lance it presents a most attractive pic
ture. From miles away in the desert
one can see the green mass of Bagdad
Floating In the atmosphere and as one
approaches nearer along the dreary,
dusty track, its colOred domes and
| gilded minarets can be distinguished
Showing above the palms and trees.
AS one enters the town most of this
is lost to sight a1d one finds oneself
in a narrow winding street. The walls
on either side are usually very bare.
Every now and then one passes a
door, sometimes plain, sometimes quite
ornate with jolly brass door knockers.
Above, from the first floor are pro-
jecting oriel windows, these, too, vary
ing from plain brick and timber to
carved wood of great richness with
lpierced screens, often of very beauti-
full design. But be they plain or fancy,
they cast pleasant shadow on the
road beneath and incidentally block
out from view except for a glimpse
hereiand there, the domes or minarets
which were so noticeable from outside
the city walls.
Out Of the maze of these narrow
streets one would never emerge had it
not been for the kindness of the Turk,
who very thoughtfully cut a broad
road right through the center of the
town in commemoration Of the fall Of
Kut. Now, in our day, we use it for
the main stream of traffic.
| But the most charming feature Of
Bagdad is the river front and this
alone is sufficient to compel ones adj
rniration for the city. Basra in COM
parison is all mud and shipping.
Amara is pretentious with a row Of
buildings Of uniform design facing on
a promenade, which reminds one toe
much of terrace on the ''front" of a
small seaside resort. Kut is pic.
turesque too, but designed on scale
BETTING it's size and importance, and
with it's mosques and public buildings.
the palms and the trees and more es
pecially the numbers of delightful riv
erside houses, with their verandas and
balconies and their exquisite little gar
dens overhanging the river, Bagdad
has a character and a charm all its
own.

CARE OF HORSES SHOULDERS
Prevent Accumulation of Dirt and
Dandruff on Collars, Especially If
Soreness Develops.

Do not use sweat pads. Keep collars
clean of dandruff and dirt, especially
if soreness develops. Sponge the Shout
ders of work horses with cold water
at night after work. If they are
sweaty at noon, sponge at noon also.
Care should be taken in fitting collars
on work horses. Many collars are too
big or too loose. If the withers are
fat or especially full, the fitting of col
lars will need extra care.-Ohio State

Large pile shows grain wasted while
threshing 2E bushels pints in
this instance. Small Pile shows

pints occurred every two minutes the
separator was In operation. This
means that AZ per cent Of the grain

end play Of the cylinder, the speed
may be too high. or. the concaves may
be set too high. The teeth may be
crooked or too high and not centered.
Too rapid speed will also crack grain.
Dry grain demands lower speed of
the cylinder. ~
INTERESTED heads are often found
in the tailings. This results from
missing or broken teeth, or teeth too
far apart, not centered, or badly worn
concave set too low, or concave with
not enough teeth. The speed of the
cylinder also causes many .unthreshed
heads. Damp, unripe or moldy grain
requires more than normal speed of
the cylinder to thresh 1t out well.
Operator Should Know Machine.
Grain is lost through the improper
adjustment of other parts of the sep
arator as well as the cylinder, so it is
evident that the operator must be
thoroughly familiar with the entire
machine. 1t may not be possible to
save all the grain now lost, but the
careless operator who does not know
how to adjust the different parts of his
machine will waste great amount I'M
necessarily. He will surely have to
make frequent stops for adjustment.
Every time machine stops the whole
crew must be idle until it starts again
"a loss of time. to everybody con-
cerned.
Manufacturers furnish instruction
books on the care and operation of
their threshing. machine. They have
spent years in experimenting. and they
know how their machines should be
run to secure the most satisfactory
results. A great deal of the trouble
experienced by the thresherrnan is due
to his disregard of or even neglect to
read the manufacturers instructions.
There are other ways in which grain
can be saved. but the proper operation
of the separator is the most important.
Efficient operation of the threshing
machine should interest beth thresher-

lawsuit lasted AS Years.

A lawsuit regarding Rhodesian min
ing rights. which has reached the
house of lords in its fourth year, is
quite a legal infant when compared
with some that have preceded it. The
Thellusson will case, for example,
dragged out in the courts from 1897
to 1857. Another similar action at law,
known as the Bishop-Demetra will
case, lasted I'D years. Even this, how
ever, is not q record, for in 1908 there
was settled at Friema lawsuit that
had been In progress since 1430. The
raising of dam was the point at issue
and it occupied the courts for exactly
S7a years.

Probably more little chickens are
killed by gapes than by any other one

the loss is so great as to discourage
