Opportunities Offered
In Homemade Equipment

Homemade equipment is only for
persons who have ideas of their
own. A farmer usually sees a
neighbours wagon, inspects it, and
goes home to build one for himself.
or lets his son do it.
Also, say engineers at the New
York State College Of Agriculture,
rubber-tired tractors have con-
WINGED farmers of the practicability
of rubber-mounted equipment.
In their opinion, a start toward
bringing all the equipment up-to-
date is the farm wagon which can
be made easily and will cost about
$35, without box or rack. Auto run
ming gear, preferably with 60O-16
tires, lends itself to easy tire re-
placement when the wagon is heavi-
1y loaded.
The advantages Of tires are lost, it
is said, with more than Is pounds
pressure in them. Used tires are
satisfactory if the wagon is used
on the farm and not behind a truck
or car on the highway. If used on
the road as trailer, New York
state law requires that it be
equipped with brakes, lights, and a
license.
Ensilage carts that push easily
over litter and other distractions
may be made at cost of from $40
to $25 for material and labor, &C.
cording to the engineers. A sturdy
handy cart for carrying milk cans
may be made from old auto wheels,
he says.

kerchief ON Display at
Harvard as True Crimson

CAMBRIDGE.-The official Har-
ward crimson kerchief, adopted in
1910 as the standard of the college
color and since kept on deposit in
university archives, is on public ex-
hibit at the Widener library.
The silk kerchief first was worn
by a member of Harvard's 1853
crew. Because of the distinguishing
'arterial blood shade, similarly
dyed kerchiefs were worn in en-
suing races. In 1910 a duplicate Of
the 1858 kerchief was made and
adopted to "standardize the Grim
SON."
Also on display is the football uni
form worn in the seasons of 1875,
1876 and 1877 by w. P. Lombard,
class of 1878. It consists of wool
en- skull cap, flannel trousers and
knitted jersey sweater.
