CARE FOR MACHINERY
Properly Housed Farm lmple-
lnents Means Big Saving.
Tools Should Be Well Selected. Kept
In Good Repair and Adjustment,
Oiled Thoroughly and Cleaned
Before Housing.

In travelling over the country, the
ordinary observer is unfavorably i'm
pressed with the methods now com
monty found in use by many farmers
for taking care Of their machinery.
AS a general rule, the prosperity Of a
farmer may be estimated by the way
he cares for his machinery. Poor
care indicates shiftlessness, waste, lack
of energy and the necessity of buying
more machinery In short time. Good
care. on the other hand, indicates
prosperity. development, bank de-
posits, and long-lived machinery.
To properly care for the farm Inn
plements means that they must be
well selected, kept in good repair and
adjustment, oiled thoroughly, cleaned
before housing, and have all wearing
parts well creased when not in use,
and painted when necessary. and
must be properly housed. To neglect
any of the lines OF care mentioned.
means serious damage and loss to the
machinery.
There Is no question but that to
properly house machinerw Is a great
saving, as it not only adds a great
deal to the life Of the machine but 1t
also adds to the general appearance
of the farm. It is generally found

neck is long and lean, joining to the
body rather abruptly. The withers
are sharp. with the spinal column
prominent and the barrel long and ca
pacious, indicating good feeding capa-
city. The ribs are sprung down and
outward and wide spaced, the heart
and loin girth large and the tail fine
with heavy switch. The form of the
dairy COW is frequently spoken OF as
the triple wedge" form. First, she
shows increased depth of body to-
wards the rear when viewed from one
side. Secondly, she widens gradually
from the breast to the points OF the
hips. Thirdly, looking down on the
back the form widens gradually down
ward like a wedge. The udder is
well developed and even CHARTERED; is
soft and pliable but not fabby when
emptied The milk veins are large
and tortuous and enter the abdominal
wall in two or more large milk veins.
The dairy type can be found in
many OF the breeds but most charac-
teristically in the distinct dairy
breeds. BY the dairy breeds are meant
those that have become most noted
for uniformly conforming to the true
dairy type. They are the Holsteins,
Jerseys, Guernseys and Ayrshires.

breeders in maintaining the purity OF

wired back as follows:

Sufficient instructions, and within

Going into the street he raised his
hands In the way that truckmen have
learned means "Stop." They stopped.
The cat, seeing her opportunity, took
a firmer hold on the nape Of her prod

slowly and deliberately picked her way

DETENTION ROOM FOR PESTS
Method Adopted by Government for
Excluding Entry Of Bugs Injurious
to Farm Crops.

Experience has taught the officialt

ability OF guarding against the possi-
BILE Importation of injurious or undesir-
able plants and animals. Well mean
ing but carelessly inclined friends liv-
ing abroad send home specimens OF
beautiful or peculiar plants or flow
ers, strange and unusual insects, small
animals as pets, and SO forth, not
knowing that they are aiding in the
spread Of what may be extremely
harmful pest. Often, too, seed" OF
some variety of fruit or vegetable is
sent to home friends for planting
which contains the eggs Of some in
sect pest or the germs of disease
which may sweep away thousands OF
dollars worth OF valuable homegrown
plants or trees.
To prevent any of these disasters
the government has provided quar-

spection before being passed on to the
recipient, says the New York INDIE
pendent. The first shipment received
after the establishment Of this room
was lot OF potatoes from the Andes
OF South America. They were found
to be thoroughly infected with small
brown bug harmful enough to have
created an endless amount of mischief
among the potato interests of this
country had they been allowed to en-

The inspection room is carefully pre-
pared to prevent the escape Of micro
scopic germs. It is simply glass in
closed cage about eight by twelve feet,
placed in one Of the regular office
rooms in the department Of agricul
ture, and is absolutely bug proof.

Women Parasites?

