FARM MACHINERY RUSTS OUT
Much Waste May Be Stopped by Prop.
er SheItering and Keeping Things
in Good Repair.

More machinery rusts out than
wears out. More machinery is thrown
away on account of a few parts giving
out than because Of the wearing out
of the entire machine. Who pays the
bill? Who keeps the many large ma
chinery concerns in business? The
farmer.
When other lines of business are
slack or dead, there is practically no
decrease in the manufacture of farm
machinery, because the farmer is
steady buyer and always in the field
for another machine or for some new
type of farm machinery.
How waste may be stopped: 1. BY
more careful selection. 2. BY buying
from reliable dealers and manufacture
ers. 8. By keeping machinery in re-
pair. A. By sheltering machinery when
not in use.

his earnings at least $3.50. This is
practically clear gain since testing is
done during late winter or early spring
when the time would otherwise be lost.
Seed corn testing is comparatively
easy. The ears that have been pre-
viously selected for seed are labeled
sto correspond to the spaces occupied
by the grains from those ears in the
germinator. If any of the samples of
grain show poor termination, the ear
from which they came can be found
from the label on the space the grains
occupy, and can be eliminated.
One of the simplest testers is the
sand box or SawduSt. 1t consists of a
box about inches deep and 80 inches
square, with about two inches of sand
or sawdust in the bottom to hold the
moisture or to keep water from stand
ing around the corn. A piece of old
sheeting or other cloth that will alb
sorb moisture, but will not allow it to
stand on the surface, should be
stretched over the surface and marked
off into Pinch squares. Put six ker-
nels from various portions of the mid
die of each ear to be tested into one
of these squares and give the ears and
squares corresponding labels. Cover
the box to prevent drying and keep it
at room tenl0erature-about 20 degrees
Fahrenheit-for six days, then find the
ears from which kernels failed to ger
inmate, throw them into the feed box
and retain those that showed good
strong test.
Figures, based on the acreage and
yields in Missouri during the last eight
years, indicate that the losses incident
to neglect of seed corn testing will
amount to about 100000 this year.
That amount is worth saving.

TO ERADICATE QUACK GRASS
Rye and Vetch Recommended by Wis
consin Station-can Be Used for
Green Manure or Hay.

Experiments at the Wisconsin sta
tion show the following to be a sue
cessful treatment for Quack grass
where the acreage is too large for sum
mer following: II
After the grain is harvested plow
and thoroughly prepare the seedbed,
then SOW rye and vetch at the rate
of two bushels of the former and &c
to 80 pounds of the latter to the acre
Both the rye and vetch are quick tc
sprout and will come up before the
quack grass gets chance to recover
Winter vetch makes an abundant fall
growth and covers the ground like a
carpet. In the spring both the rye and
vetch will resume growth at rapid
rate, until at corn planting time these
crops will be from two to three feet
high. Whereupon the rye and vetch
can be turned under for green manure
or cut for hay, and the land planted
to cultivated crop at once, with slight
chances Of quack grass making an ap-
pearance. +
Like clover and alfalfa, vetch is a
legume and as such is valuable as a
soil improver by means of the nitro.
gen it takes from the air and restores
to the soil through it's roots. Hence
the vetch-rye treatment for Quack
grass can be recommended as doubly

INTERESTING CITY OF PERSIA
Yezd Probably the Most Up-toDate
Place That Is Under the Rule
Of the Shah.

Yezd is quite the most progressive
and up-to-date city of Persia. 1t Is
not much of goal for the traveller
who seeks the exotic, the flavor Of the
Orient or the atmosphere of Harun al
Rashid's days, but 1t is interesting as
an example Of the possibilities and
limitations Of the modern Persian, and
withal full enough of foreign flavor
to satisfy the most exacting visitor.
In point of location Yezd can boast
few natural advantages. The city lies
In a somewhat barren plain, where
crops can only be coaxed to grow by
the expenditure of much care and the
judicious application of the water that
is only obtained with difficulty. The
water problem Is, IN fact, the worst
that Yezd has to deal with, for there
are no streams with dependable flow,
and water even for drinking must be
drawn from the melting SHOWS of the
. mountains by artificial canals called
kanats. In spite of this, the enter
prise of the natives has made Yezd
quite producing center and great
point for trade.

