hit the wheat most OF the time? Why,
when / was q boy before the Civil war,
we had to contend with the same dis
ease on winter wheat >had to change
the seed every four or i've years and
the red bearded wheat suffered the
most. Then we tried other varieties Of
spring wheat, then came the Scotch
and Blue Stem. These last varieties
withstood the smallpox (as / cali IT,
the longest.
{ In the year Of 1882 there was case
in the southern part Of the state Of a
kind Of wheat called Sea Island wheat
being introduced, and in eight years
the black rust had killed it forever.
It was bearded wheat.
Now, have been close observer Of
the causes Of rust, and have told my
neighbors that rust was coming two
weeks before there was any sign Of 1t
on the wheat. Three years ago about
two weeks before any SYMPTOMS Of rust
could be found, II one arose before sun
up, or before daylight, he could see a
white vapor> covering all the grain fields
and in two or three days you could see
a red rim above the first joint, all
through the fields like rainbow. II
the grain ripens rapidly you will not see
that, and In about two or three days
you take a stem of the wheat between
two fingers and you can feel the stem

PROSPERITY IN HOG-HARVEsTINGI

Practically every farmer can plant
and cultivate larger acreage than he
can harvest. s s45sss5 .sI
When the harvest season comes he is
overWorked
Also, he has to depend on transient
labor, which, many times, is bothersome
and unreliable.
And, after all, considerable portion
of the crop may have to go to waste be-
cause it can not be gathered In time.
& The hog, helped out by cattle and
sheep when practicable, is an excellent
labor equalizer.
He harvests the corn crop more eff
GENTLY than the transient farm hand
can be expected to do it-and does not
have to be superintendent by the owner
of the farm.
He is equally efficient in harvea1<eg
rye, or clover, or alfalfa, or soy bealls,
or COW peas.
When the farmer makes. use Of the
cooperative quality Of the hog he has
more, time for essential tasks, more
time to look out for his own health and
happiness and that of his family, makes
more money on the years operations,
and has better ground for the next
years crops. Fl.
The farm that depends on transient
laborers as haryesters is likely to grow
poorer year by year. The farm that
uses hogs as harveSterS is certain to
grow more fertile with every crop.

full Of blisters, but could not be noticed.
IN day or two they turn q whitish
color and in few days turn black.
This year 1t was the same except the
white fog was missing. All summer
get up at daylight and make observa-
lions. This year a hot vapor rose and
mixed with the cool air, hence it came
quicker.
Now just word to the farmer
Don't forget the lesson you got this
year. have never seen good crop OF
wheat for five or six years after good
crop.
It sounds ridiculous to us to hear that
the barberry bush spreads it all over
the west in such a short time. You
have to raise more corn, potatoes and
clover and get the soil back to its nor
NAL condition for wheat"

HELPFUL HINTS IN
TRACTOR OPERATION.
By 4. W Fitzpatrick, Mgr. Service
81 Hart-Parr Tractor Co

Don't get ratified around a tractor.
Safety first saves time and money.
Never make an adjustment unless
you know why.
Think first, then use the wrench 4
necessary.
Don't crank and crank and crank
look around for the cause if tractor
does not start.
Do not race the motor, either when
idling or when under load. It is hard
on all bearings and is not conducive to
the. long life of the motor.
IS Be sure you have plenty of fuel, oil
and water before going in the field. II
prevents needless delays and possible
damage to the tractor
Use the very best grade of lubric 1t.
ing oil you can obtain.
Examine the sight feed on the lubri.
Gator occasionally and see that all
pumps are delivering the proper amount
of oil.
Clean out the distributor on the mag
:, neto at least every three or four weeks,
using soft cloth and removing any
carbon, dust or dirt that may have ac-
cumulated.
!, See that breaker points are not pitted
and are adjusted the proper distance
about 1872 Of an inch.
Be sure the spark plugs are clean be-
fore fussing with the magnetic.
Be sure the spark plugs are tight in
the cylinders and that the insulation is
not cracked, thus allowing short Ill
the current.
If spark plugs are changed be sure
they are the proper length so they will
extend into the cylinder.
Do not use too much leverage when
turning in spark plugs. They should be
turned in tight but not twisted out of
shape
A kissing noise is sometimes caused
by loose or broken insulation in the
spark plugs. Other causes may be a
leaky gasket or defective piston rings.
Do not attempt to shift gears until
the pulley comes to full stop.
Do not allow the clutch to engage too
suddenly, but avoid prolonged slippage
to prevent undue wear of friction lin
ing.
Do not fail to drain radiator in freez-
ing weather after motor has been shut
down.
Do not fail to lubricate the motor or
neglect to lubricate other parts. Oil is
cheaper than repairs. USE GOOD
OIL"
Knocking" generally indicates a
loose bearing. Attend at once and
tighten up. A "knocker'' always causes
/ trouble.
Keep grease cups filed and turned
down often on front and rear axles.
Don't allow connecting rods to pound.
II connecting rod bearings are loose, re-
move inspection plate and take up lost
motion. III
Merely follow instructions regarding
care of magnetic. Do not try to re.
build it to suit your ideas. Short cir.
cults cause trouble. Inspect your wires
occasionally. Do not allow wiring tC
remain wet and oil soaked.
