PAINT MATERIALS ON FARM
Winter Is Good Time to Go Over Ma
chinery and Woodwork-High
Paying Investment

Any man can easily learn to use the
paint brush. No particular skill is re
quired. Every farmer should have
two or three good paint brushes OF
different sizes and keep on hand a
supply Of white lead, linseed oil and
paint coloring matter. These mate
rails are comparatively cheap and
when rightly used are a high paying
investment.

are spare days when painting can be
done without interfering with other
work. 1t is good time to go over
all the farm tools and machinery and
give all the wood work one or two

Interests" Thought TO Be After
Some Independent Packers
High Feed Real Cause.

Wsshington-The so-called reduc-
ton in the price of meats is deliber-
ate manipulation Of the market, ac-
cording to DR.. Harvey w. Wiley, chief
of the bureau of chemistry, department
Of agriculture, in a statement made
here.
"The interests which manipulated
the prices.' said DR.. Wiley, "tempor-
arily have released their hold on our
Threats for the purpose of getting a
fresh grip. The so-called reduction in
meats is fictitious.
''It's manipulation was deliberate,
just as the increase in prices was I'M
just, unreasonable and uncalled for by
conditions throughout the country.
The prices were fictitious at the top
notch, because they were forced there
arbitrarily.
Developments will show that the
interests are after someone. 1t may
be some independent firm they hope te
drive from cover"
Secretary Wilson said that the an
nounced reduction in prices was abnor
NAL. He said it was due to drouth II
the cattle raising country increasing
the cost of hay. The farmer with cat
tie on his hands must pay $35 ton TO
his hay and rather than do this, he wal
sending his cattle and sheep to market
This accounted for the sudden tumbl,
in prices, he said.

Lower prices are certain to come, pro

and the consumer there is no combina
ton nor agreement to keep them up.

TO CULTIVATE THE ORCHARD
Vegetable Crops Require Both Manure
and Cultivation, Which Benefit
Pear Trees.
CBy R B. RUsHING)

CBy R. B. RUSHING.)
The first three or four years after
setting It is best to cultivate the pear
orchard In vegetables OF some sort,
but never In wheat or rye. The vege-
table crops require both manure and
cultivation, which benefit the young
pear trees.
When the pear tree makes a fine
growth the fifth year the orchard can
be put in clover and left two or three
years In that crop.
The first crop OF clover may be
taken of. but the second crop should
never be taken of. but should be left
to rot on the ground to enrich the
soil.
While the pear orchard is In clover
1t is beneficial to hoe or grub around
each tree in the spring and keep the
soil loose around it; this destroys
many insects and also keeps them
from nesting there.
Each spring and fall wash down the
trunks and larger limbs of the trees
with a solution of soft soap and water,
about half and half This will destroy
insects and keep the bark smooth and
healthy.
Keep down all suckers from around
the roots and remove all sprouts from
the trunks. The pear. however. needs
but little pruning II the trees make q
strong and vigorous growth for sew
eral years. unless there is a tendency
to grow too much In height at the
expense of the width
Low heads are more desirable. How
ever, when pruning is necessary Il
should be done to conform to the hab
its and natural shape OF the tree.

Milking Young Hslfers.

Should heifers when they first come
In be MIXED three times a day? Some
good authorities claim that they
should. especially when the heifers
are descended from an excellent milk
ing ancestry. The principal argument
In favor of such milking is that the
udder is not able to hold all the milk
that It can secret until time is given
to 1t for further distension through
repetition in the acts Of filing. 1t is
claimed that In some instances serious
discomfort may follow where such
milking Is neglected. II three milk
lngs are thus given. 1t would seem as
though the first should be quite early
In the day. and that the last should be
given quite late.
