Mr.. Gedney in his automobile and

Both were rounding the corner of the
freight house and each was trying to
avoid the other and the usual result fol-

bicycle and considerably bruised and
shaken up, but not seriously hurt. He
was taken to DR.. Hoods Office and from
there to his home. Luckily for Jim, Mr..

Winter Care of
Farm Machinery
H. H. Hughs,
Agricultural College, N. D.

: 1t is not too late in the season to
say a word about the all-too; common
practice of letting the machinery
stand all winter in the accumulated
dust and grease of the seasons work,
the bright parts exposed to rust, the
woodwork exposed to the sun, the rain,
and cracking effects of the frost.
Wherever shelter can be provided
there is no good excuse for the neg
lect of 80 important part of the farm
equipment. Such shelter need not
be expensive, but it should be proof
against rain and snow. If it adds 20
per cent to the life Of the average
binder or wagon-a very moderate es-
timate-it is big money saver when
all the machinery on the farm is taken
into account. -.
There are, we know only too well,
a great many who cannot house their
machinery. The average renter cam
not afford to build the necessary sheds.
The new settler, burdened with debt,
is forced for a time, it may be, to
leave such matters to later. and better
times.
At any rate pull the machinery into
row on clean and high place, where
the snow will not be so apt to lodge
about 1t. Take of all canvass, reels,
and siekles. Protect the binder and
mower guards, so that chance injury
to stock will not occur. Clean all the
bearings, take off all the chains, clean
out the tool boxes, put everything in
shape to hitch the team on in the
spring. Make out list of new cast
ings needed, get them, and put them
on. Go over all the burrs and see that
they are tight. With a cloth rub hard
oil over all polished surfaces, such as
pillow lays. Turn unused wagon boxes
upside down. Remove pillow tongues
or turn them about SO that they viii
not bess broken. Take of all eleVises
and store clevises, sickles (wen oiIedl,

are safe from rust and the small boy.

the building was only slightly damaged

success that 1t has been in the past:
People are generally skentical about
going into a building after 1t has once
been through fire and 1t would prob
ably be a hard matter ito run the
theatre on. a paying basis in that build
ing. The management Of, the Star
says that they will start as soon as
a building that is available can be
found and the theatre will run on the
same lines as before but there will be
several changes made IN the present.

each week there will be two seperate
acts each week, a change being made
on: Thursday when new people will be
