning glories and button weed, are a few of the troublesome corn field weeds, beside the various thistles. All these weeds are easily killed as they are coming through the ground, but if allowed to get well am A YEAR 330011011st started, it is often a difficult matter to get rid of them. Usually cultivation of corn should: start by harrowing lightly before the corn comes up, or at least once or twice before the corn is large enough to cultivate with the cultivator. This is an especially good method if plant. ing has been followed by a rain that has packed the soil and caused a crust to form on t0p through which the plants cannot break. ' Early harrowing will conserve moisture by stirring this top soil, kill the weeds and grasses which have started and throw out more seed to sprout and be killed by later cultivation. An ordinary spike- tooth harrow or weeder is best adap- ted to this Work. If conditions will permit, it is well to harrow once be~ fore the corn is up, and again before it is large enough to cultivate in the ordinary way. When the corn is large enough to cultivate, it should be plowed fairly deep and close the first plowing so as to kill all grass and weeds that may have escaped the harrow. Cut the fields cleaned out as early as possible, for it is more easily done than later. Subsequent cultivations should be shallow—not to exceed two or three inches—and should be given every week or ten days and as soon after every rain as possible. Rains tend to beat the soil particles together and form a crust, which causes much loss of water by evaporation. In dry sea- sons keep a mulch on the ground all the time if possible, especially early in the season while the plants are small. I 111 general, shallow and frequent cul- tivations are best. This will make the most effective mulch and will not dis. turb the corn roots. Deep cultivation cuts off many of the feeding roots of the corn which extend out in all direc- tions from the plants four to five inch? es below the surface of the soil at a time when they are badly needed to supply moisture and food to the plants. On some heavy clay soils of the level sections deep cultivation to af— ford aeration, and ridging to afford surface drainage, is advisable.

DETROIT, ,JULY 12, 1919 CURREN T COMMENT N these days of high prices and record wages for farm help the problem of maintaining the pro- duction of farm pro- ducts at a profitable level takes on ad- ded importance. We hear much talk of the necessity of higher prices for farm products, but where will higher prices lead us if we neglect the prin- ciples of economical production. There is no lack of knowledge on common ' matters of everyday farming, but there is a vital need for the practical appli- cation of what We already know. The results of experience and research work in determining the cost of pro- duction figures and the amount of la- bor a man can perform during a sea son are of real value only in case they are studied and applied. Hardly one farm in ten is equipped with the proper apparatus to insure economical production per laborer em— ployed. Take, for instance, the vari- ous implements of tillage. How few farmers realize the importance of theSe implements being of proper size, weight and efficiency to. meet the re- quirements of the available man-pow- er and horse-power on the farm. The real exceptional successful farmers have answered the appeal for more farm products because they have stud- ied labor and [production problems and were in a position to increase their out- ' put to ,the limit of profitable farm yields. It is. the farmer whohas been . Content :to producebniy a fraction of Economical Production Important what his farm is capable of producing under good management who should spend thoughtfuhhours planning. . for, increased production. . In the great food emergency the farmer with a small business may become the decid- ing factor in solving our food prob- lems. By taking a new view of his business and studying prices of differ- ent products he may see clearly that he has been making a. mistake by put- ting his personal labor and knowledge into the growing of four acres of pota- toes or caring for six dairy cows. While he may have made a comforta- ble profit from his small acreage or herd, he has nevertheless been need- lessly handicapped in his operations because/he. did not have proper cultur- al? implements or a well-arranged stable.

The. fact that prices are soar- ing, and 'so many farmers are selling their ,. animals to avoid hiring extra help is giving an opportunity to men who have small farms and believe in stock to put their time, labor and knowledge to most profitable use. Such problems as tile-drainage and the use of fertilizers have .an entirely new aspect since farm labor has .be= come the big factor in determining the cost of producing farm products. It is ‘ certain'that no immediate problem of general scope is of wider interest or greater importance than that of get- ting our low-producing acres up to a condition to yield profitable crops. It required a. jolt such as the war has produced to make some of our farmers realize how impossible it is to main- tain a profitable system of farming on unproductive lands. The men , who have fertile land and good equipment are prospering in spite of the labor shortage and general rise in the cost of operating charges, because they can produce a good crop from a minimum of labor, while the man with poorer land is being forced to work harder to wring an almost dry sponge. In the future we must think. more and more in terms of bushels or pounds rather than of acres. The measure of a year’s profits depend upon how many bushels or pounds a man’s labor can produce, and not upon how many acres he can plow, sow and cultivate. or'how many COWS he can milk. elt costs a whole lot, more to employ four acres to grow the same crop that might be grown on one acre. So far as the hazard of weather is concerned, we know that its ill-effects are far greater on poor land than on rich land. It is the same with othervthings. We know that it costs very much less to produce six hundred pounds of butter- fat from one cow than from four. As soon as we begin to think of bushels and pounds rather than of acres, productive efficiency begins to loom up. We begin'at once to put our land in shape to produce larger crops per acre. do the work of one we thought lightly and feebly of the question of labor charges. Now we see clearly the ad- vantages of producing more to the acre. Now we are faced. the right way to see the whole question of farming in its true, economic light. Let as re-, solve to raise a larger- bushels or pounds of products from a less number I of acres or smaller ex: penditure of manpower. HE desirability of making “two blades of grass grow where one grew be fore“ has, in times . past been a much de- bated _question. Many farmers who have in bygone years seen prices for farm products fall to a low and un- profitable level have naturally come to associate this slogan for increased pro- duction with the idea of over—produc-g tion, when given a figurative applica- tion. resulting. from last season's unfavor- Two Blades of Grass sable weather conditions in mind, its liberal application has apt-very! different ‘- meaning.

