too much time talking when they stop
occasionally to let the teams rest. A
good practice when two or more ma
chimes are used Is for each driver
to lay Off "land" for himself and
work Independently, so there will be
no interference from other machines.
Side Delivery Rake ls Best.
Do not turn hay by hand. 1t is too
costly. The cheapest and most efficient
way Of stirring hay in the windrow Is
with a two-horse tedder One man
with a tedder will do more work than
IL men stirring with hand forks. 1t
Is not even necessary to have a man
to run the tedder A boy big enough
to drive a team will do just as much
work.
A one-horse rake operated by a man
makes raking very costly. A two-horse
sulky rake 10 better, but the sidede-
livery rake IL best. When curing Is
done In the swath and q hay loader
II used the crew can start taking the
hay from the windrow as soon as the
side delivery has made one double win
drow across the field. If the sulky
rake is used, the crew will have TO
wait until the rake has gone several
times across the field. In this matter
the extent Of the haying operations has
TO be considered, Of course. On very
small farms the use Of the sldede-
livery rake might not be economy.
n the weather Is clear and the hay
is in proper condition, there will be
no necessity for hay caps or for
further labor till the hay is hauled.
But hay caps will pay for themselves
in one year when the weather Is bad.
They are more especially needed with
clover, alfalfa, and pea vines, all of
which cure slowly.
If hay Is to be punched, the hand
method Is too expensive. A two-horse
sullIy rake can bunch 30 acres or more
n day and hoy can drive II Just as
well as man. Even more labor can
be saved, however, by using the push
rake 10 bunch hay after IL has been
raksd into the windrow. II is good

"Have you thought of sprayingT
I'D like to, but / can't afford the

"Same here"
The two farmers then put their
heads together and did some thinking.
A spraying outfit with motor and
force pump costs more than either OF
them could afford, but 1t would not be
In operation more than few hours,
or most days, In any one orchard. 1t
y
farm orchards in the season when
spraying is effective, and 1t was easy
to call to mind many farmers in the
vicinity who were in the same position
as themselves. OF course, it would
have been possible for one man to OBJ
tain capital, buy sprayer, and cover
all the orchards, but they were In the
farming business and not the COM
mercial spraying business. Another
plan suggested itself, and here Is the
way IL worked out:
Brown and Jones called meeting
Of 20 orchard owners and selected one
man with good executive ability as
secretary and manager Of cO-Opera-
tive spray ring. A simple constitu-
ton and bylaws were drawn up, and
a plan of stock subscriptions was for
mulated. With very moderate per
capita investment a machine was pur
chased with a capacity Of five gallons
a minute. The machine was driven
by two-horsepower engine and
equipped with tank filler. The sec
ICluiy uuuubCI was piuSCu III Nhui Sc
of the machine and authorized to hire
such help as necessary, being given
adequate pay for his own time. Boys
taking the agricultural course In the
nearby high school were engaged for
the work and were given time from
their studies In consideration Of the
instructive value of the experience.
Peters, the secretary manager, fortu-
nately proved the right man for the
job and obtained from the United
States Department of Agriculture bull
letins and other information on spray
schedules and formulas.
The work commenced as soon as
the apple buds began to show pink,

carefully prepared route. so as to

CHIEF CAUSE OF SWARMING
Lack Of Ventilation and Space for
Queen Bee to Lay Eggs En-
courage RestIessness. -

The main causes leading to swarm
Ing are lack Of ventilation, lack Of
space for the queen bee to lay eggs,
insufficient room for storing honey,
and over-abundance of drones or
queen bee that has become too old.
To prevent swarmIng therefore, these
conditions must be avoided, suggests
the Extension Service Bookkeeping
specialist. The queen alone is normal
ly capable of laying eggs, and for
this reason swarming is necessary to
make new colonies and perpetuate the
race. The old queen always comes

REDUCE LOSSES IN SHIPPING
and Packing Spinach 10 Urged
by Specialists.

Losses in long-distance shipments
Of spinach can be greatly reduced by
careful handling In harvesting and
packing together with effective re-
frigeration in transit, according to
specialists of the bureau Of markets
Of the United States Department of
Agriculture. Decay and deterioration
in transit caused by the development
Of Shiny soft rot cause serious losses
to shippers in some sections.
"This decay develops rapidly in
transit when temperature conditions
are favorable" say investigators of
the bureau. 1T starts at places where
wounded, and 1t very frequently fol-
lows attacks of blight or other field
diseases. Other causes of deteriora-
ton in transit are following and wilt
ing Of the leaves. Prompt handling
and shipment at a low temperature
largely reduce losses from these
causes"
When barrels are used, II is advis-
able to scatter crushed Ice In several
layers through the container, a large
layer being placed on top of the spin
ach next to the barrel head. Holes
bored In the bottom Of the barrel pro-
vide drainage. Shipments In baskets
or crates carry best with layer of
crushed Ice In the center OF the con-
tainer and another layer on top of
the spinach just under the cover.

ment OF Agriculture)
The hay crop, even when the labor
supply 10 normal, causes more worry,
anxiety, and disappointment than any
other crop. The time for harvesting is
comparatively short. Other crops re-
Quire attention at the same time. And
the weather is to be reckoned with.
A great deal Of labor IL wasted every
year during hay harvest. say special
lists Of the United States Department
of Agriculture, not because Of actual
idleness on the part Of the workers,
but because labor is expended unnec-
essarily on operations that do not
utilize II to the best advantage. II an
old method can be superseded by
new one that will enable the same
number of men to accomplish more
work In the same length Of time, or
fewer men to accomplish the same
work in the same length Of time. 1t
will mean more hay saved, more
profit to the farmer. and q better con-
dition for the country.
Shift Burden from Man to Horse.
Although there 10 a scarcity Of man
labor, there are still plenty Of horses
on most farms, and herein largely lies
the solution Of the problem. On farms
where considerable hay Is grown
methods must be adopted by which the
greater part Of the heavy labor 10 done
by horses. This will necessitate the
general use Of certain types Of labor
saving machinery, some Of them not
so common in the East. which have
been thoroughly tested and proved
satisfactory In the western part Of the
United States. The small hay grower,
however need not make q very heavy
investment In new haying apparatus,
for by rearranging the working Of his
crew and using a little more horse
labor for the hard work he can add
considerably to the efficiency Of his
crew.
Here are some suggestions made by
the specialists for avoiding of labor
In haymaking.
Do not run two or more mowers
close together If the front mower has
any trouble that causes 1t to stop, all
Of the mowers usually wait while re-
pairs are made on one. There Is a
tendency, also, for drivers to waste

Out Of Sight.

Two farmers were having an argu-
ment and little bet as to which of
them possessed the best wife-or
rather, which wife made the money go
the farthest.

er, ''how little my wife spends
on household necessities. You come
and stay with us for few weeks, and
see for yourself. You will soon see
how true my statements are"

No Tides In the Great Lakes.

There are no recognized tides In the
Great Lakes similar to what occur in
the oceans, for the reason that those
bodies of water are too small and
irregular. Occasionally, however, tidal
waves occur in one or more of
the lakes, due to atmospheric condi-
tons, such as great differences in at
mospheric pressure and the prevalence
of gales.
