One of the absolute requirements of
q highly profitable farm is the efficient
use of farm machinery. The average
farmer in Tennessee thinks so him
self, because he is spending large
amounts tor equipment.
The strange part Of it all is that he
has realized so we'll the value of ma
chinery and yet has learned so little
Of the art OF caring for it. both while
in use and while it is idle. He has
learned SO little of it that the life Of
most farm machines is not more than
half what it should be.
Records show that the initial outlay
must be replaced each ten years, be.
cause that is the average life of ma.
chimes. This means that one-tenth of
the value of all machines is spent
each year to buy new ones. Records
further show that in special cases, the
same machines have done the same
work and lasted twice as long A
good binder ought to last twenty years
with a crop of fifty to hundred
acres; farm wagon should last fifty
years, hay rake or grain drill, TWEEN
ty-fiVe years; a disc harrow, fifteen
years But the fact remains that only
a few of them reach this age. Why?
Because they are not properly housed,
repaired and painted.
This is the season of the year to do
these three things. More machines
rust out than wear out. The former
loss is a preventable one to large
extent. 1t requires moisture to make
rust. If there is not enough covered
space on the farm to take care of the
implements during the winter, a shed
should be built, but not cheap one.
1t is possible to build a shed that will
depreciate as much as the machinery

that it stores would depreciate if ex.
posed. But machines should be
housed at all hazards where they will
be dry, both overhead and underneath.
If there is dampness under machinery,
it will collect moisture and the iron
will rust and the wood will rot very
badly. Too often machines have been
driven under a leaky shed, or large
tree, which is even worse than letting
them stand entirely in the open More
often, however. they are stored in the
big machine shed which has the field
fence for walls and the sky for roof.
1t is a very expensive shed.
Many machines are ruined by not
being properly oiled and not having
bolts kept tight. These are less con-
spicious mistakes and attract little
attention, but they are expensive ones
nevertheless. Those who are living
on the farm know best how many
trips are made to the distant shop or
store for repairs to meet an emer-
gency. They probably do not realize
the expense of such trips when the
teams and the men must lie idle, and
the crops damage in the waiting.
Surely if they had made such cal
the repairs would have been
attended to during the winter before,
when the men were idle. Now is the
time when all machines should be
brought from the field and note made
of the repairs needed; or better still,
they should be brought from the field
promptly as soon as used, even if they
are to be used again in a few days.
and repairs made at the earliest con-
venient time. NDirt should be removed
from all wearing parts, a coating of
axle grease applied, bolts frightened,
missing or broken parts replaced, and
wood work painted

Joke on Germans.

The French played a practical joke
on the Germans one day, says the Ar
my and Navy Journal. One Gallo
wag called across the thirty yards
that separated the opposing trenches:
your Kaiser Is very brave, isn't
he1 He wears the Iron Cross, but he
doesn't come into your trenches. To-
morrow M. Poincare, our president,
will visit us. He does not wear an
Iron Cross, but he is not afraid
The next day the Germans saw
silk top hat come bobbing along the
French trenches and heard loud cries
of "Vive lie PRESIDENT" Time after
time the Germans riddled the top nat
with bullets, and still it went bobbing
along, until the French took it off the
spade handle and threw it in the air
with yells Of derision.

Sequachee Valley news. (Sequachee [Sequatchie], Tenn.) 1896-1952, 1915-01-07

Almost two and one half times as
many murders in those states that
have the death penalty as against
those states that have abolished it.
This is pretty good idea to work on.
A homicide when he Stays man does
not think of the death penalty.
Therefore it does not deter them from
committing the crime, as argued by
those in favor of continuing the
death penalty, But the fact still re-
mains, after the deterrent feature is
cultivated, that to execute a human
being is a relic of barbarism, and
should be abolished.

The Sure Pop concentrating plant
on Water creek in the North Ark
ansas zinc and lead district made
fifteen tons Of high grade concen.
trates in FIVE hours one day last
week, which is pretty good showing
considering that the mill is only OF
fifty tons capacity,
What is mere, this is not a record
for the Sure Pop, 1t has been, doing
just about as good as this for
several weeks, and this makes it one
Of the most interesting mining
properties Of the North Arkansas
district.
In a nutshell, the facts of the case
are this: The Sure Pop, which is
owned by J. c. Sheppard, who also
owns the Philadelphia and several
other producing mines in the Arkan-
sas field, was started late last fall,
1t is a tunnel into the hillside, into a
sort of crevice beneath an over
hanging ledge of rock such as would
be about the last place where Joplin
operator would look for a mine.
This tunnel has been run back into
the mountain about 800 feet, follow
ing run of rich mill carbonate.
At the start there was a wedge OF
free silicate at the top of the tunnel,
but this has about all gone now,
but the floor OF mill dirt, which is
about a foot thick and varies from
eight to fifteen feet in width, is keep
ing up in good shape,
The tunnel is not a large one,
particularly as to height, and there
is no track other than run Of 2x12
boards laid end to end When the
work Of driving it was started,
most Of the ore was brought to the
mouth of the tunnel in a wheel
barrow and stacked there TO await
the mill 1t was not found con-
venient to bring it all out however,
and the inside Of the tunnel all the
way back is lined with rich mill
silcate
The small concentrating plant
was completed about a month ago
and work was started on the good
sized pile Of stacked ore at the
mouth Of the tunnel 1t is upon this
that the exceptionally good run of
three or four cars OF ore per week is
being made A week ago the pile Of
stacked ore was pretty well ex.
hausted and work was 70 be begun
upon that lining the tunnel When
this is exhausted it will be impossi-
bic to keep the mill running at it's
present rate Of output 1t would

and It is possible this can be done,
The interesting thing about the
Sure Pop mine is its inaccessbility.
1t is ten or twelve miles from Rush,
which is itself an inland town, and il
is about the same distance from
Gilbert, which is on the Missouri
& North Arkansas railroad, And
the miles are long in this particular
