Keep All Machines in Working Order.

Keep All Machines IN working Order.
Let us give some of the much abused
implement manufacturers credit for
placing on their machines, in plain
letters, at least one half Of the recipe
for implement longevity: Keep nuts
tight" and "oil all bearings" Yet
fear that through very familiarity
with this important advice we often
neglect it. For surely no one who has
handled farm machinery and observed
its decline in his own or his neighbor's
hands, will ask argument as to the
necessity of oiling the bearings and
keeping nuts tight There are many
things to look after upon the farm,
and II one is not wide awake some
thing is apt to suffer neglect. And this
when it applies to machinery, consti-
tutes a great farm leak
From the vibration of many ma
chimes, and from the shrinking OF wood
parts in all of them, there is constant
tendency for the nuts to work lose.
If care is taken in the first place to
keep things snug, so there is no lost
motion" the vibration will be much
reduced, but it is sometimes a very
good plan to put on an extra nut where
there is continued trouble-the two
will stand lot of shaking. Go over
all machines, some wet day and tight
en- everything that ought to he tight.
But if you will fail to have wet days,
then do it before starting to work. 1t
will surely pay, for, even if no perma-
nent damage is done, there is great
los of time when one must stop in the
middle of field and chase his shadow
half mile for a bolt. Another case in
point: A wagon just coming out of its
newness was neglected until one day
solid hour was needed to replace lost
nuts and bolts. Ten minutes would
have done the work earlier.
Little and often is a good rule in
oiling. think more farmers are more
careful in this direction than in watch
ing the nuts. Windmills. however, are
liable TO suffer. simply because they

Plows on being put away, should
have their shares and shovels carefully
smeared with axle grease or good
heavy oil. Coal oil will not answer;
though it is good TO cut rust it will
not prevent it.
Paint is paying protection on both
wood and metal parts, for it can be
had cheaply and is easily applied by
anyone. Two years ago the writer
purchased for five dollars second
hand breaking plow. The share was
very rusty and the original paint was
gone entirely. We finally persuaded ii
to "scour," gave it a good coat of
paint, used it a year, and sold 1t

selection of food
Many pure food bills have been in
troduced and some passed by State
legislatures; many have been offered
to Congress, but all thus far seem OBJ
jectionable.
1t has seemed difficult for politicians
to formulate a satisfactory bill that
would protect the common people and
yet avoid harm 10 honest makers and
prevent endless trouble TO retailers. No
government commission or officer has
the right 10 fix food standards'' TO de-
fine what the people shall and shall not
eat, for what agrees with one may not
agree with another and such act would
deprive the common citizen of his per-
sonal liberty. The Postum Cereal Co.,
Ltd, perhaps the largest makers of
prepared foods in the world, have nat
urally close knowledge of the needs
of the people and the details of the
business of the purveyors, dhe retail

have prepared g bill for submission 10

plish the desired ends. and inasmuch

food protection even when he enters
another State it is deemed proper that
the govt take control of this matter
and provide national law TO govern
all the States. A copy of the bill is
herewith reproduced
Sec. governs the maker whether the
food is put mp in small packages sealed,
or in barrels, boxed or otherwise.
Sec. 2 governs the retailer, who may
open barrel and sell the food in
small quantities. When he puts the
goods into paper bag he must also
enclose a printed copy of the statement
of the maker which was affixed TO the
original pkg. and inasmuch as the re-
taller cannot undertake TO guarantee
the statement of ingredients he must
publish the statement of the makers
and add his own name and address as
a guarantee of his selling the food as
1t is represented TO him which relieves
the retailer Of responsibility OF the
truth of the statement and throws it
upon the maker, where it properly be-
longs.
The remaining sections explain them
selves.
The Postum Cereal Co., Ltd, for ex-
ample. have from the beginning of its
existence printed on the outside of each
and every pkg, of Postum and Grape
Nuts food truthful and exact state
ment of what the contents were made
OF in order that the consumer might
know precisely what he or she was eat
ing. A person desiring 10 buy. for in
stance, strictly pure fruit jelly and
willing TO pay the price has a right TO
expect not only an equivalent for the
cost but further right to certainty
as to what he eats. Or he may be
willing to buy at less cost n jelly made
part of fruit juices. sugar and portion
of glucose. But he must be supplied
with truthful information of the ingre-
dients and be permitted TO use his per-
sOnal liberty to select his own food
accurately.

To be told by maker or retailer that
the food Is pure" is not satisfactory.
Candy may contain pure" white clay
or pure" dyes and yet be very harm
ful. Syrups may contain pure" glu-
cose and yet be quite digestible and
even beneficial. Tomato catsup may
contain small amount of salicylic or

tive, which may agree with one and be
harmful to another.
Wheat flour may contain portion of
corn flour and really be improved.
Olive oil may be made of cotton seed

WAR TIDE IS
SWEEPING ON
Government Will Not
Grant Demands of
People

st. Petersburg, May 23-Professor
Milukoff, spokesman for the constitu-
tional democrats, according to a
thoughtful article published in the
Rech today, is rather respondent over
the prospects for staying the tide OF
revolution. Milukoff bases his pessis-
smism on conviction that the govern
ment will not yield a full constitutional
regime. He regards Premier Goremy-
kin and his cabinet as mere puppets,
doing the bidding of powerful infiu-
ences at the court.
Provincial newspapers are filled with
advertisements of estates for sale, the
owners despairing of saving their
property. and are ready to accept what
they can get. and flee the country.
Professor Milukoff believes the en-
peror is destined to throw away the
opportunity as Louis XVI did OF
transferring the country to a peace
ful parliamentary regime. Neverthe-
less, the constitutional democrats will
persevere in their attempt to place the
country on solid constitutional basis
and II they fail and disaster follows the
responsibility will not be on theiI
shoulders.
Professor Milukoff considers thii
form OF government a last chance and
believes that refusal will strengthen
the revolutionary elements, which art
preaching the parliamentarism illu'
sion and which will make anarchy and
a bloody revolution. inevitable.
