prepared by the United States Depart

Much time. trouble and actual loss
in the operation OF the farm can be
saved II the implements and ma
chimes are well cared for and needed
repairs made before the spring rush
of work begins. Some farmers wait
until II Is time to use the implements
then haul them out of their winter
quarters. The man who follows this
practice may find that important i'm
plements need repairs, and although
the season Is ripe for blowing or seed
ing, which should be done without de-
lay, It Is necessary for him to drop
AL other work aud attend to the re-
pair job which could have been done
earlier In the season. Orders for re-
pair parts and new machines should
be placed as soon as possible This

agents with the demand 10 different
sections and enable them to make the
best possible distribution. At the
same time, It win eliminate expensive
delays In transportation at the busy
season,
Preserve All Machinery.
All practicable steps should be taken
to preserve machinery now on hand.
Needless exposure to the weather
should be avoided, and in cases where
It Ia not practicable to house machin-
cry when idle, all bearings should
receive thorough application of
heavy oil or grense to keep out moist
ure and prevent rust. II is believed
that ON many farms machinery could
be more adequately sheltered in the
buildings available by exercising care
In placing them so as to economic
space.
Importance Of oilng.
More damage can be done TO ma
chine in half an hour through lack Of
oil or grease on some bearings than by
n whole seasons exposure to the
weather, SPECIALISTS OF the United
States department Of Agriculture de-
clare. For this sort OF neglect there
can be no excuse, It Is said. Operat-
ing a machine without fabrication, es-
pecially when the bearings are slight
ly rusty, will quickly result in the
wearing away of the metal, often to a
considerable depth, in very few min
utes. Expensive breakages, as well
MS serious delays, also may be caused
by operating machines on which nuts
have worked loose or have come on
entirely, allowing bolts to loosen or
drop out.
Some consideration in the use and
care of farm machinery are:
Orders for new equipment and re-
pair parts should be placed as soon
MS possible.
To produce maximum results with
minimum OF labor, new and modern,
machinery In large sizes should be
used wherever possible.
Serviceable equipment, not needed,
should be sold or made available to
others.
Useless machinery should be return
ed to the channels of trade as junk.
Thorough fabrication and proper
care when in use will materially
lengthen the period of service of farm
equipment.
More care should be given to pro-
tecting farm implements from the
weather.

GAME DAY AT
The DIVERSITY
Keen Rivalry Exists Be
tween Front and Rear
Lines of Soldiers.

This afternoon is known as game
day at the university for the soldiers.
Beginning at 4 o'clock the rest of the
afternoon will be devoted to games,
the contests to be between the front
and rear lines and for the honor of
the respective lines.
The program will consist Of the
following events: Relay races, pill
low fights, tug of war, boxing con-
tests, Indian wrestling contests and
a race with a man as a burden.
The program will be held under
the supervision of G. C. Carpenter,
physical director of the local Y. M.
G. A., who has arranged the events
for this afternoons contest. The To-
cal Y. M. G. A. has been taking a
very active and helpful interest in
the soldiers who have been stationed
at the university. having given their
swimming pool and the services of
their physical director to the boys to
help them all to learn how to swim.
But the Y does not stop here but
goes out to the boys n stages
amusements for them in their hours
OF ~recreation; amusements that will
build up the soldier.
The event which causes the keen
est rivalry Of any on the program is
h race in which all who enter car
~ a man on their back. Greater in
terest is taken in this event because
of the good which may be derived
from it. 1t is not the strongest man
who wins here but the one who can
best acquire the "knack" of carrying
another body. The physical director
Of the Y. M. c. A. has given the boys
considerable drill in this one c be-
cause of the value it. may prove to
them at some future time when they
arrive lover there"
During the last week Of the mems
training at the university an elabor-
ate field and track meet will be held,
details of which will be given later.
