TO KEEP WASHERS

Leather Deteriorates Rapidly Un-

From Action of Air.

tBy L. d. GRAIN, Colorado Agricultural
College. Fort Collins. Colo.)
Stock leather washers, although
made from oil-treated material, II
stored without protection soon become
dry and hard. The deterioration is
rapid and the usefulness of the wash
ers is greatly lessened.
Those who carry a stock of cup
washers, fiat washers or any form
made from leather will find 1t to their
advantage and profit to preserve them
from the action Of the air. One meth
cd is to pack these leather parts in
tin or galvanized iron box and cover
them with melted tallow. 1t has been
found that since these parts are made
from an animal substance. the cover
Ing of grease used should also be Of
an animal origin.
On removal from the pack these
washers will be found sufficiently pill
able to be applied Immediately to the
pumps or other machinery for which
they are intended.

(From Weekly Letter United States De-
partment OF Agriculture)
To obtain good results from flock
OF poultry during the winter all
houses and coops should be put in
good condition, only healthy fowls
placed in the buildings, and good care
given to the poultry. The houses
should be thoroughly cleaned, disin-
fected and made tight for winter. II
the house has a dirt floor, it Is well
to remove three or four inches from
the top and substitute fresh gravel or
sand. If the floor is cement or wood,
remove all litter and dirt and put in
four or five inches of fresh straw or
litter. Be sure that the house is
tight on three sides and that there is
no chance for a draft to strike the
hens. If hens roost or are placed in
a draft during the fall and winter,
result in roup and other troubles.
The south side, or front, of the poul-
try house may be left comparatively
open, but should be under control, 50
that the openings may be closed
gradually as the weather becomes
cold. Have muslin curtains in the
front of the house, or leave window
partly open even on the coolest nights
to allow some ventilation in the house.
Fowls will stand considerable cold air
provided 1t is dry, and ventilation will
keep the air thoroughly dry in the
house
The pullets should be brought in
off the range and put in winter quar-
tiers, but before they are mixed with
the older fowls be sure that the hens
are banded CT that the web Of the
foot is punched in some way so as to
distinguish between the pullets and
the hens. In this way the older stock
may be culled out whenever 1t APP
pears desirable, and the young hens
| kept for further laying. Gull the
chickens which are brought into the
laying house carefully, ard fatten and
market all chickens which are small,
poorly developed or in poor condition.
These small, poorly-developed chick
ems are apt to catch Geld If put in with
the other poultry, and develop dis
eases which quickly spread through
the flock. Market all surplus cocker
els or older male birds which are not
desired for breeding or not wanted
for later market.
Feed the grain in deep litter on
the floor and make the hens exercise
for all of their grain. The mash may
be fed either wet or dry, and should
be SO regulated that the. fowls will
get about equal parts of mash and of
the scratch grains. 1t is necessary
to give the fowls plenty to eat to get

Soluble salts should not occur in ex-

The deep roofing Of grapevines is
absolutely essential to long-lived
plants and the production OF large
yields of excellent fruit In irrigated
sections, where rainfall does not oc-
cur during the growing season, the
depth OF root penetration is deter
mined by the abundance and location
of the moisture. Loose, open soils,

soils make vigorous top growth, with

quality. Compact soils, carrying large
percentages of moisture near the sur
face and none below, cause the plants
to become shallow rooted. The min
eral food supply is consequently linn
tied and the roots are subjected to
extreme and rapid changes Of temper
ature and moisture. Such plants pro-
duce inferior fruit, the yielding dur
ing season varies greatly, the produc-
ing lifetime of the plant is short, and
the vineyard is likely to result in
financial loss. The selection Of the
right type Of soil is therefore very
essential to success.
Pruning and training are also impor-
tant factors to consider in the culture
OF grapes.

MUDDY BARNARD is

Keep Out All Water Possible and
Provide Means for Removing
All That Enters.
(By Z. r. JONES, Secretary OF Wiscon-

(By e. r. JONES, Secretary of Wiscon-
sin Drainage Association.)
Both convenience and economy de-
mand a dry barnyard. The flooded,
muddy barnyard drives the chore boy
off the farm, carries the manure pile
down the creek and makes the old COW
wallow in the mire to reach the water
tank or the barn door. A dry barn
yard is within reach of all.
Assume that fate has been most un-
kind to you-that you have inherited
a barnyard that is flooded by the high
er land, that 1t Is SO fiat that even its
own rainwater cannot escape, and that
It has no convenient outlet for a line
Of tile to carry the water piped from
the eavestroughs.
With a road scraper or grader you
can throw up dixie around all but
the lower side Of the yard. Seed grass
in the dixie and in the shallow ditch
on the outside OF 1t. The dixie and
ditch will carry the flood water around
the yard.
Next, make a slope in the yard.
Raise the hoor or the barn until IL Is
two feet higher than the surface of
the ground 100 feet away. You may
have to raise the entire barn, but do
1t. Haul earth from the nearest sandy
knoll to fill outside of the barn to with
in half a foot of the new level of the
floor. Haul enough to slope the sur
face gradually for fifty feet or more
away from the barn. Then pipe the
cave water to the ditch outside of the
dixie.
In short, keep out all the water you
can and provide means for remov-
ing what enters in spite of you. Un-
like cultivated fields. barnyards are
tramped so hard that drain tile for
underdrainage are too slow. Surface
Grains act more quickly

Pruning Blackberries.

1t is best to prune blackberries in
the fall. Usually only FIVE or six canes
from each root should be allowed to
grow, the others being pulled out while
they are still small. When the canes
are two and one-half to three feet
high the tips should be cut or pinched
back two or three inches. This checks
upward growth and many laterals
push out These laterals bear the fruit
the following season.
