Farmers Demand the Best.

Experience has shown automobile manufacturers that the farmer of to- day is following the lead of his city neighbors in his method of judging au- tomobile values. It used to be that he studied well the mechanical features of the car he had in mind and paid but little heed to appearance. Now, how ever, attractive lines in an automobile are just as necessary in winning the approval of the modern agriculturist as is durability or economy.
 The motor car that is popular in the big cities Is bound to be in favor among the farmers.
 The farmer of today insists upon a car that will give him luxurious riding comfort and stand up under all kinds of rough going. At the same time 1t must be of such distinctively attractive design and finish that he will be proud of it when he drives into the city.

HINTS ON PROPER SPRAYING
Buy Paris Green in Original Package, Guaranteed Pure-Arsenate of
 Lead Is Also Popular.

In the use of paris green to kill in- sects the right proportions are one and half pounds of the poison to one pound of fresh lime and 200 gallons of water. But note in using this that it must be kept stirred, else the poison will settle, as 1t is heavier than water. Buy the green in the original pack age, guaranteed pure. In this formula the lime is used to overcome the caus- tic poison which might otherwise in jure foliage.
 For fungous troubles add to this same mixture six or eight pounds of copper sulphate or bluestone. The bluestone is always to be dissolved in water in a separate vessel and not mixed with the limewater until just before using. The bluestone Is best dissolved by inclosing in burlap sack and suspending 1t in the water.
 Another poison largely used instead of paris green is arsenate of lead. This has some advantages over the other. It remains in solution longer, 1t ad- heres to the foliage better and there Is less danger of injury to the foliage Two pounds of the arsenate to fifty gallons of water is the right nropor- tion. This may be added to the bor- deaux mixture also.
 A substitute for the bordeaux is the lime-sulphur solution, and some fruit men prefer this when the trees are dor mant.
 This is doubtless the best treatment for scales and all sucking insects. The lime-sulphur is a commercial article and may be bought in all sized pack ages up to barrel size. One gallon of this to eight of water is the proper mixture, but does not apply to growing plants. Arsenate of lead may be add ed if poison is desired.

HOW MAGNET IS USED
PROVIDES MEANS OF GENERAT.
 ING ELECTRIC CURRENT.
Made of Hardened Steel in Order tc Retain Their Magnetism-Attrae-
 tion of the Poles.

The greatest use for horseshoe mag. nets is found in magnetOs. Practically every magneto has horseshoe magnets to provide the magnetism necessary tC generate the electric current when the magneto is run.
 The magnets are charged by winding them with a coil of wire as shown in Fig. 1 and causing q current of cleo tricity from a battery or q 'direct cur rent" generator to pass through the coil. The number of turns of wire to use depends upon the strength of the magnet desired and the strength of the current which is to run through the coil. Horseshoe magnets are called permanent magnets and are made of hardened steel so they will retain their magnetism. How we'll the magnet will hold its magnetism depends upon the hardness of the steel and the treat ment the magnet receives Pounding a magnet will generally destroy or weaken it's magnetism. After one is equipped for charging magnets the cost of the charging is very low.
 The two ends of a magnet are called poles and are distinguished as north pole and south pole. The pole which attracts the north pointing needle of a compass is the south pole. A north

Friedrich IlSemann of near Bremen, Germany, is the inventor of this de vice. recently patented in the United States, for lifting motor cars and the like. Under the wheel axle is a lever pivotally mounted on the frame of the car, the lever having two bearing points. One of these bearing points Is arranged at shorter radial distance from the pivot of the lever than the other, which serves for supporting the lifted car. A spring influenced spur is hinged on said lever at the bearing point mentioned with a shorter radial distance from the pivot than the sup porting point, this being for the pur.

The Steertno Gear,

Ones life depends upon the stability of the steering mechanism. Too great stress cannot be laid upon the neces- sity of a careful inspection of these parts at frequent intervals. Between the steering control and wheels there are numerous connections. any one of which, if defective, might prove dis astrous. It is not an unnecessary hard ship to inspect the front wheel bear ings also at times when the general inspection is being made.

knife blade or finger nail over an in- fected limb a yellow liquid, from the crushed bodies of the insects, appears. Many fruit-growers first find the scale on the fruit by the red blotching which develops about the point of attack. The blotch is deep red in color with light spot in the center and may vary in size from a mere spot to a distinct blotch. The pest seemingly injects poison while extracting sap, which causes the red blotch.
 All trees and fruit should be ire quently examined and in all cases where there is any question about the presence of the scale in an orchard, samples of bark, twig and fruit should be sent to the Missouri agricultural experiment station at Columbia, for examination. It is waste of time and material to spray for the scale where it is not present, and it is ex- pensive to let an orchard go unsprayed where the pest is present, so make sure about the presence of the pest first.

