United States Department of Agricul-
ture Recommends That Farmers
Cooperate In Purchase of Va
rious Farm Outfits.

Work which Is generally done In
some part of the country with the aid
of machines that greatly increase the
efficiency Of the man employed Is still
largely done by hand in other parts.
Machinery for the most of the work In
connection with preparing and filling
the soil is available In many sizes, and
frequently two or more outfits. each
requiring the time Of one man. are
seen working In the same field on OPP
erations for which implements OF two
or three times the size of those used
could be employed with just as salts
factory results. There are few farm
horses which a driver Of ordinary In
telligence cannot train to work In
large teams In few days time, and
most of the larger implements are lit
tie IL any more complicated or diff
cult to hanaile than the small ones for
the same work.
Machinery Profitable.
Where the farm Is large, and 1t is
not possible to procure sufficient labor,
SPECIALISTS OF the United States de-
partment of agriculture say it is more
profitable, as we'll as patriotic, to In
stall machinery which will enable the
operator to plant, cultivate, and har-
vest full acreage of the crops best
suited to his land and the needs OF
his country, than to let some OF the
land lie idle, or, at best, have 1t pre-
pared and worked poorly, and the
crops out of season.
In Farmers Bulletin 9S9, Better

issued by the United States depart
uent of agriculture, photographs or
actual farm scenes are printed TO
show that In many cases work can De

ments and greater motive power. ana
sometimes the gain Is considerably
more than that. If the nature OF the
work and the machinery for doing II

Combining to Purchase Machinery.
Can all farmers afford to buy extra
horses and larger implements to save
man labor? OF course those whose
farms require but one or two horses
to do the ordinary work seldom can
afford TO do so. But they can secure
this additional help by combining 10
purchase larger machinery, and doup-
ling up their teams to operate r; or
one. usually more skilled in operating
machinery, or better able to purchase
1t, may own the larger Implements
and do the work for several neighoor
farmers, besides his own, to the al
vantage of all concerned. Both THESE
methods have been tried out in many
localities with mowers, harvesters'
tractors. thrashing machines, anu
other farm machinery.

INVESTING IN MACHINERY

If two men, driving one horse
each, can combine the two
horses into one team which one
man can drive. and this team
can do as much or more work
than the two did singly, isn't 1t
wise to combine them and save
one mans time?
And if the farm is large and
conditions warrant. isn't 1t wise
to combine two Of these two
horse teams into one, and save
another mans timer
But before making these extra
investments it is wise for the
farmer to consider well the cost
and the probable gain. If extra
horses and implements cost
more than they will produce, of
course it would be unwiSe to
make the investment.

BEST SOLDIERS IN EUROPE.
The American soldier has long

The American soldier has long
been regarded as the best in the
world. This reputation is being
sustained by the American army
in France, and the wisdom of the
system of training. to which the
American army is being subjected
by our war department is being
proved. A few days ago a French
official statement said a big
"raid" by the French in the
Champagne district was a dis
tinct success because of the "ef-
fective support" given by Amer
lean batteries. Still more re-
Gently an official statement from
the American army headquarters
in France stated that American
troops had withstood three
hour gas attack by the Germans
without single case of gas poi
soning. This remarkable record
was attributed to the splendid
training United States troops
have received.
The French know fighting men,
and their officers are giving u"
qualified testimony that the Amer
ican units reaching France are
the finest soldiers engaged in this
war. George Paftullo, war cor
respondent for The Saturday
Evening Post, writes to hte same
ffct. and adds that every fresh
American contingent which ar
rives i'm France is better than its
predecessors.
Probably no troops in the war
have gained a higher reputation
for fighters than the Canadians,
yet the Canadians are trained for
only three months, with two
weeks "post- graduate" course in
France. Judged by this, the
Germans have yet to meet their
most efficient enemy.
Gen. Pershing was quoted re-
GENTLY as saying if the French
and British held their lines
against the Germans until May.
nothing could prevent the allied
forces from breaking through the
German lines takes place, the
American soldiers will play most
conspicuous part.
In any event, the "delay" i'll
getting United States troops to
France, due to time wasted" in
training them here which has
formed the basis of some very i'll
tempered criticism of our war de-
partment, is rapidly furnishing its
own vindication.-N. O. Item.
