the most complicated machine on the
farm and the one most likely to get
out Of order. In buying a binder sim
plicity Of construction, ease Of adjust
ment and hardness Of oiling are i'm
portant points to look after. A tongue
truck is az attachment that should 60
with every binder. This is the only
means Of eliminating side draft that
has yet been discovered. A tongue
truck is rather expensive, but so are
sore shoulders and necks on the horses
at harvest time.
Where much stock is kept the corn
binder is a necessary implement. By
cutting a large share Of the corn and
using it rs fodder or silage much feed
is saved that would otherwise be vast
ed. About 40 per cent of the entire
feeding value Of the corn plant is in
the stalk. When these are left stand
ing in the field the greater part Of this
feed is wasted. The shocked fodder
may proftably be run through a shred
der before feeding. This will husk the
corn and leave the stalks in the best
shape to be fed or used for bedding.
One of the most important of the
miscellaneous implements is the wind.
mill. No farmer a afford to pump
water for his stock by hand when the
wind will do it for nothing after the
mill has once been put up. In erecting

ing trees or buildings will not cut of
the wind. A mill which is geared back
SO that the wheel makes three revolu-
lions or so to one stroke of the pump
will run in a lighter wind than will
the straight geared type. A three
legged tower is just as strong as a
four and considerably cheaper.
A machine that Is almost indispensa-
BILE on a stock farm is the gasoline en-
CINE. The original cost of these en-.
gines Is reasonable, and the amount
required for fuel and repairs is small.

power to u a shelter and grinder
feed can be cheaply and easily pre-
pared for the stock. The engine will

enough to have any to saw. run the
silage cutter. grindstone, separator.
churn and washing machine. 1t may
also replace the windmill as a source
Of power for pumping.
In selecting a gasoline engine be
sure to get one large enough to do the
required work easily, remembering at
the same time that where much light
work is to be done a small engine
viii do it with much less gasoline
than will be used by a large one.
This objection to a large engine can
be overcome to a large extent by so
arranging the work that several light
machines may be run at the same
time. The most reliable type Of en-
CINE Is the four cycle, in which there
are two revolutions Of the f1ywheel to
n explosion. The water system Of
cooling is the most efficient. though
air cooled engines are all right for
light work.
Another necessary machine of the
stock farm is the manure spreader.
Not only does this save a great deal
OF work, but it also applies the ma
nure more evenly and will cover. a
greater amount of ground with a CIV
en- quantity of manure. There should
be little wood in a manure spreadar
since 1t rots out quickly.

Some of the colleges have a great
dislike to the way in which they are
referred to commonly in connection
with athletics. For instance, Wes-
leyan men don't like to be called 1.-The
Methodists," as they appear sometimes.
At the Naval academy there Is a
strong prejudice against being called
Annapolis" The navy men aren't
particularly fond Of ''midshipmen."'
They believe the proper name for their
institution is 1.-The navy"
Columbia has a great distaste for the
name of "Columbians' for their repre-
sentatives in athletics or other public
appearances At the University Of Chi
cago there Is q dislike Of the name
Chicago university" sometimes ap-
piled.
Although not 20 strongly opposed to
Il, students at Pennsylvania do not like
the full title university Of Pennsyl-
vania" as well as plain "Pennsylva-
Ala" Penn is preferred to either.
"Maroons" for Chicago men, "Gophers'
for Minnesota, Badgers" for Wis
consin students, "Cornhuskers" for Ne
braska, "Wolverenes' for Michigan,
"Illini" for the men Of Illinois-all are
names that are popular at those COL

NHE methods Of farming followed

by the use Of modern labor
saving machinery. The farm
hand Of today needs brains more than
muscles. The ability to handle q com.
plicated machine successfully Il more
valuable than the power to do q hard
days manual labor. 4
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 u nearly
as bad as having too little. What Il
needed Is a wise selection.
1t Is always well to do a little 6gur-
ing before buying a new machine. d.
viding the cost Of the implement by
the number Of years It may be reason
ably expected to last WIN give the
amount that must be charged to de-
probation each year. Add TO this an
allowance for repairs, storage and
each years share Of the interest, and
you win have the yearly cost Of the
machine. A little further figuring will
show whether the benefit received
from It In a year will warrant this
cost.
Machinery may be roughly divided
into five classes-tllage, planting, hay
ing, harvesting and miscellaneous. OF
the many tillage implements there are
some that are absolutely necessary on
any farm. Among these r 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 we'll to have a
cheap walking pillow for blowing the
garden, turning out potatoes and for
use in cas- Of an emergency. A gang
pillow requires too many horses to be
practicable on the average 100 acre
farm. On larger farms, where plenty
OF horses ARE available, a gang plow
will say the time Of an extra man. It
is a 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 eason 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
" or thoroughly. The use Of a tongue
truck-a small two wheeled arrange
ment-under the e 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 getaways.
A good harrow is a necessity on any
farm. The flexible type is best for all
conditions, as it gets down into the
hollows and rides over trash better
than will a solid frame harrow.
Spring tooth harrows, rollers and
weeders all have their special uses,
but a hardly be said to be neces-
sary on the average quarter section.
Next in order come the %cultivators,
and there are sc many styles of these
that choosing is a difficult matter. The
most important part of the c%ultivator
is the shovels. A happy medium is
struck in the six shovel type. The
shovels on this "a be run deep

visitors at the teachers meeting
Saturday last.
The weather was very bad, the
corn show in Springfield on Feb.
9Th was a decided success in every
way. There were about seventy
samples of corn the highest score
was 8SH. The large Woodman
hall was crowded with people a
number OF whom came IL to IS.
miles. A very encouraging fea-
ture of the attendance was the
large number OF boys and girls
from the country who YER pre-
sent, and a tact worthy of notice
is that the first and second in yell
low corn was scored by two
young formers Thomas Dempster
and Earl Monfore.
The address by Mr.. G. E. VIM
pie on corn breeding was very
simple, practical and convincing,
Mr.. Wlmple showed himself to
be a man who believes in doing
things.
Mr.. Chamberlain's address was
a mastery one : interesting from
start to finish, He gave many
very practical and helpful sugges-
tons, not only upon corn culture,
but upon boy and girl culture
also. II is a pity that every far
mer, evey farmers wife, and son,
and daughter could not have
heard these two addresses. The
manager of the corr show and the
business men of Springfield are
to be congratulated upon the sue.
