out, water is completely soft when
it first leaves a rain cloud. By the
time it becomes ground water, or
well water, it has picked up mineral
hardness from the soil through
which it has passed-calcium and
magnesium salts, principally.
Remove Minerals
Softening requires the removal Of
these minerals from the water. This
is accomplished quite easily and
simply by a water conditioning unit
containing zeolite. This remarkable
substance takes the calcium and
magnesium salts from hard water
passing through the unit, replacing
them. with sodium.
The Zeolite, which is the heart of
a water softener, never wears out
but eventually becomes tired out. "
When this occurs, its power to soften
water is renewed by washing the
Montana farmer-stockman. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1947-1993, 1953-06-01

bed of zeolite with a solution of
ordinary table salt-sodium chloride.
The zeolite thus takes on a new
supply of sodium and is ready to
start another cycle of water soften
ing
There are two types of water soft
eners, as far as regeneration is con-
cerned. One type has to be opened
at the top and the regenerating salt
brine poured in by hand The other
type has its own brine tank, regener-
alton being accomplished by the
simple twist of valve to turn on
the salt bath for the zeolite.
Iron Stains
Certain farm well waters contain
varying traces of iron, causing the
surfaces of plumbing fixtures to be-
come stained. Still others suffer
from off odors and off-flavors. The
addition of suitable chemicals to the
zeolite in the water conditioner will
quickly clear up these undesirable
conditions.
A water conditioning unit can be
connected to the main water supply
line in various ways. 1t may be
placed so as to service all plumbing
fixtures in the house
Another way is to connect it SO
that it services everything but the
water closet and outside water
faucets.
Whatever the choice of ronnec-
ton, the softener, of course, should
so be placed that it can soften water
used for daily cleanup in the milk
house and other farm outbuildings
Water softening equipment car
either be bought outright, in which
case the owner himself regenerate.
the unit periodically, or he can sub
scribe to J soft water service. II
the latter case, the service man de
livers fresh softening unit every
two, three OF. four weeks, depending
upon need. This saves the home
owner the necessity of regenerating
the old unit.
Properly planned by a water soft
ener dealer or service nan to tax,
into account such factors as pump
capacity, water hardness and norma
family water consumption, waite
conditioning equipment adds i'm
neasuirably to the pleasure AM
profit of modern farm living.

Big Springs Ranch, Jgne I
Auction Sale

The family had sold their ranch, pur-
chased a new home in the city and
were ready to begin new and diff
ferent kind of life.
The task of disposing of all OF
their farm and ranch equipment was
at hand. The day of the sale dawned
bright and sunny. Spring was in the
air. For days the owners had worked,
preparing for the sale. Good weather
plays an important role in any farm
sale. A large crowd is encouraging.
People came from far and near.
To me there is something bit sad
about a public farm sale, especially
where people have lived for so many
years. Families have been raised and
memories are rooted deeply. But re-
gardless of all this. there are always
others ready to take over, another
family to be raised and more crops
waiting to be grown. The land is
good and welcomes the hopeful.
The farm machinery, cream sep
arator, tools, chicken coops and all
of those stems too numerous to
mention" were lined up outside for
the inspection of the potential buy
ers. The auctioneer's voice announced
that the sale would begin. After ex-
planning the terms of the sale, he
moved from one article to another.
A public auction sale is always an
outstanding affair in rural COM
munity. It's a sort of holiday and a
time when folks from all parts of
the county, and some from outside,
meet and exchange views and news.
Neighbors visit and the small chill
dren afford plenty of exercise for
their mothers. The house is always
open to anyone who wants to come
in and rest.
Some of the young mothers try to
coax the small ones in for a nap, but
their wisdom is in competition with
the excitement of the occasion. And
The mothers continue with their
exercise" of keeping up the chase.
Many people arrive early and have
decided on their purchases. That is,
provided that their bid is high when
the auctioneer says 'ssold."
A good auctioneer will hold out as
long as possible for as fair a price
as he can get. Bidding is never
rushed. Often the auctioneer will
pause for a timely story. Yet, when
there are several bidding on the
same thing, the interest is high ano
the bidding is keen He knows that
this goes to make a good sale. He
wants satisfactory prices and is il
close touch with the owner, who
often begins the bid on things O
value. The clerk of the sale is a busy
man.
Lunch time is an important even
of the auction sale. 1t is free to every
one and is usually a hearty sand
witch, doughnut and plenty of no
coffee.
A farm auction sale is a stroke o
hospitality. The first lady is assiste,
by her friends and neighbors. The
gather in the kitchen, splitting buns
slicing meat or wrapping the sand
witches in napkins.
After the sale the trucks and car:
loaded with purchases, are a stead
stream down the road.
