Gasoline Horse Sense.

A simple but frequently forgotten
precaution in regard to filling the gas
elene tank is that the mouth Of the
gasolene can should be carefully
wiped off before filling to remove any
dust or dirt that may have lodged
there. Otherwise, in the absence OF a
strainer, the gasolene will carry the
accumulated dust into the tank and
later there will be trouble with

At a little green table,
On a green gray roof.
Under a green persola
Palms and potted plants.
And running vines.
Had raised this oasis.
Above tho city turmoil.
For down below roared Broadway.
And the high spirit
or money and commercIalism-
But there we were.
Under soft shaded lights.
With subdued music.
And the clinking OF ice
In long slender glasses,
And It was the hour.
or silver-lIke dusk.
And far in the west.
Was the dying sun.
An arch OF pulsirg splendor.
Spanning the misty gray.
And a pair Of young lovers
Came and sat near US.
And soon we could see them.
Holding hands under the table.
And we were carried back
To the little home town
With its shaded streets.
And evening church bells.
And chirp of crickets.
And the soft padding.
OF the old terryboat
On its last trip Of the day.
And then down Broadway.
Came a new rainbow.
or electric light bulbs.
Brilliant yellow.
Vivid orange.
Sapphire blue and ruby red.
Emerald green.
And royal purple
Blending in a Joseph's coat
OF many colorS.
And they flashed the names.
OF Oshkosh Carriers.
And kchess Drinks.
And things like that
Ad nauseam.
And our bubble burst.
And we gave forth a sigh.

Provide Proper Repairs
The department recommends that a
careful and systematic inspection of
each impl amen; be made for the pur-
pose of making or ordering repairs.

Seeders, drills, planters, cultivators.

is suggested that each implement be
inspected for badly worn or broken
parts to deter mine wat parts should
be repaired and those that must be
replaced With new ones.
AS reminder for ordering new
parts aid in oyerhauling the machine,
make a list for each implement of
the parts TO hn repaired or the new
parts to he bought; also any special
tools nee Assaty in making these re-
pairs. Put down the name Of manu-
facturer, ear bought, and che num-
Der of the machine if it is known.
[ forders are sent to the factory be
sure to specify the catalogue, pattern,
or casting number of the part. Order
repair parts early, as the dealer may
not have them in stock. Overhaul
your equ,i maEt and havt it all in
good shape before the season opens.
Plan New Buildings
Late Winte~ is the pest time to
make plans and preparations for any
building which is contemplated. This
will assure the presence of the ma
terial when needed, and will often
permit the making of favorable con-
tracts which would be difficult to
consunmate -ater on when the rush
Of spring work begins. AS the COM
ing season promises to be a busy one
in the building line, every farmer
who wishes to build is urged by the
federal department to shake a leg"
and get mis- plans under way.
Now is the time to prepare hog
houses for the spring crop of pigs.
Repair where necessary, so as to
minibize pig mortality due to made
Quate she-te. Thousands of new
born pigs are lost each season due to
unsatisfa.-or7 housing. Weather.
proof houses will save many.
The late writer also is a propitious
time for Re building Of new and the
repairing of old fences. WORKOUT

where necessary to make the fields
stock-tight. If possible the supply of
