NEED BLACK LOCUST WOOD

suitable for the manufacture Of snip tree
Farmers who have good locust timber,
nails. will do well to communicate with
the purchasing division Of the Emer-
gency Fleet Corporation, which an
uounces it viii give prompt attention to
inquiries from those wishing to be put
in touch with treenail manufacturers.
The shipbuilding program Of the gov
ernment has enormously increased the
demand for treenails, or 'trunnels,
which are used In wooden ships much as
bowels were used in old-fash!oned frame
construction work. They are huge
wooden nails from two to four feet long,
which fasten together the planking or
outer shell Of the hull, the frames or
skeleton, and the ceiling. or inner shell.
Most Of the treenails used in this coun-
try are made of black locust, or yellow
locust. as the tree is often called. They
must be made Of stratght-grained wood
combines density, hardness, strength and
durability, which does not shrink much
and will not split readily; and locust is
preeminently the wood that fills the bill
Black locust does not grow in great
stands. but must be picked up in rela-
lively small quantities. so that the ship
yard demand opens the door to the mar
ketlng by farmers Of wood-lot timber
Of this species. BY doing so they may
contribute 10 the wartime needs Of the
country and thus help down the Hun
and at the same time convert into ready
money some Of the value that their
growing timber has accumulated. For
est grown locust Of a good grade is the
most desirable from every standpoint
although some manufacturers buy the
field grown II found in sufficient size and
quantity to warrant handling.

cient growth 81 that heifers may profit
ably be bred to freshen at two years
of age. 1t is seldom desirable for a
heifer to freshen at an earlier age.
In deciding upon the time to breed,
the size and development should be
given greater consideration than the
age, since it is important that the heif-
er have good growth by the time she
freshens. However, If allowed to be-
come too mature before breeding, es-
pecially in the case of animals that
are heavily fed, there is sometimes diff
ficulty in getting the heifers in calf.
It Is undesirable to have cows fresh
en- during the latter part of the sum
mer, because their milk production
will be seriously hindered by hot
weather, flies, and dried-up pastures.
Rather than have heifers freshen dur
ing the summer months, It is advisable
to postpone their breeding so that they
will freshen during the cooler season.

WOMEN SUFFERERS MAY
NEED SWAMP ROOT

Thousands upon thousands of women
have kidney and bladder trouble and

Women's complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the

If the kidneys are not in a healthy
condition, they may cause the other or

toms of kidney trouble.

ADDING VARIETY TO RATION
Feeding Alfalfa Hay Before Cattle
Run on Pasture Is Especially Good
In Avoiding Bloat-

(By r. H. WILLIAMS. Animal Husband
man, Arizona Experiment Station)
Stockmen have proved to their own
satisfaction that 1t pays to have some
alfalfa hay before cattle I'll on alfalfa
pasture. This is especially beneficial
in avoiding bloat and adding variety
to the ration. The animals seem to
get tired of succulent feed and wish
a variety. On this account it is al
ways wise to have a feed rack either
in the lane or in the field where the
animals may receive the dry feed.
Dairy COWS especially will relish a few
bites Of the hay night and morning.
It is a simple matter to keep this hay
in the dry lot adjacent to the barn
where the cows may eat before md
after milking. Better gains will be
made in the young stock and also cows
will yield more milk and do better II

KEEPING AUTO ENGINE WARM
Electric Device, Which Consumes one
Tenth Of kiIowatt an Hour,
Solves Problem.

The problem Of keeping an automo-
bile engine and radiator warm during
the coolest nights, without the neces-
sity of heating the entire garage mas
been solved by an electric engine n
radiator warmer, which Is simply
screwed into any lamp socket In the
garage and placed down in the hood OF
the car between engine and radiator.
The body of the heater contains a
rugged heating element when con
sumes one-tenth of a kilowatt-iess
than one cent an hour-and gives on
inst enough heat to keep the radiator
from freezing and the engine from
causing trouble. The hood Of n car
however, should be blanketed In Sc
we're weather to hold in the heat. n
heating element is IN a oiacs
enameled metal shell, of a shape ana
size not unlike the ordinary dry CELL
and perforated to allow for circulation
of the heated air from within.

