CARE FOR HARNESS PROPERLY
Most Farmers Give This Part of
Equipment Scant Attention Dur
ing the Busy Months.

While 1t is generally conceded to
be the best plan to care for the har-
ness properly throughout the entire
year, most farmers give this part of
their farm equipment scant attention
during the busy months. AS long as
the harness holds together and will
give service, the work-harness is
thrown on to the horses backs day
after day, and no more thought is
given it. However, when the busy
days are over, there is no excuse for
not giving the harness little special
attention. 1t is a good plan to wash
the dirt and grease from the straps
at least once a year, and then give
them a good oiling and working until
the leather is soft and pliable. Buckles
should be oiled SO they can be handled
easily.

Damp litter is breeder of disease.
Clean milk is obtained only by a
clean dairyman.
Don't overfeed the chicks. They
will become inactive and diseased.
Look sharp for the champion cow.
She may be right in your own dairy.
For strong, vigorous poults, mate
old turkey hens to young, vigorous
toms.
Calves will make as good growth on
separator milk with daxseed as on
whole milk.
The cream should be kept at uni
form temperature and stirred at least
twice each day, thoroughly.
Whether or not a man can make his
dairy pay may depend wholly upon the
attention he pays to the cows.
A mixture Of cottonseed meal and
shorts, and alfalfa hay. is very good
feed or ration for fattening calves.
One user Of milking machine says
that one Of the best things about it
is that 1t does not swear at the cows.
A supply of salt should be always
accessible to cows, either in granu-
lated form or large pieces Of rock salt.
There is no way of determining the
profltableness of COW except with the
Babcock test and the scales, and then
keeping records Of the cost of feed.

and constantly kept there by moving
the glass. Bells ring simultaneously in
both these stations on the twenty
eighth, twenty-ninth and thirtieth Sec
ond of each observation. On the third
bell both observers read the angles on
the scale and telephone those findings
to the men at the plotting board, big
semicircular table, equipped with
swinging brass arms to be moved
across the board to give angles and
distances.
That plotting room In firing time
sounds very much like the old-fash-
ioned schoolroOm when the awful hour
came for oral arithmetic.
Only in the plotting room they throw
in a lot of decimals, and one man takes
up the. problem at the instant it falls
from the lips of the one ahead of him,
and they not only have to think but
use a lot of mathematical instruments
at the same time. And when you think
you have the answer, that is only the
beginning. That is merely the uncOr-
rected range.
More figures are to tumble into the
situation as fast as q man can talk,
several men rather. The wind is blow
ing and something must be allowed
for that, three-tenths of a degree, say,
for an eight-mile breeze. A man at the
Misunderstanding table must figure that
out and contribute his hit. Don't for

beach, where the gun is, the vessel on
the sea, there is decimal or so higher

figures that out. The ship is moving

the target affects the problem.
All in Half Minute.
Then the shot itself, in journey Of
six miles, is going to deviate some
from a straight line. Answer to that,
please. So all these things are called
out to the man at the range board,
who must coordinate them and correct
the first answer This, too, is all done
in 80 seconds. And by the time the
gun has been fired and loaded the OBJ
servers and the plotters have done
the thing all over again and flash the
next range to the men at the gun.
Then there is muzzle velocity, which
is never twice alike from two lots Of
powder. So the coast artillerymen blend
their powder by hand, taking grains
from different cans Ca grain of nitro
celluIOse is about the size of spool or
thread till they get the mixture they
like, make trial shot with that to
see what muzzle velocity it gives and
then figure on the factor remaining
the same so long as the same blend is
used through one period of target prac-
tice. Of course, after little while
change in the weather or temperature
will upset that calculation, and an
other blend has to be made.
And after all this care in blending
powder, all this precision in the mathe-
matics of the thing, there comes in the
gun pointer, not the man behind the
gun, but the man crouched alongside
it on his narrow, shelflike platform,
with his eye on the target, too, and
his hand on the delicate mechanism
that in the last instant must be cor
rect to hairs breadth if the shot is
going home.

