what slack. Many farmers make a
practice of making some repairs dur
ing the winter. but there is a greater
majority who never feel that 1t is
worth while to spend time to do such
work. but believe they will have time
enough In the spring or before IT is
time to use the mdchine again. AS a
rule, the work is not done until the
machine or implement should be in
the field which ought not to be the
case. The repairing. to be done at
the least expense and loss of time
should be done In the winter. or at
least most OF it. There are some i'm

There will be a great many stormy
days when little if any work can be
done out of doors, when the work in
the shop can be very satisfactorily
carried on. Where the repairs cannot
DE readily put in the respective places,
cards should be attached to the bro
ken part and everything put in read

is taken from the shed. | am now
thinking of the grain harvester, which
is frequently behind many Of the
smaller machines making IL rather
difficult to get at for repairing. In
the case Of the grain and corn har-
vester a good plan to follow is TO
make a note of such parts as show
severe wear and order these parts for
the coming season.
A want book" and box Of ship
ping tags should be a part of the
equipment Of the farm office. In the
book should be made notation Of the
worn or broken part, and with it the
letter and number. thus: For the

LAND IS OPEN
FOR SETTLERS

More than $4,000 acres of land
lying along the Little Colorado
river, IN Coconino and Navajo
counties, will be thrown open to
settlement shortly. This land
was withdrawn from entry
several years ago, for reclama-
tion purposes.
Some time ago the reclamation
service gave up all the idea of an
irrigation project anywhere
along the Little Colorado. There
are several dam Sites but no
great amount Of water can be
impounded. There are SO many
other more favorable sections
for reclamation work that it
was decided to reopen the land
that had been withdrawn.
The local officials of the recla-
nation service have been re-
qu.sted to look over their maps,
plats and reports and designate
all dam sites, power sites and
reservoir sites that should be
retained by the government.
Such sites are not to be restored
to entry, but will be reserved,
in conformity with the govern
ment's conservation policy.
Land attorneys state that there
is widespread demand for land
in the; area withdrawn from en-
try. 1t is largely through the ef-
forts Of attorneys and intending
settlers that steps have been
taken to reopen the land to
ement.-Phoenix Gazette.
