PROPER CARE OF MACHINERY
Implements Exposed TO Moisture Rust
Out RapidIy-coat All Metals
With Cheap Oils.

Machinery, where exposed to mois-
ture, rusts out very rapidly. In fact.
rust does more damage to the ex-
posed machinery than the work which
the implement is called upon to do.
This is a needless waste, however,
because rust can practically be over
come by taking the proper care of the
machine when not in use.
Farmers could get more than twice
as much wear out of most implements,
if they were housed properly. This
alone will not suffice in some climates.
A very good way to keep the rust from
attacking iron parts exposed to mois-
ture ie to coat all the iron with a very
cheap oil. This oil should be thick
and heavy, so that when applied to
the iron it will not run off.
This coating of oil will keep all of
the moisture away from the iron and
therefore will prevent rust from start
ing.

DOES POPCORN PAY?
Foundation of Agriculture in
Many of the States.
Profit Depends Largely on Farmers
Ability to Secure Good Quality,
Store Crop Properly and Mar
ket 1t AdvantageousIy.
CBy C. P. HARTLEY

The question Does it pay to grow
popcorn?'' is frequently asked, and the
answer is yes" 1t pays to grow pop
corn, but owing to the limited market
for this crop it would not be advisable
to begin its culture on large scale.
The supply at present Just about
equals the demand. No farmer should
expect to grow rich in a few years
time by growing popcorn. If the good
years are averaged up with the poor
ones, this crop will be found to pay
about as well as field corn. ANY farm
er in the corn-producing states can
produce popcorn, but the profit de-
ponds largely upon the producers abil-
ity to grow popcorn of good quality,
store his corn properly, and market it
adyantageously.
The main portion of the crop which
ind its way to the large markets is
grown in few localities in Iowa and
Nebraska by farmers who make a
speciality of producing and handling
popcorn. Usually from 10 to so acres
are grown OF single farms,
During the past. much of the crop
was grown on contract, but at present
farmers are becoming more independ-
ent. Many have cribs of their own in
which they store aud cure their crop
and take chances on the market ris-
ing higher than the contract price
or the price at harvest time. In Iowa
and Nebraska elevator men have been
accustomed to buying up the bulk of

WATER FOUNTAINS FOR HENS
Various Devices on Market Suitable
for Indoor or Outdoor Uses-keep
Receptacle Covered.

There are various drinking fountains
On the market that are suitable for
indoor and outdoor uses. Any re-
ceptacle in which water is contained
should be covered to keep out the
dirt.
Drinking fountains should be raised
from the floor and placed in such posi-
ton that the hens cannot scratch lit
ter into them, because it often occurs,
particularly in large flocks, that before
many of the hens are through feeding
the water is so dirty that it is not fit
to drink.

USEFULNESS OF DAIRY COWS
VIII Soon Change Poor, Improbable
Farm Into Rich Producing One
Raise Your Feed.

The dairy cow will soon change a
poor, Improbable farm into rich, pro-
ductive farm that will pay a profit
upon the labor and capital used in
production, if she is given a chance.
When you try cows and raise plenty
of feed for them you will wonder how
you ever made the farm produce a liv-
ing without them.
Dairying is quite similar to manu-
featuring where the raw materials are
produced and converted into finished
products. Get some cows and see how
they will change the farm

Scarlet Fever

Many schools in different sec

cd to suspend work on account Of
the appearance of scarlet fever
in severe form.
There were nearly twice as
many deaths in 1915 from this
disease in North Carolina as from
infantile paralysis that is, re-
ported cases. The great maj
ority of fatalities from scarlet
fever are reported as nephritis

Scarlet fever is always serious.
Even when little patientrecov-
ers from an attack of the disease
itself, the complications which
often follow may cause lasting
damage to different parts of the
body. Some of the worst forms
of deafness result from an attack

in large percentage of cases.
Every case of scarlet fever is
evidence of negligence on the
part of someone in caring for a
previous case, because the only
known source of the disease is a
scarlet fever patient, from whom
the germ passes in some way and
again sets up an attackin a sus-
ceptible person.
One of the most important
things for people to know about
scarlet fever is that even the
mild cases are exceedingly dan
gerous. Often a mild attack is
followed by some fatal compli-
cation. This is especially true of
that involving the kidneys.
Remember that not only is the
disease always dangerous, but
eaisly given to others. A child
not sick enough to 60 to bed may
give the disease to another in
fatal form.
