MOTORTRUCK GAINING FAVOR
GUS Help Of Machines In Present
Threatened Crisis.

1t has been determined by the Unit
ed States department of agriculture
that five acres are required to main
tain q horse. Now this land ought to
raise IS bushels Of wheat, worth, at
$3.50 a bushel. $165: or say $50 BUSH
els of potatoes, worth-well, any farm
er knows what five acres Of good land
are worth.
But a motortruck does the work,
not Of one horse, but Of at least three
horse-drawn vehicles, or say six horses.
BY using a notortruck, therefore, the
farmer would represent nearly $1,000
a year, observes the Christian Herald.
The labor involved in raising the wheat
would be no greater than in raising
oats or corn for horse feed and the
horse would eat the oats while the
wheat could be sold.
There are In the country at lease L.
CSC, 1000 farms or 40 acres or more In
size. every one of which could make
good use of one or more trucks. These
trucks would do the work Of probably
10, 600 horses, and this would e
lease 100000 acres Of arabic land.
As only three acres are required to
support a human being, these would
feed nearly 100000 people. What
a tremendous help that would be in the
present threatened food crisis!

ment of Agriculture.)
Many small reservoirs have been
built in the grazing districts of the
West to furnish water for range stock
and household purposes, the irrigation
of land from such supplies being of
secondary Importance. These are dis
cussed in this article.
In the Great Plains area and more
particularly in the eastern portions of
Wyoming and Montana and the west
ern portions Of the Dakotas, there is
little stream flow during the greater
part of the year and the well water
often is so impregnated with mineral
salts as to be unfit for drinking pur-
poses. On the other hand, the native
grasses are abundant and nutritious
but the cattle and sheep which Craze
thereon are not permitted to feed be-
yond easy reach Of the nearest water
hole. Thus without the use of reser-
vOirs or other means Of providing wa
ter. the public range can be only par
TALLY utilized and too often the big
stock companies, in acquiring posses
sion Of the land bordering springs and
streams, become the sole beneficiaries
of the use of such lands.
Water for Stock.
Other reservoirs Of this class have
been built by transportation companies
in order to provide water for cattle
and sheep en- route from the range to
the nearest railway station.
The dams for reservoirs of this type
are of earth built for the most part in
the beds of streams. Before the en-
bankment is begun the surface of the
ground under the entire base Of the
dam, as we'll as the borrow pit, Is
stripped for a depth Of at least six
inches SO as to get rid Of all sod and
other light, porous material which
would prevent the earth in the dam
from settling in a solid and compact

FACTORS IMPORTANT
IN FIXING PROFITS
Size, Diversity and Productive.
ness Are Essential to Sue
cessfuI Farm Business.

The factors most important in de.
termlnlng the profits in farming are
size, diversity, and productivity Of the
business, according to w. e. Grimes,
assistant professor of farm manage
ment In the Kansas State Agricultural
college.
"Of these factors. the one which
cOnfronts farmers is diversity of bust.
ness" said Mr.. Grimes. "Too many
farmers derive the greater part of
their income from one enterprise,
which If 1t fails leaves them without
resources.
Seasons vary while the require
ments of different crops are constant.
Seasons which are u%nfavorable for one
crop are often favorable for another.
The farmer who is following diversi-
fled farming methods usually has q
good yield Of some crop.
another difficulty of Importance
to the farmer who grows only one
crop is that he has IN abundance of
work during rush seasons and has lit
tie to do at other times. Under pres
ent conditions labor is scarce. Often
by growing a combination of crops he
can distribute his labor throughout the
summer season.
I'm the wheat growing sections
farmers should plant part Of their
ground to crops for feed and keep suf-
ficient live stock to utilize them. Live
stock furnish work throughout the
winter and often enable the farmer
to hire a farm hand for the year.
"Feed crops usually do not conflict
seriously with wheat harvests and
distribute farm labor throughout the
summer season more uniformly. They
will yield a profit when fed to live
stock. Roughage which is Of little
value otherwise may also be fed. Keep
ing live stock Is the most economical
method of maintaining the fertility Of
the soil and only practical meth
cd for nearly all sections of the state.
Better diversity in business Of the
average farmer will increase the
establish farming on a safer
business basis and enable the farmer
to safeguard against the danger Of
complete failure in any year and aid

WINTER AUTO CARE
How to Keep Finishes Bright De.
spite Exposures.
CAR OWNER MUST USE CARE
Protective Coat Of Paint Is Heavy and
Shields the Softer Coloring Base
From Inroads Of Weather.
Use Cold Water.

