General Farm Notes.

No man who thinks anything of a
tree will ever make hitching post
Of 1t.
There is little mint of money saved
in buying feed in the fall of the year
and holding it till spring need comes.
One Of the best tools a farmer can
have is a good riveter for mendine
leather straps of all kinds. One OF
these will save a good many trips tC
town and maybe more than one run
away.
Keep blank book and jot down the
mistakes you make this year as things
to be avoided next year. 1t is easy tC
remember what you made money on
but it makes pretty smart man IL
see his own failures.
A good many farmers are getting st
they would rather sell their potatoes il
the fall right from the field and not
have to bother with storing them ant
running the risk of low prices nexi
spring. The shrinkage. too. is big
item to be figured on.
To get the best results from the agri
cultural paper 1t should be read ant
discussed by every member of thu
family. A discussion upon subjects
relating to the farm and the home
will interest the younger members Of
the family and give incentive for more
thoughtful reading.

Strides of the Bio Guns.

Sir A. Trevor Da-son makes this
comparison to show the great strides
made in modern ordnance in forty five
years: In 1864 the most powerful
twelve inch gun was a muzzle loader
twelve calibers long. weighing 23.5
tons. using a charge Of eighty-ive
pounds Of powder and discharging a
projectile of GA pounds with a muzzle
velocity Of 1900 feet per second. 1t
could perforate sixteen inches of
wrought iron at the muzzle and eight
inches at a range of 5000 yards. In
1909 the twelve inch gun had be-
come a breechloader. fifty calibers long.
weighing seventy tons. using a pro-
jectile of $50 pounds discharged with
a muzzle velocity of 5000 feet per Sec
ond and capable of penetrating fifty
two inches of wrought iron at the
muzzle, thirty-seven inches at dis
lance Of 5000 yards and seventeen and
