How They Save Farm Labor:
Modern implements Used

With 2S-inch horse-drawn plow,
one man accomplishes from 70 to 80
per cent more than with a single
bottom pillow. One man with a 2S-
inch pillow drawn by a tractor covers
80 to IS per cent more ground in a
day than does a man using six horses
on a horse-drawn pillow of the same
size. A three-bottom pillow drawn by
Il suitable tractor enables one man to
accomplish from So to 20 per cent
more than does the two-bottom plow
drawn by six horses.
These facts were brought out by
about 900 replies to an inquiry ad-
dressed to farmers i'll central Hill
ment, United States department Of
agriculture. Under conditions where
the use of a two-row corn cultivator
is practicable, this machine enables
one man to cover nearly twice as
much ground per day as with one
row cultivator. In the section repre-
scented by replies received by the de-
partment, three horses are most
commonly used on the two-row Gull
tivator and the addition of fourth
horse apparently increases but little
the amount of ground covered per
day.
Such of these farmers as use corn
binders have found the use of this
machine increases the efficiency of
man labor so per cent, on the aver
age, over that achieved when cutting
and shocking by hand. Eighty bush
els, the reports show, is an average
days work for one man when husk-
ing corn from the standing stalk by
hand. e
With respect to the value of a hay
loader. they learned that the use of
this implement reduces by about rs
per cent the time required to put on
load of hay, while the amount of
labor required for unloading into. the
NOW is only little more than half
as great when hayfork is used as
when the work is done by hand.

tivation in north rather than in
south Georgia.
The Mammoth Yellow soy bean is
the best standard sort with which
we are acquainted. There are a good
many varieties possessed or more or
less merit, and there are certainly
quite a number of strains earlier
than the Mammoth Yellow. Among
these may be mentioned the Extra
Early Black, the Ito San Yellow
and the Early Green. The Tar Heel
variety to which you refer is some
what earlier than the Mammoth yell
low. 1t has a dark green foliage
and an upright habit of growth and
will undoubtedly prove popular when
it's merits become better known.
Our thought would be to plant
about three strains of soy beans for
hog grazing. By this arrangement,
varieties would come on in a proper
succession SO as to insure the larg-
est amount of cntinuous grazing
that it is possible to obtain in a
given season. On that account, we
would plant one area to the Early
Black or the Early Dwarf Green, an
other to the Tar Heel or the Ito
San Yellow and the third to the
Mammoth yellow.

Worst Pest in the World

Inc rat IS the WOTSL dIllIIIdl pOSI
in the world.
From it's home among filth it visits
dwellings and StoreroomS to pollute
and destroy human food.
1t carries bubonic plague and many
other diseases fatal to man and has
been responsible for more untimely
deaths among human beings than all
the wars of history.
In the United States rats and mice
each year destroy crops and other
property valued at over 100000, 600.
This destruction is equivalent to
over 10000 men.
j., On many farm, if the grain eat
en- and wasted by rats and mice could
be sold, the proceeds would more
than pay all the farmers taxes.
The common brown rat breeds six
to ten times a year and produces an
average of ten young at litter.
Young females breed when only three
or four months old.
At this rate a pair of rats, breeding
uninterruptedly and without deaths,
would at the end of three years
eighteen generations), be increased
to 359,709,482 individuals.
For centuries the world has been
fighting rats without organization
and at the same time has been feed
ing them and building for them fort
1esses for concealment.
If we are to fight them on equal
terms, say specialists of the Biologi-
cal survey of the United States de-
partment of agriculture, we must
deny them food and hiding places
and must organize to rid commune
ties of them. The department has
devoted a great deal of study to the
problem and is anxious to help in
rat determination, not only by sup
plying bulletins and other printed
matter, but by supplying the advice
of specialists in specific cases.

How to Care for Hen
That Has Become RrOOdY

When hens become broody, they
should be broken up as quickly as
possible, for the sooner this is done
the sooner they will resume laying.
To break hen of broodiness she
should be confined to small coop
raised off the ground, preferably with
a Stat bottom. Give her plenty of
water to drink; she may be fed or
not; as desired. Not much difference
will be found in the time required to
break her of broodiness, whether she
is fed or made to fast, United States
department of agriculture poultry
specialists say. Usually from three
to six days confinement will break
her. but some hens require ten to
twelve days.
. The broody hen will be recognized
by her inclination to stay on the
nest at night, the ruffiing of her
feathers and her picking at any one
who approaches her and by the cluck-
ing noise she makes. The fact that
her broodiness has been broken UP
can be recognized by the disappear
ance Of these symptoms.

Awkward Ways Waste So
Much Enerqy. Here's a Tip

From buttoning shoes to WaShlng
dishes, there is an easy and awk-
ward way of doing all work, as ev-
eryone well knows. Now, along
comes the scientist, who says his
experiments show that, aside from
feeling and looking more comfort
able when you do your work in the
right way, you also save consider
able energy.
This fact is one of several which
recent experiments made by the Of
fee of home economics Of the Unit
ed States department of agriculture
have disclosed. These experiments
have been made for the purpose of
the purpose of determining the en-
ergy requirements of an individual
in the various circumstances of his
daily life and for use in estimating
the amounts and kinds Of food re-
quired by him to meet the needs OF
his body for energy.
1t was found in the homely every
day task of dish washing that, when
"a woman washed dishes on a table
SO low that she was obliged to bend
over, her energy output was 80 cal
cries per hour. When she washed
them on table that was a little
too high for comfort, it required %
calories per hour, while only 81 Gallo
ries were used when the working
surface was Of the right height.
1t doesn't take long to saw off the
legs of table or to put blocks UNI
der it which will make it the right
