RUST WEARS OUT MACHINERY
Cost Of Farm implements Can Be Re-
duced by Making Every Tool
Last Much Longer.

The price of farm machinery has
been advancing for some time. The
cost can be reduced by making every
machine last longer. A large proper
ton of farm machinery wears out too
Don because it is not given proper
care and attention. More machinery
is worn away every year by rust and
weather than by service. The life OF
any machine may be heightened by
protection from weather, good lubr1ca-
ton, and prompt attention to repairs.
Farm machinery frequently is left
standing In the field throughout the
winter. Housing not only protects the
implements from rust but leaves them
In good condition for 8 the follow
ing season.

TO PREVENT N0xI0Us PESTS
for Destroying Weed Seeds in
6arnyard Manure.

Clemson College Bulletin.)
Barnyard manure may become badly
infested with weed seeds on account
Of hay which contains various kinds
Of seed being fed to live stock. Too
often the land is infested with nox-
ious weeds from this source.
This danger may be overcome, says
the agricultural extension division Of
Clemson college, by keeping manure in
piles 6 to 10 feet high from four to six
weeks. The heat and fermentation
produced In such piles has been found
to kill practically all the weed seed
with the exception Of a few on the sur
face Of the pile. These can also be
destroyed by putting the surface ma
nure under the bottom Of q new pile.
BY this method the farmer may safely
use the from livery stables or
such other places.
