DER cath the veneer of polite con.

satisfaction on the part of senators
of both PARTIES at the prospects. They
know that they are entrenched in q

less hostile Senators with chips on
the shoulders. No evangelist ever
had a N ore skeptical audience. Yet
the most amusi ng feature of til sit

no. reply to his critics, at least, not
from the floor of the Senate. His
powers and duties are pre- sc bed and
an indiv:dr al Senator has the adyaat-
age Of the presiding officer.
Dawes has been stumping the
country in an attempt to enlist pub
lie opinion and force the Senator's to
revise the rules of the Senate. Ac-
cording to the stories current here
and probably sponsored by incoming
Senators, the Vice President drew
large crowds principally by his per-
sonality and not because of his sub
ject. The average citizen knows lit
tie and cares less, they say, about
parliamentary procedure. 1t is the
results that interest them especially
Legislation affecting their groups, To-
calities or pocketbooks. The English

admitted decades ago that "reforma-
ton is a work of time /"
A test of the Administration
strength in the Senate will be made
about two weeks after the converting
of Congress. At that time, an effort
will be made to force a vote on the
World Coourt protocol which Mr..
Coolidge recommended last winter
and will undoubtedly boost in his
annual message. A count of the
Senate has been made by Admins
traticG leaders but the data is un-
certain. The reorganization of the
FEDERAL departments will also be
pushed but there is wide difference
of opinion as to the transfers of the
various bureaus.
The hand of Mr.. Hoover was noted
in the last public address of the
President before the New York
Chamber of Commerce. Practically
all of the economic theories advocat-
ed by Hoover were included in, last
weeks speech by Mr.. Coolidge.

Consider Well Expense
of Deep Flowing Needs

An impervious soil or hardpan which
is unfavorable to root penetration,
might present condition that it would
be desirable to alter by subsoiltng.
Even in such case, the heavy expense
of deep blowing needs to be well con-
sidered before the process is attempted.
For each inch of additional depth
about 100000 pounds or $50 tons Of
extra soil is turned over for each acre.
This large weight Is turned only at
considerable expenditure in power, and
the cost of power on the farm comes
high.

Overcrowding Fowls Is
Cause of Much Trouble

The overcrowding of birds in their
sleeping quarters during the winter is
responsible for considerable serious
trouble, according to poultry authori-
ties at the Kansas State Agricultural
college. Frequently a building shelters
twice the number of birds it was de-
signed to accommodate. The rule of
allowing a minimum of three square
feet of floor space per bird should be
strictly adhered to.
The vitality of the flock is frequent
ly lowered by overcrowding. The dis
ease, infectious bronchitis, which
caused an embargo on Kansas poultry
last fall was due partly to improper
housing conditions.
The ideal house provides ample floor
space, roosting space of eight lineal
inches per bird, is clean and free from
drafts. Spraying once or twice weekly
with a 5 per cent solution of good
standard disinfectant or stock dip is
recommended as sanitary measure.

Red and Alsike Clover
Are Beneficial to Soil

Both red clover and alsike clover viii
enrich ground about the same to the
extent of their growth. Red clover
usually makes heavier growth and
hence is more beneficial. Then, too,
the roots of red clover will grow into
the ground deeper than alsike, and
hence improve the soil to greater
depth.
Either sweet clover or alfalfa is far
superior for soil building to red or
sike clover. Alsike will grow on
sour soil which contains good supply
II humus better than will red clover.
sweet clover will not make much II
ny growth on sour soils, and neither
will alfalfa; hence to grow these most

Poor Lamb Crop if
Ewes Are Sighted
Breeders Will Face Spring
in Weak Condition.

