Mechanical Horse In War.

were hitched, was controlled entirely
by two reins in the hands Of Il driver.
1t was taken through the congested
loop district" thoroughfares with per
feet ease. The plan was employed
daily for a fortnight and apparently
netted good results. for during the pc
riod large numbers of volunteers filed
into the recruiting places. Although
still little known, the machine is not
a new type. Primarily il Is intended

DAYS 10 Come

AS vacation time brings one out 10
some quiet countryside of the United
States there m n painful sense of
the contrast between what we see here
and the scenes OF d~esolation pictured
In all u magazines. The vineyards
about Lake Erie are full of Septem-
ber's promise, but those Of Champagne
are crisscrossed by innumerable trench
systems and tormented by ceaseless
shell fire. The orchards of California
and Virginia are rlpening their burden
In drowsy peace. but what of those
fought through by armies Of car and
kaiser? You can hear a woodpecker
half a mile away In the pines of Chey-
enne canyon, but there's n different
story to tell of the blasted and blood
stained woods of Ardennes. And yet
this fever Of war will pass. The guns
will have had their day, however long
and terrible, and in the end nature and
the patient folk who serve her will
come TO their w again.-Collier's.

make much profit from pota Toes II

Is n serious disease and one that can
be carried Ola seed potatoes and spread
rapidly. The spores Of this disease
can frequently be seen on the outside,
even IL the potato Is only slightly af-

If there Is a sign Of scab on the
seed potatoes be sure to use the for

them. Soak the potatoes two hours

You can obtain the formaldehyde mt

small cost. This treatment does not
affect the terminating quality of the
seed and 1t will protect your potato

OIL FARM MACHINES FREELY
Where Axle Grease Is Used SparingIy
Draft OF Load Is Increased at
Least 20 Per Cent.

By ID. r.. w1SEMAN. Kansas Station.)
lie pays to use plenty OF lubricating
oil on farm machinery. Where the oil
or axle grease is used sparingly the
draft or load OF the machine Is In
creased ut least 20 per cent. Because
of its economy hard oil should be used
In preference to ordinary machine oil
wherever possible. The hard oil will
not waste rs easily and Is cheaper
than machine oil.
A well-lubricated machine will hast
longer than n that Is not sufficiently
well oiled. The dust-proof box on
most axles Of modern farm machinery
has done much to lengthen the life of
the machines and Is saving the lubri-
ant. Care must be taken TO keep this
box well oiled, or 1t Will wear cut.
The cost OF repairing machinery Is
high, but the time that is lost In re-
placing WORKOUT pieces may mean n
loss OF hundreds of dollars to the
farmer.

UNUSUAL BOATS ON ATLANTIC

ship seen frequently on the Pacific, but
seldom on the western ocean.

TIME OF BREEDING HEIFERS
Period Should Be Largely Governed
by Size and Development of
Animal Rather Than Age.

Numerous factors are responsible for
complete and early development OF
breeding heifers. If properly fed and
housed, nothing exerts greater influ-
enc upon the final size Of the animals
than time of breeding. Early breeding
is quite often practiced TO the disad-
vantage and detriment of the future
herd. The most desirable type of milch
COW has a large body capable of con-
Stunning and digesting large quantities
of feed. Early breeding prevents the
desired growth and is not warranted
under average conditions. The age Of
breeding should be largely governed
by the size of the breeding heifers
rather than their age.

RIGHT TIME FOR DEHORNING
Operation Should Be Performed Dur
Ing Cool Weather When Flies Are
Not to BE Commended With.

Dehornlng Is best done during cool
weather. before the flies come out. 1t
Is most easily done with dehorning
shears or clippers. However, ii is
claimed THAT the saw makes n cleaner
wound than the clippers. and that II
generaiiv heals over quicker.
Ordinarily. Ii is not necessary TO APP
ply anything after dehorning. In warm
weather, however, II is well to smear
some pine tar over the wound. We
certainly do not recommend soaring
the wound with a hot iron to stop the
bleeding.
An excellent bulletin on dehornlng
Is Farmers Bulletin No. 800. which
may be secured free from the United
States department Of agriculture, Mt
Washington. ID. c.
