Mr. Shank replied by waving document

had cheated them out OF SGT IN a real

SHORT LIFE OF FARM TOOLS
Farmer Must Stand Pretty High Acre

Saving Devices.

The life Of farm tools Is short at
the best and II tool is given shelter
Its life depends upon the number Of
acres It has covered. II the tool Is
left out all winter Its life is not de-
pendent upon the number of acres 1t
covers but upon how long 1t can re-
sist the elements. It may be interest
ing to know the average life Of some
common tools. A manure spreader Is
useful. on the average, eight years;
the sulky pillow Is good for twelve
years of hard work, while the average
life of moving machines, side deliv-
cry rakes and gas engines Is twelve
years. If person will take the first
cost and then add on to 1t the interest
on the investment and annual depre-
citation. taxes, etc., then divide this
sum by the number of acres he has
used 1t over. in most cases he will
find that he has pretty high acre
charge on most Of the tools he keeps.
Grain binders will show an acre
charge Of about sixty cents; grain
drills twenty-six cents; corn planters
twenty-five cents; hay leaders seventy
Ave cents and disk harrows forty-ive
cents.

.CANADA8ICW|NNER
Captures Many Prizes at Lead
ing American Fairs.
Remarkable Showing Made at Interna-
tionaI Live Stock Show at Chi
caoo-carried OF Sweepstakes
For All Wheat.

Something that lends emphasis to.
and affords definite proof Of, the gen.
crosby OF the soil and climate of
western Canada, is shown by the
numerous exhibits made by both the
government and individual farmers
and stock raisers of that country, at
many of the leading state and county
fairs in the United States this season.
Particularly is this the case with re-
gard to exhibits made at the Inter
national Live Stock Show recently
held at Chicago.
First and foremost to the average
farmer will appeal the fact that
Canada carried of the sweepstakes
for oil wheat, and that out OF a total
of twenty-five prizes, Canada took
twenty. In oats the Grand Champion
ship was won by farmer living I'm
the Province of Alberta. Canada also
was awarded the championship for
Durum wheat, while for Flint Corn out
of total of ten prizes, Canada took
first, second, third, sixth and seventh.
Not only In grains did Canada prove
cultural country, but she carried of
many prizes for cattle, horses, sheep
and hogs, a partial list Of which fol-
lows:
Cattle, Canada was awarded the
championship for Grade Shorthorns,
also In the College Special class, Can
ada gained first, fourth and sixth
prizes.
Horses. Grand Championship for
Clydesdale stallion. also Grand Cham
plonship for American bred mare, az
well as first for three-year-old Clydes-
dale stallion. first for one-year-old
Clydesdale stallion, and second for
the aged class.
In the Belgian class. Canada OBJ
tanned first and reserve for Champion
ship Belgians, as well as second for
Aged stallion.
Sheep, Canada obtained Champion
ship for block, male and female, In ad-
dition to first prize in all group
prizes.
Hogs. In the Yorkshire class Canada
was very prominent, taking the Cham
pionship for pen OF Yorkshires, and
Championship for best single barrow,
as well as over twenty first. second
and third prizes in other classes of
YOrkshlres.
With regard to the live stock shown
II must be borne In mind that these
have not been fed on corn, on which
the average western farmer places his
reliance, but on the wonderful oats
and barley grown In western Canada,
supplemented by the native grasses.
Of which most artistic display was
made by our neighbors to the north.
Canada has conclusively proved that
not only can she take prizes for the
grain she raises, but can also take
| prizes with the animals to which
these grains have been fed, and this

resourceful occupant Of the mayoral
chair to interpret the custom as relat-
ing to the first three market women,
and henceforward they were the re-
cipients Of the New Year kisses until
the ancient custom vanished alto
gether.
1t Is much to be feared that the
abuse Of kissing customs has been
largely responsible for their falling
into disuse. though some of them are
certainly more honored In the breach
than in the observance.
One such. which used to obtain in
OxfOrdshire, concerned the tenants of
certain estates which they held on
condition that on New Years morning
they publicly kissed the parish pump
or paid drink fine to the assembled
populace.
AS might be supposed, the tenants
almost invariably preferred to pay the
fine, but 1t Is on record that one mis-
guided. close-fisted individual actually
kissed the pump In order to keep the
fine In his pocket.
The populace were so disguised at
his meanness and Infatuated at the
loss Of the liquor that they held him
under. the pump and pumped the wa
ter on him until he was almost washed
away.
The exchange OF drink for kisses
was, in the bad old days, not infre-
quent New Years day practice In pub
lie houses. where 1t sometimes led to
rows and riots among the frequenters.
At one hosiery In the metropolis
II was the custom for the landlord to
hand out to every member Of the OPP
posite sex who called before the hour
Of noon on New Years day a measure
of ale In exchange for kiss.
What the landlords better half
thought of this proceeding report say
eth not.
AT another London public house II
used to be permissible for the first Gus
toner on New Years morning to kiss
the barmaid by way Of paying for his
liquor. But only the first was entitled
to this privilege. and any subsequent
caller who presumed to pay In this
fashion had to forfeit half crown to
the barmaid. One astute Hebe got her
sweetheart to call first and mulcted
several later callers of the customary
half crown In the course of the morn

ness. To determine which Is the more
profitable 1t Is necessary to consider
many facts, among which are the
power requirements. of the farm, the
size Of the power units required, the
quality of work to be accomplished,
the displacement of one form of power
by the application of another, the total
possible utilization of each form of
power. the comparative cost of opera
ton, with the different forms Of power,
the relation between the kind of power
and the effectiveness of farm labor,
and the effect upon the profits Of the
farm as a whole.
The United States Department of
Agriculture has made study OF
power units on number Of represent
alive farms with view to showing
how the various farm operations Gre
ate demands for differentiated power
units, and to what extent power re-
quirements are Influenced by the type
Of farming. The results of this study,

New Year Kissing
Customs
Saluting the Parish Pump

(" HERE has always been close

salutes his sweetheart at the dawn Of
the New Year-and some lovers are

picious occasion.
There is an ancient kissing custom
associated with parish church in
Lancashire. The legend is that any
one who at the first stroke Of mid
night kisses the keyhole Of the church
door. and then runs right round the
edifice In time to kiss the keyhole be-
fore the last stroke Of the hour, is GER

MOST EXCELLENT FOR FORAGE
Most Serious Disadvantage as Pasture

The growing of sorghum for forage
In this country has Increased until the
1918 crop amounted to more than
5.OOOyoO0 acres, according to Farmers
Bulletin 1853, jast issued by the Unit
ed States Department Of Agriculture.
Most of this acreage was located in
the southeastern states and In the
southern half Cf the great plains.
Useful Hay Crop.
Sorghum is most useful as hay
crop in the southern states because Of
its certainty of producing a crop and
on account of the failure of ordinary
hay crops, such as timothy and alfalfa,
In that section. Both the sweet sor-
ghums and the grain sorghums are ex-
cellent silage crops. The department
advises that stockmen In the great
plains area can avoid the loss Of thou
sands of cattle by feeding sorghum
silage which has been stored at small
expense In pit sllos.
The principal varieties Of the sweet
sorghum, considered from a forage
standpoint, are the Minnesota Amber,
Red Amber, Orange, Sumac, Honey
and Gooseneck. The grain sorghums
most valuable for forage are the Black
hull. Red, Pink and Dwarf kafirs.
One Serious Disadvantage.
The most serious disadvantage In
