Thousands of Dollars Lost
Through Rusting
Machinery.

All farm implements should
now be under shelter and be put
in first-class condition for next
season The binder should be re-
paired now and not when you are
ready to begin work. Delay at
harvest time may mean the loss
of man ydollars. The same prin-
ciple holds true for all other
farm machines.
Too many farmers are careless
with the equipment which makes
farming a paying business. In
every section of the State farm
machinery can be seen out in the
weather for weeks and months at
time. Such practices eat up the
profits Of the farm. What would
the farmer think of the manufac-
turcr who neglected his machin-
cry? The manufacturer would be
a mighty poor business man, yet
the farmer, who is the greatest
producer, allows his machines to
rust and go without care.
Every farmer should have a
place to store his machinery. a
small building Of simple construc-
ton, located between the house
and barn, is best. A long shed
not more than Is feet wide, pro-
vidcd with continuous doors
along one side, is more conyen-
lent for removing implements
than wider building. A small
shop included at one end is a
great convenience in keeping iHf
plcmcnts in repair.
When your. implements are
brought in from the field inspect
them very carefully and note all
repairs needed on a tag and tie
it on the implement. Carefully
clean and oil all bearings and
look over wooden parts. If the
paint is becoming worn, put on a
new coat to prevent the wood
from shrinking or swelling. Place
the machine under shelter and re-
move the tag when all repairs
have been made in first-class con-
dition. Proper maintenance and
protection of farm machinery in
Missouri would mean millions of
dollars in the pockets Of the far
mers each year.-E. w. Lehman,
Missouri College of Agriculture.

The European War a See Saw,

During the past week the war
in Europe has developed into a
sort of see saw. One side will re-
port that the enemy was driven
from his position in such and such
d town, and the other side will
report that they retired to a
stronger position and that they
are better off than ever.
Things have been comparative
ly quiet along the French front
a bombardmcnt in the Somme re-
gion being about the extent of
hostilities. In Rllmania the leu
tons have been successful. The
.tustria-German forces are con-
tinuing their drive through west
crn Wlalachia and are reaching
out for the town of Craiova, a
railroad town midway between
Orsova. in Hungary, and Bucha-
rest.
The fighting in Macedonia,
from the Cerna river to Lake
Brcsba, has resulted in com
plctc victory for the entente
troops according to the dis
patches from Paris.
Sunday the Serbian and French
forces drove the Austrian and
Germans out Of Monster, in Ser
via, and it is reported that the
Scrvian king will establish his
capital there at once.
Cold weather has set in on the
Russian front, and as a conse-
uucncc but little fighting is going
on there.
The best posted military critics
are of the opinion that the war
will last well into next year.
Last week there was report that
both sides were ready for peace
and in short time President
Wilson would tender his good Of
fees as a peace maker and that
a protocol would be signed and
that while if was in effect a way
would be found to end the war so
hat each side would be satisfied.
But it seems that there is no com
non ground on which the bclli-
rcrcntS could come to any sort
VI an agreement and it looks as
t the plan would come to nothing
md the fighting go OH until one l
" both sides have to stop on ac- /
count of exhaustion. S

Time to Guard Car Radiator.

The sudden drop in tempera-
ture reminds motorists the time
is approaching when anti-freeze
solution should be put in the rad
iator, if the car is to be run in
the winter months. The usual
formula for the mixture, 60 parts
water, 20 parts denatured alco-
hol, and 20 parts glycerine, prob:
ably will be changed this winter
on account of the price of glycer-
inc, which is selling for about
$50 a quart now. Motor dealers
say q solution Of 60 parts water,
IS parts alcohol and S parts gly-
cerine will prevent freezing at 20
degrees below zero. A small
quantity Of glycerine is used to
prevent evaporation Of the alco-
hol.

Autos Bring People into Closer
Touch.

The automobile is the enemy Of
isolation. A man with an auto
mobile living twenty miles from
a town doesn't feel that he is far
away from it. It is therefore
small wonder that more than half
the automobiles manufactured
this year are being sold in the
country. Some of the big COM
panies are selling more than twice
as many machines in the country
than in the cities. The high
priced cars also are having a
ready sale in the country, much
to the surprise and delight of
their makers. There are millions
of persons living in the fringe of
our great cities, who when they

time in which to do it than a far

miles from town takes to go. to
theatre or church. And besides,

ton Of country life, and the time
is near at hand when every tar

Fall Exposure is Most Injurious
