In Getting Farm Machinery Ready for
Work Look Carefully to Lubrica-

In getting the machinery ready for

the way he states 1t. Especially on
new machinery and the farm tractor
does the use of oil become important
Make sure that all oil holes, well,
pumps, grease cups and bearings are
thoroughly cleaned of dirt, grit, paint
and foreign matter before the holes
are filled, so that waste matter cam
not be carried into the bearings. Clean
wool or cotton placed in cups will
keep out sand ana grit. 1t is good
practice TO use a mixture of equal

HARMFUL C.lINCH BUG
Evident That Pest Is Threatening
Next Years Crop.
One Plan of Eradication Is TO Burn
Over Fields, Woods and Other Fa-
vorable Winter Quarters
Heat Will Kill Many.

(By L. HASEMAN, Missouri Agricultural
Experiment Station.)
Judging from the numerous COM
plants being received by the Missouri
agricultural experiment station, it
seems evident that the chinch bug is
threatening next years crops. Over
the state generally the chinch bugs
day was brought to close by the
heavy rains of 1915, but as usual. there
were enough ''for seed this last
spring, and with the unusually dry
summer just passed these increased
abundantly.
They seem to be most abundant in
the central part OF the state. Through
out most Of the corn and wheat belts
Of the state there are probably enough
bugs to cause severe outbreaks next
year, if weather conditions should be
especially favorable for them. A
dry fall, mild winter, with but little
snow and rain, followed by a dry
spring and summer are the conditions
which will favor the pest. The chinch
bug is abundant now, due to the favor
able summer just passed, but with
plenty of rainfall and snow during the
fall, winter, and spring, the chances
will be decidedly against outbreaks
next summer.
Since it is not possible to know what
the fall, winter, and spring may have
in store in the way of favorable or
unfavOrable weather, every farmer
should do everything possible to re-
duce the chance of chinch-bug in
juries next summer by getting rid of
favorable winter quarters. They winter
in dry, protected places, such as mead
ows, pastures, and waste lands, in
woods, neglected fence rows, and SIM
liar places Very few winter in corn
fields or in wheat fields. After killing
frosts have come, select a dry day
when there is not too much wind and
burn over fields, woods, and other ia
vorable winter quarters. The heat
will kill many of the bugs and expose
the rest to the winter and TO natural
enemies. This pest can be fought sue
cessfully at only two times during the
year, namely: while clustered in win
ter quarters, and while migrating from
wheat to corn in the summer. Now is
the time to get ready to fight the pest
while in. winter quarters and prevent
it from proving destructive next year.
A recurrence of this pest like the out
breaks of 1912, 1913, and 1914, which
damaged Missouri crops at least $5,-

HADN'T BORED GLADSTONE
joyed Himself While "Heavy
Recitation Was Rendered.

Sir Charles Wyndham, the actor, was
once asked to explicit a certain reciter
and gave an ''at home" for the pur-
pose, at which Gladstone was present.
1t was a terribly hot afternoon, and
the reciter announced that he would
give Elaine" by Lord Tennyson.
After the recital Sir Charles went
to Gladstone and said I'm afraid
you've had trying time with all this
heat?"
Not at all" was the reply. Il have
had a charming afternoon. / thank
you for asking me, and now as l am
quite refreshed 1 can run back to the
house"
Sir Charles was elated, for the rath-
er heavy Elaine" had been a success
after all. He rushed to the stage,
where he found his guests waiting for
him and for tea.
what have we done to YOU" they
cried, ito give us Elaine on a day like
this? Surely there was something
lighted to choose"
Lighter ~ echoed Sir Charles.
That's the trouble with you society

them and markets them when they
are from ID to 20 months old, will
make money.
At that age the baby beef will weigh
from 500 to LOO pounds. The carcass
will be the most economical for the
market TO handle and it's production
will insure profit for the farmer. Baby
beeves will gain about as rapidly in
the feed lot as older cattle, and the
cost of gain will be less, as much as
3 or 4 cents pound. If the market
is not just right when the baby beef
is ready, it may be held and fed until
the market is right and it will keep on
gaining and gaining economically.
There are a number of notable sue
cesses with baby beef production.

which Mr.. Wanamaker did that after

volunteered TO show the oriental gen.

Before departing from the big gran

CONCRETE KEEPS AWAY RATS
Rodents Not Only Steal Grain, but FIRE.
quently Acquire Taste for Chicks
and Eggs.

Rats are among the worst pests
about the poultry house. They not
only steal large amount of grain,
but frequently develop a taste for
young chicks and eggs which seems
TO be Unsuitable. A well-made con-
crete floor and foundation makes an
almost perfect protection against rats.
A concrete floor itself is not sufficient,
for the rats may burrow under it and
thus find perfectly protected breed
ing place.
A concrete foundation for poultry
houses need not be heavy or expen-
sive, if properly made. A trench may
be dug below the frost line and forms
set up six inches apart. A mixture Of
one part portland cement, three parts
sand and six parts gravel will prove
plenty strong enough for this pur-
pose.
After it is well set forms can be
removed, the floor leveled up and COW
cred with concrete three inches deep,
mixed in the same proportions. The
floor can be made smooth and level by
a straight edge board. Frequently a
finishing coat Of three-quarters of an
inch is put on of a richer mixture and
troweled to smooth finish. Beginning
the day after the floor is laid it should
be sprinkled two or three times daily
for week so as to prevent the con-
crete from drying out too rapidly and
cracking.
