The Farmers Automobile.


While automobiles are expensive
vehicles, in a sense, they are daily
becoming less so. Improvements in
methods, materials and knowledge have
made cheaper car possible and the
TACT that the purchasers of fancy cars
aro already supplied has caused man
ufacturers to devote their energies tc
turning out a car that is medium
priced and Of high quality. A new
neld for the marketing of the product
OF their factories was necessary and
this field was found among the farm,
ers. High-priced, fancy cars would not
go with them, but quality would, and
those manufacturers who were shrewd
enough to make car of high quail.
lty at reasonable price have found
ready customers among the farmers.

IN use about 100000 automobiles among
the farmers of this country and some,
thing like 5000 Of these are in Kan.

Do not choose the dormant season
to cut back trees that are growing too
fast to be fruitful; it will only make
them grow the faster in the spring.
Wait till they are in full flush of
growth in May or June if you want to
drive their surplus energies into fruit
buds. Be sure to carry a paint pot
along with the primers, and whenever
a limb as much as an inch in diane
ter is cut off, cover the wound with oil
and white lead TO keep out dampness
and the entrance Of fungi spores that
VIII produce rot. In the spring this
cover is not so necessary, for as soon
as growth begins the tree will begin
to cover its wounds with new wood
that will creep over it from all sides

Fowls Require Salt.

Fowls require salt in their ration In
order to thrive best, the same as Go
all other animals. The mineral ele-
ments in the salt are desired by the
fowls, and their systems crave them.
But only little salt is needed-not
more than a handful week to the ag-
erage-sized farm flock. Too much may
be more harmful than too little. Ana
since fowls often do not know WHEN
they have had enough OF it, we dare
not place the salt before them, and
let Jnem eat all they want, as can be
done with most other farm animals
So the best way is to mix a handful
occasionally with the soft food OF
mash. This seasons the food and gives
it palatable taste, as well as proving
q benefit to the foWls.-Agricultur Il

LOCUSTS DUE IN 1911.
Entomologist Warns Those Who Plan

That a large brood of seventeen-year

These insects may seriously injure. if
not ruin, young trees: consequently those

species, based on the records of 1913. is
given as Schuylerville and Fort Miller.
In Rockland county it was very album

occurred in great numbers north to Gro

[yafue of HumIls in Soil

The value of humus in the soil is
not only that it supplies an element of
plant food but that it absorbs mois-
ture and is an obstacle to evaporation,
says the Rural Californian. 1t also
prevents soil erosion and waste. The
most successful farmer is the one who
takes the most pains to utilize every
element Of his farm products that CON
tributes humus to the soil This is
important in localities where
the surface is uneven or broken. and
the earth is ~ firm, or. in other
words, lis easily eroded by rainfall

Ham SsnGyyic hes.

The secret of the delicious ham
sandwiches served at an afternoon tea
last week was in the cooking Of the
ham and the abundance of mayonnaise
used in mixing the meat. The ham
had been broiled until it was brown
and then ground very fine and mixed
plentifully with mayonnaise. The meat
may be cooked in the oven, thin slice
being allowed to bake until it is well
Drowned, or the meat may be friei.
There is more definite flavor about
ham cooked in any of these ways than
there is if it is boiled
