The local talent, nevertheless,
had their innings in two close
events. They were won by Red

these also were front runners by
a wide margin when they passed
the judges. although Warsis
earned his lead by default when

Feeding Brood Sows

HERE is MY rather unusual way of
feeding my brood sows. For each sow
l buy heavy 14-quart pail with heavy
wire handle. 1 then take piece of rope
about six feet long with a harness snap
on one end. snap it onto the pail ham
die, put feed and water in the pail, and
tie it in the corner of the pen so the
bottom of the pail just touches the
ground. The sow will not waste the
feed, and there is no danger of the
little pigs getting hurt. I have used
this way for years and like it very
much.-J. C. L.

Handy Farm Ideas
BY I. w. DICKERSON
Handy Camp Stove

HERE IS A light camp stove that
can be carried with you very handily
on picnic and outing trips. 1t can be
made out of a large paint or grease
pail. Cut it down to about IL inches in
height, reinsert handles, and insert two
heavy rods or small pipes through
pail eight inches from bottom. Cut
heavy one-fourth inch mesh screen to
fit inside of pail to rest on rods. Cut
draft opening by inches at bottom
and attach by two hinges so size of
opening can be adjusted. If you use a
grease pail, the round hole for attach
ing the grease gun can serve as the
draft hole. Cut piece of the heavy
screen to fit on top of the stove for

was welded at right angles to 24-inch
piece of the same and this bolted to
the front of the tractor to support the
seeder. The bottom was removed from
a 5-gallon cream can, the top cut off
at its smallest diameter, and flat
plate with two as-inch seed holes was
welded to the open mouth of the can.
A second plate with two matching holes
was bolted directly under the first
plate so that it could be rotated slightly
by lever extending back within reach
of the tractor operator. Moving the
lower plate slightly uncovers more or
less of the seed holes and regulates the
flow of seed.
An auto heater motor and fan is
mounted on the horizontal leg of the
channel iron so that any seed fed
through the feed holes will be spread
up to a width of about % feet. The
spreader motor is connected to the
light wires of the tractor and runs
from the tractor battery.
This seeder works very well and
would cost about $780, but can be made
for almost nothing if you can do the
work yourself. You can also seed in
corn at the last cultivation for a green
manuring crop.-M. r.

Valve Grinding Hint

HERE is my way of grinding valves
in any valve-in-head engine. 1 apply
grinding compound to the valve seat
and little oil in the valve guide, then
put the chuck of my electric drill on the
valve stem, then work the drill up and
down little as it turns. 1t works out
fine. "A. M. j.

HONOR - Shortly after
Judge Emil Fuchs bought
the Boston fnow Milwau-
keel Braves in the late '20s,
he decided to manage the
team himself. Fuchs legal
background, with its preoc-
cupation with right and
wrong. was hardly calculated
to help in his role as big
league manager.
One day, in the ninth in
ming of, a 90 game. the
Braves had men on first and
third with one out.
What shall we try now?"
the Judge asked one Of his
coaches.
Lets try the double STEAL"
suggested the coach.
Fuchs threw up his hands

"Oh, no, we can't do that"

One day. when young
Mischa was giving a concert.
he was greeted with ex-

number. BY the time he
reached his final selection.

stage q lf-hour longer
than anticipated. His father
was obviously disturbed.

the boy lifted his bow, play
this one fast. It's almost
3 O'Clock and the bank will
be CloSing!"
