'HORSELESS" CARRIAGE
IS CENTURIES old
Claim 10 Made That Persian Work
men Made One Dating Back IS
Far az Year 1900
According TO Ernest saul. a IRE

According 10 Ernest s&ut. q French
Journalist, who has made a study Of
the history of the automobile, more
than six centuries ago a man en-
deayored to build a ''horseless car
rage" As early as the thirteenth
century a Partisan carriag0nlaker
worked upon 1t, and while not sue
cessful his ideas were seized upon
by noted scientists Of the day and
much study was devoted to q fruit
less search into the mechanical arts
for machinery that would drive q We
hicle by a series OF springs and cords
wound up like the works OF q clock.
In 1859 a French mechanic, Joseph
Cugnot, succeeded in propelling by
steam a small wooden car of his own
design and developed it to a point
where ii drew a piece Of artillery a
mile in 20 minutes. This car burned
wood and was able to carry enough
fuel to keep 1t in motion for more
than an hour The unwieldy machine
wrecked itself, however, and Cugnot
lost heart in his work. A few years
ago France erected a statue to him
as the investor of the horseless We
hicle.
After the failure Of numerous ex-
periments in England and France
shortly after the appearance Of Cug-
not's invention, the horseless vehicle
appeared to have been q perpetual
motion proposition until 1880, when
new discoveries in steam machinery
directed renewed attention to IL.
From 1880 to 1880 much progress
was made and some promising results
were obtained. The invention of the
four-cycle gasoline engine by the
Frenchmanp Lenoir, paved the way for
the successful automobile.-New York
Post.

ton to work early in March. As a
rule wheat seeded early In March
under such conditions does not do
well, as we generally have a period
Of very unfavorable weather in the
latter part of March or early in
April. When good weather condi-
tions come after the 25th Of March
however, the soil soon becomes dry
and warm and the wheat should then
be seeded as promptly as possible
as the early seeded wheat will us
ually yield from ten TO fifty per cent
more than late sown wheat. II pos
sible have all the wheat planted be-
fore the 25th Of April. IL the season
should be very late wheat might be
planted as late as the 10th of May but
the chances Of this late wheat pro-
ducing a crop are always much less
than the early sown grain.-W. r.

TREAT sEED FOR SMUT.

smut causes considerable loss ir
grain crops. BY treating the seed
grain with formaldehyde most smuts
are killed. Use one pound of 80 Per
cent formaldehyds to 30 gallons OF
water and leave the seed in 1t for 10
minutes. The seed can be dipped
into it In sacks or baskets, or a smut
machine can be used. The Tornado
hyde solution can also be eprinkled
on the grain while IL is being shovel
ed, but great care must be used 70
make sure all the seed Is treated
Professor Bolley found in his trials
at the N. D. Exp, Station that the
treatment for smut increased the
Yield Of wheat two bushels per acre
even when no smut was present
This smut treatment kills the smut
on wheat, oats and barley that cause
the most damage. The loose smut
on wheat and barley can be killed by
soaking the seed seven TO ten hours
in cold water and after draining for
an hour lmmerse 10 minutes in water

When charging terminals are not

following method may be used to de-

FARM coNVENlENcEs
IN THE HOME

The modern conveniences can to-
day be had in the country and they
do much to make the home more
pleasant as we'll as more sanitary. A
water system for instance that
makes 1t possible to have water by
merely turning faucet, cuts out a
lot of hard work and II also results
in more water being used. The water
supply makes possible the bathroom
and indoor toilet. A furnace keeps
the whole house warm and all the
muss is kept in the basement. Then
again any kind Of fuel can be burned
in most furnaces. The electric light
is another great convenience but 1t
does not save as much work and add
so much to health as the water and
furnace. One sick spell may cost
enough for installing 4 water system
or furnace. One funeral will GER
tainly cost as much.
Man has taken much Of the dTudE-
cry out Of farm work by using labor
saving machines and the modern
conveniences now available for the
farm home viii take much of the
drudgery out of woman's work as
we'll as add much to the health and
comfort Of all members Of the fam
ily.-Agr Ext. Dept. n, D. Agri. col

BOYS AND GIRLS AND
FARMING

Farming is fully az much a. boys
and girls problem a. II L. a problem
Of production. IL the boys and girls
have not been interested in the
farm they will likely leave. That
means the end Of that farm home in
10 or 20 years and q tenant will like
ly follow on the farm, and the one
who should be on IL will likely be
in town working for wages. That
farm home has in a measure been D
failure. Give the boys and girls
on the farm recreation; a social
center is one solution. Give them q
good consolidated school with its
many advantages and give the boy
or girl a chance to learn that the
farm produces things Of value to
them by letting them have pig or
a calf or acre to care for as their own
and to market as their own and then
have the proceeds 10 spend az they
choose. This develops the owner
ship idea and the spirit Of indepepd-
ence. When the boy or girl is given
nothing to raise and market as their
own, the hired man or dependent at
titude is too often developed-W. G.

HOME GARDENS
CUT STORE BILLS
president Georgia Chamber OF Com
merce Shows How Millions Were
Saved Last Year

Atlanta, Georgia.-(SpeciaI.)- .)-"More
money was saved in 1917 through the
medium of the home garden than ever
before, the United States Department
OF Agriculture estimating that there
were fully one million new gardens
made last year." says II. G.. Hastings,
president Of the Southeastern Fair and
the Georgia Chamber of Commerce,
IN an interview reviewing the 1917
farming operations in the South.
thousands upon thousands of our
people In the South,' said Mr.. Hast
lngs, for the first time in their lives
learned to appreciate the money saw
ing power of the home garden, proper
ly planned, prepared for, planted and
kept planted during the entire sea-
son."
up to the present it has been very
hard to get our people to consider the
home garden seriously as a real sub
stantial factor in food production with
the consequent saving Of money that
went for food supplies at the store.
Unless we are much mistaken the
home garden will from now on be
taken as seriously as any other part
of the farm work.
"A quarter to half acre devoted
20 variety or vegetables liked by the
family can be kept going nearly the
whole year in the South and give it's
owner as much as the product of two
or three acres of cotton, even at pres
ent prices, will buy at the store. The
right kind OF a garden means an
abundance of healthful food during
spring, summer and fall and an abund.
ahce either canned or dried for win
ter use"
Let no one be fooled by the lies
spread abroad that the Government
Is gong to seize home canned goods
on closet shelves in the farm or
nome These lies are started by Ger
man agents for the express purpose of
encouraging our people in increased
1000 production and saving. Few can
go 10 the firing line, but all can Join

we have never seen a permanent
~ prosperous farm section either in
me united States or in foreign coun-
trles that was not diversified sec
uon, and in every diversified section
the nome garden has an honored and
valued place. The home garden is ~
