Grain ssored in one large bin will
often heat. A good many dollars would
be saved h the temperature down in
the grain could be known at any time.
This has been made possible by the
Zeleny thermometer, says Popular
Electricity. About 80 years ago 1t
was found that two metals, such as
bismuth and anthony, II heated while
In contact would generate an electro
motive force and this principle, that
of the thermo-eleetric pile, is used in
this device
In the illustration one wire of nick
chopper is run in a conduit for pro-
lection down into bin represented
at the left. At various points taps are
taken off with copper wire. An ordi-
nary galvonometer and scale Is placed
on the wall near a contact board on
which the wires terminate. When the
lever is in the position shown, all the
circuits are open and the scale (S)

SUBSTITUTE FOR BUNDLE BEE

The implement here illustrated Is a
mechanical substitute for a humble
bee and its purpose is to cross pol,
lenize clover
The machine consists of a platform.
the under side of which is covered
with a myriad of minute fibrous
fingers arranged like the bristles of a
brush, says Popular Mechanics. The
end Of each fiber is covered with a
rubberlike substance to which the
pollen of the clover will cling
When driven across a field. the plat
form, or frame, moves up and down,
the little fingers reaching down into
the heads of the clover All that is
required Of the operator of the ma
chine is to know when the pollen is
in the proper state to be carried from
one blossom to another by the ma
chine
The clover pollen, unlike that of
most plants. is heavy and has a ten
dency to adhere TO the heart of the
blossom. The period in which the
pollen can be carried from one bios
som to another lasts not longer than

SCIENCE TO HELP FARMERS
Plan That May Revolutionize Farming
Methods in Genesee Valley In
Western New York

Several farmers of western New
York are considering a plan that has
been suggested to them by one Of
their sons who is attending the Cor
nell agricultural school. The plan con-
sists in a number of farmers who re-
side not too far apart forming an as
ISOLATION and hiring an expert scien-
tiiic farmer who could intelligently d.
rect the farming operations of the
members. analyze the different soils
and determine what they lack and the
crops best suited to the land. instruct
the members in the preparation OF the
different formulas for spraying trees
and growing crops and the proper time
to spray, and in the proper selection
of different seeds for planting
The farms in that vicinity will not
average much over 100 acres and in
the rough draft of the plan 1t was fig
ured that If twenty farmers could be
enrolled who would be willing to pay
500 year each. first-class man
could be secured and he would have
but slightly over 1000 acres to super
wise, with no manual labor to do With
the superintendent located at some
central farm where he could be access
sible on the telephone and with some
fairly rapid means of conveyance the
plan looks feasible and may revolu.
tionize farming methods In the Gene

LIVING IN COOPERATIVE AGE
Thousands of Ways In Which Farmer
Can Be Benefited by Forming
Local Organizations.

We are living in an age OF coopera
ton and 1t is beneficial SO long as its
legitimate functions are adhered to
All trades and professions are more
Inclined to the cooperative Idea thar
farming and there is where the knight
of the soil makes a mistake. There
are thousand ways In which farm
ers can be benefited by forming local
cooperative associations, concerning q
given territory, and holding meetings
at stipulated times, not too far apart,
says Farm and Orchard. The farmer
Is penny wise and pound foolish who
Is not willing to leave his field half
day occasionally to mingle and ex-
change ideas with his fellows.
Smith, Jones and Brown each needs
n harvester Three machines can be
bought proportionately cheaper than
one and rhe transportation = barge
will also be less. Each may have for
sale a small crop of wheat. The guam.
THY owned by one is not sufficient to
justify looking for the best market
advantages, but put the three crops to-
gether and they can be marketed
jointly to the benefit of all three and
with no more effort than would be re-
CURED to dispose OF the holdings of
one. The same holds good In the pur-
chase of all Kinds of seeds, fertilizers,
live stock and farm implements of all
kinds, as we'll as In the marketing Of
everything produced on the farm.
There are different pieces OF ma
chinery that might be owned and used
Jointly by farmers and in that way
represent but a small outlay by each.
There Is no subject in which farm
ers and rural dwellers generally
should be more interested than In the
construction and maintenance OF good
roads. Take road over which one
ton only can be hauled to market with
two-horse team, improve 1t so as to
be able to haul two tons with the
same team. and the distance to mar
ket has been reduced by one-half The
extra tax required for road improve
ment Is mere bagatelle compared to
the advantages the good roads will
afford
The feeders of public roads are pri-
yate roads, and several farmers may
often use and enjoy the same private
right of way and keep it in repair at
their joint expense Aside from all
the considerations sounding In dol
lars and cents, it is the pleasure of So
cial intercourse and personal friend;
ship resulting from It in the country
in the coming together Of men for
one common purpose. The selfish,
narrow-minded individual who wants
to live entirely to himself and for
himself is a curse to himself, and to
the whole human family.