HE increased cost Building . of both labor atilild . materials since e and Equ- signing of the armis- ment N eeds tice has not served to stop urban building to any great extent. The serious hous- ing condition in industrial centers, due to enforced cessation of building dur- ing the war, has compelled the re- sumption of home building regardless of cost. Resumption of business activ- ~ity on a peace-time basis has also call- ed for industrial expansion in many directions, notwithstanding the gener- ally increased cost. of manufactured article’s. "Business as usual” is more effective as a peace-time program than as a war slogan. .The apparent gen- eral confidence in the future of busi- ness conditions favors a continuation of this program. It seems to be gen- erally conceded on "every hand that any future readjustment of values will be gradual rather than sudden, hence the building and industrial activity above noted. ' Farm building has been resumed to a very considerable extent though per- haps not in the same proportion as city building because of abnormal need in the latter case, as 'well' as because of the fact that the country has been drained of skilled mechanics through war activities rather than because. of the‘increased'cost of building operas. tions. Labor is thepredominasnt factor in the cost of materialsaswell as of. manufactured articles, and a careful analysis of the labor situation seems. to clearly indicate ’that labor costs will. continue, at a high level for some time to come. From the farmer’s standpoint this is not an unmixed evil- for the reason that high-paid labor means maximum consumption and a continued high range in values for farm products. It also means that from the standpoint of utility and economy in the handling and saving of crops that needed building and equip- ment will be just as profitable an in- vestment for farmers under cenditlons which now obtain, and which seem likely to obtain for aconsiderable’ pe- riod, as was-the case when their cost was very much less than it is at the, present time. “Indeed. so fares they may contribute to ’ the saving in ~ labor or 'of crops, .9193" will: «prove 1‘ better more plenumman is new the case.‘ 9 i, It has; apparent that sctnslbuiid- . ’ f ’ be. robbed? and. murdered. “Under 'present c'ondi- ' Stanislau ,wunpsso..uw§.: ..

More than three hundred of the leading breeders and farmers of Michigan and northern Indiana being present. ' Prominent among the breeders pres- ent Were many boys who are finding the beautiful Guernseys profitable farm companions. These boys have found calf clubs a great’stimulus in encouraging them in their work and increasing their desire to become bet- ter breeders and farmers. This is a step in the right direction, and the Guernsey breeders of the state of Michigan are to be congratulated upon their good work in promoting boys’ calf clubs in several localities. Some of the boys brought their girls along and were busy explaining how a few good Guernseys would return sufficient profit to provide modern home conven- iences and make the life of a farmer’s , wife more attractive than life in a big city. » New price standards recently set by Vthe Guernsey breed have established . values‘ neverbefore approached. At a. recent sale in New Jersey a bull calf brought $25,000 and a cow $12,500. Such sales have awakened Michigan Guernsey breeders to a realization of the value of the animals in their ‘ herds, and are proving an inspiration to young men to get into the game of ”breeding high-class Guernseys at a ‘time when the country is short of good dairy cattle of all breeds. “The pictures shown herewith prove our assertions that the future holds unusual promise for the man who knows how to breed good Guernseys ‘ and who has the nerve to invest in a " few really good breeding animals. Nev- er, in the, estimation of the writer, were conditions quite so faVOrable for ‘ farmers whohave good land and mod- ern dairy conveniences to buy a few good Guernsey cows and a superior sire and gradually develop a herd of ' choice breeding cattle. The picture in the field near the barns is a good view '._,of Ballard Brothers’ herd. Another vviewr‘is‘of the barns. And " ' Hold} Annual. Mating at M76: we hadn’t looked at these barns for a half minute before we 'could see in Our mind’s eye how the Ballard boys'start- ed out some years ago on a small scale with little money to grow into the dairy business. As their herd increas- ed they added a lean-to to the old barn that ’their father built some time since 1852. Then an extension was put up, later on another'lean-to, then an- other, until the barn looks like the well-built and substantial structure you see on this page. This cow barn is a lesson for and an invitation to the farmer to go and do likewise. No need of a big bank ac- count to use in the erection Of an im- mense basement barn with expensive equipment to , start in to keep fine Guernseys or any other breed of dairy cattle. It shows how the Ballard boys started in with grit to do the best they could with what they had on hand. And they added thereto, from time to time as they could see their way clear to make things a bit more convenient and comfortable. And in so doing they built up the big cow stable as a sort of basement extension and retain- ed the same level in all the stable flooring. The ceilings are high enough, and provision is made by means of commodious ventilators along the side walls to keep the air circulation as goodas in any modern stable. . Out in the alfalfa meadow we found 'hay that would yield two tons the first cutting. Alfalfa on a dairy farm makes a dollar look bigger than fifty cents these days. With alfalfa and ensilage the cost of feeding cows is reduced to the lowest possible notch. Scrub cows boarded on overoripe timothy, june grass, corn meal and bran, do not pay in dollars. and cents. . Glen Clark, president of the Berrien County Guernsey Breeders’ Associa- tion, presided during the afternoon program. The leading speaker was E. A. Onsrud, extension service man of the American Guernsey Cattle Club. E. J. Smalley, president of the Michi- gan Guernsey Breeders’ Association, was present, also Secretary A. M. Brown, of M. A. (‘., and several county agricultural agents from both states. A fine dinner was served on tables set under the oaks. The Ballard Brothers consist of two members, Harry is the live stock man and Ralph is the fruit manager. There is an apple orchard of about thirty. five acres on the south side of the road on rolling land that is nicely adapted to fruit growing. This apple orchard has produced many thousands of dol- lars worth of fine apples and the trees are. still in their early youth. Trim- ming and spraying has made these trees almost perfect for their mission in life. They are now low-headed, and those we saw were already well load- ed with apples. - Several near-by breeders brought some of their young stock for display, so that there were plenty of Guernseys to look at and admire all around the place. This farm of one hundred and Wide-Awake Guernsey Breeders fifty acres resembles an English es? tate. with its rolling surface and many large white and burr oak trees scatter- ed around the fields. PLANS TO EXPORT PUREoBRED STOCK. 0 work out plans for increasing the exportation of pure—bred breed- ing stock from the United States to South America, David Harrell and H. P. Morgan, of the Bureau of Markets, will go to South America as represen- tatives of the United States Depart- ment of Agriculture. They recently conferred in Chicago with secretaries of various breeding associations. Sec- retaries representing all breeds of hogs and all but two of cattle attend- ed. Ways and means of stimulating interest among South American stock raisers in importations of pure—bred stock from this country were discuss- ed. It was planned to send a shipment of hogs to South American live stock shows. This plan, it is believed, is one of the best ways of introducing to the South American stock raisers the qual- ity of animals now being grown in the United States. POTATO SEED INSPECTION. OLLOWING the plans agreed upon by the New York State Potato Growers’ Association, at its annual meeting last winter, the county farm bureaus in the state are organizing po- tato growers who desire inspection of the growing crops this season prelimi- nary to offering the tubers for sale as certified seed another season. ,The work is under the direction of the New YOrk State College of Agriculture, and a charge of three dollars an acre will be made, with the provision that any funds not expended in the inspection service shall be returned to the grow- ers at the end of the season. The ser- vice includes two inspections while the crop is growing and a final inspection of the tubers after they are dug. It is the purpOSe of these inspections to enable the up—state growers to pro- duce certified seed of high quality in sufficient quantities to supply growers on Long Island, in New Jersey, and southern early potato growing dis- tricts—E.

