No Farmer Can Afford to Allow His
implement 20 Rust 0ut-CoVer
the Machinery.

OF ali the people doing business. the
farmer is tie most careful anG eco
nomical in the use OF grease. 1t is
seldom that the farmer touches grease
and yet there are few kinds Of WORK
demanding more frequent use Of it.
The farmer is user OF more kinds
of tools than any ether artitcer. If
he is not a mechanic it is his own
fault, and his own disadvantage ana
loss, blcause he handles and operates
all sorts Of tools. machines and inl-
plements usual to the common me-
chanic.
The farmer, above ell o;her tool
handlers and tool users, works at a
disadvantage. 1t matters not how
careful he tries to be in the care of
his tools to keep them dry, he will
find occasion to so out in the rain,
snow or damp and use the saw, auser,
chisel or other tool, and if it is not
carefully dried and oiled or creased 1t
is very apt to rust from this exposure.
No farm tool need rust out, used
or unused. Every farm tool, imple-
ment and machine should be oiled,
creased or preserved from dampness,
wet and rust. They should be care
fully wiped when used and then be
ready to lay aside Grease is the best
application and lasts longer than most
oils. All hand tools of the edged scrt
should have dry place to be stored
in, and kept in this place when not
in use, and by all means carefully
cleaned, wiped and creased when put
away.
The machines of the farm-mowers,
reapers, etc., should be put in out OF
the weather and oiled, creased,
cleaned off, preserved from rust and
decay. See how many machines and
tools there are on the farm that are
intended for use next spring and sum-
mer that are now under roof and not
in the least liable to the damaging in
fuences of rust. No farmer can af-
ford to rust out his farm eQuippage,
no matter how much he is making
in feeding cattle and hogs or raising
grain.

CINE when steam was used for power,
and, occasionally, when gasoline en-
gines were used, Ole man to feed the
cutter and one man in the silo TO
spread and tramp the siiage. Each
teamster pitched eli his own load.
This makes a crew OF eight or nine
men. exclusive of the man who tends
the engine.
(2) In cases where there is short
age of teams the following method is
generally practiced. One man, with
three horses, cuts the corn; two men
load the wagons in the field; two men,
or boys, with teams, haul the corn to
the cutter; one man unloads the
wagons; one man feeds and one man
works in the silo. AS soon as load
arrives at the cutter the teamster
changes his team for an empty wagon
and goes back to the field after anoth-
er load. When a wagon is unloaded
it is run out of the way by hand. With
this method, boys who are not strong
enough to handle the green corn, can
be utilized to drive the teams. This
method requires a crew Of six men
and two boys, exclusive Of the engine
tender.
(3) When enough horses are avail
able and help is scarce, the following
arrangement of men and teams is a
good one. One man, with three
horses, runs the harvester in the field;
four men with teams haul the corn to
the silo: one man feeds and one
spreads the corn in the silo Low
trucks or wagons with racks suspend
ed below the axles should be used, so
that the teamsters can put On their

Once a year the farmer has to Nil
his silo The operation is outside of
the regular routine of farm life, and
unless considerable thought is given
the matter beforehand, it is likely to
prove unnecessarily expensive. Infor-
nation collected by investigators in
the United States department of ag-
riculture will, therefore, prove useful
to farmers who have not worked out
for themselves the most economical
system.
Because the silo has been in use for
some years in these states, the inves-
tigators selected Wisconsin and Mich
igan for their work. Cost records on
81 farms were carefully kept, reveal
ing wide divergence in the cost of la
bor per ton of filling the silo. 1t was
found. for example, that one farmer
did this for 46 cents, while another
had to spend sc cents. The average
cost was 81 cents.
The cost of labor varies considera-
bly,, and in order to ascertain the most
satisfactory method, the investigators
adopted for their comparisons uni
form rate of Is cents an hour for men
and the same rate for team Of two
horses. Engine hire, including the
engineer, was placed at $3.50 per day,
coal at Sc per ton and gasoline at l3
cents gallon. Ten hours were con-
sidered a days work While these
figures cannot Of course be consid-
cred as absolute, they afford conven-
lent basis for the individual farmers

WAYS OF D0cToRING TREES
Fallen Leaves and Wood Ashes Fed
to Roots to Give Natural Food
Another Good Plan.

In one of our pastures there grew
an immense oak tree which gave
signs of dying and so manifest were
they that we chose to remedy from
several suggested and began treating
it.
A bar of two and one-half-inch iron
tipped with sharp steel point was
used in drilling holes in the soil at
specified distances just under the
tree. In the holes were crowded fall.

Effective Insect Pest Remedy.

Fall plowing is one of the most ef-
fective remedies known for insect
pests. 1t is, however, more Of a pre-
ventive than cure, for the insects de-
stroyed by this method are, for the
most part, in dormant or resting

not to be relied upon for the COM
plete eradication Of any insect, but
las a supplementary method it is valu-
teble.

When Sammy Jay looked across the
Green Meadows and saw Farmer
Browns Boy coming straight toward
the far corner where he had been lis
tening to Old Man Coyotes story of
how he was taken away from his old
home in the great, wide, wonderful
west and finally came to the Green
Meadows, Sammy was sure that it was
to look at the traps set there for Old
doubt In the world that Farmer
Browns Boy was hoping and hoping
that he would find Old Man Coyote
caught in one of them.
Since he had heard Old Man Coy
ote's story Sammy had had great
change Of feeling toward Old Man
Coyote, and he felt now as if he fairly
hated Farmer Browns Boy. He new
er had liked him. but now he hated
felt. He hated any one who would
set those dreadful steel traps SO
when he saw Farmer Browns Boy
coming he began to scream at him at
the top Of his lungs. ''Thief! Thief!
Thief! he Screamed. lYou see, that
was the worst thing that he could
think Of, and, after all. wasn't Farm
was trying to steal the liberty of Old
Man Coyote?
OLD Man Coyote himself felt very
much as Sammy did. He didn't doubt
that when Farmer Browns Boy found
that those carefully hidden traps had
been dug up and made quite useless
he would at once set them again with
course, it wouldn't do for him to stay
there, SO he slipped away to keep out
OF sight as long as Farmer Browns
Boy should stay
"I'll watch and see just where he
puts each trap, so as to tell you after
he leaves" said Sammy.
"All right, and thank you," replied
Oid Man Coyote. II guess could find
them; just as have found them be-
fore. but If you will do that it will save
me some trouble"
Sammy felt very important as he
flew to tree little way off, from
which he could see all that Farmer
Browns Boy did. 1t would be great
fun to spoil all Of Farmer Browns
Boys plans, and at the same time be
of real help to one SO smart as Old
Man Coyote.
Won't nc he angry when he finds
how Old Man Coyote has been too
smart for him and has found and dug
up all his traps?" chuckled Sammy.

came he whistled as II his heart was