PLANS FOR HANDLING GRAIN
FARMERS Union In Washington and
0snhandle of Idaho to Sell
Crop Through Agents.

One of the most important moves to
RSe made by the Farmers Educational
and Cooperative union during the
ETeSent year, according to State Presi-
Gent L. c. Crow is the districting of
she warehouses owned or leased by
EIze union in the grand jurisdiction,
which comprises Washington and tho
Panhandle Of Idaho
The idea is to form five or six dis
Gricts. with central selling agency in
zach district, the agency to be To-
GATED in the commercial center of the
district. The central agency in each
district will be in close touch with
42le coast agency, and the manager of
eaach warehouse In the district will in
r17Arn be kept advised of conditions of
aTae grain market through the central
aigpncy
,J,he central agencies in the five or
assx districts will have control of the
entire warehouse system of the union.
tssaaCn agency will have control of the
warehouses in Its territory, while the
-lhac4s!s of agencies will form board
sasf directors.
Where the locals do not. or cannot,
avn or operate a warehouse the men,
5ers VIII store their grain in the old
&Ene houses and mark it, reporting to
6heir local secretary as to the amount
Atored, who. in turn. reports to the
central agency in the district
The warehouse business. as handled
10y the union during the last year, has
nasen successful beyond expectation
sxAd has saved the farmers no little
money. Much of the grain held until
prives advanced was held In union
warehouses and under advice of lead
mrs in the union, who were keeping
IN close touch with conditions through
'Ehe agency on the coast.

(By \ HIRED MANI


The owner of our farm and another
man besides myself and a sixteen.
year-old boy as chore boy and mes
senger. farm 100 acres of land and
farm 1t right too. In the spring we
put four good horses on a riding pillow
or three on the big disk and keep
them hustling along We harrow
mostly with four horses, because In
this way one man and the team can
cover nearly as much ground as two
men and two teams. We hitch two
horses to the drill and always use a
two-horse riding cutivator for the
corn.
When haying time comes we use
a hay loader and side delivery rake
and the hay fork with the horse on
be end of the rope makes the job
comparatively easy.
Sometimes We help cut neighbor
and he gives us a lift later notice
that the boss always takes care of
his own nay and grain first before
he works out any trade Somehow,
he seems TO be always a little ahead
of our neighbors so that this arrange
ment works well. Our grain is al
6ays stacked, although some of our
neighhors thresh right out of the field.
This saves time, but our boss seems
to think that wheat that goes through
sweat in the stack keeps better In
storage. Our threshing is done by a
man With his own machine and crew.

Sheep Parasites.

Internal parasites are the worst enc
mics of sheep and the stomach worm
is perhaps the worst of these. Any
ground long pastured with infested
sheep will become infested with these
parasites. Prevention is better than
cure. Change pastures often and
pasture as much as possible In stub.
Bile fields and other fields that have
been In cultivation. Especially pasture
the ewes and lambs In clean pasture.
In the fields that have been cultivated
the parasites have been killed off.
