Tractors On the Farm

II. w. oiduSOn, M. E., Tn Leslie S.
 The time has now come when no owner or farm having 100 acres or more under cultivation can we'll afford to be without tractor. During the war the tractor proved its worth, but now that the world 1s largely dependent upon us for food supplies it is a matter of humanity almost as much as efficiency and economy to use the stored energy of nature for the cul- tfyatfon of the crops of nature.
 The products of the larger tractor com panies are becoming more and more standardized, and it is our prediction that, in not too Nistant future, vital parts of tractors, such as gears, bearings and the like, will be obtainab1e at the near est county metropolis, and the farmer who is confronted with the serious situation arising from the breakdown of the tractor during the period of the year when each delay in the harvesting of his crops is se- rious need spend but an hour or so on his run into town for the part to be re- placed. Furthermore, the production of tractors by such a system greatly re- duces the depreciation suffered by the
 orphan" tractors.
 But, however much of the present-day tractor development may be due to the manufacturers of parts as we'll as to the assemblers of the tractors themselves, the farmer as the eventual owner is respon- ssAle for the continued good behavior of tse machine. The farmer who heretofore has left his blow, harrow, harvesting ma chine, or other agricultural implements exposed to the weather cannot expect to
 make success of his power-operated ma chine if he accords the same treatment to his tractor. To be sure, gears and driv- ing pinions have been enclosed as a meas ure of protection against dirt and wet. but the tractor is as deserving of good 1 treatment as is the farmers new six | cylinder car. No farmer would think of l exposing his horse to the rain and sun, | and yet the horse costs but one-third or
 oue-fourth as much as the tractor. and | is able to do but one-tenth of the work. Therefore, from purely business stand
 point, it is the duty of the farmer to
 protect his machine investment well
 as his investment in horse flesh.
 The time is rapidly approaching when the tractor will be sold exclusively on the
 same basis as has proved so profitable

SUMMER MEATS AND HOW TO
 KEEP THEM

"Oh, what shall we have for dinnerT
 This is the eyer-present question the housewife faces when making out the menu. When on the summer va cation it often seems more difficult than ever. As the family and guests troop in to eat, after a long tramp through the woods or an especially long row on the lake, they are often too tired to enjoy hearty meal.
 Summer time Is bound to be warm, it Is true and vacationists are bound to romp through the woods, row around the lake all afternoon, or by themselves so that they come in to their meals hot and fatigued. How ever, a menu which will make them forget the heat and that tired feel ing" is easily arranged by a careful selection of summer meats and sum- mer specialties which will arouse their appetites.
 These summer meats and specialties include boiled ham, jellied loaf prod- ucts of all kind. dry sausage, lunch con beef, tongue, frankfurters, and many other articles which can be made up in attractive manner pleasing to the palate of the most critical. Summer time is the season when ready-to-serve foods are in demand all over the country. Housewives should bear this in mind and pay particular attention to these various hot-weather specialties offered by manufacturers of food commodities. Of course, heavier meats, such as roast beef, roast uI~ fArth ni naCeGaarX. also. and these can well be served cold with salad.
 The jellied loaf products, however. such as corned beef. tongue, meat loaf, etc, are all summer meats. They include many different kinds of meats and consequently satisfy all tastes The large line of dry sausages on tho market is also particularly adaptable and should be kept in mind when placing orders for supplies. Dry saul sage needs no refrigeration and is es- pecia1ly desirable for summer lunch- con All these summer specialties. when properly arranged with radishes olives or salads. can be made into ap- petizing meals, and hostesses who make a study of this will realize not | only in pleased guests but in increased popularity.
 The care of meat in summer time Is an extremely important problem. Cleanliness. of course, is the predomi- nant factor. Hams, bacon and dry sausage can be kept in good condi- | tion by hanging up in somewhat t cool, dry place, provided the articles are covered properly to keep flies, ants and insects away. Here is where the stockinet ham has it's advantages, for it is already covered and protected. In covering these articles it should | be remembered, also, that the wrap l ping or covering should not be too | tight. but loose enough to permit air to reach the article wrapped. Fresh meats. of course, need refrigeration | They should not be placed on top of l the ice itself, but on the refrigeration
 shelves and should be watched closely.
 Fresh meats should be unpacked as
 soon as received and placed in the
 refrigerator. The correct temperature
 for fresh meats should be from 34 tc
 S6 degrees. and it should be made a
 point to keep the refrigerator door oi

