Storing and Caring

J. j. :. :. !. ]. J. ]. :. ! !. :. :.

On two or three extended trips
through the state, within the last few
weeks, the writer was very much inn
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
lies in the fact that the farmer does
net 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, We're 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 machine, as well
as to the quality of the work that it
should becapable of doing. Rust will
soon form in the boxes and bearings,

rapidly uniting them for use.
A cheap shed, even if nothing more
than roof and one boarded side, will
pay for itself, as a storehouse for ma
chinery, in one seasons time. Aside
from this the pillow 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 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 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 a
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, and most of the problems
Of road maintenance will have been
solved.

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

A New Method Of
Killing Ouack Grass.
BY 9. r. Barns, Extension Di-
vision, Minnesota Agricul-
fural COLLEGE.


!: -. Z ~ :. -. !. =
Senator Thomas E. eastman, in the
Farmers Institute Annual for 1911, de-
scribes a new method of killing quack
grass, by which, it is claimed, durira
| the past twelve years, ne has exterrai-
mated it On 800 acres Of land; raising
ia crop each year while the killing
was going On, and dolLling the Yalue
Of the land by the process.
The process IS based on the very
reasonable theory that if the land is
stirred often enough, and to a suffi-
Ecient depth to keep it from growing,
the quack grass will be starved to
death. The ordinary pillow, disc and
harrow being insufficient for this, and
some much advertised machines fail
ing to bear out the promise of the adj
Vertisers, Mr.. eastman devised
quack digger of his own. This ma
chine is about five feet wide; so heavy
that it sinks into the ground from five
TO eight inches, and requires four
horses to pull it. 1t tears up the
ground thoroughly.
Before resorting to the quack dig
ger, the land is subjected to repeated
plowings and diskings; following each
operation with drag, at intervals of
not more than three days apart. Then
it is gone over with the digger; then
1t is again dragged; and then the
same field is crossed with the digger,
followed yet again by the drag. The
aim thereafter is to go over the land
at least once a week with the quack
digger, for period of six weeks. If
there is much rain, the quack digger
is run over the field oftener, followed
each time by the drag. After said
six weeks have passed, the land is
again plowed; this time little deep
er; and, if it is the spring of the year,
it is Immediately prepared for corn
1t is necessary to pillow the second
time in order to get at the roots that
have not been reached by the quack
digger after the first blowing. Mr..
eastman says: "If the corn is proper
ly cared for, the process l have out
lined will kill the quack."
1t is at once apparent that all this
blowing, disking, dragging, and tear
ing up of the ground with the quack
digger, must involve a heavy outlay
for labor. On the other hand, Mr..
eastman claims, as the result of such
Approximation, the production of
sixty bushels of corn to the acre, and
the doubling in value of the land

ures because of its being overrun with

further claims that not only is the soil
greatly improved by the fertilization
which the dead quack roots afford, but
the intense working of the land so ex-
poses it to the air as to greatly enrich
the soil; SO that it will produce splen-
did crops for a number of years, even
though it was badly run out in the
beginning.
To the live, energetic farmer, will
ing to pay, in effort, the price of sue
cess, Mr.. Cashman's method would
seem to offer a very effective way of
redeeming land from quack With

take things easily" it's suggestions

Bad Roads Tax on Farmers.

If the farmers would give more
thoughtful study to the matter of road
improvement, and would then CO
operate in the creation and main
tenance OF good roads, they would
soon discover that the time and money
thus bestowed was well spent; and
that many dollar now spent in in
effective nlethods, and in repairs on
harness and vehicles, could be saved.
Nothing leaves heavier tax on the
farmer than the rough road; and the
muddy road is its companion tax
