HIGH PRICES MAKE NECESSARY
CARE OF LEATHER EQUIPMENT

The continued high price of leather
make it wise precaution on the mar
of the farmer to put his leather equip
ment into good working condition be.
fore the spring rush starts. Proper
ly selected leather more than repays
in good service the care spent upon
it and reduces materially the amount
the farmer must expend on this one
item.
Specialists in the Bureau Of Chem
istry, United States Department of
Agriculture, have learned that the
durability of machine belts, driving
belts, harness, and other leather ar
ticles used by the farmer can be
greatly increased after judicious Sc
lection in the first place by giving
them the care that will strengthen
and preserve them.
Boots and shoes will last longer and
will keep the feet dry if well greas-
ed during the wet season, while the
serviceability Of harness is rendered
greater by careful cleaning and oiling
three or four times a year. Sugges-
lions to lengthen the life Of leather
goods are given in Farmers Bulletin
1888, The Care of Leather, which may
De obtained from the department upon

AVERAGE FEBRUARY WEATHER
ABOUT SAME AS JANUARY

AS rule the average temperature
for February differs only slightly
from that of January, according to
records of the Weather Bureau, Unit
ed States Department of Agriculture.
Cold waves frequently sweep down
from the British northwest during
this month and sometimes bring ex-
| tremely cold weather. During the
memorable wave of February, 1889,
ried southwark to some localities
along the east Gulf coast. Twenty
five degrees below zero have been re-
corded during this month as far south
as Kansas and Missouri. However,
toward the latter part of February
there is usually noticeable warming
up, particularly in the Southern
States; along the immediate Gulf
coast killing frost does not occur as
a rule after the Goth of the month.
Throughout the Plains States and
at the lower elevations of the Rocky
Mountain and Plateau regions precip
itation usually continues light in
dHOuul, IuS average lOl cUl udiy
ranging from about 05 to 1 inch, oc-
curing usually in the rorm of snow.
In the Pacific Coast States the rainy
season continues during February,
but the amounts are somewhat small
er than in January in the northern
portion and considerably smaller in
the central and southern portions.
Precipitation is infrequent during
February between the Mississippi Ri
yer and the Rocky Mountains, the
average number of days with 0.O1 inch
or more ranging from less than 8 to
about 6. 1t is rather frequent in the
Northeast, especially in the, eastern
Lake region, where precipitation &C.
ours on about IL days Of the month,
while along the extreme northern Pa
cific coast two-thirds of the days, on
the average, have rainfall.
