Storing and Caring
for Farm Machinery.
BY c. P. Bull, Minnesota Uni
versity Farm.
:. :. ). :. :. !. = :. !. !. \ !. = =

On two or three extended trips
through the state, within the last few
weeks, the writer was very much i'm,
pressed with the lack of proper care
and attention to the machinery used
upon farms along the line OF travel.
1t seems that one of the greatest as
sets that the machine merchant has
lies in the fact that the farmer does
not properly house and care for his
machinery. from the time the harvest
ing season closes until seeding time
begins. Harrows, plows, binders,
mowers, rakes and all kinds OF farm
machinery, were seen out in the field,
where they We're last used; backed up
under a tree. beside the fence or
against the barn, without any cover
ing whatever Anyone knows that ex-
posure to the weather is detrimental
to the durability of a machine, as well
as to the quality of the work that it
should be capable of doing. Rust will
soon form in the boxes and bearings,
and at other delicate points, thus
rapidly uniting them for use.
A cheap shed. even if nothing more
than a roof and one boarded side, will
pay for itself, as a storehouse for ma
chinery, in one seasons time. Aside
from this the plow should be covered
with grease; the cultivator shovels
, well creased; and, wherever possible,
all parts OF machine should be kept
| off the ground, or away from any
chance Of gathering moisture, thus in
viting rust.
The lack of proper storage and care
| for farm machinery is one of the
| financial Leaks" of a farm, which
greatly increases the cost of produc-
ton, the cash outlay of farm bust
ness and decreases the net returns
A machine shed, properly construct
ed, will last a lifetime; thus distribute
ing the original cost over many years
and in the aggregate making the an
nual expense so small as to be not
worth considering.

Throw Out Sod in Road Building.

No dirt road can be long main
tanned in good condition so long as
sod is retained in its construction.
The habit of blowing up sod and
throwing it into the middle of the
grade has been largely responsible
for the fact that the work done on
road in one season has so often had
to be done over again in the next,
Throw out the sod entirely; allow no
standing water near the grade;
smooth the surface occasionally with
King drag, apd most of the problems
of road maintenance will have been
solved.

CLEARING UP THE BARNYARDS
Manure Should Be Put on the FIELDS
This Fall.

At this season of the year the barn
yards and adjoining lots are sure to
be covered with more or less manure
and litter. A dirty condition next
spring may be obviated by cleaning
up the yards this fall, thus providing
for proper drainage, and for convent
ence in caring for the accumulation
of manure and debris during the win
ter time.
The fields need the manure to fur
nish humus and plant food. for the
best working of the soil and growth
of the plants. If left in the barnyard,
more than so per cent of the value of
the manure will be lost before it can
be hauled to the field next spring.
A tidy barnyard is evidence of an
up-to-date, progressive and intelligent
farmer.-C. P. Bull, Minnesota Uni

nail on the head" when he cites the
Indifference of the farmers" as the

the farmer, above all other men, is
the loser by such poor condition; and

Hawaii's interest in the coming

less directly upon the ideas of the
chief executive of the nation
