SELF-FEEDER FOR CHICKENS
Homemade contrivance Reported to
Department Of Agriculture From
Indiana Agent.

A good homemade self-feeder for
poultry reported to the United States
Department Of Agriculture by the
county extension agent Of Knox coun-
ty, Indiana, is one made of an old
mower wheel, barrel with both ends
knocked out, an old washtub; and a
small platform Of rough boards The
wheel Is first laid on the platform. The
barrel Is then placed on the Wheel
filed with dry mash, and the tub
turned over the top of 1t for a cover. A
barrel should be used which leaves
just enough space between it's edge
and the rim of the'mOwer wheel to al
low room to feed. This prevents the
feed from being scratched outside the
rim.

small loss In power cuts down the
amount Of work done.
In the case of the power-driven ma,
chine, any disorder calls for greater
power to operate 1t. The horses or
the machine furnishing the power
work harder and approximately the
same results are accomplished. Hence
1t is much easier to overlook slight
indisposition on the part of a power
consuming machine than on the part
of the power producer.
If any part through which power is
transmitted is loose, 1t may cause a
reduction of power. The tractor op-
orator should examine his machine
thoroughly every week or ten days to
prevent such loss. A bolt in the crank
case is loose, oil Is lost. The adjust
ment of a valve stem loosens, the
valve Is out of proper time and the
cylinder does not give full power.
The clutch Is not adjusted to take
hold evenly. Slippage here causes
loss of power. Similar leaks may de-
velOp In the fuel system and the fgni-
tion system. Any Of these cause heavy
drains on the power. Usually they
can be quickly repaired If attended to
early. Left too long, they may re-
suit in breakdown involving larger
repair bill and loss of much valuable
time.
The throb and rhythm Of the tractor
should be a part of the operator so
that he detects the trouble in its ear

In seasons of drought, when the
pastures are "burnt up" and the
crops partially or totally ruined, the

Of large part Of his herd-usually
at sacrifice, or buy hlgh-priced feed.

EXPENDITURES INCREASE

Perhaps in no other sport Is
there as much expense as in the
running Of ball team, and the
cost has increased greatly since
the early days Of the game.
There Is an authentic record of
receipts and expenditures Of the
Boston club for the year 1875.
The total receipts for the season
were $37, ,767.O8 and the expenses
were $34, ,5O5.99, which left bal
ance Of $3,261.07. A profitable
season in. those times. Now, fig
ure McGraw's team as an ex-
ample. Two players cost him
$175,OOO without figuring any
thing else. Babe Ruth's salary
alone Is probably twice the
amount Of the total receipts Of
the Boston team back in 1875,
and there were good ball play
ers in those days, too.

The tractor is as responsive to good
treatment as an animal or any other
machine. In the case OF a great many
machines the response TO good treat
ment is not so noticeable. This Is
true because the tractor is a power
furnishing machine, while the average
farm machine consumes power, says
f. II. Gross of the Colorado expert

just right in every way, 1t falls short
in the production of power. This is

After all, one Of the things which
helps a team win is the support of the
homie folk. It's so In all kinds of
sports, particularly baseball. With the
fans full of pep, cheering the athletes
on, 1t Is easier to respond. With the
fans giving the razz, 1t is easier for
the players to drop into slump. Many
baseball games have been won by the

since.

There died at Chantilly. Va, on
June 10, 1894, one of the prime movers
and leaders for American liberty, a
contemporary and co-worker Of Wash

others; namely, Richard Henry Lee.
Richard Henry Lee was born at

countries.
Richard Henry Lee was educated In

birth, yet he was very democratic in

Patrick Henry made his resistance to