 The San Jose scale will attack more than 100 different kinds of trees and shrubs, but 1t Is most often found on apple, peach and pear trees and on cur rant and fire-bush. When it first be- gins to appear on tree it is difficult for one to detect 1t. for the small gray circular armOrs are no larger than a pin-head.

straw for bedding. The straw is let stable and the silo, there being no other connection between the stable and the storage room above. The only objection t0 keeping bedding in such storage room is removed by having it dropped into this separate feed room, the door into the stable being closed. thus keeping out all dust which may be stirred up in handling the ma terial. The special construction of the floor overhead makes the sitting of dust down from the storage room very slight, and the air in the stable is therefore kept in the best condition at all times.
 The chute used for the bedding is also used to drop silage from the diff. ferent silo doors as required. All out. side doors are hung with special roller tracks, so they open and shut very easily and fasten with heavy iron fas. teners, which may be operated from either the inside or outside. These de. tails have a very desirable effect in re. ducing all possible waste of time and energy in the maintenance of the herd
 There have been a great many de vices placed on the market during re. cent years which aid the small dairy. man to carry on his business in the best possible manner. With modern methods helped out by these appliances the dairying business has lost many of the disadvantages which 1t formerly had to contend with. By installing his dairy cows in a separate stable which is arranged to assist him in every way in establishing a systematic and sani. tary method of conducting this branch of his business the farmer of today

the wall shall be waterrroofed to keep moisture away from the foundation.

Inside the foundation walls is a solid concrete floor which is laid of with managers at the sides of the center feeding alley. and cow-standing floors, the front portions being on level with the manager floors. The standing floors slope from the center to the gutters The alleys behind the gutters are sev- eral inches lower than the standing floors and are wide enough to make room for the manure carriers which run on overhead tracks. This arrange ment is excellent for the cleaning of the stalls, 1t being possible to put the barn in good condition easily and quickly with a minimum of hand labor
 There are doors at each end of the litter alleys, opening into the yard, SC that 1t is possible to have easy access to the stable from any direction. The litter carrier track may be carried out at either end of the alley, but it is usually found to be most satisfactory if carried out at the end near the sllo thus leaving the other end of the struc. ture clear.
 There is a well-made ceiling over the COW stable which gives eight feet of headroom in the clear above the fiooI of the center feed alley.

Co-0perative creameries Show Tremendous Increase in
 Butter Production.

The Dairy Commissioner, at first an-
 nual convention of Saskatchewan
 Dairymen's association. reviewed pro-
 gress of 1915 which shows a great in-
 crease in the butter production of the
 cooperative creameries amounting to
 100000 lbs. H. also said the im-
 provement in quality is shown by the
 preference accorded Saskatchewan
 butter in outside markets. Shipments
 out of the province for the year to- taled g carloads.
 According to bulletin just issued by the Manitoba department of agricul- ture, the dairy industry had a very successful year In 1915. There was an increase of over 1000. 900 lbs. of cream cry butter produced. as against the previous year. about 100000 lbs. in- crease in dairy butter and over 25.OOO lbs. increase in the cheese output. The increase of the total value of milk and milk products was over $427, 900. The production of dairy butter for Mani- toba during the year was 4,15O,444 lbs. and 1t brought an average price of 23c per lb.; of creamery butter 5,S39 667 lbs. were produced which commanded 29c per ID. on the average; cheese pro duction was 726,725 lbs. which sold at an average price of 15c-the total value of these three products is given as s2,760, ,69S. in addition to which the milk produced is valued at S325.6s9 and the cream at $15s.S27. the average price of the milk being reckoned at 2.1c per ID. and of sweet cream at 32c per ID. butter-fat. In connection with the dairy industry 1t is interesting to note that almost the most important fodder crop now Is corn, of which the 1915 production amounted to 190,132 tons. The biggest cultivated fodder crop is timothy which for last season produced 1e3.357 tons and the next most popular crop was brome grass with 45.s15 tons: of alfalfa and clover there were produced some 3S,OOO tons. The number of cattle in the province Is given as 631, ,Oo5, which is an in- crease of 130,0O0 over the previous year.
 The fact that the Red Deer, Alberta, cheese factory is handling four times as much milk this season as last win ter shows the growing improvement in the dairy industry. On Feb. II, 1t was announced the factory had just shipped two tons of cheese for Calgary market
 Cardston, Alberta, creamery in 1915 paid its patrons rate of 27kc per ID. for butter fat and had a profit re- over all expenses of S5,5S4. The creamery during season dislrib- uted among farmers S61, ,117 and manu- factured 256,OO0 lbs. butter and 13.OOO lbs. cheese. Average price realized for butter was 2SH cents.
 The development of the dairy indus try of Northern Alberta is well indi- cated by the growth of a prominent dairy business here, which in 1915 pro- duced 2.525.0O0 lbs. butter. an increase of 100000 lbs. over the previous year. This product has found market in all parts of Canada and this year will en- ter the export trade. Advertisement.

and more 10 the attention of those who have contributed to the rapid advance of improved conditions in this business during recent years. The new methods have found a basis for operation in al- most every community and the public has been aroused to such a point that the dairyman who does not follow the trend of the times Is very likely 10 have a shrinking market for his prod ucts. The days of the old tumble down dairy barn have passed and the modern structure must pass the ap- proval of the critical age in which It is erected.
 One of the modern principles is shown in the tendency. in some parts of the country where farmers are do- ing special dairy work along sanitary ines, to house the dairy cows in such separate stable as is shown here. The purpose of this practice is to eliminate the dirt and dust occasioned 3y handling of feed or other material from the air in the stable. Clean air Is as important as clean feed or clean Hoors. This purpose is further aided by the ease with which the problem of ventilation may be solved when the herd is kept in 3 building by itself. The practice is an admirable one and 1t should be given the hearty approval of every man interested in improving the conditions of his property. It may be the thought of some that the ex- pense involved in adding building for the purpose of housing few dairy COWS is not compensated for by the re- turns from the business. This Is not true in great many cases, for the ex- perience of many farmers who. with the heIp of one man. are able to make
