-HE methods of farming followed

"HE methods of farming followed
today are made possible only
by the use of modern labor
saving machinery. The farm
hand Of today needs brains more than
muscles. The ability to handle a COM
plicated machine successfully Is more
valuable than the power to do a hard
days manual labor.
With the coming Of improved ma
chinery the problem Of what to buy
and what TO get along without has be-
come a serious one. The farmer has
more money tied up In machinery than
In any one thing besides his land.
Having too much machinery is nearly
as Dad as having too little. What is
IISsuCu IS IA wIse seievIIun.
1t is always we'll to do little figur-
ing before buying new machine. Di-
viding the cost of the implement by
the number of years 1t may be reason
ably expected to last will give the
amount that must be charged to de-
probation each year. Add to this an
allowance for repairs, storage and
cslCu gCdl . VI lut lulcltSl, anu
you will have the yearly cost of the
machine. A little further figuring will
show whether the benefit received
from 1t in a year will warrant this
cost.
Machinery may be roughly divided
ing. harvesting and miscellaneous. OF
the many tillage implements there are
some that are absolutely necessary on
any farm. Among these are the plows.
For the farmer ON a quarter section a
sixteen inch riding plow will be all
that is needed for the field work. In
addition It may be well to have a
cheap walking pfow for plowing the
garden, turning out potatoes and for
use in case of an emergency. A gang
plow requires too many horses to be
practicable on the average 160 acre
farm. On larger farms, where plenty
of horses are available, gang plow
will save the time of an extra man. 1t
is good plan to have the plow sup
piled with two or three moldboards
of different slants. A steep mold
board pulveriZes the soil more and for
this reason is a good thing to use on
stubble land. On clover sod, however,
a longer moldboard should be used in
order to lessen the draft
One of the most important tillage
implements is the disk No other ma
chine will pulverize the soil so quick
ly or thoroughly. The use of tongue
truck-a small two wheeled arrange
ment-under the rear end of the
tongue is of considerable advantage
In taking the weight off the horses
necks. Solid wheel disks pulverize
the ground more thoroughly than
spaders or cutaways.
a good harrow is necessity on any
farm. The flexible type is best for all
conditions, as 1t gets down into the
| hollows and rides over trash better
than will solid frame harrow.
| Spring tooth harrows. rollers and
weeders all have their special uses,
but can hardly be said to be neces-
sary on the average quarter section
Next In order come the cultivators,
and there are so many styles of these
that choosing Is a difficult matter. The
most important part of the cultivator
Is the shovels. A happy medium is
struck In the six shovel type The
shovels on this can be run deep
