Plan for Driving Nine
Horses With Two Lines

Three different Nebraska farmers
are now driving an eight or nine
horse team with single pair of lines.
All this power makes it possible for
them to keep big pillow going con-
tinually all day long. The system Of
hitching the horses three abreast in
three teams is a new one worked out
this spring by o. o. Waggener, of the
agricultural college at Lincoln. Two
draw chains are used, one on each
side of the middle horse. The teams
are tied in and bucked back so it Is
just as easy to drive the nine as 1t
is to drive two-horse team. Austin
Sutton, Wahoo, and II. J. Mclaughlin
& Sons, Doniphan, are using the nine
horse teams. Everett Barry, Wahoo,
is using eight horses on the same
hitch, the only change being minor
one In the equalizer and the use Of
two horses instead of three in the
wheel team.

Farm Manure Is Subject
to Tremendous Losses

Farm manure is subject to tremen-
dous losses from teaching and fer
mentation II 1t Is improperly handled.
If piled in loose heaps where It is ex-
posed to the rain, large part of the
nitrogen and more than half of the
potash will leach away. Also. under
such conditions, the manure ferments
rapidly, with the result that still more
of the nitrogen escapes in the form Of
ammonia. If the manure cannot be
hauled directly to the fields as pro-
duced, 1t should be kept under shelter.
and in a moist compact condition. An
excellent plan is to have manure
shed where the manure is placed when
it is taken out Of the stable. Calves
and other stock should be allowed ac-
cess to this shed, and in this way the
manure is kept thoroughly packed.
The least loss will occur when the ma
nure is kept moist, compact, and I'M
der shelter.

Use Production Records
to Boost Sale of Cows

Putting dairy cows in dairy herd
improvement, or cow testing, associa-
ton and getting definite records on
them as milk butter fat producers may
add as much as SO head to their
value. This is the opinion Of at least
one of the many members Of dairy

nois. He is a member Of the associa-
ton In Knox county and recently
when he held a sale of dairy cattle ths
record of each COW was announced as
she was led into the ring. He declared
afterwards that the average selling
price of the cows was increased at
least SIS a head by announcing the
records.
In another case, records on the per-

with having added $50 to a sale aver

average of $125 head. After the sale,

Man Using Both Hands
Can Accomplish Mors

Out of every hundred babies born, II
are naturally right-handed, are left
handed, and the remaining so are
capable of using either hand with
equal ease. Yet, owing to our method
of training the young, by the time
those hundred babies are three years
old all except the three who were left
handed will use the right hand for
such essential work as writing, paint
ing and the use of all tools.
There are said to be over 400 diff
ferent sorts of work in which the equal
use of both hands is an advantage, but
even in those in which one hand only
is generally used it is a tremendous
advantage to be able to use the left
hand in order to rest the right.
Sir James Barrie, when his right
hand failed him, had to learn to write
with his left, but Sir Robert Baden
Powell, when bitten by dog and
forced to carry his right arm in O
sling, went right on with his work,
writing and drawing with the other
hand, for he has been able to use both
hand equally all his life.
The great animal artist, Landseer,
could paint two pictures at the same
time, using both hands. The famous
Leonardo da Vinci was equally accom-
plished, and SO was Holbein, the por-
trait painter. More wonderful seems
the fact that the well-known surgeon,
Mr.. Simeon Shell, could operate
equally easily with either hand. Sir
Oliver Lodge is another well-known
man who uses both hands with ease.
1t is the left side of the brain that
controls the muscles of the right side
of the body, SO by learning to use the
left hand person actually rests one
side of his brain and is therefore able
to do more work at stretch.

In Planting Young Trees
Firm the Soil Tightly

Firming the soil tightly around the
roots of young forest seedlings when
they are planted is the most impor-
tant single item in assuring a good
start and healthy growth the first
year. After the seedlings roots are
covered with earth, the person doing
the planting should lamp it in place
by downward thrust of his heel.
When seedlings are planted on soils
that have heavy sod that produces
a rank growth each year, it is often
necessary to remove some of the sod
so the grass will not smother or choke
the little tree; ten-inch square is
usually enough and the tree should
be planted in the center of the space.
On thin, wornout soils such as old
pastures, however, it is necessary only
to make a slit in the sod with grub
hoe and insert the roots of the seed
ling.

