Although I do not consider
Mitchen's memoirs as history, I
must admit that an acquaintance
with this book viii act like course
in history for any reader. It is not
dry. but as interesting as any novel
which is a first seller today.
His picture of Abraham Lincoln
during the Civil War-Lincoln eat
ing beans for breakfast in the White
House-is one of those rare close
ups that only Mitchell can give a
reader.
As q newspaper man I relished
every page devoted to the story of
the rise Of the newspaper In New
York. The pages devoted to the rise
OF the editorial from its biting per-
sonal form to its present importance
as guide to policy on all subjects,
were mighty interesting to me.
We can all spare time to read of
the other fellows life. Mitchell in
this new Scribner publication gives
you the history OF the men who
helped make US the Nation that we
are today.
This book should be In every Il
brary that boasts OF real books.

Should Get Acquainted
With Various Machines

During the winter months is good
time to get acquainted with the farm
machinery and equipment. The more
we know about our machines, the
more efficiently they will be handled,
and the less trouble will be encoun-
tered, and the more pleasure we can
obtain out Of farm life.
Start with the tractor and autOmo-
bile; they are similar in a good many
respects. Get the instruction book and
study the motor; note how it operates,
how the carburetor works, how the gas
is ignited, how the mechanism is lubri-
Gated, why some parts need more and
a better grade of oil than others.
Study the troubles of the motor, and
the causes. After the motor and it's
accessories are thoroughly understood,
go to the transmission, then the wheels.
On the automobile, find out all you can
about tire repairing.
Other machines can be studied in
the same way, the lighting system, the
water pump, the spraying machine,
and the farm implements. They can
not only be studied with the idea of
using them more efficiently, but so that
repairs and adjustments may be made
without outside assistance.

Tricks of Trade During
Winter Orchard Pruning

Growers of fruit trees who do their
own pruning will find it both interest
ing and profitable to apply some of the
"tricks of the trade" during this win
ter's pruning. One of the most inter-
esting Of these is to put living ties IN
the tree They are of principal value
when applied to young vigorous trees.
If tree Of this type is found to have
a scaffold limb which is not firmly
knit to the trunk of the tree 1t can
be tied there by twining together two
twigs from 6 to Is inches above the
crotch and one of which has it's origin
from the weak limb and the other from
the more solid part Of the tree. These
should be wrapped around each other
as tightly as is possible without break
ing the wood and the ends should not
be cut off until after several years
growth and the twigs have firmly
grated together. Such treatment will
form living tie which will have a
greater strength than any artificial one
that could be put in.
