PRACTICAL EXPERIENCE
WITH FARM TRACTORS
Related At Recent Cecil Coun-
ty Meeting

At meeting of the Cecil Farm
ers' Club held last week at Rising
Sun, Nd, interesting reports Of
personal experiences with farm
tractors were given by farmers
present. Edward Balderston re-
ported that they had found the
1920 tractor purchased in the
early summer, fully equal to the
claims made for it, doing excellent
and rapid work in all. kinds of
blowing and narrowing. Thirty
five acres of wheat ground was
plowed with the tractor this fall,
twenty-five of which was sweet
corn ground, the crop had been
pulled for the cannery,-and the
stalks were turned under thor
oughly with double disc harrow
and seeded in good order, con-
sidering the very wet season at the
time of seeding. The tractor was
also used for filling the 200 ton
silo, with abundant power. 1t
scraped roads, plowed and worked
an eight acre orchard with better
satisfaction than with teams; ran
the binder; the hay loader; plow-
ed and cultivated some sixty acres
during the summer,-in fact was
on the job wherever needed, and
not a dollars worth of repairs dur
ing the season.
Mr.. Balderson stated, however,
that he would not advise the pur-
chase of a tractor, however, un-
less the purchaser could give it
his personal attention or could
give the management to one whom
he knew was thoroughly familiar
and interested with this class of
machinery.
Mr.. Knobe, who succeeds D. H
Kaufman as county agent, told OF
his experiences with two 1886 hip
tractors, which averaged IA acres
in 10 hours. The Grand-Detoul
plow was used,-four bottom
and we could automatically raise
one or all of the bottoms at time
making it very convenient in pass
ing distractions.

GOOD HOME FOR COWS
They Should Be as Comfortable as
Humans Like To Be.

Manhattan, Kan, April 9.-The
dairy COW should be provided with as
comfortable a home as human be-
ing, according to L. H. Fairchild. fell
low in dairy husbandry in the Kansas
State Agricultural college. This
should be done not only out of humane
regard for the COW but because of flu
ture financial returns.
The best floor material for dairy
barn is cement, as it is the easiest to
keep clean and the most dura BILE. The
cement should be covered with a re-
movable wooden mat or with two inch
planks. If COWS lie on the cold floor
udder troubles may result
A good stall should insure cleanli-
ness and comfort. Homemade stalls
can be built at little expense that will
fill the requirements. The partitions
between the stalls, the hay racks, and
the managers may be made of wood or
metal piping. The wood is preferable
because of the expense of the piping.
The partitions should slope from the
front to the back of the stall and
should be high enough at the back to
prevent a cow that is standing from
stepping on one that is lying down
The stalls should be wide enough to
give ample room for the mixer.

MOBILIZE THE BOYS
Seventy Thousand to Increase Crop

Kansas should mobilize her 10000

according to a statement issued by j.
c. Mohler, secretary of the state board
of agriculture. He declares conditions
demand that the young generation
aid in increasing the states crop yield
and relieve conditions made doubly
serious in view of war conditions.
Mohler would mobilize the Kansas
boys into an army to increase crop

lions, Secretary Mohler declares, and
the demand for young men on the
farm is great. Thru the organization
of Kansas youths for farm work the
states grain yield would be increased
and possible serious food conditions
averted
Mohler said in part:
THE source and foundation of ma
tional strength lie in a country'S agrl-
culture. This the belligerent Euro
pean nations sternly realize. To make
their fighting forces efficient has re-
quired agricultural organization of the
highest order. Food is as important
as munitions. The millions withdrawn
from productive pursuits, now under
arms, consume food perhaps on a
larger scale than formerly. This drain
upon the worlds supplies of food IS
felt.

trained in the art CT agriculture, seems

RHEUMATISM PAIN

The exact cause of rheumatism is I'M
known, though 1t is rally believed to be
due to excess of uric acid in the blood.
1t may be also said with equal truth that no
remedy has been found which is SPECIFIC
in all cases. In fact the literature of rheu-
matism shows that there are but few drugs
which have not been given trial. In the
hands of one observer we find that a certain
drug has been used with the utmost salts
faction; others have found the same remedy
to be great disappointment. All physi-
clans however agree that every method of
treatment is aided by the administration of
some remedy to relieve the pain and quiet
the nervous system and DR.. W. 8. Schultze
expresses the opinion of thousands of prac-
titioners when he says that anti-kamnia
tablets should be given preference over all
other remedies for the relief of the pain in
all forms of rheumatism. These tablets can
be purchased in any quantity They are
also unsurpassed for headaches, neuralgias
and all pain. Ask for AK Tablets.
