PROPER CARE OF MACHINERY
Various Implements Should Be Kept
in Repair and Breakage Reduced
to Minimum.

Nowadays when machine breaks
it Is not only the cost of replacement
to be considered. but the machine may
be out of service for several days or
weeks because the dealers stock of
parts is low and completely out on
some items.
And 1t isn't the dealers fault, either,
in most cases. He has orders in for
short stock parts, but ordering is one
thing and getting orders filled is some-
thing else, as all machinery dealers
and their customers know to their sor-
row.
All farm machinery should be kept
painted. Reduce breakage to the mini
mum. Parts will break often enough
when machines are handled with the
utmost care. but just now, when re-
placements are so expensive and so
difficult to get promptly regardless Of
price, the least the farmer can do is to
guard against this unnecessary weak
ening of essential equipment, by allow
ing rust to set in on It,

SM0KEH0USE IS
FARM ESSENTIAL
Late War Responsible for Re-
vivaI of Old Custom of Farm
ers Curing Meat Supply.
CONCRETE IS MOST DURABLE
Good Type for General Purposes is
Shown In IIlustratIon-Has Been
In Use Three Seasons and
More Than Paid for Itself.

The old-time custom of home curing
meats, revived during the war has
been given added impetus in the last
few years and many farmers are ac-
lively engaged in preparing their sur
plus supply for table and sale.
There is no reason why every farm
should not have a modern smokehouse
and the resulting supply of well-cured
meats on hand through the winter sea-
son. Prices for old country hams make
1t worth any farmers time to lay in as
big supply as possible.
Solid Concrete 10 Best.
Many types of smokehouses are in
use, ranging from the old type of a
barrel with one head knocked out to
the most modern and pretentious af-
fairs of solid concrete with double pad-
locked doors. The latter type is grow
ing steadily in popular favor because
Of Its many natural advantages. A con-
crete smokehouse affords permanency,
protection, better quality products and
has big economic advantage through
the fact that 1t is f1reproof and re-
quires no upkeep expense from one
season to the next.
A good type for general purposes Is
shown In the accompanying illustra-
tion. The smokehouse has been In op-
Grafton for three seasons and has more
than Iaid for itself already with many
more years of usage ahead.
1t Is built of concrete blocks with a
wooden peak roof. Many other farm
ers, however, are building the roofs of

CLUB MEMBERS AS FARMERS
Eight Boys in Minnesota County Be-
come SuccessfuI-Producing Live
Stock and Crops.

That many farm boys who enroll
as club members in the production of
live stock and crops become success
full farmers is demonstrated in the
case of eight young men living in
Itaska county, Minnesota, who carried
on club demonstrations from three to
four years. According to report to
the United States Department of Agri-
culture four of them are now en-
gagged in general farming. three of
whom are growing certified potato
seed. one is dairy farmer. two are
students at Minnesota College of Agri-
culture, and one II studying for the
ministry.

GIVE HARNESS PROPER CARE
Mixture Of Neat's-Foot and Castor Oil
is Recommended With AppIica-
'tf tion Of Grease.

Neat's-foot or castor oil or a mix
ture of these with wool grease is good
for driving harness. For heavy har-
ness use mixture of any or all of
these with wool grease to make
paste, having about the consistency
of butter. Apply the grease lightly to
driving harness and literally to work
harness. Rub the oil or grease, warm
to the hand, thoroughly into the leath-
er while 1t Is still damp from washing
After the harness has hung in warm
room overnight, remove with a clean
dry cloth the excess of oil which the
leather is unable to take up.

PASTURES OF TILLABLE LAND
Erroneous impression That Rough,
Thin Soil Is Good for Grass
to Feed Animals.

More pasture anf better pasture is
the paramount need on many farms
where there are animals. There has
been an erroneous impression that
farmers must have rough, very thin or
otherwise cheap land for pasture.
The facts are some Of the most ex-
pensive and most fertile land on some
farms would pay better in pasture
than In the ordinary field crops now
being grown on 1t. simply because pro-
ducing feed and harvesting and feed
ing is too expensive. Why not let
the animals do their own harvesting
and feed themselves, using crops that
need no cultivation? 1t will pay on
some farms.

before the sale the local papers run
articles on the value of 7urebred sires.
In that state 1t has been found that
better results are obtained from the
county sale than from sales covering a
larger section or from state sales.
Farmers are more apt to attend the
sales where they can haul the pur-
chases home or ship only short dis
tance. At number of these sales the
number of sires sold has varied from
20 to 60. One of the big advantages
Is that good blood produced in the
county remains there and improves
the general run of live stock instead
of being scattered far and wide.

as an important aid in the Better Sires