R. ’h Industry .J ' t a I and the Automobile ‘ (Indiana) ' ‘ o ROBABLY no existing industry serves such a useful purpose in so many ways as the automobile in- dustry, and certainly no industry has had such a meteoric increase in proportions. Such an increase would have been im- possible of accomplishment if a market for moderate priced cars had not been found, and without the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) it would have been impossible to find this market.‘ When only the rich could afford an automobile the, Standard Oil Company (Indiana) had the vision of most every- one driving his own machine. The Company set out, not to find a way to make gasoline prices higher, but to keep them low in the face of the enormous demands made by the automobilists, which in the average industry would have caused abnormal increases in price. The efficiency of , the Standard Oil Company in ,making a constantly in- creasing number of by-products has kept down the price of gasoline and enabled the .man of modest means to run an automobile after he got it. ' The Standard Oil Company not only makes gasoline to sell at a low price, but to, fit the requirements of the modern automobile engine in such a manner as to enable the owner to get out of his car all that the manufacturer designed it to produce. This is a salient example of the usefulness of the. Standard Oil Company not Only in contributing to the success of other in- dustries, but in discharging its obligation as a public servant so that all may benefit from its efficrency and by its operations.

It might be called clay-loam mixed with gravelv—not an ideal soil for strawberry culture. But the location helped-to offset other dis- advantages, because, durlng a severe drouth, the near-by creek saved the patch from burning up. A garden hose helped, greatly, in keeping the plants alive. ' The plants were set in April while the soil was still cold and damp. We never had much Success with. straw- berry plants set out after the soil had become warm and mellow. Every be- ginner should bear in mind that one , of the most important points is this: Plant strawberries as soon as the ground can be worked. And here *are a few more points: Procure good, strong plants, of perfect flowering va- rieties, unless you understand the mating of imperfect varieties. If you prune the roots, don't prune too close ——better no prtming of roots, at all, than too much.» This applies. to the tops, also. When removing the outer leaves, the greater part of the stems should be left intact. . Never set old plants. It you must use plants from an old patch, be sure that you are getting young plants that have neVer borne a crop. Even then, there is little to be gained except on a small patch for home use. To return to the original text: As no fertilizer was used before the plants were set we decided to use a top-' dressing between the rows and around the plants. If a quantity of well-rotted barnyard manure had been worked in-' to the soil, no other fertilizer would have been needed. However, there be- ‘ ing none at hand we decided to sub— stitute a liberal top-dressing of poultry droppings, soon after the plants were set. It istneoessary to get this .work done as early as possible. There is always dangerin using fresh poultry. fertilizer among .strawberrry plants unless great'care is used in keeping it from coming into direct centact with the plants.

RUIT arid vegetable interests in New Yoitk state are unanimously opposed to the preposed xiew railroad mm covering shipments of perishable fprodliets, and known in shipping cir- sea as the “perishable protective tar- At a meeting held?” in Rochester on June 11, attended by upWards of one hundred representatives of the fruit and vegetable growers and ship- pers, it was charged that the proposed tariff, as drafted by the federal rail- road administration, is inelastic to lo- cal conditions; does not take into con- sideration the special needs of New York state fruit growers and shippers; curtails adequate service; adds unrea- sonable burdens on the shipping pub lic; increases cost of services, includ- ing icing charges, irrespective of. the actual costs for such service, and gen- ‘ erally relieves the railroads of respon- sibilities, which it is held that as pub- no service corporations, they are bound to assume. . While one revision has been made of the original tariff, supposedly in the _ interest of the shippers, it4was the sentiment of the conference that the tariff as a whole is impracticable. As a constructive result of the meeting, the Associated Fruit and Vegetable ln- dustries of New York state was Organ- ized for the purpose of opposing the tariff, and securing rates and condi- ' tions that will be fair to all the’inter- ests [engaged in the production of and ‘ handling of fruits and vegetables.

Hearirigs are to be held at various points throughout the coun- try at which the Interstate Commerce Commission, which has been delegated by the railroad administration to act in the matter, will receive the evi— dence submitted. The hearing at which New York state producers and ship "pers will present arguments, will be held in New York City Septemberz,’ and includes the New England states, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Mary- land, New Jersey and Delaware.

The tractor does not “give,” as horses do. If a beam springs, the plow will no longer do good work. That means a costly de- lay while the beam is being repaired. If a beam breaks there is a costly delay and the expense of a new beam besides. The extra strong, guaranteed John Deere beams protect you against delay and expense. Be sure to consider that important feature when you choose your tractor plow. And keep in mind these other features: The extra strong beambraces are long lapped and securely joined to the beams with heavy bolts and lock wash- ers. The frame stays rigid.

Land in the northern part of the state, owned by the state of Michigan, is one of the worst breeding places and the state is doing nothing to stop this nuisance. Also the cut-over lands own- ed by the big lumber companies breed .’hoppers that infest the nearby farm- ers. Another source of grasshopper in- festation is the lands owned by people living outside of the county. These people hold their land for an increase in value but do nothing to improve it.

F; , pasturageis continually weakened and . ‘ 1 ' . reduced by over-grazing, will establish ‘- ' ’, themselves in the dying sod.. On the other hand, when a rank growth’of ' grass stands ungrazed for p long'time 'there is a tendency for the sod to be- -’ come weakened, as the result of a ‘ " superabundant top-growth. Weeds are then able to grow and multiply, but under these conditions they probably never become 80 numerous and trou- blesome as under the extreme condi- . tions of over- grazing. While in the '4' 1 . ordinary use of pastures under- grazing is not likely to occur, yet it is well to know in advance the result of such practice. Stock will not eat weeds un- less forced to do so, but will graze ,more and more heavily on the dimin- ishing patches of clean grass; conse- quently the weeds are continually fav- ored in their competition with the grass for soil space, and unless means 'are taken to check them they may‘ presently overrun and ruin the pas- ture. The first step toward improving un- productive pastures should be the de: struction of weeds. Where the land - is level and open enough to allow the use of a mower, all undesirable plants should be out before they make seed. Or the pasture may be fenced off in several areas, taking the weedier ones first, and the stook kept on an area until the weeds are eaten down. In this practice young cattle or sheep should be used. As the weeds are being destroyed the growth of the'grass itself should be stimulated; and according to the present knowledge of pastures the ap- plication of stable manure seems the only certain economical means of. do- ing this. Whenever manure is avail- able, apply it to the pasture in light dressings, covering‘ first the scantiest patches, but eventually covering the whole pasture if possible. Another ex- cellent practice .is to reseed the more unthrifty patches and then graze them sparingly until they are again thickly revegetated. Cultural treatment to improve the growth of pasturage, such as diSking and harrowing, cannot be recommend- ed ’for general conditions.

