The modern farmer has already rec
ogniZeZd the fact that he cannot work
without the tools of his trade, and he
has set about finding the best way to
do the man ytasks of farm life with
the minimum expediture of manual
effort. The result is expressed in the
many farm implements and devices
which have during recent years been
placed upon the market. Time which
may lie saved by the use of machinery
is time which may be devoted to more
careful planning and the establishment
of more perfect organization in the
system of management which governs
the farm work.
Not only is the creative genius of
the farmer directed toward the inven-
ton and improvement of machines to
help him in his daily work, but he is
called upon to work out the proper de-

TALKS ON THRIFT.
GASOLINE AND THRIFT.

To write about thrift in connection
with gasoline would seem as logical
as talking about peace and quietude
of mind amid the bursting of shells on
a battlefield. But there can be thrift
in the use of things that seem luxur-
ious, as we'll as thrift in the use of
things that are! necessary. If, for in
stance, with the gift Of an article that
is a pure luxury goes the directions
for it's economical use, it would be
folly to disregard the advice of the
maker who knows how the article
should be used to give the best re-
suits, irrespective of the fact that it
costs you nothing.
IT, out of the millions of car owners
of this country, only small percent
age were to practice thrift in the use
of gasoline, the consumption would
be greatly reduced and the cost
cheapened accordingly; for the high
prices must of necessity be traceable
to the huge and Unsuitable demand
that results from the hundreds OF
thousands of cars used daily.
When the motor car was a new
thing, gas was obtainable at a price
that would make the heart of the
present day motorist leap with joy,
and little thought given to its econ
omy; but as it goes up and up, care
must of necessity be used if the cost
Of motoring does not become prohibit
tive. 1t has been stated on good au-
thority that saving of from fifty to
enc hundred dollars per year per car
could be made, if care were taken in
the use of gasoline Care of bearings,
care Of tires, end clean cylinders will
save the car owner more than he
knows. Those who know anything
at all about car will appreciate the
fact that we waste a lot of fuel that
does no good.
We do not coast the hillsa we let the
motor run when the car is standing,
we use the clutch too much. we have
poor adjustments on the carburetor
and burn gas instead of air. We do
not get full measure from the gasoline
seller, and we make long detours be-
cause distance is so little an element
in motoring.
There will come a time. if it is not
already here, when every man who
earns twelve hundred dollars a, year
in small places. and eighteen hundred
year in the larger towns, can afford
and should have car. 1t brings
more lasting and beneficial pleasures
than any other medium yet devised.

RURAL CREDITS WEAKNESS.

The weakness Of the rural credits
law, which will go into operation in a
few months. lies in the fact that land
less farmers are unable to take ad .
vantage Of its provisions.
The law makes it easier for farm
ers who have land to borrow money,
and at lower rates; but the landless
man who can farm, but is unable TIC
furnish the security or meet the other
requirements essential to member
ship in the farm loan bank, is COM
pletely out of it,
The law, therefore, can hardly have
the effect of putting the tenant farmer
on land of his own
