,UHr methods Of farming followed

:" HE methods Of farming followed
today are made possible only
Ell by the use Of modern labor
saving machinery. The farm
hand Of today needs brains more than
muscles. The ability to handle 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 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 bad as having too little. What Is
neeu,u IA wiso sciccliUn.
1t Ii always well to do little figur.
Ing before buying a 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
each years share of the interest. and
you will have the yearly cost of the
machine. A little further figuring will
show whether the benefit received
from 1t in year will warrant this
cost,
Machinery may be roughly divided
into five classes-tillage, planting, hay
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 quarter section q
sixteen inch riding plow will be all
that Is needed for the field work. In
addition 1t may be we'll to have a
cheap walking plow 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 100 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 good thing to use on
stubble land. On clover sod. however
q 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.
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 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

People past middle life usually
have some kidney or bladder disor-
der that saps the vitality, which is
naturally lower in old age. Foley's
Kidney Remedy corrects urinary
troubles, stimulates the kidneys, and
restores strength and vigor. It
cures uric acid troubles by strength
ening the kidneys so they will strain
out the uric acid that settles in the
muscles and joints causing rheuma-
tism. Burnaugh & Mayfield.

Chamberlain's Liniment.

This is a new preparation and a
good one. 1t is especially valuable as
cure for chronic and muscular rheu
matlsm, and for the relief from pain
which it affords in acute inflamma-
tory rheumatism. Those who have
used it have invariably spoken of it
in the highest terms of praise. Lame
back, lame shoulder and stiff neck
are due to rheumatism of the mus
cles, usually brought on by exposure
o cold or damp, and are quickly
cured by applying this liniment freely
and massaging the affected parts.

induced by violent exercise or injury,

the most complicated machine on the
farm and the one most likely to get
out of order. In buying a binder sim
pllcity of construction, ease of adjust
ment and hardness of oiling are i'm
PGrtant points to look after. A tongue
truck is an attachment that should go
with every binder. This is the only
means Of eliminating side. draft that
has yet been discovered. 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 necessary implement. BY
cutting large share of the corn and
using 1t as 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 profitably be run through n 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 can afford to pump
water for his stock by hand when the
wind will do 1t for nothing after the
mill has once been put up. In erecting
a windmill be sure that 1t is put on a

four and considerably cheaper.
A machine that is almost indispensa-
BILE on stock farm is the gasoline en-
gine. The original cost of these en-
gines is reasonable. and the amount
required for fuel and repairs is small

power to run shelter and grinder

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 small engine
win do 1t with much less gasoline
than will be used by large one.
This objection to a large engine can
be overcome to large extent by so
arranging the work that several light
machines may be run at the same
time. The most reliable type of en-
gine Is the four cycle. in which there
are two revolutions OF the fiywheel to
one 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
