CARE FOR FARM IMPLEMENTS
Keeo Bolts on Binders Tight by Going
Over Machine Often-HaVe Ac-
cessories Handy.
(By H. F. KIDDER. Louisiana Expert.

(Bv H. F. KIDDER, Louisiana Expert.
ment Station.)
The life of the average farm nipple
ment is too short. Grain binders last
only four or five years on the average,
while rice binders will perform their
functions just one or two years. Most
everyone has seen binders fifteen
years old still doing good work. Why2
Simply because care has been given
them. All bolts kept frightened by
going over the machine twice day or
even more frequently is an excellent
thing. Further, the operator must be
able to run his machine and keep q
sharp lookout for loose parts. Jolting
will, in time, loosen nuts unless they
are set.
Robbing one implement for another
Is bad practice. Farm laborers Will
invariably do this unless strict orders
have been given to the contrary. A

sity. BY giving attention even to the
simplest Of machines, its life will be
prolonged, and the longer one can use

FFrom the United States Department OF
Agriculture)
The imperative need for an aDund-
ant food supply this year demands an
Increase in pork production. All the
agricultural authorities unite in de-
cJariug that the livestock holdings OF
farmers already are too low anu that
they must not be reduced further IN
order to obtain greater yields OF staple
crDps. Fortunately this Is not neces-
sary. Hog raising can be extended IN
many sections Of the country where
if is now Of little Importance, ana the
total supply of human food Increased
accordingly.
At the present time a large part or
our pork comes from the few states
in the corn belt, where it is the com
mon belief that hog raiSers possess adj
vantagcS that farmers in other sec
.ttoaS lack. This, however, IS not alto

years, was splf-willcd and hot tenn

erncsSeS had come and gone in various
states Of dissatisfaction or disgust, SO
when the blue-eyed, SOft-spoken little
Russian applied for the position Mrs.
Warren caught at her as q drowning
man does at Il straw.
Sophie Torsky had gentle, well-bred
manners, and her French was ire
proachable, and Mrs. Warren reasoned
that if the children got only a smat-
tering of these two desirable accom-
plichments it was better than state
of complete ignorance.

something like a judicious effort IN
that direction was very likely to pro-
duce good results.
"She's rather pretty, too" went on
Mrs. Warren. "She has the lovellest

you'll see her at dinner. And warn
you, John, don't you dare to fall In

Perhaps If Mrs. Warren had not
been so anxious about it, the very
thing she had feared might not have
happened. But she saw by Monday

started for the train, he announced
that he intended to be out again the

GROW GRAIN SORGHUM
One Means of Increasing Food
Supply Needed lust Now.

prepared by the United States Depart

(Prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agricultural
Grain sorghums, including kafir,
milo and feterita, furnish one of the
best opportunities In the dryer sec
tons of the Southwest for increasing
the production of food in America this
year. Although the grains from these
crops have not come into general use
for food purposes, they have consider
able food value and may be made into
palatable dishes when ground in mills
or at home. However, these grains
have come into wide use for feeding
livestock, and it Is in this way that
they probably will be most useful this
year. Their increased use as feeds
would release for use as human food
large quantities Of the more common
grains now fed to animals.
Because the section in which grain
sOrghums may be grown to best advan-
tage is also the most important cattle
raising section In the country, farm
, ers growing the sorghums can combine
! profitably the growing Of these grains
and the feeding Of live stock. Most
j.. of the cattle now raised in the grain
sorghum growing country are shipped
to the corn belt for fattening on corn.
The sorghum grains which, because
of their relative newness, are more
difficult TO market than corn. therefore
are left largely unused in the regions
of production and must be held until
the supplies Of corn have been USED
ND In large part, when the demand TOT
feed grains draws them into the mar
ket. If the growers of grain sorghums
will plan to carry more cattle this sea-
Son and to fatten them on homegrown
grain instead Of shipping them to the
rorn belt to be finished, no difhculty
will be experienced In marketing the
SORGHUM grains. A ready market Tor

The sorghum grains make good STOCK
feed. having about 90 per cent the reed
ing value of corn. When these grains
can be produced or bought for less

Is more profitable to feed them than &c

PROGRESS OF Velvet BEANS
Crop Makes Rapid Strides Once They
Begin to Make Vines-Harvest
Very Late In Season.

(By w. r. DODSON. Louisiana Expert
ment Station.)
Velvet beans should not, as q rule,
be planted before the middle Of June.
They are slow in starting to grow, but
make rapid progress once they begin
to make vines. They are generally
planted In rows wider than other
legumes; five to six-foot rows give
satisfactory results. with the beans
two feet apart in the row.
Velvet beans should be harvested as
late In the season as will permit OF
the completion Of the harvest before
frost. The vines continue to grow
until frost kills them. If they are not
harvested before they are frosted, then
it is better to leave them until they
are thoroughly killed and dried in the
field and pasture them.

WATER SUPPLY FOR HORSES
Working Animals Should Have OPP
portunlty OF Drinking at Least
Five Times During Day.

Three times a day is not enough to
water live stock. They should have.
especially in hot weather. an oppor-
tunity Of drinking at least five times
daily-before each meal, and at In
tervals of 21a to three hours apart
between meals.
The animal that works In hot
weather on FIVE or six hour stretch
without water suffers intensely from
thirst. Frequent watering prevents
water collie and other Ill effects.
Never allow the animal to drink
when cery hot. Always force him
under such conditions to drink a ue
tie at a time until satisfied.