They were both rather white-faced when they faced each other. . “Don’t take such a risk again,” he said, harshly self. Suddenly she became very hum- ble, guiding her marealongside his horse, and: in a low voice asked. him to pardon her folly. ' ' .And, not thinking of himself, he scored her for the risk she had taken, alternately reproaching, arguing, bully- . ing, pleading, after the fashion of men. And, still shaken by the' peril she had . so wilfully sought, he asked her not to do it again, for his sake-an infor- mal request that she accepted with equal informality and a slow droop of her head. , Neverhad she received'such a thor- ough, such a satisfying‘scolding. There was not one word too much—every phrase- refreshed her, every arbitrary intonation sang in her ears like music. And so farnot one selfish note had beenstruck. She listened, eyes downcast, face del- icately flushed—listened until it pleas- ed him to make an end, which he did with amazing lack of skill:- “What do you suppose life would 7 hold for me with you at the bottom of that gravel-pit. 9" The selfish note rang out, unmistak— able, imperative—the clearest, sweet- est note of all to her. But the ques- tion was no question and required no answer. Besides, he had said enough ——just enough. “Let us ride home,” she said, realiz- ing that they were on rath’er dangerous ground again—dangerous as the grav- el-hill. And a few moments later she caught a. look in his face that disconcerted and stampeded her. “It was partly your, own fault, Mr. Burleson. ~Why does not your friend take away the mare he has bought and paid for?” “Partly—my—fault!” he repeated, wrathfully. “Can you not let a woman have that much consolation?” she said, lifting her gray eyes to his with a little laugh. “Do“you insist on being the only per- fect embodiment of omniscience. 9” He said, rather sulk1ly, that he didn’t think he was omniscient, and she pre- tended to doubt it, until the badinage left him ‘half vexed, half laughing, but on perfectly safe ground once more. Indeed, they were already riding ov- er the village bridge, and he said. “I want to stop and see Santry’ 5 child for a moment.

And after a moment she handed him the bridle of her mare, saying, “You will see that she is forwarded when your friend asks for her. 9” llYeS ,9 She looked at the mare, then walked up slowly and put her arms around the creature’s silky neck. “Good-bye,” she said, and kissed her. Turning half de. fiantly on Burleson, she smiled touch- ing her wet lashes with her gloved wrist. “The Arab lady and the faithful gee- gee,” she said. “I know The Witch doesn’t caie, but I can’t help loving her.

There was that in Burleson’s eyes that sobered her; she instinctively laid her hand on the gate, looking at him with a face which had suddenly grown colorless and expressionless. “Miss Elliott,” he said, “will you marry me?” The tingling silence lengthened, broken at intervals by the dull stamp- ing of the horses.

HAT is the value of a rest-room ._ in the nearest town or village to the farm women in the neigh- boring communitiés? It- would be dif- ficult to estimate, but I have not’the slightest doubt that women who al- ready enjoythese privileges would not part with them for the World. All state they have many times been re- paid for the time and money spent in their establishment. The country wom- an, especially the woman who has ryoung children, knows what it is to get them nicely dressed, all looking spick and span, ready for a drive of anywhere from six to fifteen miles, to the nearest town to do her shopping. The day is hot, the roads are dusty, and when they arrive at their destina- tion, the children are all mussed up, and the mother feels tired, blown about and untidy. How nice it is to know that they can go straight to their rest room, have a. wash and tidy up generally, rest a little while, and per- haps make a cup of tea, before they start out to do their shopping and to meet their friends. Even if one is lucky enough to own an auto, the rest room is none the less valuable, as even in an auto one gets pretty well blown about on a windy day, and, after battling with the ele- ments for even a comparatively short distance, one appreciates being able to get one’s hat on straight once more and the stray ends of one’s hair pin- ned up. It is also nice to have a place where one can meet one’s friends and "have a. chat, instead of having to stand in the street, or in some store. Un- doubtedly women will come to town much oftener if they know that when they have finished their shopping, they can go to a nice bright cheery room of their own, where they can sit and talk with others, or read a, magazine, while waiting for the men to .get through with their business. This means a long dreary interval spent sit- ting in the car or buggy, if there is no rest room, which detracts very consid- erably from any pleasure which the outing has for the women. Many farm women say they had rather stay at home than stand around. ' Rest rooms have a variety of uses. In most places they are social centers, where meetings and entertainments are had. It is very much easier to get it is held in a bright comfortable room where the members are at least sure of warmth in winter. Dishes are kept on hand, and as a rule there is a small stove where a kettle can be boiled, so that a light lunch can be served with '7 very little trouble, which is greatly appreciated. The establishment of a rest room is ~ not a very difficult problem. Grange members, for instance, in some east- ern sections, have gotten together and organized for this purpose, securing a room centrally located in the town or city. Rent is paid for this, met by an annual tax. The chamber of commerce and merchants’ associations are friend- ly to this plan, and many rest rooms are entirely supported by these. The next thing to do is to furnish the room. This need not be expen- sive. For the ideal rest room let us suggests couch, some chairs, includ- ' the same one, a good attendance at a meeting when- Rest Rooms for F arm Women ing a. rocker or two, some benches, a for; shelves for dishes and a small stove. The main idea should be to make the room attractive with the least possible expenditure. Wonders can be performed with empty boxes and some pretty inexpensive muslin. For instance, an empty apple or or- ange hex can be transformed into a, .. wash-stand, while another would make a dresser. A looking-glass, needless to say, is a most essential article, as are also a wash jug and basin. Paper tow- els cost very little, and are more sani- tary than the ordinary kind. Book- shelves should also be 'put up, or“ two EXT to its pie and che ing-gum, N America is famous for its break- fast foods. From the good old days of oatmeal or cornmeal “mush" the varieties of this popular food have increased until today no man knoweth the number thereof. A South Dakota specialist estimated that there were thirty-five brands sold in that state in 1916. ‘ With this bewildering number to choose from, how is the housekeeper to know which one to choose? In the majoritypf cases the question is set- tled by selecting the one everybody in the family likes best. Or if no two like the average American mother keeps everybody’s preference on hand and increases her work four- fold by catering to father, Susie and little John. A smaller number,vimbu_ed with a sense of thrift, select the‘break- fast food which they think the 'cheap- est, but are often led into buying the most expensive sort because its price per package is the lowest} -making it seemingly the cheapest. Cereals should be served in every home, and as their place is so import- ant the housekeeper should know how to select them ‘wisely. They are among the best of foods, since they contain all the food principles, _. carbo- hydrates, in which they are high; pro? teins, fats and mineral matters, and very little water. They are lower’ in protein and fat than meat, _but.much higher in carbohydrates, and as we need more carbohydrates than either proteins or fats, they thus form a. more desirable staple food. The following table will show the calories per pound in the most widely used cereals as compared with. meat, fowl, fish,- and eggs. No attempt at comparing coats ' rim. expense could“ or three empty orange boxes might be put together draped with muslin and made to serve the purpose of holding a. library. A nice linoleum or conga“- leum on the floor will add greatly tO’ ': .- the attractiveness or the room, . and J muslin curtains on windows should , not be omitted. There are women’ s organizations in every community willing to take care of the rest room, though some perma- nent organization must stand back of it to see that it is properly equipped, cared for, and of Continual and de- , pendable service to the community. E. W. GAGE. O A Comfortable Room where Farm Women May Best, Read, Write or Visit. Choosing Breakfast Foods is done, because prices now areg'so ab- normal and so widely different in lo- 'calities. 'The cost of one pound of the food named in your locality will show you which food will give you the most ' for your money. Wheat yields 1,568 calories a pound; oats 1,649 calories; corn 1,650; rye 1,551 calories; calories; round beef 950 » calories; chicken 505 calories; eggs 692 color ies; fish 370 calories. In selecting the food to be served the wise housekeeper wants to know which is best and cheapest. This ques- tion eaEh must answer for herself by first determining which is digested without any undesirable after-eflects by the members of her family. This- will be the cheapest food in the long Oatmeal is claimed by all to be the cheapest breakfast icod, but if any member of your family can not digest it, it is far from cheap for that indi- vidual.

