Large pile shows grain wasted while
threshing 2Ka busheIs-s pints In
this instance. Small pile shows
grain wasted after adjustments had
been made to machine--less than 1
pint. The unnecessary loss of z
plnts occurred every two minutes the
separator was In operation. This
means that AZ per cent Of the grain
was lost.
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 a lower speed Of
the cylinder.
Unthreshed heads are often found
in the tallings. 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 1t is
evident that the operator must be
thoroughly familiar with the entire
machine. It 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 a machine stops the whole
crew must be idle until 1t starts again
Ia 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 thresherman 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 both thresher-
men and farmers.

eral different kinds, varying somewhat
In shape and construction, but built
on the compassionate principle, are
now offered for sale.
The'spray formula used was $3.50
Bordeaux soap mixture, composed Of
five pounds OF copper sulphate, five
pounds stone lime, three pounds resin
fish oil soap, and fifty gallons of water.
To reduce the work of preparing
spray mixtures the following stock
solutions were made: Five pounds OF
copper sulphate (blue stone) was dis
solved by suspending 1t In wooden
vessel containing FIVE gallons of wa
ter Copper sulphate corrodes iron
and tin. Five pounds OF stone lime
(quick-lime) was slaked in another
vessel by slowly adding water at first
and later increasing the volume to Ave
gallons. Three pounds of resin fish
oil soap was diluted in a third vessel
by stirring 1t In hot water until thin
and increasing the volume to five gal
Ions by adding water of ordinary tenn
perature.
These stock solutions keep indefin-
itely If not mixed or weakened by
rain, but the lime should be covered
to prevent drying out and air-slaking.
The level of the liquid when freshly
made and after each spray period
should be marked on each vessel, and
water added when needed to restore
loss by evaporation.
Ten gallons of spray mixture are
prepared by taking one gallon Of each
freshly stirred stock solution and in
creasing 1t to three and one-third gal
Ions by adding water, and by pouring
together and stirring the three dilut-
ed solutions thus made. The result
ing mixture is ready for use as soon
as strained and should be used while
fresh, as 1t deteriorates by standing.

GIVE ALFALFA A GOOD START
Too Much Is Expected of Seed and
Not Enough Preparation Has Been
Given to Soil.

Failures in growing alfalfa occur
in majority of cases at planting time.
Too much is expected of the seed. Not
enough preparation has been given to
the soil, and the conditions which con-
tribute to healthy. thrifty, quick
growth are entirely lacking.
Too many beginners with alfalfa
seem to have the idea that because al
falfa gathers and appropriates to its
own use the nitrogen from the air,
that 1t is not necessary to have avail
able nitrogen in the soil. This is not
true. About one-third of the nitrogen
used by legumes is taken from the soil
direct, and two-thirds Of it from the
air.

KEEP HOGS COOL IN SUMMER
Animals Get Hot Very Easily and
Care Should Be Taken to Keep
Their Quarters Shaded.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
Every time hog gets too hot, he
pants away an appreciable portion of
meat. And hogs get hot very easily.
During the summer, especial care
should be taken to have the hog quar-
tiers well shaded. If no natural shade
is available, very good shelter may
be made of straw or boughs placed
about four feet above the pen or wal
low. Clean water in which the hogs
can lie should always be provided,

agriculture.

The regulation prohibiting, after
July l, 1919, the interstate movement
of cattle for breeding or dairy pur-
poses unless they are properly tuber-
culin-tested, will prove to be long
step toward the control of tuberculo-
sis and its eventual eradication in this
country, according to officials Of the
United States department of agricul-
ture. 1t supplements and strengthens
state regulations on this subject.
q The object of the regulation is spe-
cifically to prevent the interstate ship
ment of diseased animals to cattle
breeders or dairymen who are trying
TO drive out or keep tuberculosis from
their herds. Cattle consigned to pub
lie stockyard, and steers and strictly
range cattle may be moved interstate
without restriction under the new
Regulation.
Copies of the regulation, which has
been issued by the secretary of agri-
culture and is known as regulation
seven of bureau Of animal industry or
der 26S, are being printed, and will be
available soon for cattle owners, deal
ers, veterinarians and others who may
desire them.
The regulation Of interstate move
ment of cattle follows the same prin-
cIple used successfully in the control
of other animal diseases, and has been
recommended to the department of
agriculture by many cattle owners as
an essential part of the campaign
against tuberculosis, which is now get
ting well underway, and in which the
federal government and AZ states are
cooperating.
What Cattle May Be Moved.
Cattle known to be tubercular may
be moved Interstate for immediate
slaughter under federal inspection.
They must be marked for identified
tion; must be accompanied by GER
tihcate showing their condition, that
they may be shipped interstate. and
the purpose for which they are
shipped; transportation companies
must identify the cattle as tubercuiar

IN THRESHINC
Million Bushels Of Grain Lost
Each Year Because of lnef-
ficient Methods.

tureIs instructions.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture)
Every important grain state has
been losing over million bushels of
grain each year because of inefficient
threshing methods, declare investiga-
tors of the United States department
of agriculture. The government, by
bringing this enormous loss to the at
tention of farmers and threshermen
and showing them how to avoid 1t,
saved 22,000000 bushels of grain in
the 81 states in which the educational
work was carried on last year.
When an average of eight bushels
of grain is lost on every farm In the
United States at threshing time every
year, that loss begins to have per-
sonal meaning. With wheat worth
$2.26, it is well worth while to pre-
vent that loss, If possible, And 1t is
entirely possible The chief source of
loss is the inefficient operation Of
threshing machines.
Any standard threshing machine will
do satisfactory work II kept in repair
and operated lntelligently, If the OPP
orator knows his machine, and sees
that it is properly adjusted and OPP
Grated, grain will come through clean
and losses viii he small, The farmer
should know enough about the general
operation of threshing machine to
detect poor work, which means d.
rect loss to him.
Adjust Separator Carefully.
To do good work the separator must
be set level, both crosswise and length
wise, and then carefully adjusted to
the particular job at hand. The greater
part of the separation Is done in the
cylinder and Immediately after the
grain passes over 1t. If cracked grains
are frequent there may be too much

Skill in balancing rations and care cul attention to details were rewarded by fair profits in hog feeding opera tions of K. $. Townsend of Phoenix. who fed out a bunch of hogs this win ter, keeping complete records of weights, gains, and feed under the direction of H. c. Heard, county agri- cultural agent and w. F. Schneider of the bureau of animal industry.
 This feeding demonstration began December II and ended January 24 1919. An unusual amount of interest has been taken in the demonstration. The only purpose of a hog feeding demonstration such as the one con ducted by Mir. Townsend is to demon strate methods of feeding and costs or pork production under prevailing con- ditions. The figures given out on the day the tesr closed. on the value of the hogs and receipts are as follows
 December 1l-20 head. total weight 2325 at 16c or S372.0O.
 January 24-20 head total weight ST34 at 16c or s59744.
 The twenty head of hogs consumed 1870 pounds of grain, cost s1666. e. The ration consisted of so per cent milo or hegaria, l5 per cent barley and 3 per cent cottonseed meal. Self feeders were used which greatly re- duced the labor The pigs made an average daily gain per head of 1.6 pound. The cost per hundred pounds gain was s11.S0. The results of this demonstration shows a fair profit on gains made and prove that hogs eat hegaria as well as they do milo.