Backache

In spite Of the lest care one takes
Of oneself, any part of the human machine
is liable to become out of order. The
most important organs are the stomach,
heart and kidneys.
The kidneys are the scavengers and they
work day and night in separating the
poisons from the blood. Their signals of
distress are easily recognized and in
Clude such symptoms as backache, de-
pressions, drowsiness, irritability, head
aches, dizziness, rheumatic twinges,
dropsy, gout.
"The very best way to restore the
kidneys to their normal state of health"
says DR.. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y, "is to
drink plenty of pure water and obtain
from your favorite pharmacy a small
amount of Anuric, which is dispensed by
almost every druggist" Anuric is mex
pensive and should be taken before meals.
You will find Anuric more potent than
lithia, dissolves uric acid as water does
sugar.

WOOD LOT VERY CONVENIENT
Important Feature of Agriculture and
Worthy Of More Attention From
All Farmers.

Every farm should have a small
wood lot. Forestry on the farm is to.
day an important feature of agricuL
ture and ought to receive considerate
attention from farmers. A wood Iot
is very convenient to have, not only as
a source of fuel in times of scarce anj
high-priced coal, but to furnish fence
posts and timber for various uses and
to add beauty to the landscape and
premises, and afford shade, shelter anG
comfort to large extent for all che
occupants Of the farm.

Profit in Hiah Wages.

Wherever rubber grows, there In
lquity flourishes. Tropical fruits are
made cheap because human life where
they grow is cheap. The spirit OF hui
manity is just beginning to creep into
the relations between those who have
much and those who have little. But
a rare discovery has been made.
Strange as it may seem, it has been
proved by experiment that it pays to
be reckless of expense when service
Is sought and rendered. That which
has come to pass in the higher ranges
of employment, where salaries have
been increased tenfold and even more,
is happening all along the line where
labor and capital meet. Five dollars
paid in wages to one competent man
brings larger return than $5 paid to
five incompetent men and women; and
the larger wage brings the greater fit
ness for the work. Better wages stir
ambition and cause the horizon to ex-

MADE PROPOSAL BY PROXY
His Task Was Similar to John AIden's,
but Fortunately It Had Diff
ferent Result.

One day while Rev. J. Hines, we'll
known retired Canadian missionary,
was residing near Sandy lake an In
dian came to him and after much pre-
hminary conversation said: swell
1t is about six months since my wife
died, and just before she left me she
said in the presence of witnesses that
if / remained single until the follow
ing spring was to get married again,
and, as the leaves are already big on
the trees, have come to see you and
hear what you have to say about it."
When I told him that there was no
law to prohibit his taking another wife
so soon, he went on, 81 want you to
select a wife for me-"
why" said, 81 should not care to
undertake such responsibility, for, if
named woman and you married her
and afterward she did not please you
you would be most likely to blame me
for your unhappiness."
g"No, I should not" he said.
Then said, 'In the first place I do
not know whether you want to marry
an old or young woman, and must
have something to guide me in making
a selection"
SWELL" he said, "I do not want to
be troubled with an old woman, and /
do not suppose young woman would

woman about my own age"

"Ah!" he said. II knew you were
guided by the great spirit in all you
undertake. That is the very woman
have been thinking about, and how
could you have known this unless the
great spirit had guided your judg-
ment?'
"Well," I replied, II am glad that
you look at it in that way; now you
had better go and propose to her."
ss'No," said he; -'I cannot do that. If
I knew she would say yes should
go; but she might say no. and In
dians never like to have their petitions
rejected when they go on business of
that nature" ~
Then asked him what he intended
to do. "Why, sir" he said, II want
you to propose for mel"
Well, I was in fix; but having
yielded so far to his request, I felt
bound in some way to go on to the
end. So, having obtained my wife's
permission, I called on the widow at
my earliest convenience and explained
matters to her, taking great pains to
make her understand I was proposing
for the other fellow and not for my
self. My mission was successful, and
in due course they were lawfully mar
ried, and the union proved happy

JEST ALL SEED CORN.
field Per Acre Can Be Greatly
Increased Thereby.
Work Can Be Done in Late Winter or
Early Spring When Time Other
wise Would Be Lost-SimpIe
Tester Described.

Mr.. Average Farmer, is your time
worth 81 an hour? That sounds like
get-rich-quick scheme, doesn't it? Well
it isn't. J. G. Hackleman of the Mis-
souri, college of agriculture figures that
you can make that much testing seed
corn. The average Missouri farmer
raises about twenty-six acres of corn
each year. He fails to test his seed
corn whereby he loses $1.50 (this is a
conservative estimate) an acre.
Mr.. Hackleman says that about ten
hours of actual labor would be required
to test the seed for the 26 acres. BY
such testing the yield can be increased
at least $1.50 worth. Hence the
time required to test the seed is worth
about $40, or about 81 an hour. The
more corn a farmer grows the more
money he can make By the test. The
man who raises 100 acres can increase