You must consider your own individ- ualproblem and decide what is best, for yourself. But in doing so do not be swayed by preconceived prejudices about food. Don’t say, “the children like it” Say, rather, “this is best for the .children, and they must learn to like it. ” If the food is nourishihg and good and does not distress the child‘ after eating, there is no reason for the mother 'to burden herself preparing dishes just to please whims.

For some time even the older people On the farm did not recognize in it anything of a worth-while nature, terest about it. Then it was grandfath- we used,to call a pestle, used by the Indians with a stone mortar to'grind their corn into meal. You know, those people once lived right where we now do. Very few such pestles are found these days and you certainly are lucky to have this." That started a train of thought in this direction and our man of the farm, the son who has liVed here now a good many years, brought out a pretty little flint arrow head that had been picked up not far away. So our thoughts were directed back to the early his tory of the country and the many changes that have come since the red men went their way toward the set- ting sun.

I will tell you. _The children who are playing choose a captain then the captain di-fl 'vides them into halves. The captain tells one half to go some place and ' hide and not to peek. The other half stays with the captain. Then the cap- tain chooses three or four to be cats. After that is done they call the others I from their hiding place. They come and run around the half that is with the captain. When the mice come too close to the cats the cats run and catch them. After they are all caught by the cats they go and stand by the captain. And- the other half that were cats become mice and go and hide.— Evelyn Webber, Leslie, Mich.

I like them because there is lots of running in them and you also get lots of exercise. I like to bat as I can always hit the ball and I like to run from one base to the other. I like to pitch so I can throw the ball hard, but I do not like to catch as I 'am afraid of getting hurt, because I“have been hurt many times with a ball. In dog and deer there is lots of run- ning and when the dog comes you got to get a. hiking, if you do not, he will catch you.———Alpheus Norman, Harri- etta, Mich. Age ten years.

Avery & Sons Plow Co. ., Omaha, Neb. ’ a, Dear Sirs: This spring I bought one of your three-bottom tractor gang. plows from Miller & Son, of Boone, and my experience with it has been so satisfactory that I am writing to tell you about it. My 420- -acre farm is made up of several types of soil—some of them the kind that makes hard going for any plow, especially after a. spell of wet weather. Before trying the Avery I had owned two other makes of tractor plows. They didn’t come up to my idea‘of a tractor plow at all and I dis~ posed of them; so, naturally I was a little bit skeptical about tractor plows. When I put the Avery to work there had been only three clear days after nearly three weeks of wet weather. I started in a field of timothy sod underlaid in places by gumbo, in other places by sand, then waxy black soil. In spite of these hard conditions the work of the plow was perfect. At one place, at the bottom of a draw, the wheels of the tractor went in over 18 inches. I backed up, easily raised the plow bottoms with the levers and pulled through. “I had been using either of the other two plows, I would have had to dig it out with a spade. I was surprised that a brand new plow, without a. land polish on the bottoms, would go through this sticky mess. You have a fine plow. So have I Yours truly, E. S. JOHNSON.

