Tho Little Threshins Machine.

For 81 small machine would advo-
cate an 1SX22 12-bar cylinder, writes
one who has tried it; that is, Is inches
long and % inches in diameter
Such "a machine complete with
self feeder, wind stacker, grain
weigher and loader, can be bought for
$500 The machine without the extra
attachments would cost 1910; self
feeder $3.50; wind stacker s235;
weigher and loader dakota style)
s75; AN Sinch Apply canvas belt
s35. A gasoline engine, 1O-horse
power, can be bought for $500. and l
think a. 10 or 12-horse power would
be sufficient for Il threshing machine
of this size. This whole rig would
then cost in the neighborhood Of
$1,100, which is quite a difference from
paying from $4,000 to $4,000 for one
Of the big rigs
A small rig like this could thresh
from the shock with perhaps five or
six people. namely four bundle teams,
one man to tend the engine and sep
aratQr, and one or two men 10 handle
the threshed grain, if it is to be handled
some distance to the granary. and, if
SO much discussed in the Dakota
Farmer. But if you have already the
shingled granary, by all means haul
the grain to it. and If 1t rains much
or little after you have started thresh-
ing. your grain is safe for seed or
anything else.
A machine the size quoted should
thresh from 400 to 500 bushels OF
wheat per day. This would be quite a
little faster than stacking the crop
and somewhat easier on the pitchers
on the average farm. Where there Is
insufficient help on the farm. 1t would
be best for three or four small farm
ers to club together and do their own
.threshing In this way perhaps, they
could raise help enough of their own
without having to resort to hiring
transient hoboes, who generally
speaking, are little but nuisance.
lust at the time help is needed IN
harvest, you go to town TO-DAY ana
hire the transient, only to md that
he is gone tomorrow when ne is
needed the most to help save the crop.
II 1t was necessary to hire help, 1t
would he easier in this way to get one
or two good men than have to PICK
IN a half a dozen transients who think
that from So to SIS per day should be
held out to them for doing nothing.
Another thing in favor of the small
thresher, where four or more small
farmers can unite to do their work, is
that they would be thru threshing
when they otherwise might not be
more than thru stacking. With
four farmers united in this way, they
ought to be thru threshing in from
eight to twelve days, and they would
then be free to plow, haul grain 70
town. to put up the balance OF the nay
or do any other pressing work.
Threshing expenses are something
which hits every farmer good and
hard. and we would like to hear from
many others on this important matter.
with the increase in the use OF gaso-
line engines and with the advent OF
denaturized alcohol, threshing ex-
penses may be somewhat lowered.

Black Teeth in Pics.

This condition is frequently brought
to our attention. but as yet we have no
satisfactory explanation to offer for
their presence. They are also found in
health, IS we have observed in heads
at the slaughter houses. Undoubtedly
too much stress has been laid upon this
condition. In young pigs, where this
condition is most frequently seen, long
sharp teeth may. be present which 1t
would be better to cut off. Dentition
may also be taking place and the black
tooth may be a shell, and there may be
irritation of the gums, causing the pig
to hold the mouth open, to salivate and
to refuse to eat.

For a Hidebound Horse.

When a horse is hidebound it is US
ually caused by being in poor and
unthrifty condition. A horse in good
physical health is not hidebound. There
may be number Of causes for this
condition in horses such as worms,
lack of the right kind of feed or the
want of either feed or shelter or both.
A horse may have fairly good care and
feed, but. on account of bad teeth, may
not be able to secure nourishment from
the food. Try to determine the cause
and then remedy it. If the horse is
run down physically small amount of
pulverized gentian and ginger in feed
will stimulate the appetite and di-
gestion.

OPENING COURT w1rH PRAYER


(waterloo Courier)
brothers. you may be able to beat
me here but as certain as there is
God in heaven. you must all appear
before higher court and answer Tor
the deeds of this hour"
Such were the burning words OF
Aquila Walker, the eccentric James
vile citizen, who for years has peen
interested in the GAINESVILLE water
Power company, and who lost his case
as defendant in a suit to enforce col
lection of a note of 500 brought by
p. j. Martin in Justice A. y. SWltzer' >
court yesterday afternoon.
1--WE will take our chances on this
proposition,' calmly responded A. 3.
L1ovejoy, counsel for Mr.. Martin, who
had been called over by the court, who
gave notice that Walker desired to ar
que motion to set aside the judgment
rendered against him last week.
In spite of the earnest protestations
of the court, Walker insisted on open
ing the case with prayer.
"You needn't pray" commanded Mr..
Switzer; argue your case and be done
with it,"
But determined to ask for divine
guidance. the aged and enfeebled Wal
ker. clad in rough garb, raised his hand
in supplication and proceeded to ask
for blessing upon the court, hlmself,
the opposing counsel and others con-
nected with the case.
cts a trayesty upon religion and a
mockery to God" declared the court,
after he had refused to set aside the
judgment
walkers reason for having the
Judgment reversed was that Mr.. Mar
tin had practiced fraud upon him. but
he produced absolutely no evidence to
substantiate the charge and expected
the court to enter decree merely on
Walkers allegations. He said he had
bargained for certain tract OF land
and the mortgage called for only por-
ton of It,
"When I had went and saw how
them papers were made out seen that
had been hornswoggled," declared the
aged litigart. II could of had wit
nesses a-plenty here to prove that
Martin is willy one if had the mon
sey," he lamented; but jest because
am poor you want to crush me down
deeper and deeper"
At this juncture he promised that
Mr.. Martin, the court and Attorney
Lovejoy would get their just deserts in
the next world.
It will be remembered that Walker
agreed to dispense with a jury at the
formal hearing Of the case on condi-
ton that he be permitted to pray.

Dairy Notes.

Keeping cream at home over three
days, even in winter, is one way Of
not producing high-grade cream.
Even IL you can keep it from getting
sour, you cannot keep it from getting
old, and when cream gets old it
becomes stale and has a bitter taste
which Injuries the flavor OF the butter
it produces.
After twenty years of feeding silage,
some Of it in the summer months and
under many conditions, that veteran
ensilage dairyman of Ohio, John
Gould, says he is quite sure that sill
age needs small amount of dry
roughage with it to get the best re-
suits. This is not to be wondered at
because the same is true of grass.
Cows will do better with a little dry
hay each day which they will readily
eat in the stables when on grass. I'm
der ordinary circumstances, the cow
never loses her relish for the silage.
In time it seems to have a loosening
effect that the dry feed corrects.
One OF the most remarkable things
about COW prices in the country is that
the farmers do no properly appreci-i

pays big profit and cow that pays
no profit. They place the price near
together, on the general proposition
that "a COW is a cow This sort OF

theory is costing the farmers a great
deal every year When they offer poor
cows for sale, as rule, they want as
much for them as they would want Tor
good cows. These poor cows are max
ing their owners poor also. The nrst
indication of waking up to the true
situation on any farm is when the
farmer begins to make a wide differ
ence between the prices he will take
for his good and his poor COWS.

The simplest remedy is to clip the

some strong tobacco in water
is effectual, but is somewhat poisonous
if used too freely or made too strong.
One pound of tobacco to four gallons

strong enough. Coal oil is too hard
