visit the Volcano. Upon their return
most of them will go back with the

That precautiOn' Is urged by the

-ure on all farmers who contemplate
sowing the high-priced seed of high
price food this fall. To plant seed
IN poorly prepared land not only
wastes the seed that does not germin-

may mean the loss of an entire invest
ment if a paying stand Is not obtained.
Right Condition Of Bed.
A seed bed for wheat must be firm,
moist. and well compacted beneath
with a mellow, finely divided upper
three inches Of soil, the specialists
advise. If wheat is grOwnsin rotation
with oats or after wheat, the stubble
should be plowed to depth Of at least
seven inches Immediately after har-
vesting the preceding crop Of grain.
The ground should be narrowed within
a few hours after blowing and cultiva-
ton with harrow, disk, drag. or roller
should be given as necessary there
after until planting time. These OPP
eratiOns are necessary to kill weeds,
to settle and make firm the subsoil,
and to maintain a soil mulch on the
surface. The earlier the preparation
of a seed bed for wheat Is started
the better the condition of the soil
will be at planting time. Late blowing
does not allow time for thorough prep
aratiOn.

MOST OUT OF Tires
Methods to Employ to Secure De-
sirabIe Increase in
Mileage.
AIR PRESSURE IS IMPORTANT
Examine Carefully for Small Cuts and
Remove Nails or Other Sharp
Substances That May Have
Been Picked Up.

When anyone purchases an auto
anteed one, made by reliable manu-
facturer-a certain definite number of
miles. Therefore any mileage he may
obtain over that guaranteed by the
maker, is just that much saving to
him, which can be computed in dollars
and cents. To illustrate: If his tires
cost $3.50 each and are guaranteed
for $500 miles, his mileage cost per
tire would be one-half cent for each
mile the tire travelled; but supposing
he obtains an extra 1900 miles or a
total of 5000; then he could reckon
on clear saving of $3.50. 1t is
therefore the object Of this article to
show the car owner methods of caring
for his tires so that he can expect to
get this very desirable increase in
mileage, writes Ed Henry of Luzerne
county, Pa, in Ohio Farmer.
Proper Air Pressure.
1t Is important that the air pressure
should be kept up to that recon-
mended by the manufacturer. For
this purpose an engine-driven pump of
some kind should be installed, as this
removes any desire to shirk what is
always a laborious task. Next, the
tires should often be inspected for
small cuts. Any nails or other sharp
substances they may have picked up
should be removed. This inspection
and repair need not be done SO fire.
quently that it becomes burden, for
a tire that cuts easily is nuisance
and there are number on the market
that do not show this defect in their
tread. All cuts should be repaired i'm
mediately. For the smaller ones, any
Of the numerous good tire putties. or
"doughs," now on the market are rec
commended: but for the larger cuts a
small vulcanizer should be used. Then,
If the tire should develop any real de-
feet and require replacement, the in
spector could readily see that it had
received intelligent care, with the re-
suit that satisfactory, often liberal,
adjustment Is usually quickly made.
Affords Increased Mileage.
In obtaining increased mileage, one
of the greatest helps is good tire
reliner. These are made of fabric
much in the same manner and of the
same material as the carcass or body
Of the tire. They are placed inside
the tire to strengthen it after its fabric
has become weakened by use and age,
but they must not be put into a new
heating, which is detrimental to both
tire and inner tube. The best time to
use a leliner is after the tire has run
or nearly run its guaranteed mileage ;
then it is generally possible to obtain

power and clOgging. The cutter bar

knives and bar properly adjusted to

to be needed for the corn binder they
should be on hand. (
Authorities agree that the nearer
ripe the corn Is, II IL contains enough
water to make good silage. the sweeter
the silage will be and consequently the
more palatable; also the greater the
amount of digestible nutrient II will
contain. Roughly speaking. majority
Of the ears should be denied. When
large quantities are to be cut It IL
necessary to begin before the corn IN
ut its best, otherwise the last cot
will be too ripe.
Shortcut silage means greater silO
capacity, less air space, and II the corn
Is little dry. less likelihood Of spoil
ing. Short cutting, also. means re
duced capacity of the machine and
more power. If the stalks are coarse
and woody the waste is s.eater In long
cut silage. In fine stalked corn that
is very green there is less difference
between the long and short cut.
When corn is very dry from being
overripe or frozen, 1t is often neces-
sary to apply water to the silage In
order to make it keep. Enough water
should be applied to molsten thorough
ly the whole mass. There Is little
danger Of applying too much water.
Roughly speaking 1t takes one and
one-half to two horsepower gas for
every ton per hour Of green corn cut
one-half inch in length and blown 30
feet high. From this 1t will be seen
that to cut ten tons per hour one-haff

or 20 horse power gas engine. II the

water already in the soil for use by
the wheat plants. The firm seed bee
under the mulch thus made enables
the young plants to make use of the

soil and the subsOil. Sufficient mois-
ture is thus assured for the germim-
ton of the seed and for the early fall

pOrtant consideration. Plant food Is
also likely to be more abundant in the
soil when such methods are employed.
If the Importance of thorough tillagr
were more generally recognized and
proper methods of seed-bed prepare
ton were more widely employed
throughout the so-called humid areas.
there would he less frequent losses
from drought and better wheat crops
would result, the department special
lists declare. In this area the mistake
is often made of thinking there will
always be moisture enough present
for maximum crop growth, with the
result that short crops often are OBJ
tanned where more attention to mois-
ture conservation would have assured
good yields. ..
