Caro- Of Farm Machinery

There are many things which may
be said about the care of farm mach.
inery. great many of which are sell
dom observed by the operator. Only
a few of the most essential will be
mentioned here. Oil is cheaper than
repairs, but too much oil is often det'
rimental. 1t runs off the bearings and
collects dirt over the parts to which
It spreads through capillarity and the
motion of the machine. Here it may
cause excessive wear. then the lubri
cant becomes hindrance instead Of
help.
Very slow running bearings exposed
to an excess of dirt and dust will
sometimes wear we'll, or better with
out grease. The grease only serves
as a means of collecting grit and hold
ing it in the bearings. For example

The following Kansas formula for
a poisoned bran mash for grasshop-
pers is highly recommended by Prof.
Geo. A. Dean, who developed it in
Kansas, and Mr.. G. P. Weldon, of Cal
ifornia, and has given decided results
the past summer in our experiments
about Fort Collins:

fifty pounds; syrup, four quarts; wa
ter five gallons; lemons, ten.

Ga cheap grade) in the water. Squeeze
the lemons into this and finely chop
the peel and pulp and add them also.
Pour this mixture into the bran and
Paris Green and stir so as to dampen
the mash thoroughly.
The Kansas formula was used and
checked with three others: Bran,

Poisoning Grasshoppers

When young hoppers are very abun-
dant about the borders of the fields
or elsewhere, they may be DESTROYED
in large numbers by thorough appli-
cation of some arsenical spray, such
as Paris green or arsenate of lead,
the former in the proportion of .wo
pounds. and that latter at about three
pounds to fifty gallons of water. Care
should be taken not to use these
sprays on plants where domestic ann
mails are likely to feed. Either of the
above sprays can be used very ef;eo-
lively after cutting the alfalfa. In
this case narrow swath of alfalfa
should be left standing and this thor
oughly sprayed with one of the above
poisons. The gren strip will act as
a trap and innumerable hoppers will
be killed. After the hoppers are all
killed this trap strip should be cut
and burned to eliminate the danger
of feeding it to domestic animals.
Arsenic bran mash may also be used
successfully. Mix thoroughly 90
pounds of bran with one pound of
white arsenic or paris green and
enough water to moisten so that the
mixture will slightly adhere. About
three gallons of water will be suffi-
cient. 1t is well to add little syrup,
about awo quarts, to the mixture,
This keeps the bran from drying out
too readily and makes it more attrac-
tive to the hoppers.
Sow this poisoned mash broadcast
where tie hoppers are most abundant.
Avoid dropping It in little piles. as
better results are obtained where the
particles are small. This mixture
must not be used where domestic
fowls are apt to feed as there is dan
gen OF poisoning them.
The above quantity will be sufficient
to SOW around about five acres OF
ground. II properly applied. and will
cost about twelve cents per acre.

ping season.
their securing parts well protected
from rust. Rust not only damages
these parts very seriously, but causes
delay in using machines when time
is very valuable. Rust increases the
draft of the machines while an infer
ior grade of work is being done. Axle
grease, heavy machine oil or tallow
are very good for that purpose. Paint
is often used, but is more difficult to
remove.
Trouble should be located as soon as
| it becomes manifest. Do not wait
for a breakdown. A few minutes
examination of machine. Tightening
loose bolt here and making an ad-
justment there. and removing the ac-
cumulation of dirt and thrash, may
often save several days delay. The
operator should know by the pulse of
his machine that its various parts are
functioning properly. This requires
understanding of every detail of con-
struction. Study the catalogues; they
are free.
Proper care should add years to the
life of your machines and keep down
repair bills. Further, in selling an
old machine, the appearance is a
large factor in controlling the price

SOME THINGS TO BE LEARNED
FROM OUR NEW ROADS

The new graveled road which is be-
ing constructed as part of the north
and south highway for the state of
Colorado is developing conditions that
should be studied carefully and a
slight change in the method of placing
the material will result in a better
road.
AS one drives over this road today
il is a good deal like over the bound
ing wave" in places and one can see
plainly where every load of gravel has
been dumped. The material is hauled
to the road in wagons, dumped, and
then spread by hand or machine un-
til the surface appears to be smooth.
II is then left to be compact by the
traffic.
The fact of the matter is that when
the material is dumped it is somewhat
compact at this point; much more so
than the material which is spread by
hand and when the road rolls down
we have the hard bumps and hum
mocks left which make a road far
from being good.
To help this condition ! would sug-
gest that the load be dumped in win
rows" plow run through eaSh of
these for about four burrows, two each
way, thus spreading them somewhat
and breaking up the compact dumped
material. Finish the spreading and

PEACHES CLOSING STRONG
APPLES STILL UNCERTAIN
(Paonian)

There is general rejoicing among
the peach growers of the Paonia dis
trict over the Strengthening tone to
the late market. The joy is tinged,
however. by regret over the fact that
not even the most expert marketmen
could forsee the course of events with
any degree of assurance and conse-
quently a large portion of the crop
that should have been moved during
the period of uncertainty is unable to
participate in the now attractive
prices offering.
Seven or eight days ago prices be
gan to advance. Within the past week
sales have been made on eastern mar
kets at from ninety cents ia a dollar
twenty. The average will thus be ma
terially increased over the most san
guine predictions at the beginning Of
the season. Probably less than ten
per cent of the total crop is still un-
sold and this will be moved by the
end of the week.

moderate volume. Ruling prices at
this time are low. The opinion is
freely expressed on all sides that the
experience of the peach market will
be repeated in apples, and for this
there appear good grounds. Some
crops. especially those touched by hail
and worms. are being moved in bulk
at ton rates; others are being shipped
in sacks, and one or more growers are
expecting to use barrels. Many local
producers are arranging to store To-
cally in anticipation of improved
prices.
Summing up the present situation,
1t may be said that feeling OF op'
timism and returning prosperity pre-
vades this district.

George A. Camphuis of this city has
received an interesting letter from a
relative in England, from whcih the
following extracts are made, giving
timely insight into conditions over
there as seen by British eyes:
1 hear from American friends arriv-
ing from New York and elsewhere that
the Germans are making very strong
and expensive press campaign through
out the United States, and that their
efforts are not without success is
proved by a change of views expressed
in Washington and New York papers.
You can hardly realize in your 7 res
ent life the actual conditions existing
over here; everybody is cheerful, or
tries to be so, in spite of the fact that
almost everyone has some relative at
the front, and many have already re
ceived news of the deaths of their pest
friends or relatives.
The war goes on with the. most
appalling losses on both sides, and the
estimate to date of the German
casualties amounts to something in the
neighborhOod of 100000 men.
