WELL-EQUIPPED WORK SHOP
Much Time and Money Can Be Saved
= by Making Repairs at Home on
Farm Machinery.

C A well-equipped work shop 10 con.
venient; it is economical; and it is al.
most necessity to the successful
farmer. Just how, far the farmer
should equip his shop will depend on
the extent Of his farming operations
and his ability In handling tools.
The average farmer, with adequate
tools, can do all the ordinary repair
ing on his farm machinery.
AS a rule, the farmer can do his
own repairing much more quickly
than he can go to the nearest shop
and have a mechanic do the work
The farmer may not be able to make
repairs equal to those made by q
trained mechanic, but the economy OF
time may be Of more importance than
excellence. - S, ]
}5 Breakdowns are most frequent dur
ing the busy season, and much valua-
BILE time Is sacrificed going to some
distant shop. In many cases perma;
nent repairs can be made at once. and
in most instances temporary repairs
can be made at the farm shop, pro-
5vided the necessary tools and supplies
are available. fF l.

but only one towards each other; the
four extra guns on each ship throwing
shells away from the other are not
;counterbalanced by any projectiles
thrown In the direction OF the other
ship, and thus the two vessels, under
the action of incessant firing, Will
gradually approach. The reaction
drives the ships towards each other,
and q similar reaction Is necessarily
at work among the heavenly bodies
when an infinite number Of particles
Of fine dust is expelled from them
with the velocity Of Light and totally
imperceptible to our senses. Thus
gravitation is due to the action OF re.
pulslve forces in nature. and Is really
not an attraction after all.
" A similar explanation to that made
for gravitation is given Of magnets,
and the magnetism Of the earth, which
has puzzled philosophers for over
three centuries, since Gilbert pub
lished his first work OH magnets In
the year 1900. The magnets are re-
tceiving and transmitting outwardly
streams OF minute corpuscles moving
with the velocity OF light, and the re-
action thus arising gives rise to ap.
parent attraction, the intensity being
greatly augmented over that OF CRAWL
tation because the molecular groups
are SO arranged as to direct the repul-
sion OF the particles uniformly along
certain lines. whereas in gravitation
there Ia a haphazard arrangement OF
the molecular groups, and the reac-
tions largely destroy each other. leav-
ing only feeble residue of attraction
equal in all directions. s.f.,

electrifying our globe for hundreds OF

iron and other substances running
through it with almost the velocity OF
light, has converted our planet into a
great magnet, thus confirming the old
idea OF Gilbert. In confirmation OF
this view. Professor See points out

Of the observations of
John Allen Droun about 1845 that

rain, which greatly reduces the sugar
content. of the beet.
The sugar beet does remarkably
well at high elevations from the fact
that it is injured very little by frost

severe or too early. Profitable crops
Of sugar beets are. however, seldom
produced above the elevation Of 5000

Probably the best soil for sugar
beets is good, deep clayey loam with
suff1 cisnt sand or silt to allow its be-
ing easily pulverized. Since the sugar
beet il deep rooted it necessarily re.
quires a deep soil. The low, wet soils
are poorly adapted to this crop. as
they are wet and prevent any rapid
development in the early stages OF
growth, and the later growth con-
tinues beyond the time Of maturity.
Such soils produce watery beet OF
low quality, resulting in q low sugar
content. Soils which have hard-pan
formation within 1S inches Of the sur.
face should never be used for beets
since they greatly interfere with root
growth, and also have tendency to
lose moisture. .s "
Stony and gravelly soils should be
avoided, since they are incapable of
holding water, and stony soils prevent
the proper development in form OF
roots, which is essential for the high
est quality OF beets. Sandy soils which

be used, as the young plants are fire.

The sugar beet requires 9 deep. mel
