FALL IS POPULAR
WITH AUTOMOBILE
OWNERS FOR TOURS
Autumn Delightful Season for
Short Trips; Is Most
Healthful OF All.

During its youthful days, and up
until just a few short years ago, the
automobile was considered as only
a summer vehicle, something TO be
put away about the first Of October
and to remain carefully envelOped
in protecting blankets until about
May Of the following year.
But times and manners and Gus
toms have changed wonderfully;
automobiles have just about reached
the acme Of perfection; road build
ing has progressed TO a point where
one my travel far and wide without
discomfort; and the people general
~ have learned much regarding
their health, how to build and how
to keep it. Hence autumn, with its
undertang of the frost to come and
its rainbow robes of matchless
beauty, is now considered the most
delightful and healthful of all the
touring seasons.
This applies chiefly to short-dis-
lance trips. According to the tour
ing bureaus Of the American Auto

route countless thousands of motor
lists to and fro across the land. the
spring season produces the greatest
demand for long-distance or trans
continental information, while mid
summer callers want the shortest
and best route to either mountain or
seaside, using the car solely as a
means of transportation. But it is
during the autum that the health
jaunts are taken.
In the fall nature assumes her
most brilliant garb; the foliage that
has covered the hillsides with a uni
form green all summer now blazes
forth in a thousand shades of orange
and yellow, crimson and purple.
And the air, frequently sultry and
often uncomfortably hot during
July and August, is delightfully."-
cool, the sun not blazing and blind
ing, but welcomed for his genial
warmth, a clear and bracing atmos-
phere replacing the frequent show
ers of midsummer.

WINDBREAK FOR PROTECTION
Should Be Located on Side Of Building
and Yards Against Which Pre-.

Windbreaks for protection OF the
home and buildings should be located
on the side Of the structures and the
stock-feeding yards against which the
prevailing winter winds blow, say for
est specialists Of the United States
Department of Agriculture. II mar
row windbreak Of only a few rows 10
planted, 1t should be several rods dis.
tant from the building or yard. Snow
drifts under the lee Of such a wind
break and lies deep around buildings or
feed lot close to 1t. This drifting may
be partly prevented by planting two
narrow windbreaks parallel to each
other, about two rods apart. Snow
then will drift into, and for the most
part be held in, this intervening space.
Windbreaks for crop protection
should be arranged to protect the crop
from the most damaging winds, which
usually come in the summer. As eff
cient windbreaks give protection along
the surface for a distance of from 10
to 20 times their height, the intervals
between them should be about 15 or 20
times the height Of the trees at their
maturity.

FARMERS MIXING OWN FEEDS
DaIrymen Dissatisfied With CONNER
i claI Materials Are Turning to
Cooperative Buying.

"Farmers are almost universally dis
satisfied with mixed commercial feeds
and are depending more on mixing
their own rations," says Henry Nc
Cough, chairman of the dairy commit
tee of the Illinois Agricultural associa-
ton. He adds: '"They are all inter-
ested In the cooperative buying Of
mill feeds such as bran, cottonseed
meal and gluten and at times when
there Is shortage in roughages in
the purchase Of alfalfa hay"
Commercial mixed feeds ought to
give more satisfactory results because
the manufacturers with their improved
machinery for mixing, large capital
and ability to purchase feeds and
grains In large quantities should be
able to supply satisfactory feed at
a reasonable price. Oat hulls, weed
seeds, chaff and cheap molasses do
not make nourishing or satisfactory
feed and their extensive use by some
mixers has brought these disparaging
remarks from Mr.. McGough.

WORK OF BULL. ASSOCIATION
Missouri Organization Doubled IN
Membership In Two Years Be-
i cause Of It's Usefulness.

Two years ago the United States
Department Of Agriculture and CO.
operating agencies organized a bull
association In Webster county, MO-,
with 81 members. Now there are twice
that many members, due to the sue
cess and usefulness of the association.
Before the association was formed
there were IS bulls owned by the men
who afterwards Joined It Upon the
formation Of the organization the num-
Der Of bulls was reduced by two
thirds, because after the members had
been arranged into blocks, 1t was
found that six bulls were enough.
These were much finer animals how
ever. Judging them by their money
value, the new ones were three or four
times as good as the ones they re-
placed, since the average investment
per bull was $75 before organization,
and $278 after.
Yet, owing to the smaller number OF
bulls needed under the cooperative ar
rangement, the cost per farmer was
but little more. The members had on
the average $43.71 invested In their in
ferior bulls, while the superior bulls
owned by the association cost each
member only $53.45. This $40 In
crease Of cost per member meant a

The lambing season Is the time for

otherwise fastened to the walls of the
sheep shed. These panels permit the
eve to see the other sheep, thus pre-

eve opportunity to get acquaintetl

The lamb that is born strong and
vigorous will need little care. If con-
ditions are not so favorable first-aid
measures will be necessary. In cold
weather lambs become chilled and die,
unless prompt remedies are used.
Wrapping the lamb In hot flannel
cloths which are renewed as often as
necessary, Is an excellent method Of
warming it. Another method Is to
place the lamb for a few minutes in
water as hot as the hand will bear;
then dry with cloths and wrap for an
hour or two in fresh cloths or sheep