No use to hurry, no use to worry; just keep pegging away and don’t think you can ever get to the top of the ladder, for “there ain't no sich th1ng ” At the time we came on the farm, I had an idea that it was a matter of a few years at most to work up a dairy business that would Satisfy every am- lbition. That might have been so if it had not been for the fact that ambi- tion is a pretty tough proposition. to r wrestle with. Once get it started and 1there is no knowing where it may land 'a fellow. It grows upon the things you give it to eat. It changes with I1the passing of the years. The first [cows we had were pretty good cows, .and seemed likely to be about what Jwe would like to keep for a long time; 'but it was not long before they lost their grip entirely on me. I wanted something better; and that has been the story of all the years that lie be- tween the then—time and the now-time and I suppose it will be so long as I live. I never shall see what I call the best cow in the world. Our first cows were just such as the neighbors kept then. Few cared for thoroughbred stock, so we all had mix- ed herds of very average cows. In all the country round there were not a. score of registered cattle. If we had wanted to ever so bad we could not have bought high-grade cows; and it was well we were so easily satisfied. But the time came when we had big dreams of better cows. I began by in- vesting in a better bull. That animal cost me several years of time and set me back I do npt know how far, for I never got a single thing from him that was’any good. It hurts to have such a disappointment as that. More than one man has quit just there and called it a bad job. The thing to do, is not to be discouraged, but to gather up as quickly as possible and go on, and keep, going on until you win, and be sure that you will win. Grit always wins. Time may bring some gray hairs, but as long as there are no wrinkles on a fellow’s brains,‘he is all right, and will keep. growing; Then, too, we came to places where we had to make sacrifices. In the be- ginning we had no creamery near us or other way of disposing of our milk except to make it up into butter and sell it that way. To help out we got a nice, deep-setting Creamery. Our.wa- ter was cold in the well, and to cool the milk down still more we built an ice-house and laid in a good store of ice. The butter we made was fine, if I do sayit. The cream was just as sweet and pure; and wife took all pos- sible» pains to have the churning done right and on time. But we did not think we were making as much butter as we should. So I got a little bit of a tester to see just what was the coin- our Cows Toot up Toward the 3,511 .«rho hood and was a device ‘with two tubes of glass with a graded scale at one side. We filled. these with two cows’ milk and let them stand till the cream had-rid on and 'then noted the result. -. Two more were then teSted‘ and in that way (we got some idea of the goodness of our milk. _ , Then came in the sacrifice. To see the Cows go from the farm takes some courage, especially if there are boys and girls that love them. We" do not like 'to ‘part with favorite cows; and then, tho, the price was so low. I sold very good cows then for $35 to $40 each. We thought it great when we could sell , one of those average cows for $50. «And what did we sell for? 'Not for the money particularly. ‘ Not because we had. too many‘ cows, but‘ simply and solely that we might have better cows. It cost me $50 to buy a little calf of the breed I had chosen. I tell you, that made me squirm. I know fifty dollars seems [a pretty small price'now for a good calf, but remember that this was years ago, when it seemed more like ., throwing money away to pay it out for better stock than it does today. ‘ Now, that has been the story of the years since; and I am persuaded it is the road every man must travel who sets out to build up a good dairy busi- ness. I have kept selling off and get- ting what I hoped would be better. To- day there are a number of outlets for milk. A creamery near us takes it all at a better price now than we ever re- ceived before, thanks to the Dairy- men’s League. Our cows test well up toward the top as compared with the, rest of the cows of the neighborhood. And we have cows that sustain their ' milk flow well; and yet, there are bet- ter things on ahead. Is it really worth while for a farm- er, any farmer, it matters not who never to be content with present at- tainments, but to keep on bdilding up, constantly laying the foundation for better things? When we get good cows, why not be satisfied with them and settle down to enjoy them and reap the fruits of our labors? Simply because with a real dairy farmer there‘ is no such thing‘ as standing stilL That means stagnation, and stagnation means death, death to hopes, death to dreams, death to all desire to make the world better. We hear" a; great deal in our day about keeping the young folks on the farm. Many plans for doing it are suggested. None, it seems to me, is more effective than'to keep growing, in every way. Young folks enjoy the building-up process. It charms them. They feel an interest in ' everything that helps to make the farm richer and more productive or its stock finer and more to be desired by all who know What good stock is. It certainly is profitable, from every point of view to strive for the best possible just as long as we live. ,‘y‘. v '1 \ taf/ "75"" ’ l J .eats, grit ands 'beef .scrap, three-”fourths part; ”’5“ g first.

Will you please givevme a good bal- afi‘ééd ration and net too expensive? Would a s’mall orchard about sixty by sixty feet be large enough to keep one hundred ducklings. in? Lenawee Co. Mrs. F. A. M» ' ‘ When»; ducklings are weak: in the legs it is usually. due to everfeedingi, with concentrated food and a lack of green; food in «the mash. One ration recommended for ducks consists of- bran t‘Wo parts corn meal one part. Then add five per cent of beef scrap. to the mixture and a little fine grit. Plenty of green food, such as clover or green rye, helps to balance up the ration and- keep the young birds heal- thy. 'James Rankin, who had great success with ducks, recommends the following ration for dimklings: Corn meal, 'one part; bran, -four parts with enough low- grade‘flour to hold the mix- ture together; also five per cent of coarse sand. 0n the third day green cut rye and a little beef scrap is added to the mash. This is used five times each day for a few weeks and then the feeding is reduced to three times per day. The bran is gradually reduc- ed and the meal increased until the ration is about threafourths meal when the birds-are eight weeks old and the beef scrap is increased to about ten per cent. . A fattening ration recummended for use from the eight to the eleventh week of age consists of corn meal, three parts; low-grade flour, one part; green stuff, one part. This ration is used three times each day. We do not 'know of a satisfactory ration for duck- lings that is very cheap at the present price of mill feeds and it is necessary to rear them very carefully and study the markets in order to make much profit from them. , The small orchard, sixty by sixty feet, is hardly large enough to keep one hundred ducklings penned in unless they are given unusually good care and ' an abundance of fresh green feed. One . breeder of some experience keeps his ducks in yards twenty-four by one hundred feet and allows forty ducks to a yard. This gives forty ducks an area of 2,400 feet, or about sixty square feet per duck. With one hun’- 'dred. duéks in a. yard sixty by sixty, they would have an area of 3,600 square feet, or thirty-six square feet per duck: Of course, young” growing stock do’ not need quite as much'rqom 'as old birds but the young grow so fast that they really need plenty of room, and if they are ,crowded the yards will soon be bare and unsani- tary. Of course, the quality of the- green food growing in the yard, the kind of soil and the drainage would all be factors in determining how many ducks could use a certain limited area without injury to their health and 1' growth. We would’ wish to give the one hundred ducklings a yard about twice as large as the sixty by sixty orchard- .

