Care of Farm Machinery
Should Interest Farmer

Farm folks no doubt tire of reading
about the care of farm machinery. It
seems to be the open season on this
subject az this time of the year, but
there is just one thing that should
bring the subject closer home right
now than ever before and that is that
it is now that farm folks are com
planning most about the cost of pro-
ducing farm crops and the wide differ
ence in price levels of farm products
and manufactured products. Now is
the time to cut down the overhead and
the item of depreciation on farm equip
ment.

Multiplication of Weeds
Is Something Dreadful

A single plant of pepper grass will
produce $4,000 seeds; dandelion, 49,
600; shepherds purse, $4,000; wheat
thief, 1000; common thistle, $4,000;
camomile, 5000; ragweed, 5000;
purslaine, 375,O0O; plantain, $4,000;
burdock, $4,000.
The Importance of not allowing a
single weed to produce seed cannot be
urged too often. But, If that has been
neglected, burning over the ground in
the fall or winter, or before blowing in
spring will destroy many weed seeds
and save weeks Of labor in raising the
next crop.

Limited Range for Hens
During Severe Weather

Even the farm hen should have her
free range limited in cold weather.
The object of range is to get the nat
ural food for the chickens, in the
shape of live meat, variety of seeds,
ETC., and also the exercise of picking
them up. With the ground frozen hard,
and the wind nearly blowing a bird off
her feet, range is more harm than
good. The hens that stay in we'll
ventilated, light hen house, and scratch
in dry litter, are better Off than the
free-range birds.

Area Test Proves Popular.
Glance over the number of herds
tested for. tuberculosis, and the num-
Der of herds placed under state.fed-
eral supervision, only five in 1920, and
nearly one hundred today. Take into
account that about one hundred pure
bred females were added to new dairy
herds last year. Talk with the mem
bers of the four county breed associa-
tons, and note the interest which
these men are showing in the breed
ing of better dairy cattle. All these
factors point to banner year next
season.
1T has been saiu that prosperity
follows the dairy COW. This statement
should be qualified. Prosperity fol-
lows only when the dairy COW is prop
erly fed, is healthy, is good pro-
Queer, and is a good reproducer.
with these ideas in mind, Green
Lake county breeders have taken ev-
cry precaution that prosperity will
come. They are graduating tubercu-
losis in their dairy herds They are
producing sufficient amounts Of home
grown legumes. They are attempting
to manage properly the dairy cows
already in their herds, and most i'm
portant of all, they are making GER
tain that the offspring of their cows
are going to be better than the cows
themselves"

Corn Profits Increased
by Heavier Fertilizing

Dean r. L. Watts, Pennsylvania
State college, is authority for the
statement that in fertilizer demonstra-
lions conducted in Allegheny county,
Pennsylvania, last summer, $50 pounds
of a 1874 mixture plus 800 pounds of
acid phosphate per acre produced
more than twice as many ears of sweet
corn than when no fertilizer was used.
The demonstrations revealed distinct
advantages for heavy applications of
high-gra mixtures

complete failures of this crop during
the past few seasons have made. nu-

average dairyman has tried alfalfa he
is forever won over to its use for tAat

Robbed of Legume Feed.
According to Lacey, the failures of
clover. have left scores of Green Lake
county farmers with no legume feed.
He predicts that next year will wit
ness a serious shortage of good hay
except where some emergency crop is
grown.
Soy beans will be used to fill the
gap. A carload Of Manchu soy bean
seed has already been ordered from
Illinois, and will be used for the 1924
planting. In 1922 only fifty acres of
soy beans were grown for hay. In
1923 this increased to one hundred
twenty acres. Next season will see
a big increase, since enough seed has
already been ordered for seven or eight
hundred acres.
Produce the feed first, and then
grow the right kind of dairy cattle to
consume it, has been rather sound
principle Of dairy cattle development
in this county, declares Lacey. But,
while the feed was being produced the
live stock work was not entirely at a
standstill. Consider the increase in
the percentage of pure bred herd sires,

Soy Beans Not Superior
to Alfalfa as Hay Crop

While soy beans should not be con-
sidered superior to alfalfa for hay,
they may be regarded as a most ex-
cellent catch crop to be seeded in the
spring in places where clover or al
falfa have winterkilled, or to be grown
where other legumes have not been
seeded the year before. Then. too,
soy beans will grow on land that is
slightly sour and not well adapted for
the legumes that are especially sus-
ceptible to soil acidity.

