EFFICIENT THRESHING HINTS
Uniform, but Not Too Rapid Feeding
Constant Speed of Machine
and Adjustment.

A few points to keep in mind for
efficient threshing are: uniform feed
ing, not too rapid feeding, constant
speed of the machine, and proper ad-
justment. Many times when a thresh-
erman is anxious to complete his job,
the work is rushed through at consid-
cradle loss to the owner of the grain.
Greater personal interest in each job
usually makes the small threshing out
fit more desirable than the large one.
With the large outfit part of the
crew is usually long distance from
home and they do not have the same
interest in the work as when the en-
tire crew is made up of men on ad-
jacent farms.

INEZ

7 NEE has sanity origin since 1t
L is derived from the Greek word
agnos, meaning sacred" pure" and
comes into usage through the Latin
word for lamb which is agnus. The
lamb was the symbol of the Roman
maiden whose place of martyrdom
named the Church Of Saint Agnese.
Pilgrimages are made there and it is
said that the gentle saint has appeared
to supplicants, in human guise with
a lamb of purest whiteness by her
side. Each year, two lambs are
brought to the pope and blessed In
the Church of Saint Agnese; then
they are shorn and the wool is spun
and woven by the nuns into pals
presented by the pope to each pri-
mate.
Agnes or Agnese, is in popular
usage as n proper name in England,
France and Germany. Portugal Is
responsible for Inez. Soft as Agnese
u.s. 1t did not please the Portuguese,
who changed it first to Ines, indi-
eating the liquid sound of ign" by the
cedilla. Later it became Inez and
named the Inflated Inez de Castro,
whose doom made 1t famous above all
Portuguese feminine names.
Ines and Inez flourished for CEN
turtles there before they were brought
to England, and without being angll-
cized were used as British names up-
reservedly. The diminutive which
the Portuguese had evolved, Inesila,
was left in it's native land as being
too Latin for English adoption. Italy,
too, rejected it, preferring Agnese, but
also adding it's own Agnete and Ag-
neSca.
Thomas Hood wrote charming
lyric to Fair Ines:
"Oh saw We not fair Ines?
She's gone into the West,
To dazzle when the sun is down,
And rob the world of rest;
She took our daylight with her,
The smiles that we love best,
With morning bushes on her cheek,
/ And pearls upon her breast"

stone; "the chrysolite of sunrise"
wrote Shelley. If worn upon the left
arm and set in gold, it will drive away
all evil and protect It's wearer from
contagion. Thursday is Inez' lucky
day and her lucky number The
chrysanthemum, signifying cheerful
ness, is her flower.