Ah, Jack, I was never de- ceived.” 5‘ He drew her closer and lifted her flushed. face. “I told your father—yes. And I told him that we would'go south with him.” ' “You—you dared assume that‘——be- fore I' had consented!” she cried, ex- asperated. “Why—why, I couldn’t contemplate anything else’ Half laughing, half angry, she strain- ed to release his arm, then desisted, breathless, gray eyes meeting his. “No other man,” she breathed—“no other man—” There was a silence, then her arms’crept up closer, encirc- ling his ’neck. “There is no other man,” she sighed. ,. f , THE‘ END... ,. - '5 Labor Spent by the farmer in sharp- a thousand per cent interest, declares Prof. H.

Fayette. 01111.1 MAN connected with the depart- ment or agriculture at Washing-é" _ ton one tilne conceived the idea, , that the only practical reason for. cul- 'tivating cord was to kill the weeds. received at that time a direct commu? nidatibn from the dépa‘rtmenté asking , me to make an experiment in a small- way, of course, by simply keeping- the weeds out of a patch of corn. This was to be done with a hoe. ground was not to be stirred up as it ordinarily is in cultivating, but every weed was to be cut off. ' The'idea was that it was not necessary to stir the - ground, simply prevent the weeds from growing up and choking the corn and use the supply of moisture in the soil. At the time I had no' faith in the proposition. idea of benefits to be‘ derived from 11111- tivation because I Was brought up in a country where the soil contains a’ good per cent of clay and ; it is liable - to- pack down so that‘crops cannot grow and do their best unless it is loosened up. The man of the depart- ment who conceived this idea had much to do with the looser, more por- ous soil that didn’t pack with heavy rains. One time when I was at Wash- ington I called on Dr. Spillman, who was then connected with the depart- ment of agriculture and this subject came up for discussion. Dr. Spillman told me that he had warned the man who was putting out this non-tillage propaganda that he was acting too hastily, that he must not judge all kinds of soil 'by the soil that he had experimented with. Now that practi- cally settled the whole question. Some of the alluvial soil of Illinois and the Red River valley and in the most fer- tile part of the corn belt would prob- ably raise splendid crops of corn with- out any cultivation, only suflicient to keep down the weeds. That kind of soil does not lose its moisture by cap- illary attraction like heavier soils af- ter a crust is formed by heavy rains. But when this theory came to be ap- plied to our conditions it wouldn’t work. The ground settled down so hard before the summer was over that the corn stopped growing, it dried up in the hot weather, it couldn’t live in this compact soil, hence cultivation of a heavy soil means more than it does on sandy and alluvial soil. It‘is just as necessary to destroy the weeds on the heavy soil as it is on the other but - in addition to that you must loosen up the soil so that the air can "get in so the moisture can_be absorbed when it rains and to form an earth muTChso that there will not be loss of moisture from evaporation by capillary attrac- tion. Tillage, then, for intertillage crops on hardwood, upland soils means more than destroying weeds. We mightput this as the main reason for tillage and yet it is doubtful if even that is so. Loosening the soil is very important and it can only be done by thorough tillage. Again, tillage aids chemical action, and this will help supply at least the mineral matter to all soils and is especially important in heavy soils. When the earth by means of tillage tools is: disturbed and particles come in contact with each other that never were in contact before chemical action takes place chemcial action. Also, tillage increas- es bacterial activity. Nine of us know in converting inert plant food into sol- - uble plant food so that it may be used ‘3 by the plants. 1 can remember is -‘ _ Lane was..."

L. —7h——"__— VETERINARY. Unflirifty Colt.——I have a. filly eleven months old that has a good appetite, has not shed yet, is growing some, but is very thin. Have given her worm remedies, condition powder, and also changed feed, but nothing I have done seems to help her. Sometimes she ~ . shows lameness in one quarter, then in another. I thought she might be trbu- bled with lice, but I find none on her. F. E. B. Mesie’k, Mlch.—Give her 15 ' drOps fluid extract nux vomica, 2 drs. tincture gentian, 2 drs. tincture cin~ chona and 1 dr. Fowler’s solution at a dose two or three times a day. In ad- ditjon to feeding her grass, give her all the oats and wheat bran she will eat. Give her half a teaspoonful of salt daily. . “- Infectious Abortionf—J have a three- '” year-old cow which aborted a month or six Weeks ago. I suspected this had happened, though I did not know for * certain, until I found the calf in pas- j, - ture kit a. few days ago. Then I re membered she had increased in milk flow some time previous with no ap- parent cause at the time. She gave no evidence of ill health or of injury and . has. been in good flesh continuously. - ‘ - Is there any way of determining if this case is contagious abortion? Would it not. have shown up in' the rest of the herd by this time? What would be the wisest steps to take in this case? She gives nine quarts of milk daily, . came fresh last November, and was due to freshen next October. F. E. F., Norvell, Mlch.—All things considered, you had better breed her again; how- » ever, she may possibly not carry her , - next calf full period. Disposing of ' . abo'rters is not going to materially les- sen the number of miscarriages in a herd, for in stocking up again you are - likely to. purchase diseased heifers or cows. If you have, or can segregate her from the balance of herd for a few weeks do so. \ Bunch on Knee—I have two Jersey cows. both have bunches on knees. Can you tell me what is the cause and . give remedy. I might add that these ,: bunches are soft and cause no lame- ; . ness. 0. D.

