Must Care for Farm Tools.

Recently we have crossed several states and made many notes in our note book. On numerous pages we find such comments as "farm machin- cry on ditch banks, tools and imple- ments under trees, machinery rusling cut" Until recent years farm tools, implements and machinery have been 50 cheap and plentiful that prosperous farmers could afford to be a little careless in housing and caring for such equipment. Now the original cost. the cost of repairs, the loss of time and so on make it highly profit able to house, repair, and properly care for all farm machinery, Prom the Progressive Farmer.

 as we can to see who can find the most grain and you would be sur- prised to know how much more some of us get than others. Some hens are like some people; they are too lazy to work for what they get to eat. but
 Mrs. Brown soon sells these lazy ones or has a chicken dinner. Mrs. Brown knows that we need exercise and that is why she feeds us in the litter and it sure makes us feel happy

tBy Mrs. r. J. Greiner)

I am a bullet that a farmers wife has taken good care of all spring and summer. She has given me plenty to eat and drink and these, together with the bugs and worms 1 have found in the nice range I had in the woods, have made me grow fast and now am large and strong and fat, and am laying many eggs to repay her for what she has done for mo.
 Now there's bullet just across the fence from me who was hatcned the same day was and she is my full cousin, too, but you would never dream she was the same age and blood as I. Why, l weigh pounds and she weighs only 1. My feathers are smooth and glossy and hers look rough and ragged; my comb looks red and large and hers is pinched and pale and l feel so happy l sing and sing, but she does not seem very happy.
 Mrs. Black, her mistress, was out m her chicken yard few days ago and eur mistress had just gathered tho eggs and stopped to chat at the fence for minute, and what do you suppose she said?
 T can't see, Mrs. Brown, why your bullets are so much larger than mine and lay so well and mine have never laid an egg yet, 1 guess l better get some eggs from you next spring to set as l believe yours must be better stock than mine the way they grow and lay"
 The ideal Better stock just wish I could talk, and this is just what l would say: Mrs. Black, it will make no difference what kind of eggs you get, your chickens will not lay with the treatment you give them. You stint and starve them along from the day they are matched and you can't starve eggs out of hens, no diff ference what breed they are. Hens in their natural state laid about twelve eggs in the spring like other wild birds, but men have made them lay in winter and all the year thru. which Is against nature, and has been brought about by scientific feeding and care. That is just what Mrs. Brown gives us and you do not give my cousins. Mrs. Brown gave me sour milk to drink from the time l was 6 day old till now. She also kept dry mash where l could go to fl whenever I wished. She fed me grain

and contented and if we don't feel happy we won't lay. Last but not least she gives us plenty of clean water to drink and always washes out the pan every time instead of pouring some water into the dirty water that is left, as you do. She understands that to get good results the water pan
 must be cleaned and reflled three times day. More people keep their hens from laying by being stingv with the water than any other way. I'm glad s don't belong to any of thems I'm big and fat and happy and I'll have my feed paid for before my poor little cousin can lay an egg. ail because you tried Co be saving with the feed and did not know how.

ON TRAINING or OUR YOUNG
 The Star in this issue is featuring an article by James ]. Davis, Secre- tary of Labor of the United States, one of the series of articles secured thru the Community News Service of Chicago, all from men of prominence in national and world affairs, and on subjects that interest a vast majority of thinkiny Americans. 1t is fair to assume that Secretary Davis ideas, as here given, are based on knowledge possessed by him which fitted him for his present high position, as well as from things he has learned in that position.
 In this day when so much thought is given to the education and develop ment of the young, the conclusions of such man are doubly valuable, and The Star rejoices in securing them first hand for it's renders.
 The next of these articles, to be given soon, will be on "obligaticns of Americans" as told by Lemuel Bolles national adjutant of tho American Legion. It is said of Mir. Bolles that he talks like a soldier fights straight from the shoulder"

At these low prices and with the
prices of gasoline, kerosene, and
lubricating oil reduced to practically
the same level as existed before the
war, tractor power is made much
more economical than animal power,
even at the present low prices for hay
and feed, said an international dis
tributor in Americas. Especially is
this true when the relative efficiency
of the two kinds of power are con-
sidered. The present tractors, while
selling at lower prices. are consid-
erably improved over the models
of a few years ago, while horses
have had no corresponding improve
ment. AS matter of fact, it is
said by well posted horsemen that
good horses are extremely scarce and

each year because the demand for