Francis w. Crowninshield, of the
editorial staff OF the Century Maya
zine, says:
sfOf course do not see the married
women in this country as helpless,
parasitical dependents That parasite
idea is nonsense. There are more
weak-kneed, dependent husbands
than there are parasitical wives.
ut isn't the fault of the American
women that she is marrying less fre-
Quently and unnarrying more fre-
quently. It's the fault of the Ameri-
can man. Once rich man supposed
himself to have the privileges of q
Red Rover. He believed that all he
had TO do was to throw his handker-
chief at a woman. or slap her on the
cheek and she would humbly and
thankfully become his wife. Now
that sort of man merely bOres a wom-
an. And she's not going to pretend
that he doesn't.
THE modern wife wants q husband
who has read Brieux and Arthur
Schnftzger. She wants him to know
the paintings of Matisse. She looks
for q cultivated taste In music, an in
terest fn chamber concerts. For the
woman OF today is caught in all the
cultural currents, all the new social
movements. ] believe, indeed. that
she is more responsive to them, than
the men"

Profits of Many Farmers Are Found
In Such funk Heaps" as This.

that where a farmer is interested
enough in his tools to properly house
them, he is interested enough in
Them to care for them otherwise.
To house" machinery does not
mean merely to put 1t in some turn-
ble-down. leaky shed, or combined
machine-shed and hen-roost.
A great deal of machinery can be
placed in a small space IL properly
arranged At the time Of storing 1t
the machinery should be placed in
the shed according to the time 1t will
have to be removed. The machinery
that will be used late in the season
should be placed in the back Of the
shed and that which is to be used
early in the season should be placed
in front. In this way 1t will not be
necessary to remove great deal OF
machinery in order to get what is
needed first.
Do not forget that the implements
and machines on the farm represent
an investment, and that VIXEN ex-
posed to the weather they deteri-
crate rapidly, thus making the up
keep and original cost a heavier
charge against the equipment. Dew,
rain and sunshine may cause greater
deterioration in expensive imple-
ments than ordinary use. To leave
the implements at the end Of the rows
or In the field without shelter means
great loss. No progressive farmer can
afford it.
Binders, mowers, hay presses. trac.
tors, silage cutters and other ma
chimes represent considerable capital,
and it is economy to shelter and care
for them when not in use. A tool
shed costs little compared to the risk
of protecting the implements. The
shed is really insurance upon the i'm
plements from sun, rain and rust.
Even the small tools, such as single
stocks, shovels, sweeps, hoes, spades,
double shovels and cultivators need

Any farmer is safe in breeding and

there is no more profitable line OF
stock growing than raising good cows

are making a speciality of producing
market milk or selling their milk to
condensary plants where they do not

farms to feed out to the calves that
are being raised to replace the cows

"HoMING" INSTINCT OF BEES
Their Remarkable Powers Demon,
strated by Most Thorough Series
OF Experiments.

Henri Fabre, the naturalist, tells In
the Fortnightly Review a characters
tic story about Charles Darwin and
himself. Darwin wanted to explain
the '.homing" instinct Of bees, and in
duced Fabre to begin series of ex-
periments with that purpose in view.
A regular plan of campaign was
drawn up.
Marked bees were placed in dark
box and carried away from the hive In
the opposite direction from that in
which they were finally liberated. The
box was repeatedly turned about, so
that the inmates would lose all sense
of direction. Every possible means
was taken TO render useless any
known or conceivable method Of OBJ
tanning ones bearings. The bees
were even placed within an induction
coil in the effort to confuse them.
The result of a long and elaborate
series of tests was nil SO far as any
explanation of the homing power was
concerned. In every case from 80 to
40 per cent OF them found their way
home without apparent trouble, no
matter how confusing the trip away
from home had been made.
The story is characteristic, because
1T illustrates the thorough way in
which the author of the Origin of
Species" attacked all his problems.
He was not one to merely "opine pref
ti1y and probably" and let it go at
that. He put everything to the test
of experiment, and when the answer
came out wrong, or didn't come out at
all, he "serapped" the hypothesis as
matter of course instead of trying to
explain away it's failure.

John had brought genuine holiday

parcel OF toothsome fruit, several
boxes of bonbons, some toys for the
children. 1t cheered his sterling soul
to be thus generous, even amid his
necessities. He knew the old Ward