Potato Scab Corrected
bv Corrosive Sublimate

Potato scab is disease acquired
from infected soil, or infected seed. If
it is in the seed. it can be remedied by
dipping the seeds in corrosive subli-
mate, one ounce to eight gallons of wa
ter, for a period Of ten minutes. If
the disease is in the soil, the remedy is
more difficult. Apply sulphur in the
rows before planting the seed-600
pounds of sulphur to the acre. The
safest way, however, is to plant next
years crop on clean land.

Carrying swill to bunch of hungry
hogs is no small accomplishment, If
they are to be kept from upsetting the
pail in which it is carried. So an in
genious farmer built a feeder like the
one in this Illustration. There is no
need for a single drop to be spilled.
While it may be built of any mate
rial, this one was made of concrete
and is serviceable and lasting.

pertinent in which a pen of pullets.
which had been receiving ordinary
care, were shut in a house, due to the
extreme cold winter weather, and

Mature Gamblers Usually
Produce Best Goslings

Geese will lay during the first year
and the eggs may hatch, but the Cos
lings are not as vigorous as those pro-
duced by more mature breeding stock.
Gamblers usually produce the best re-
suits when from three to five years
old. The yearling ganders sometimes
fail to prove satisfactory as breeders.
Geese are often held as breeders for
nine or ten years and the ganders are
often good for six or seven years.

BEWARE THE
COUCH OR COLD
THAT HANGS ON

Chronic coughs and persistent colds
lead to serious lung trouble. You can
stop them now with Creomulsion, an
emulsified creosote that Is pleasant tc
take. Creomulsion is a new medical
discovery with twofold action; 1t soothes
and heals the inflamed membranes and
kills the germ.
OF all known drugs, creosote is rec
ognized by the medical fraternity as the
greatest healing agency for the treat
ment of chronic coughs and colds and
other forms of throat and lung troubles.
Creomulsion contains, In addition to
creosote, other healing elements which
soothe and heal the inflamed mem
branes and stop the irritation and in
flammation, while the creosote goes ON
to the stomach, Is absorbed into the
blood, attacks the seat of the trouble
and destroys the germs that lead to
consumption.
Creomulsion is guaranteed satisfac-
tory in the treatment of chronic coughs
and colds, bronchial asthma, catarrhal
bronchitis and other forms of throat
and lung diseases, and Is excellent for
building up the system after colds or
the flu. Money refunded II any cough
or cold, no matter of how long stand
ing, is not relieved after taking accord
ing to directions. Ask your druggist.

TRAFFIC LIMITED
ON BARGE LINE
Warrior Forced To Turn
Down Trade For Lack
Of Equipment

MOBILE, Ala, Nov. 5.-(Special)-
Large amounts of freight are having to
be refused by the Warrior river barge
line due to lack of equipment to handle
the shipments, and there are no pros
poets of an immediate improvement in
this situation, according to letter
received today at the traffic office of
the chamber of commerce from r. A.
Brown of Birmingham, Ala, member of
the advisory board of the Inland Water
ways corporation.
r. G. Cobb, traffic manager of the
Mobile Commercial org ?anization, wrote
Mr.. Brown calling attention to the fact
that in one of the new tariffs published
for the barge line that the cotton rate
applied via Cordova, Tuscaloosa and
Demopolis, but that these points are I'M
der embargo and no shipments are be-
ing received there. He asked about
the prospects for lifting the embargo,
especially with regard to the cotton
shipment, which are now moving.
Mr. Brown replied that nothing could
be done at the present time due to lack
of equipment. He said that about 80
per cent of the freight of the Tennessee
Coal, Iron and Railroad company was
being refused Dy the barge line ana
that a shipment of 5000 tons of man
ganese ore had been shipped by rail
only in the past few days on this ac-
count.
The Warrior has IL steel barges at
Louisville, it was stated, that cannot
be moved at the present time due to
low water in the river.
Mr.. Brown stated that the advisory
committee would accompany Secretary
of War Weeks on an inspection trip
of the Warrior and Mississippi systems
some time this month.
