represents a stock on farms of few
million horses, and to these must be
added the stock eliminated by the au-
tomobile.
Last of all, the farm tractor has ap-
peared, with conjectura1 possibilities,
but as yet with no perceptible dis
placement Of horses.
Unusual and large demands for
horses for war purposes have been
made since the autumn of 1914. Dur
ing the ten years preceding, from 49,
600 to 10000 horses were exported an
nually, while the imports were from
5000 to $4,000, SO that the net exports
were no appreciate draft on dOmes-
tic production. In the first year of the
war 289, $40 horses were exported, in
the second 357, 553, and in the third
278.674 horses, and within less than
year the needs of the army Of this
country have called for a large number
of horses.
Notwithstanding the various forces
that have been working against In

places. or rather, in common eXpecta-

strong rate, the fact is that horses on
farms increased at the average yearly
rate of 5000 since 1900 and more
than that since 1910, or $4,000 per
year. Per capita oS the population,
farm horses tended to increase from
O.19 of 1 horse in 1850 to O.24 In 109O
and 1900. after which the decline has
been to O.2O15 in 1918, or still above
1850. At the same tS,.1e, however, Dy
means of machinery the farm horse
has constantly gained as a producer.
Strange though 1t may seem, the av-
erage price Of a hors1 at the FARM
all ages and conditions included IS
less than it was four years ago, ana
even eight years ago. Since 1881
horse prices at the farm for January
had risen from $31.51 to $111.46 by
1911, the highest average in the de-
partment of agriculture's record OF 90
years. but a decline followed to $1O1.6O
In 1915 and then gain to $1O4.2S IN
1913 apparently caused by the war.

| is to be thrashed rapidly and waste re-
duced to minimum, it is essential
that the engine should have sufficient
power and the belt pulley be of the
right size to run the separator at the
proper speed at all times. The speed
in revolutions per minute at which the
cylinder should run is invariably
stated by the manufacturer in the in
structiOns accompanying the machine
and Is often stamped on the machine
itself. A variation of more than a few
per cent either above or below this
stated speed is sufficient to impair Sc
riously the efficiency of the entire ma
chine.
Don't Guess at Speed.
The operator should not guess at the
speed of the machine, for a variation
of per cent may reduce it's efficiency.
The only way to determine the speed
satisfa ctOrily as closely as this is to
use speed indicator. If a speed indi-
Gator was not furnished with the ma
chine, good one can be purchased for
81 or less. One of these will last for
years, and will enable the thrasherman
to determine at any time the speeds at
which his machine is running.
A thrashing machine cannot be ex-
pected to do good work unless the belt
ing and pulleys are kept in good condi-
ton. The speed at which the different
parts should run and the power re-
CURED to drive them are carefully cal
culated.
Running Leather Belts.
All leather belts should be run with
the grain or hair side next to the pull
ley. The outside of belt must stretch
a little every time it goes over a pull
ley, and, as the flesh side is more elas-
tic than the hair side. the belt will
last longer if run in this manner. Also
the grain side is smoother and will
transmit more power because it brings
more surface into actual contact with
the face of the pulley. A leather belt
which has become dry and hard can
be made soft and pliable again by
cleaning it thoroughly and applying
neat's-foot oil, castor oil, or some other
reliable belt dressing
The lacing of belt should be such
that it will pass over the pulleys with
I1Ll1C VI AO SAIOCh VI" jar. "A 1dCIAS
should be fastened otherwise than by
tying knot, especially if the belt runs
over an idler or tightener.
Service of Separator.
The total amount Of service which a
separator will give depends more than
anything else upon the care and Oiling
of the bearings. This is especially true
of steel separatOrs. Before the ma
chine is started on the seasons work,
it is imperative that it be gone over
carefully to see that all journals and
boxes are in proper shape and plenti-
fully supplied with oil. Since the sep
arator has so many parts which move
at high rate Of speed, and the whole
machine is subject to constant strain
and vibration while in motion, any
parts that are not perfectly solid and
tight are almost sure to give trouble
before the season is over. The failure
of any one part will stop not only the
machine, but the entire thrashing crew
as we'll.

The waste of grain through
the inefficient operation of
thrashing machines, though not
a serious matter to the individ-
ual farmer, is matter of per-
haps millions of bushels to the
nation as a whole and to the ma
tons that just now are looking
to US for food to ward off fam
inc. When we consider that
there are 100000 farms in. the
United States, it is evident that
a waste of only a bushel a set
would be an enormous loss in
the aggregate.

matter, however, cannot be definitely
arranged until after the opening o;
school when the enr0llments in, the
several grades will be- known.
+, 1t is the. present plan to introduce
mtd-year promotions in the grades THIS
year. This Is done to bring the school
to a higher standard; to take. better
care of those children who. for various
fail in part of their work, to
conform to the general, plan. followed
by other city schools in cities OF this
class, and to prevent holding back pu
pills, who can do more work than Is
required under the year plan. This
will be introduced in manner thai
will work no hardship on the progress
of any pupil and will greatly strength
en- the work done In the entire school.
When school opens September 2. work
in both the first and second hal!
years will be begun In each grade up
to the high school. Pupils who pass
ed without condition at the close OF
the past year will take up the work
OF the next year and become mem
bers OF the "B'' classes. Those 'Sho

will not take the entire years work
over again, as heretofore, but will be-,
gin the work of the second half year
this fall, and if passing work is done
will pass into the first half-year work
of the next grade at the middle Of
the year. thus saving a half year VI
time. These will be the "A" class
At the mid-year, those who were in

class of the next grade. 1t is likely
that the g. and "A" classes will not
be divided evenly as to numbers, aid
for the first half year this plan is in
operation, it is expected that som.
will be found in each "B''g class who
are especially strong. as will be shown