Keeping the car comfortable Is not
the only winter problem. How to pre-
serve its finish despite winters attack
is important. 1.-THE car owner must
care during freezing and thawing
weather." says C. L. Hedges, who adds
1.-THE paint Of a car Is composed of
three principal parts: First. the foun-
dalton or printing coat; second. the
color, and, third, the protective coat.
The protective coat is a heavy, hard
coat of transparent varnish which pro-
tects the softer coloring base from
the inroads of the weather. If this
protective Goa Is kept firm, the color
coats will hold their original brill
liancy.
Washing a Car.
"Never try to wash the al out In
the cold. Take 1t in where 1t Is mod
erately warm. Then use clear, cold
water. The cold water will have a
tendency to harden the varnlsh on a
new car, thereby preventing abrasion.
II you use any soap at all, use only a
limited amount, as free acid or alkali
tends to soften the finish. Soak the
mud thoroughly with a small stream
Of water until mud runs off. Don't
rub the mud off. If mud has frozen to
the finish, keep on applying cold wa
ter until it runs away. Never use
hot water. In drying the car avoid
using a channels that contains any sand
or grit. If polish is necessary, use a
good grade, then rub off the surplus.
"Never allow a a Of fine finish to
stand in a barn or stable where ami
mails are kept. The ammonia of the
manure will check and ruin the finish.
Temperature for Garage.
"Don't keep the garage too hot. This
caution applies to what is probably
the greatest enemy Of the fine body
finish. In an overheated garage the
body of the car expands gradually; If.
then, following this condition. the car
is suddenly exposed to extreme cold,
the result is plain. The sudden con-
traction in cooling causes the paint to
check. Bearing in mind this direction
along with those given before, those
who own good ears and have from the
first taken pride in their finish will
be able to drive through the coming
months Of severe weather with little
or no danger of damaging this finish"

method Of separating the leaves Is by
releasing the clips and staybolts, and
placing a jack between the frame and
floor to raise the load. Beeswax, or
this and powdered resin, heated, Is
suitable for the springs, If applied as
suggested. The unsightly sagging rear
of many cars is often caused by fall

tween the leaves, and In some instan-
ces by abuse through methods Of lu-
brication. To insert a lubricant, such

This trench is dug for the purpose OF

The dam then is built In the usual
way by placing the material in uniform
layers under the whole base Of the

It will be noted from this sketch that

feet below the top of the embankment.
Wherever possible, a natural waste
way was utilized in direct line with the
stream channel and the dam located

to the direct force of the stream.
To protect the embankment from
waves produced by the high winds of
the open range, the inner slope may
be covered with rock, brush and rock,

protection consists of sheet piling

islation that, in practical effect, would

by Democrats. That has been the in
evitable effect of much of the legisla-
ton enacted during the last two years.
With the record before them OF the un-
scrupulous political efforts of the
President and his party leaders to
maintain their control of Congress,
the Republicans have awaited with
trepidation renewed excuses in auto
cratic legislation, in preparation for
the Democratic attempt in 1920 to
continue in the White House Mr.. Wiz
son or g man of his selection.
"But the danger is now behind us.
Not only will the Republicans be in a
position, after March 4th to stop fur
Their attempts at Executive %usurption
Of legislative prerogatives, but they
will also be able to put before the
President for his approval bills calcu-
lated to undo much of the carefully
prepared political construction that
the Democrats have built. Let Mr..
Wilson veto such measures if he
chooses to do so. Every sound recon
sruction bill he refuses to sign will
prove another nail in his political cof-
fin.
"The people discovered that Mr..
Wilson is not infallible. This in spite
of the fact that every effort has been
made to impress upon the public that
criticism Of the Executive was little
short of treason. They have been
told that acts of the President must
be accepted without the slightest
question, else encouragement will be
given the enemy. Doubtless amazed
at his wv audacity the voter decided
to express his convictions without re-
gard to directions from Washington.
He has found that many millions of
the American people think alike in
their estimate of the President. The
result of elections will give courage
not only to the individual to talk as he
thinks, but will stimulate the press to
give expressions to the thoughts that
have surged in the minds Of editors
for many months. Freedom of speech
and unbridled discussion of public
questions in the months to come will
mark the rapid dissolution of the hold
the Democrats now have uDon the
country and will spell an even more
complete defeat for their party in