Ill. - sscono EDITION. The markets In this edltlon were re- vlsedand corrected on Thursday at- ternoon, July 10. ‘ , WHEAT. Weather conditions have been favor- able for ripening the winter wheat in the northern states. In Indiana the yield will be materially reduced by smut while lodging has been extensive in lows and Kansas and in Nebraska considerable rust has-been reported. New wheat sold in Chicago Monday at $2.29 per bushel. A year ago No. 2 red wheat was quoted on the local market at $2.28 per bushel. The U. S. visible supply decreased 1,972,000 bu. the past week. Great Britain is buy- ing less grain than a year ago. Pres- ent Detroit prices are: No. 2 red ....... ........$2.25 No.2 mixed ............ 2.28 No. 2 white 2.23 CORN. Active buying by both domestic and foreign agents forced corn to a new ' high level for the season early this week. Manufacturers are anxious for the grain, lest they fail to secure am- ple quantities to fill existing orders. Europe is also buying here and South American grain is not coming to this country, but is going to Europe. Crop news is generally favorable, although in many sections complaints are made. \Vet weather in sections of Minnesota, Iowa and Missouri has prevented culti- vation. The crop is late and back- ward in Kansas and army worms have done some damage in western and southern districts. Prices advanced nearly a nickle at the opening this week. The visible supply decreased 239,000 bushels in the past seven days. One year ago No. 3 corn was quoted here at $1.65 per bushel. Present Chi- cago prices are: No. 2 mixed $1.86@ 1.93; No. 2 yellow $1.97@2; Septem- ber $1.95%; December $1.611,4._ De~ troit quotations are advanced as fol- lows: No. 3 corn ..... .....$1.95 No. 3 yellow..... ....... 1.97 No. 4 yellow............ 1.95 No. 5 yellow............ 1.92 No. 3 white............. 2.00 OATS. ‘While cats have advanced, the mar- gin has been proportionately narrower than for corn. In the southern states where threshing has started, the re- turns are said to be disappointing to farmers. The visible supply shows an increase of nearly a million bushels the past week. This aided the bears in keeping prices from following corn too closely. One year ago standard oats were quoted on the local market at 83c per bushel. Chicago is now paying 741.4@751/4 for No. 2 white. De< troit prices are: No.2White IOICIIIOIOUOOOO75 No. 3 white ..............74% No. 4White I‘CIOCCICOIIOO78% RYE. A bumper crop of this cereal is about ready for harvest. The market is higher than a week ago, the local quotation for cash No. 2 being $1.45 per bushel. BEANS. Government reports on the quantity of beans planted in Michigan and Col- orado show a much smaller acreage than was devoted to this crop at year ago. ~Planting has been completed and the growth, especially in Michigan fields, is generally very good. A slight improvement is observed in the local market with 100 added to the price of immediate and prompt shipment, it now being $7.25 per cwt. In New York the best pea and medium grades are offered freely at $7.50, while many sales are made at 10@15c below this figure. At Chicago the demand and supply are comparatively light. Pric- es hold steady with choice to fancy pea beans, hand-picked, quoted at $7.25 @750, and red kidneys at $11@11.50.

Pittsburgh—Receipts have been in excess of the local demand, and prices are rapidly declining. Clover hay is almost unsalable. Quotations are, No. 1 timothy $37.50@38; No. 1 light mix- ed $33.50@85; No. 1 clover mixed $28 @29; No. 1 clover $25@28. ' CHEESE. Competition for stocks of cheese to satisfy current demand and specula- tive interest has forced prices upward. Michigan flats are quoted at Detroit at 320; daisies 33c; brick 31%0. In New York whole milk current make specials are quoted at 3134611321,“; do average run 30%®311,§c. The Phil- adelphia trade is paying 31%@33c for full milk offerings. BUTTER.

Peas are in good ‘ demand and inquiries for corn are in - x ' evidence. Prices for dried fruits are firmly held. * DETROIT CITY MARKET g . Berries, make up a considerable por-. tion of the offerings on the city mar- kets. Red raspberries are selling at $16 per bushel; black do $9@10; cab- .is reperted with thef'm‘nge from 50@ 540.

Phi ‘adelphia trade is firm with west- ern stock quoted at $14.40@15 a case. POTATOES. The commercial crop of the north- ern potato growing states shows an excellent stand although the acreage is reported to be less than thavof last year. During the hot weather the plants grew too much to stalk in Wis- consin, while heavy rains caused some seed rotting in Minnesota. The old potato market is over, at least sales are so few that it is difficult to secure satisfactory quotations.

V i GRAND RAPIDS Wheat and rye harvesting was in progress in Kent and adjoining coun- g .~ ties last week, though a little wheat~ was cut the last day of June. This week'it will become general and indi- cations are an excellent yield of both cereals. Timothy hay crop will not .be as large as anticipated. Old meadowhé are reported light. Although of excel— lent length the grass was thin. From twenty acres one farmer reports get- ting only sixteen,loads.' Seedmen are anxious about the forthcoming crop of clever seed. They have advices that on account of light hay crop, and pre- vailing high prices, most farmers will cut their rowen for hay ratherthan let it stand for clover seed. Oats and barley are heading on short straw. Beans are reported to have germinat- ed well and sugar beets and bad:- wheat are making rapid growth. More ' rain is needed for crops in large areas in this section, especially for corn and . potatoes. ” ' .

Eorme'r Governor Deneen is new on gaged in defending some of the dairy- n‘ien under' conspiracy section of the - criminal laws of Illinois.

'Thesituation seemed to be sum- ciently important to warrant the fol- lowing statement from the executive office, the opinion of the attorney gen- . eral having been that the law was un- constitutional. “The.policy expressed in this bill, in my opinion, is sound.’ To deprive the farmers of the right of collective bar- gaining is to deprive them. in effect, of all right of bargaining.’ If the in- dividual farmer must act alone in the sale of his products he is compelled to take whatever price is offered. He therefore is not in a position to deal equally with the great concerns with which he must do business. Farmer lee Other Teller. “The farmer is dealing largely with the product of his own toil. There- fore, to admit the principle of collec- . tive bargaining as applied to men em— ployed in othel‘ industries and to deny it to the farmer is unjust discrimina- tion." ,NEW YORK PRODUCE MARKET.

Why tractor manufacturers answer, “From three to fifteen years” RACTOR manufacturers reckon the life of the average tractor to be anywhere from three to fifteen years. Why? Partly because some working conditions are harder than others. ~But mainly because the owner's care in operation differs so greatly. One manufacturer puts it this way: “Some of our tractors have run through four seasons and have done an immense amount of work without a dollar’s worth of repairs. The tractor is efficient in proportion to the efficiency of the operator." Another says, “The life of the tractor depends largely upon the operator. A tractor that in one operator’s hands might be in good working condition at the end of 5 or 6 years, might in the hands of another operator be ready for junk in two years.’ The life of the average tractor cannot today be accurately reckoned largely be- cause the care and lubrication of tractors 18 not uniform ' question, But this much is plain: Pur- chasers of the better makes of. tractors who are giving their machines proper mechanical atten- tion and scientific lubrication count confidently on from 5 to 7 vears of service. A A quick inspection before use shows them that the tractor is ready for work. Careful operation is a habit with them. The correct grade of Gargoyle Mobiloils—used by the large majority of tractor manu- facturers at the tractor demonstra- tions —insures their engines against undue wear, excessive heat, power loss. \ These tractor manufacturers knew the real answer to the “How long should a tractor last?” at e a Gargoyle Mobiloils are put up in r- and 5- gallon sealed cans, in 15-, 30- and 55- gallon steel drums, and in wood half. barrels and barrels.
