Before evening the farmer was talk
ing his family over the prairie roads.
The beauty of the prairies for auto
MODELLING is that the roads are good a
great part of the year. Kansas is in
the latitude of Tennessee and.Washing-
ton and the seasons, except winter,
are long. AS a result the motoring is
at a speed that is delight to the
drivers.
To be sure there is a 20-mile state
speed limit, but who cares for that?
The driver who keeps within it on a
three-mile stretch of smooth road
with no team in sight is a rarity.
The kind Of car that appeals to the
ia mer is useful one. He wants to
get regular service and 1t is no pleas
ant thing for him to have his car out
of condition.
There is farmer near here who
makea his runabout truck wagon
and business cart. He takes In it a
few sacks of wheat and hurries to the
mill and brings home groceries for the
men In the fields.
His wife runs 1t as we'll as he does
aid she carries to market her garden
stuff and her butter and eggs 1t is
a curious sight to see her peddling
farm products around the city in the
little runabout. Then in the evening
the family comes to town with the
same machine, and the concert is en-
joyed as regularly by this party as
by the people on the block next the
park.
Rural mail carriers are eager to get
runabouts. 1t is an easy thing to
make the run OF 20 miles in three
hours. AS was pointed out, the long
period of good roads makes it feas-
ible to use the machine so much of
the year that there is real economy
in it.
Anything like a general use of
motor cars by farmers can never be
known until the machinery is made
simpler, though some of the present
models give even the farmer little
trouble. 1t is less likely to have good
care on the farm than in the garage
but 1t Is also likely to be let alone
when running smoothly. and that ID

important.

How to Purchase Calves.

In order to make any feeding oper.
alton profitable the stock must BIO OBJ
tanned at reasonable price. because
even a pure-bred animal will not bring
more on the block than its value for
meat. and thus the original cost Of
the animal together with the cost Of
the feed must be smaller than the
selling price. Calves may be bought
by the pound or by the head, the lat
ter being the most common way OF
buying and selling in the west and
southwest. The suggestion is made
that feeders unaccustomed to handling
young cattle should buy them by the
pound, because they are likely to over
estimate their weight. thus at the
outset assuming serious handicap
in a profitable sale.-Ernest G.. Ritz

FARMERS OWN AUTOS

Salina, Kan.-Practically as many
motor cars are owned by farmers in
Kansas as are possessed by the towns
people. The farmer has learned to
appreciate the advantage of the auto
mobile for his journeys to and from
town.
Then there are other considerations.
A farmers son from the south part of
the county went to county seat gar
age the other Saturday evening.
What have you that will make a
nice rig to take fellows girl riding
in?" he asked the agent.
We'll, there's a runabout that is
pretty swift"
"Will 1t climb hills? You see she
lives on the other side of Tom Creek
hill and have to cross it."
Sure. Get int and the two went
out to the edge of town, where a
demonstration was made to show the
PAGES of the machine.
Guess it will do" was the verdict
as they came back to the garage, and
the young man took from his pocket
check book and made out a check
for the price. Made that off my al
falfa field" he remarked as he
climbed back into the seat and called
professional driver to accompany
him until he could manage the levers
and wheel.
We'll learn 1t tonight" he an
nounced; because I'm going to take
her riding tomorrow"
AS he did not return it is presumed
that he did take her riding.
1t was a central Kansas farmer who
arose one morning and declared that
he would like to have an auto. His
wife remarked that curing the week
they would go to town and see what
was to be had.

FALL FLOWED LAND.
Freezing Of Winter Brings Soil Into
Better TiIth In Spring.

As much blowing as possible should
be done in the fall on the western
farm. The soil turned up is exposed
to the frosts OF winter, and they pene-
trate 1t to a considerable depth. It
has been found that soils that are
covered with sod are not penetrated
more than half as deep by the frost
as are those soils recently plowed. 1t
is desirable to loosen the earth below
the depth to which the pillow goes
This is especially valuable in clay
soils. With ground plowed well be-
fore the coming Of frost. the soil will
be found frozen often to the depth
of 20 inches. This means that every
particle to that depth Is moved, to a
small extent. The expansion OF the
particles of moisture pushes apart
and breaks up the most retentive soil.
Clay soil that has been well drained
is thus made friable to a great depth.
and when spring comes and the frost
goes out Of the ground the soil will
be so loose that air can penetrate to
a great depth and chemical action be
made way for.
The manures in the surface soil are
disintegrated and some of them are
washed down to the depth the frost
has gone, says Farmers Review. The
following result is that the roots of
the plants seek the cool moist earth
below II there be in it plenty Of plant
food. and the plants supported by the
roots are the more able to resist any
drouth that may come in summer.
Where drouths are common 1t is de-
sirable to have plants root as deeply
as possible.
Fall plowed land also will be found
freer of cutworms and other injurious
insects In the spring. Some of these
insects try to get below the frost
line, or at least to a point where freez-
ing and thawing in the early spring
is not possible. The blowing Of the
land turns up these insects and,
though they be still covered by the
soil. leaves the ground so loose about
them that they freeze. and that sew
eral times in the late fall or early
spring and are thus killed. While
fall blowing does not entirely wipe
out the army of cutworms that may
be in any ground it greatly lessons
their number
