Races at Valley Farm Trottlng Park

About 200 persons attended the racing
at Valley Farm Trotting Park last Satur-
day and saw some close and exciting fin
ishes. F. II. Joslyn, J. II. Moulton and
Frank Griswold were judges and n. M.
Draper, timer. The winner in the three
minute class was Sterling, Jr., young
and promising stallion owned by A. ). Al
lis OF Brookfield. The horse threw a shoe
in the first heat, which accounted for his
poor showing, and finished the race with
only half shoe on. The 2:40 race was
quite exciting, Stobo and Siphon winning
two heats each, and on account of the dark
ness the first two moneys were divided.
The following is the summary:

LIVE STOCK NOTES.

DOES it pay to buy feed for stock:
asks subscriber. 1t depends, of course,
upon circumstances. If we purchase
feed we can keep more stock, and that
means an improvement of the land.
Still feed may be 50 high and stock SC

IN GOOD CONDITION.
The Importance of Keeping Machinery la
Proper Trim.

The Importance of Keeping Machinery la
Proper Trim.
During the busy season. at least, it is
important TO keep all the machinery in
good working order. A loose bolt or Il
missing screw viii often cause loss of
many times the cost of new one. 1t
is not always this damage to the ma
chinery that is all or even the greatest
part of the loss, as in harvest or haying
the damage to the machinery by a
break is small compared with the loss
of time and after the damage to the
crop. Before starting in to harvest,
care should be taken to overhaul m l.
see that it is in good repair and really
for work. All bolts should be frightened
and if any have been lost new ones
should be put in their place. The work.
ing parts should be thoroughly cleaned
| up and well oiled 50 that they will work
smoothly. 1t is always good economy
to use good oil and plenty of it, at the
same time taking care not to use an ex-
cess. as too much in many cases is nearly
as bad as not enough.
So far as possible avoid leaving ma
Gainery standing out in the hot sun
| when not in use. One of the best pay
| ing investments on the farm is good
shed, under which machinery that is
used more or less through the season
can be kept when not needed in the
field.
| The failure to give proper care to
the machinery needed to carry on the
work costs the farmers good deal of
money that could readily be saved. A
few days exposure to hot sun is
nearly or quite as injurious as one or
two hard storms, and in many cases it
would save time to bring it to the
house and store under shelter rather
than let it stand out as more or less
time is required to adjust it properly.
In majority of cases machinery will
! prove cheaper than hand labor and
can readily be made to pay good
profit on its cost, provided of course, il
is cared for, so that it can be made to
