HOW TO CLIP WING OF FOWL
Cornell Experiment Station Outlines
Plan for Performing Operation
Without Disfiguring.

When fowls won't stay inside the
fence, wings have to be clipped, to
protect the garden and flower beds.
The Cornell experiment station recon-
mends the following plan for clipping
the wing so it will stay clipped with
out disfguring the fowl:
Remove few feathers around the
second joint. Spread the wing out to
its full width and you will see just be-
meath the skin on the outer edge of
the second joint small white liga-
ment or cartilage. Insert small knife
blade under the ligament and cut it in
two, pulling upward and outward on
the knife. Then cut piece from the
end of the cartilage one-sixteenth Of
an inch long. This may be done with
a pair of scissors or with knife The
object in removing this section is so
the cartilage will never grow together
again. Since no major arteries are en-
eountered, you will find this a very
simple and practically bloodless oper-
alton.

CUT OPERATING
TRACTOR COSTS
Mech Depends on Depreciation,
Fuel, Repairs and Upkeep, In
terest and fabrication.
VARIES ON DIFFERENT FARMS
Expense OF Operating Thrce-Plow
Machine is Considerably Greater
Than for Smaller implements,
but Does More Work.

prepared by the United States Department
Of Agricultural
Every farmer who owns tractor
naturally is interested in the cost of
operating his machine and in reduc-
ing that cost wherever possible. Cost
Of use, according to Investigations
made in corn belt farms by the United
States Department of Agriculture, de-
ponds chiefly on depreciation, fuel, re-
pairs and upkeep, interest, and lubri-
eating OIL The relative Importance
of these elements of cost may vary
in different sections and on different
farms in the same locality, but they
make up the greater part OIL the cost
Of using the tractor, and the POSSIBLE
tiles of reducing the cost of use lie
almost entirely in cutting down the
size Of these items.
Cost of Operation.
While the cost per year and per day
Of operating three-plow machines is
considerably greater than for two
pillow machines, the greater amount of
work done by the larger outfits, at
least on drawbar operations, makes
the cost per unit of work approximate
ly the same for both sizes.
Depreciation is wholly dependent
upon the length Of life and the first
cost Of the machine. The deprecia-
tion costs as determined by the de-
partment's Investigations are based on
a. first cost of $500 and a life of ga
years for two-plow machines and of
$500 and seven years for three-plow
machines. The depreciation cost for
the two-plow outfit per year is given
as $7S; for one day, $2.41; for the
three-plow outfit per year, $129; and
per day, $4.53.
Fuel and Oil Costs.
Fuel and Oil costs are dependent on
the amount of work done, and while
this cost may be large for the season
it will not be out of proportion to the
work done. From the same investiga.
lions fuel and oil costs for the two
plow outfit was given as 800 per year
and $3.06 per day; for the three-plow
outfits sos per year and S3.19 per
day. Interest on the small machines
amounts to SIT per year and on the
larger ones $31. Repairs and upkeep
costs are influenced by the care ard
attention given to the tractor and the
ability of the operator to do his own
repairing. In these Investigations
there have been found to be S35 for
the small machines per year and $33
for the larger ones Other costs on
the average will amount to not far
from 5 per. cent of the total cost of
operating the tractor
The annual depreciation. repair and
interest charges do NOT increase in
proportion to the amount of work
done per year; consequently the daily
cost of these items will be least for
machines which do the greatest
amount of work.

ASPARAGUS NEEDS GOOD BED
Should Be Located Where Soil Is Deep
and Where Cultivation Will
Not Interfere.

No spot in the garden is more valu-
able than the asparagus bed. 1t should
be located where the soil is deep, and
where it will not be in the way when
cultivating other crops, as it Is perma-
nent. Because it is to stay in the same
spot for years the soil should be well
prepared before 1t is planted. Dig out
deep and mix well with partially rotted
manure so there will be ample humus
in the lower soil, and then plant the
roots-which should be two years old
at least-spreading them evenly all
around and covering with five or six
inches of soil.

PUREBRED SIREs WIN FAVOR
Encouraging Increase Reported In
Number Of Improved Bulls In
Wisconsin County.

In 1918 only 800 of the 1,257 bulls in
service in Winnebago county, Wis.,,
were purebred, according to reports to
the United States Department of Agri-
culture. After two years of better-sires
work the number of purebred sires had
increased to 645. At the end Of the
third year the assessors records
showed TIT purebred bulls in the coun-
ty. This record shows that at the be-
ginning of 1922 over half of the bulls In
service in the county were purebred.
