Mcdonald will have charge of the
livestock department at the Interstate
fair this fall.
Professor Mcdonald who is connect
ed with the Washington State Col
lege, at Pullman, has recently re-
turned from Portland and other
points in the Willamette valley,
where he selected some stock for
the College farm, and states that
considerable interest is being mani
tested in the Spokane fair by stock
men of that section. 1t is expected
that many will arrange to bring their
herds for the Interstate fair in spite
of the conflict in dates between Spo-
kane and Portland.
Owing to the stockmen arranging to
show in Spokane as one of the regular
stops from the East to the A.-Y.-P.

SAVE FARM MACHINERY.

Some farmers make the mistake of
using light-bodied oil for field machin-
cry, thoughtlessly forgetting that it has
no staying properties" and must be
often renewed.
One application of thin" oil will
hardly run a mower twice around a
meadow; SO it happens sometimes, in the
very press of harvest work, that mo-
ments are lost in frequent oilings or the
mcahine itself is lost through infrequent
oilings-in either case trouble that
could have been avoided by using a
heavy" oil one-fourth as many times.
Perhaps Ruddy Harvester Oil is the
best example of a proper farm machine
lubricant for it possesses properties
which peculiarly fit it to that class of
machinery. 1t is carefully compounded
to give only the very greatest wear and
satisfaction. One oiling more than an
swers the purpose of several with thin
OLA fact worth considering when time
is a matter of dollars, as is the case in
harvest time.
On half-Worn-out machine, or one
having bearings necessarily loose, "Rud-
dy' oil will be found especially valu
able, as it's heavy body acts almost like
a cushion to absorb jar and shock. Rud
dy Harvester Oil will greatly extend the
useful life of an old machine and large
ly insure new one.