Idea of fabrication

Lubricating means the application OF
substances having a low degree of CO.
hesion to solid surfaces rubbing each
other. the object being to reduce fric-
ton. The theory of fabrication is that
these lubricants interpose an almost
frictionless film between the surfaces
to which they are applied. The re
quirements for good lubricant, there
fore, are minimum of internal cohe-
sion ind sufficient body to prevent the
possibility of Its being squeezed out
Of place by pressure.

INCUBATION IS OF GREATEST
VALUE TO THE SOY BEAN CROP

inoculated and nodules form in album
dance on the roots 40 pounds of this
60 is taken from the air and 20 from
the soil. Nitrogen sells on the fer
tiliZer market at 80 cents a pound.
incubation then saves the soil SIP
worth of nitrogen for each ton of
growth.
Another advantage Of using inocu-
lation is that on poor soils the soy
beans will make much better growth
where there is good formation of
nodules on the roots.
incubation may be secured from
the soils department of the Missouri
College of Agriculture at Columbia
at % cents for enough incubation to
treat one bushel of seed. This sup
plies the seed for one to three acres,
according to the method of planting.
When one realizes what 1t saves the
soil in fertility and how it improves
the chances for better growth of soy
beans this makes the expenditure of
20 cents a very profitable one.

Furnishes Bacteria Nodules
on Roots of the Plant.

One of the greatest values Of the
soy bean crop will be missed If those
who plant soys fail to inoculate the
seed, says K. G. Hartman of the Mis-
souri, College of Agriculture. Inoc-
ulation furnishes the bacteria that
form nodules on the roots of the soy
bean and take nitrogen out Of the
air. This is important because 1T
furnishes a nitrogen supply for the
plant and also makes 1t possible for
the soy bean to grow without draw
ing so heavily on the soil for this ele-
ment.
Soy beans require an average of 60
pounds of nitrogen for each ton of
growth. When they are not inocu-
lated all this must come from the
Soil the same as it does in case of
q corn or wheat crop. When they are

Too Much
Sacrifice
Ruins Life
BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON

BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON
A girl was hurt by fall at a time
when life looked most beautiful.
An older sister was engaged to
be married. The younger one, the
pet of the family, had not decided
which of her many suitors she would
accept. AS it happened, she ac~
cepted none, for she became partly
paralyzeo after her accident.
Her parents died shortly after.
There was none but the older sister
to try to make up to her what life
had taken away. She broke her
own engagement, too deeply consci-
entious to accept from life what it
had denied her beautiful sister.
In fifteen years, the older sister,
then a girl of 25, looked more than
so. The invalid, bitterness added
to NATURAL s<lfishness, had greedily
drunk up the sacrifice and drained
to the dregs the courage, patience
and resource OF the other.
Hers was the saddest story as the
world interprets human suffering,
but it is Of the older woman I would
write.
She felt more and more guilty
about her own strength and good
health as the years went by; she
denied herself almost every plea
sure. Like the Self-punishment of
priests who lash their bodies to
remind themselves that they are
sinners.
On winter trip, taken because
she suddenly decided that sea air
was the thing she needed, the in
valid sister took cold and died.

MANY END COLDS

Relieved Overnight by Using
Quick Remedy Endorsed For
Home Use by Clinic

Head colds and chest colds can
now be ended quickly-often over
nightly the unique double action
of a home remedy now recon-
mended by doctors at the health
clinic. And druggists here say that
vast numbers of Indianapolis people,
like Mrs. Edna Muse, have found
that it quickly drives out stKb-
bor1S cold, even in severe cases
where every well known remeuy
used had failed.
Doctors at the clinic were called
for advice when Mrs. Muses. cold
grew worse, causing fear of pneu-
monia. They Immediately advised
Cherry Pectoral "a concentrated
mixture of ingredients. which hos
pitfalls have found to be the quick
est, safest and most dependable to
end a cold. Almost instantly she
felt the comforting, healing warmth
from her nose passages deep down
into her chest. In a few hours she
was greatly relieved and in another
day or so was entirely rid of her
cold.
