Keep Ashes From Crate.

II requires air up through the fuel
to make it burn and this means that
the ashes must always be kept free
from under the crates and the solid
cltnkers that form above the crates
must be rsked out or else the air can
not pass up through the fuel. If the
crates OF q furnace have heat above
and are buried In ashes below they

In some furnaces the hot smoke is
caused to travel roundabout through

area of heated metal for contact with

There are boys who do not become
interested in their father-and the
fault is apt to lie In the father. The
father can remake himself, If he will.
1t Is his proper business to put him
self in the sons place, to live his life,
in measure, and at least to live It
enough to be able to understand and
to sympathize, and without sym pathy
there can be no intelligent guidance
or direction.
One half Of the boys in the world
go wrong, If they go wrong at all, be-
cause they do not have the proper con-
tact with their fathers, or their fathers
are not the right kind of men. When

almost anything that the outcome will

Here are some interesting things it
has found out:
Four head of horses, at an actual
cost of fifty cents an hour, will turn,
with the ordinary gang pillow, four
acres a day. With an eight-foot disk
harrow, fifteen acres can be covered.
With the same four-horse team,
thirty acres can be narrowed and,
with an eight-foot binder, fifteen
acrec can be harvested in ten hours
Tractor VS.. Horse.
On the other hand, it has been
demonstrated that a good light trac-
tor (the Buckeye Junior, Anderson,
Indiana), costs, for gasoline and
lubricating oil, an average of S1.65 a
day. Counting up-keep, depreciation,
etc, this tractor costs $3.75 a day,
and in that day, at two-mile speed,
plows five and six-tenths acres with
fourteen-inch "two-bottom gang"
and with three bottoms, eight and
fve-tenths acres. With two disk
harrows and a drag in tandem, this
tractor will cover i.ineteen and three
tenths acres in ten hours. In day,
thirty-five acres can be narrowed

Old Dobbin is d,omed. The
charges against him are that he has
to eat and sleep, and after working
all day stands in his stall instead of
pumping the water or running the
cream separator.
The thing that is putting old Dob
bin out of business is the farm
tractor. Twenty thousand tractors
were used on American farms last
year. Washington agricultural Off
Gals predict that soon practically all
farm work will be done by the busy
little machine that never grows tired.
The farm tractor does the work of
the horse-many horses-and does it
better at about half the cost. 1t
plants, plows, hauls or does road
grading. 1t runs the saw mill, cuts
ensilage and fills the silo. It pulls
the binder, works the hay baler, pulls
stumps, brushes stones and, after
hard days work in the field, pumps
the water or separates the cream or
churns the butter.
The Department of Agriculture
has been making tests Of tractors.

A Single Application
Ranishes Every Hair
(The Modern Beauty

Here is how any woman can easily
and quickly remove Objectionable,
hair growths without possible injury
to the skin: Make paste with some
powdered delatone and water, apply
to hairy surface and after 2 or 3
minutes rub of, wash the skin and
the hairs are gone. This Is painless
inexpensive method and, excepting
where the growth is unusually thick.
a single application is enough. You
should, however, be careful to get gen.