in truck smanship-education of the owner to the nature of the work to be per- formed. As a five-ton truck should not be sold to handle two-ton business, so should the size and type of tractor be adapted to the size of the farm and the nature of the ground over which 1t is op- erated. In the same manner as no high grade salesman would endeavor to sell a commercial vehicle to man whose treat ment of it would, he knew, result in failure, so the tractor should be placed only in the hands of those farm owners who can be induced to treat it with the care and consideration which any high grade machine deserves. Even now many tractor manufacturers and dealers are offering a complete course in tractor op- eration and repair t6 prospective pur- chaSerS

the Hindu manifesting that progress sive spirit which you find in the Amer ican race, who are a meat-eating pco- pie.
 The one sided or unbalanced diet, such as the excessive starch diet, will produce an acid-fermentation in the intestinal tract, and this in turn will cause an overstimulation of the peri saltic action of the intestines, thereby carrying the food out or the body be- fore it has been given a chance to be assimilated. This eventually results in rnalnutrition or anemia
 The correction of a one-sided diet can be plainly illustrated by adding eggs to rice. The rice, owing to it's excessive starchy nature, and it's lack of phosphorus, is not a perfect food; however, when eggs are added this de- ficiency is overcome; since eggs are rich in fat, phosphorus and albumin, and, being lacking in carbohydrates, produce, when added to rice, logical combination.

EAT MEAT OR EGGS WITH STARCHY FOODS

By pr. Lorne A. Summers, director of
 gymnasium. Armour Co.,
 Many people, on being advised to cut down on the protein food, have gone to the other extreme and tried to live almost entirely on diet com posed of starchy foods, with the result that they produced a condition nearly as bad as that which they tried to remedy The best rule we can go by Is to eat moderately of a mixed diet, or which grains. vegetables and fruits comprise the larger part.
 The Hindu, owing to religious be- lief. lives on strictly vegetable diet, or which rice forms the major part. And. although many Hindus are found who possess superior intellectual deYelopm ent. l have vet to learn of

China-Rich Yet Helpless.
From the World Outlook

No man has computed them. There is enough coal in the one province of Shansi to last the entire world for some hun dreds of years. China has also great iron mines The copper mines of Szechwan and Yunnan are very rich and may make China the greatest copper producing na- ton in the world She is now producing a large amount of antimony. There are possibilities of gold and silver in north China and in the mountains of eastern Tibet
 There are even unheard of possibilities in Chinese agriculture. Their land is constantly enriched and irrigated, and after 5000 years the Chinese farms still av- craze from two to four crops a year.

LOCAL VETERAN CANADIAN ARMY
 RETURNS HOME
Raymond Thompson, One of Four Survivors of His Bat
 taliOn, Talks of War.

Raymond E. Thompson, son of Mrs. Elizabeth Thompson, 915 West Twen- tieth avenue, member of the Cana dian army since 1917, has received his discharge and returned to his home here.
 Unable to get in the United States army as a volunteer, Thompson says "all the boys leaving" made him de- termined to get into the war some how, and he went to Canada and en- listed there in the Canadian army. After a short period of training there, his battalion was sent abroad, and after two weeks training in France, was sent into the battle line.
 He was engaged in most of the large battles in the latter days of the war, and is one of four survivors of his battalion. Though he received several flesh wounds, he stated he didn't go out of the line to have them dressed and recorded.
 :" 'The Sisters," he said s'Swould have laughed at me if I had brought up a flesh wound to be dressed" MT. Thompson will remain in Pine Bluff where he expects to return to his work soon. ru
