TIMELY HINTS
FOR FARMERS
Tribute Paid Kinu Friction.

A correspondent writing the Farm
Implement News says that the farmer
)ays each year Il direct tax of close to
40 cents on the dollar on every ma
chine in use upon the farm. He says
this is the tribute the American farmer
Is paying TO King Friction. He goes on
to say that this tribute is paid on ac-
count of the lack of proper oiling or
the use of the wrong kind of oil. He
says it is the part of the dealer-the
man who sells the machine-to caution
the buyer with reference to the neces-
sity of oiling and to prescribe specific
ally the kind of oil to be used. Human
skill has not been able to overcome
friction. In every bearing there is fric-
ton. The use to which the machine is
put is governing factor in the kind OF
oil to be used, and he says these are
points that should be explained and
made thoroughly clear to the purchaser
when the machine leaves the dealers
hand.

Ing in, he got strike. After fishing
awhile he finally landed fine fish.
"Oh." said he, Mike. this Is the only
place in the lake to fish; we will just
mark it." And he cut a notch in the
side Of the boat

ing was resumed.
There was one Englishman who kept
laughing all the time during the rest of
the evening until time to go home,
when he came up TO the travelling sales
man and said: II was just thinking of
the story YOU told. 1t was such
funny story. I don't believe l ever
heard such a funny story before. Just
think, If they had got the wrong boat
they would have never known whore
to fish."-Machinists Monthly.

.PROL0NGING LIFE
OF FENCEPOSTS.
CTeOsOte Treatment Effective
In Preventing Decay.

The most effective method of pre-
serving fencepOsts is to thoroughly
impregnate the outer layers of wood
with some preservative which will poi
son the wood and deprive the fungous
plant which causes wood to rot of its
food. The cheapest and most effective
is creosote. 1t is not only poisonous 10
the fungous plant; but, being an oil, its
tendency is to exclude moisture from
the wood. Most patented wood pre-
servatives have creosote as their basis.
The treatment is best given by the
open tank method. Thoroughly sea-
soned posts with bark removed are
heated for several hours in hot creo-
Bote, then allowed to cool down in cold
creosote. In the hot treatment the high
temperature causes the air and water
In the wood to expand so that a large
portion of this is forced out of the
wood and the creosote takes its place.
When the posts are placed in the cold
creosote the air and water left in the
wood contract, forming q partial vac
uum, and the creosote again forces its
way into the wood. This treatment
forms a shell of creosoted wood from
one-eighth to two inches in thickness
around the post, depending upon the
kind OF wood treated.-Kansas Farmer.

Poultry on the Farm.

Farmers ought all to keep pure bred
poultry and become real poultry fan
ciers, with benefit to themselves. 1t is
too late in the day to put forth any argu-
ments about the advantages Of well
bred poultry. Every progressive farm
er knows that pure bred poultry must
be better than the common kind. The
reason all farmers do not keep really
well bred poultry is that so many Of
them are engrossed in other branches
Of their business and give the poultry
rather less time than they should.

Having bought dog that he ad.
mired, n man Of obstinate will under
took TO buy dog collar The dog had
a neck nearly as big as his head, and
the dealer advised the man to buy two
collars
what for?" said the man. Hes
got only one neck, so l guess he can get
along with only one collar can't he?
Maybe So" said the dealer. SO the
man went away leading the dog by his
new collar and chain.
In less tnan a week he brought the
dog back.
I'm afraid I can't keep him." he
said. Hes too obstropulous. | can't
keep him tied up. His neck Is the
biggest part OF him, and he is as
strong as an OK. Therefore 1t is n
cinch for him to slip his collar Off"
THAT was why l wanted you to take
two collars" said the dealer. Put
both on and fasten the chain to the
back collar, and he can tug all night
without getting loose. He may com

The Valuable Silo,

When more silos are built and less
of the corn plant is wasted the cost of
feeding will be reduced. Dry corn
stalks in the field indicate waste,
which sooner or later leads to power
ty. We are told that there is 40 per
cent of the feeding value of the corn
plant in the stalk, or, stated in anoth-
er way, when one puts corn in the silo
he saves 40 per cent of the feeding
value of the corn plant Add 40 per
cent of the value of the corn crop of
the southwest to it's present value and
see what an enormous loss we have
been sustaining annually. Let us
build more silos.-Farm and Ranch.

cow SUICIDE ILLEGAL.
Aviator Cody Loses Suit Brought by
Animals Owner.


Animals Owner.
Can COW commit suicide? a farm
er in Farnham, in Surrey, England,
brought suit against Cody, the aviator
who renounced his American citizen
ship in order to accept a position in
the British military aviation corps, to
find out about this. He asserted that
Captain Cody in one of his aviation
flights came down on top of his good
cow. The COW was killed, and the
farmer demanded 500.
Captain Cody asserted that the COW
committed suicide She rushed at his
monoplane as he descended and there
by lost her life.
The judge did not quite see Captain
Cody's argument. He held that an
aerOplane was a dangerous machine,
and while the captain himself was not
guilty of negligence in the case of the
unfortunate COW he must pay 800 dam
ages for her lamented end.
