Farm Machinery Receives
Anything but Good Care

Farm machinery represents a large
investment on the part of American
farmers, but still 1t represents the one
thing which gets the least care on the
farm. The automobile, even the cheap
little flivver. is built to withstand the
ravages Of the elements much better
than is the farm machine. StIl. In
nearly every instance. we find the little
$500 fiivver under the roof OF $500
garage while the $1,000 tractor or the
81 200 thresher stands out In the lot
for the winter. There's nothing logical,
economical nor sound about the whole
business and until we adopt some
policy which embraces the better care
OF our tools OF production on the farm.
we can expect to be burdened down
By our own overhead costs. The rem
edy is slowly being applied, but there's
still lots OF room for improvement and
plenty Of room for a good implement
shed on every farm.

Ice Cold Water Will
Decrease Milk Flow
Good for Cooling Product,
but Retards Production.

ice water is excellent for cooling
milk. but It is no good for producing
Il, . says E. J. Perry. dairy specialist
at the New Jersey State College Of
Agriculture.
"A COW producing 40 pounds Of milk
per day requires approximately 100
pounds Of water. and will drop on sew
eral pounds In production If compelled
to drink Ice water. The effect upon
digestion and milk secretion Is always
detrimental.
For a few dollars an OH tank heat
er can be purchased at most hardware
stores Such a heater when correctly
used win keep water at a proper tenn
perature. so that the cows VIII drink
a sufficient amount 10 enable them to
make milk to the limit OF their ability.
assuming that the grain and roughage
are sufficient In quantity and quality.
1t is well for the temperature OF the
water to run from so to 60 degrees. A
producing herd should be watered
twice each day. II is difficult for a
heavy-milking COW to drink enough
water at one time to take proper care
Of her daily milk and maintenance re-
quirements. This is especially true In
winter. Milk is 81 per cent water and
frequency In drinking best insures
heavy consumption In dairy cows.
To-day the individual drinking cups
found in many up-tO-date dairy barns
greatly simplify the problem Of water
ing TheSe. by enabling cows to drink
small Quastlties of water frequently,
make the warming of the water I'M
necessary. No part of the dairy barn
equipment yields bigger returns on the
cost price than properly installed
drinking cups"

Advance in Farm Wages
Was Noted During Year

Farmers were required 10 pay higher
wages to male farm labor during 1923
than In the two preceding years. the
United States Department OF Agricul-
ture reports. The average rate per
month with board In 1923 was S33.1S,
in 1922 it was $29.17, and in 1914
the rate was s21.O5. The average
monthly rate without board in 1928
was s46.91. in 1922 it was s41.7D, and
In 1914 the rate was $29.SS.
Day wages for harvest labor, with
board averaged s2.45 in 1923, as com.
pared with 1920 In 1922 and with
$1.55 in 1914: For farm labor other
than at harvest time the rate per day
with board was $1.93 in 1923, as com
pared with $165 in 1922. and with
$1.13 In 1914.
The peak year in wages Of farm
labor in recent years was 1920. the
department points out. The defiation
OF general prices then began and farm
wage rates continued to decline until
the fall OF 1922, when an upward trend
developed.
