The team that does the work for
the farmer during the busy cropping
season deserves good care. In giving
his team proper attention the farmer
shows kind heart and a wise head.
He thereby conserves the energy of
the faithful animals which enables
them to serve him a long time says
Missouri writer in Farm Progress.
The work team must have good
feed. Musty hay and nodded grain
they will not eat unless very hungry,
and it is harmful to their digestive
organs and they contain practically
no nourishment Timothy, clover or
alfalfa hay should fill the manager, and
1t will keep the team in good shape
when fed in proper quantities. Wheat
and oat straw. are good enough for
the horse to sleep on, but very poor
for him to live on. During the work.
ing season the team should seldom
be turned on green grass. It is too
washy, and the team that works all
day and tolls all night in the grass
field for ration will not do well. II
one does turn on grass, the team
should be provided with liberal sup
ply of hay just the same.
The best grain ration is one half
corn and the other half oats. The
corn gives needed strength and the
oats act as a laxative. Throw a pinch
of salt into the feed box once each
day and the horses will be kept
healthy. Should a horse have bad
teeth his feed should be ground. All
grain should be fed in good boxes,
for leaky troughs waste much valua-
able feed.
The water for the work team should
be drawn fresh from the well. The
muddy, stagnant water of the pond is
not fit for the work horse. It is foul

(By e. r. GROSS. Colorado Agricultu.
raj College.)
There Is no doubt in the mind OF
the writer that the gasoline or oil
tractor should and does occupy an i'm.
portant place in present day agricul.
ture. The smaller size tractors now
being put out by manufacturers are
reducing very materially the size of
farm on which a tractor may be op-
Grated with profit. It is quite certain
that 16 to rs horse power tractor
developing 8 to Is horse power on the
draw-bar can now be operated profit
ably on q 200 to 250-acre farm. The
essential requirements on the part of
the farmer who will own tractor
are: That he understand his ma
chine thoroughly or employ skilled
help to operate it: that he plan care
fully the work so that the tractor can
be kept at work at least as much Of
the time as horses would be: that he
have only q little more power in the
form of tractor and horses than he
would otherwise have in the form Of
horses alone.
In the tractor It is well to look for
tractive power with the least possible
weight. Heavy tractors often have q
bad compacting effect on the soil. The
greater the bearing surface, the great
er the tractive power and the less
the compacting of the soil. In general
there are three types of traction
wheels: The ordinary wheel with
prominent grouters; the drum type,
large diameter and wide wheel with
small or no grouters; and the creep
ing type of fractions parts.
The reliability of the tractor can
best be judged by machines of its
make that have been observed in oper-
alton for some time.

There are several methods of can
ming. and the secret of success in each
is absolute sterilization. The best
and easiest methods of canning are
cooking the fruits in jars in an oven;
cooking the fruits in jars in steamer
or in boiling water. and stewing the
fruit before it is put into the Jars.
Glass is the most satisfactory jar to
use in canning. Glass Jars are becom-
ing so universally in favor that they
are taking the place of tin cans for
everything; even for tomatoes. They
are more economical n tin, for al
though the glass costs lore In the be-
ginning, It lasts and can be used over
and over again. While there are many
kinds OF jars. the preference should
usually be given to those with wide
mouths. In canning fruits or jelly
1t is important that the fruits or ber-
ries should not be over-ripe. Fruit
for canning should be fresh, solid and
not over-ripe. If over-ripe some of
the spores may survive the boiling
and fermentation takes place in q
short time. In preparing the fruit

pears, being careful not to use those

halved pears into the boiling strip,
but do not stir. Take q large roasting
pan with handles and place in 1t as
many sterilized canning Jars as It will |

pan to a depth of about two inches,
and place the pan on the side of the
stove. The water will get hot and keep
the jars warm. Sterilize the rubber

fruit will be boiling. When the pears