If the ewes are neglected this win
ter they will face the spring In a
weakened, rundown condition, which
will result in a poor lamb crop. Sheep
generally need little shelter, but they
do need food. Attention to this detail
is important now that grazing has be-
come scarce.
at has been found from study OF
the sheep industry that the small flock
of 20 to 80 or 40 is the most profitable
to keep on the average farm" says
Prof. r. S. Curtis of the animal hus-
bandry department at the North Caro-
lima State college. 1T is essential,
however, even in this case, to give the
flock some attention. Now that the
grazing season is over, the owner
should not neglect his breeding ewes.
One of the greatest troubles that
comes to the flock owner usually is at
Landing time, and If some forethought
and management is given to the flock
this winter this trouble can be
averted."
Professor Curtis makes the point
that the breeding eve must be in good
shape during winter so that she may
nourish the lamb properly in spring.
Sometimes the ewes get in such poor
condition that there is serious trou-
Bile at lambing time and only 80 to 90
per cent crop of lambs Is saved. I'm
der proper conditions there should be
a $50 per cent crop.
To help keep the ewes in good condi-
ton, Professor Curtis suggests a RAJ
ton made up of so parts of corn, %
parts of cottonseed meal and % parts
of wheat bran. Feed this mixture at
the rate of one pound per eve daily,
and give all the roughage that she
will consume. If possible, Professor
Curtis states that some silage or roots
might be given in connection with the
roughage.

Asparagus and Pie Plant

Fall is a fair time to set out aspara-
gus and pie plant. Get good variety
of each. For the asparagus dig a
trench 1S inches deep. Put in the bot
tom three to four inches of well-rot-
ted manure Cover this with three or
four inches of well-pulverized soil.
Set the plants on this layer of soil,
having them IS to S6 inches apart.
Cover them, water them, and forget
them. In the spring of 1927 you will
have the best asparagus in the neigh
borhood. In the spring Of 1947 that
same bed will be producing.

Autumn Days for
Various Repairs
Odd Jobs Can Be Done Be-
cause of Weather Con-
ditions on Outside.

Autumn brings with it many days
that win be opportune for repairing
machinery because of weather condi-
tions unfavorable for outdoor activi-
ties; besides, the rush of harvesting
and blowing will be over. This is the
Ideal time to check up on what repairs
and requirements are needed to the
farm machinery and other equipment.
The conditions and troubles had in
the operation of each farm machine
are still rather fresh in mind and it
is a good time to make a note of these
for future repair work
Note Repairs Needed.
Each machine as 1t is put into its
winter storage should be gone over
carefully and on a card or, better, in
a special repair book, should be noted
the name of the manufacturing firm,
the name and size and model of the
machine, the serial number if it is
tractor or gas engine or other equip
ment having a serial or indicidual num-
ment having serial individual num-
will help to identify the machine.
Then the machine should be gone over
in detail and note made of any parts
broken or so badly worn as to need
replacement, with the number and
name and location of the defective
part. In case of doubt of any worn part
1t should be kept in mind that nearly
always it will be cheaper and more
satisfactory to replace worn part
with new one than to have 1t re-
paired by the blacksmith or automo-
bile welder. In case new part can
not be obtained, however, it may not
be necessary to discard fairly good
machine for the want of a single
broken or worn piece. since good
workman can do wonders in the way
of brazing and building up such part.
Note Parts Needed.
In addition to listing the broken or
badly worn parts, each machine should
be gone over carefully and note made
of parts needing adjustment or mend
ing or cleaning. Thus the binder can
vas may need new Stats or straps, the
elevators may need squaring up, the
flag or wind stop may need new cloth
over it, and so on. On the cultivator
the shovels may need sharpening and
repointing, and so on. The mower may
need the cutter bar lined up, sections
frightened or replaced, and so on.
These records should be filed in
drawer secure from mice or hung on a
special hook in the repair shop. They
should be taken to the local implement
dealer and the numbers of all needed
repairs ascertained and noted on your
lists. Then secure whatever of these
repairs the dealer has in stock and in
sist that any he does not have are or
dered Immediately, as you will want
these repairs when you overhaul your
machines, which ought to be done dur
ing the idle winter season, either by
yourself If you are fortunate enough
to have good repair shop, or by the
local blacksmith or repair shop. Also
repairs ordered early in this way are
much surer of being received in good
time than if one waits until the repair
rush starts. Sometimes non-progres-
sive. or incompetent dealer may put
you off or refuse to send in your order
until late; but if complaint is sent in
direct to the manufacturers, such deal
ers will be forced to action.