Women of New York'S East Side
Form Force to Regulate
District.
PROTECTION FOR THE GIRLS
Principal Crusade Will Be Waged
Against Cadet System and Mod
ern Dress and Movie Theater
Evils Will Be Fought.

New York.-What is said to be the
first mother police force in the his
tory of the world has been organized
on the lower East side of New York
city. The primary purpose of the or
ganization, which is composed exclu-
siyely OF mothers of the district, is the
protection of young girls. To this end
it will make war on extremes in mod
ern day dress, wage a campaign
against that type of dance and movie
hall regularly known as the cadet,
and keep open house at all times for
the young girl in need of advice.
AS side lines of endeavor, the wom-
en- police will keep look out for false
weights and tricky scales In trade
shops, instruct immigrants in the re-
ouisites of good citizenship, keep
watch on the public parks to prevent
waste paper, litter and other forms OF
desecration, and generally aim at the
upbuilding of community life.
The mother police" is the idea OF
Harry III. Schlacht, young attorney
who started the boy police movement,
which has spread through the coun-
try with such rapidity the past few
years. It was from the operation OF
his boy police force that Mr.. Schlacht
received his inspiration for the organ
ization of this new department.
The Juvenile cops" as the boys
STYLED themselves, were denied en-
trance to dance halls and were looked
upon with disfavor at many moving
picture theaters--or In general In fields
of endeavor fruitful for the cadet. The
young attorney talked the situation
over with a number Of mothers OF the
East side and 100 Of them volunteered
to lend their aid in the formation OF an
organization to abate the cadet evil.
Mr.. Schlacht assumed active charge OK

Take 10-ounce ducking and cut 1t in

take one of the squares and cut it into

triangle put in stones Zone or more)

PRACTICAL FARM CORNCRIB
So Farmer Can Drive in With

A double crib with wide and high

here is built so that the owner can
drive in with load Of hay or straw.
The driveway is IA feet wide and the
doors are hung on heavy iron hinges
and are IA feet high. A set of scales
can be built into the floor here if one
desires. Being under cover they will
last years longer than where left un-
sheltered.

CHEAPER SPRAY FOR SUMMER
Fruit Growers and Gardeners See No
Profit in Using Copper Sulphate
Use Lime Sulphur.

The cost of copper sulphate is so
high this season that many fruit grow
ers and gardeners cannot see any profit
in using it as a spray material, at the
same time realizing the danger of not
spraying at all. 1t has been found that
q solution of lime-sulphur solution,
diluted to 1 to 40 is fully as effective
as bordeaux mixture, and in many or
chards it has given even better results
than the bordeaux. Many apple grow
ers will use the summer spray of lime
sulphur this year who have never used
it before.

TURNING HORSES ON ALFALFA
Plant Contains Relatively Large Per-

To obtain the best results from pas
turing work horses on alfalfa, they
should be turned out every night.
Turning out one night and keeping In
the next is bound to derange the di-
gestive tract quicker than pasture

BIG VALUE OF FARM MANURE
Not Fully Appreciated Until High
Prices Of Potash and Acid Phos-
phate Woke Up Farmer.

The high prices of potash and acid
phosphate at this time are causing
much concern among farmers who de-
pend upon commercial fertilizers to
supply these constituents for the sue
cessful production Of their crops.
If the farmers of this country had
always fully appreciated the true
value of farm manure, and used it on
their land, the present situation would
be much less acute.

CROPS REQUIRE RICH SOILS
Greatest Value Of Sweet Clover Will
Be Found in Its Use as Green
Manuring Plant.

It may not be advisable to grow
sweet clover on land that will produce
good crops of red clover and alfalfa.
These crops require rich, well-ferti-
lized soil; but sweet clover will grow
on the poor soils. 1t is a poor-land
crop, and probably its greatest value
will be found in it's use as a green
manuring crop. 1t will enable the
farmer to fill his unproductive soils
with humus and bring the land to a
condition that will enable the crop to
utilize the fertility 1T contains.