CAUSE OF DISEASED UDDERs


Dairymen have occasionally been
puzzled by a bitter taste and rancid
smell in milk. produced under sani-
tary conditions. It has been found
that such conditions can arise from
n COW in the herd with a diseased
udder and a bacterium has been iso-
lated as the immediate cause in the
milk. The bacterium credited as the
disturbing factor is said to belong to
the group lactis aerogenes. On a farm
in Wisconsin they found three cows af-
fected with mastitis to which was
traced the cause of 200 cases of severe
sore throat among the persons using
milk from the herd.

AUTO USED AS POWER PLANT
Small Machinery May Be Operated
Without Altering Car by Use of
Rigging Shown.

An automobile may be utilized to
furnish power for operating small ma
chinery without altering the car in any
way, by the use Of the driving rigging
shown. All that is necessary is to
back the automobile up the slight in
cline, and leave the gears in mesh with
the engine running The tires trans
NIT the power to the 6-inch rollers, and
they, in turn, to a belted drive pulley.
The wooden rollers are 6 feet long.
Each end is fitted with an axle, 1 foot
long, sufficiently heavy to bear the
weight of the automobile used. Two
wooden bearing boxes are built of 8
foot pieces of 2 by A inch hard pine,
bolted together and bored through the
middle, for bearings, where the two

faces come together. Small holes are
also bored down through the top piece
for fabrication. The rollers are assem-.
bled with ring washers against their
ends and the bearing boxes are bolted
together with two braces. The pulley on
the projecting end of the driving axle
is set with a setscrew.
A slanting platform, as shown,
makes it easy to back up the "A on
the rollers. The distance between the
rollers depends on the diameter of the
wheel of the car being used, but for
general purposes a space Of 10 inches
between the two sets of bearings will
give ample room for the average auto
wheel to come well down between the
rollers and insure good traction.-Pop-

LESS TIRES USED IN WINTER
Motorist Does Not Let Out Air During
Extremely Cold Weather and
They Last Longer.

The winter season seems to strength

determination is responsible for a
large percentage of tire expense. Most
motorists think that during the sum-
mer months they should ride their tires
at low pressure to prevent blow-outs.
The decreasing of the pressure does
not decrease the heating of the tire,
but, rather increases it, as the side
walls are subjected to a greater bend
ing strain and friction between the lay
ers Of fabric generates heat. Due to
this excessive fiexing, the fabric cracks
and loosens up to such an extent that
the tire becomes weakened. The crack
ed and chafed fabric ruins h inner
tube. During the winter season the
motorist does not let the air out OF his
tires, as he does In the summer, but
allows his tires to have a greater ana
more constant air pressure; hence, h
percentage of tires consigned to the
scrap heap is much less in winter than
in summer.

Amsterdam, Feb. 16. German
forces are already being concentrated
in Ukraine to attack the Bolsheviki,
according to a Berlin dispatch to the
Tijd, and declarations looking to the
active prosecution of the war against
the Bolsheviki in north Russia also
will be made at Berlin.
Bulgaria has resumed diplomatic re-
lations with Russia, according to a
Sofia telegram published in the Ger
man newspapers.
Count Czernin, the Austro-Hungar-
ian foreign minister, has notified Ber-
lin that Austrian troops must not be
used against Russia to support n
policy which Austria has not approved,
but only for purposes Of self-defense
against m%arauding bands.
The Bolsheviki are making whole
sale arrests of Germans in Russia and
holding them hostages, according to
a Riga dispatch. Three hundred Ger
mans and many pro-German Estho-
mans at Dorpat have been arrested.
The lives of those arrested, as well
as Germans and German supporters
who have not yet been arrested. are
hourly in great danger, adds the dis
patch. as the Bolsheviki threaten
wholesale b%utchery. The Bolsheviki
have officially declared the Baltic mo-
bility outlaws.

there is great excitement at Warsaw,
Cracow and Lemberg as a result Of
the Ukraine treaty. At Cracow the
papers appeal to Polish parties to de-
clare a one-day general strike. A gen
eral strike has been called at Lem
berg.
Embittered by the tearing off of a
strip of their territory to be given the
