father finally helped him take it over
and then followed months and months
of struggle and hard work to keep it
going. At times he had to do every
thing from setting the type to writing
the news and printing the paper on
press that had to be turned by hand.
But that story is too long to tell to-
night. The result of his hard work has
been that the Star today is big

bought for any price. There are more

PROTECT YOUR EYES

Would you sell your eyesf OF course

them very rapidly.
Not long ago we substituted the cleo

coal oil lamp. We think we have won.
derful lighting systems. According to
Forrest Knapp of Colorado Agricuitur-
al college, the glare due to the use of
the incande*ent lamp is so great that
it may counteract all of the good eff
fects OF increased Intensity of illumin-
alton. Did you ever notice any dis
comfort from having an electric light
in your field of vision? Do your eyes
become tired more easily at night than
in the day time?
There are two main ways in which
modern lighting is done, directly and
indirectly. With indirect lighting the
source of illumination cannot be seen
but the light is reflected from the walls
and ceiling, but when direct lighting is
used the source may be seen. The lat
ter is the more common
If your eyes hurt we get a larger
globe and move it closer to our work
Theoretically this should be done. But
how about experience?
Ii has been proven that after three
hours work the efficiency of the eye
is but little less when indirect lighting
is used. The efficiency of the eye after
three hours work in daylight is about
9S per cent. When an Indirect light il
used the efficiency IS about 81 per cent
Not much difference. But when direct
lighting is used this efficiency drops tt
about Is per cent.
The intensity of illumination has lit
tie effect when indirect lighting is uset
but u very great effect when the source
of light is in the field of vision. Th,
number of indirect lights does not de
crease the efficiency to any noticeabl,
degree but when direct lighting is usec
the efficiency drops rapidly with an in
crease in the number of lighting units

HOW TO AVOID JAR BREAKAGE

Do not place cold Jars, either filled
or untitled, in hot water.
DO not place hot Jars in cold water.
Do not overpack jars which are to
be processed. Some products like corn,
pumpkin, peas, lima beans, and sweet
potatoes, swell in processing. Pack jar
chly to within oue-half inch of top.
DO not allow draft of cold air to
strike jars when they are removed from
the Gamer
The wire bail should not fit too
tightly or the jar will break when the
lever is forced down.
All new jars should be tempered be
fore using. To do it, put them in cold
water sufficient to cover them and
bring to a boil.-United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.

In these days of drastic headlight
laws, state and municipal motorists

the kind. The following formula is
used for making the frosting solution

THRESHING MACHINES MUST
BE KEPT IN GOOD REPAIR

Any standard make of tmeshing ma
chine is capable of doing satisfactory
work if kept in good repair and operat-
ed intcllgently, according to special
its of the United States Department
of Agriculture. Clean grain and small
losses depend more than anything else
upon the skill and judgment of the OPP
orator. Here are few rules The
wheat thresher should observe careful
iy:
Study the instruction book ,ent out
by the manufacturer and follow the
suggestions closely.
See that the separator is set level
crosswise and lengthwise.
The speed of the cylinder teeth as
approximately 5000 ieet a minute. This
may be modified slightly up or down
IN different machines and with differ
ent grains. In general the rule is cor
rect.
Greater part OF the separation is done
IN the cylinder and Immediately after
the grain passes through it.
Use as few concave teeth as neces
sary to thresh all the grain from the
head. Two rows of teeth set high are
better than four rows set low.
Crates give the best separation when
set as high as possible
The makeup of the tailings deter.
mines the character of the work done
by the sieves.

less pitcher with self feeder viii
cause any machine to do poor work,
The bundles should be fed heads first
and straight. 1t is important that the
feed be steady and in a continuous
stream. DO not crowd one moment and
let run empty the next. Damp, tough
straw can not be fed as fast as dry
straw.
On a mechanical feeder see that the
governor is set and working properly.
