RIGHT HANDLING OF MANURE
Best Possible Use of This Product Ex'
ceedinqIy Important-Worth From
5000 to $500.

Measured by power to increase the
productivity of the farm, the manure
from the average farm is worth from
5000 to $500 dollars annually.
The best possible use of this prod
uct is exceedingly important at pres
emf and will be increasingly important
as time goes on.
Every farm manager can well afford
to make himself familiar with all the
facts in regard to the proper handling
of manure.

The outbreaks Of measles at the

rails were laid for street cars-not
automobiles. If a small cut ap
pears in your casing, have it re.
paired at once This will add
greatly to the milage and injury
to the casing is minimized if a re-
pair is made promptly.
When a cut is left Enclosed,
dirt forses its way into the fabric,
water enters and other destructive
elements get in which materially
shorten the life of the tire. Even.
tually the cut results in a blow out.
BE careful to see that your
brakes are properly adjusted.
Thousands of tires are literally torn
to pieces by improper brake AUST

in applying the brakes do it
slowly. A quick stop grinds the

In turning the corners go slowly.

Three Years of High Prices for Live
Stock.

RAISE more live stock; there
will be high prices for at least
three years to come" this is an
emergency message to farmers and
stock growers from G. Howard
Dawson, president of the Interna
tional Live Stock Exposition and
chairman of the executive COM
mittee of the National Agricultural
Society.
Says Mr.. Dawson: I'm my
judgement there will be a scarcity
of nearly all kinds of live stock for
some time to come and farmers
and stockman should make their
plans accordingly. This means
that there should be no selling of
young animals or female breeding
stock merely because current prices
are high. Better money can be
made by working on the under
standing that high prices for hogs,
cattle, sheep and other live stock
will rule for at least three or four
years to come.
There is no doubling this in
view of the knowledge that Europe
has lost over 50 per cent of its live
stock-that the whole world in fact
is suffering from serious shortage
in all kinds of food animals.
There is so much concern over
a possible wheat or potato short
