IX this directory we have endeavored to g^ive Stephenson county farmers a complete and reliable directory of the farmers, breeders and merchants of the county, with such other information as will make the directory a valuable reference book.

The task of calling on every farmer in a county and collecting- the information for such a directory is a tre- mendous one. We have received splendid co-operation from the farmers and business men of the county, with- out which the publication of such a directory would be impossible. In a very few cases we have found farmers unwilling to give the information requested, which ac- counts for a few^ names that do not appear.

A few mistakes are bound to occur in a directory that involves so large an amount of work, but we have spared no effort or expense to make the information complete and accurate, and we believe that the mistakes are very few.

W^e want to speak a word of appreciation for the ad- vertisers whose liberal support has helped materially to bear the heavy expense of publishing this directory, and ask that you favor them with your patronage whenever possible.

We hope and believe that the publication of this directory will be a real service to Stephenson county farmers and in line with Prairie Farmer's policy of service to the farmers of Illinois. We hope that the increased circula- tion of Prairie Farmer in Stephenson county which has re- sulted will help in the movement for better farming, bet- ter farm living, and more prosperity for the county, and that our many new friends will become permanent mem- bers of the big Pr.\irie Farmer family.

The Stephenson County Better Farming Association

By L. M. Swanzy, President

THE realization that in order to secure the best results in the business of farming it is neces- sary to apply modern methods of farm practice in order to secure the results which present day conditions demand has been rapidly growing in Stephenson county. Farm lands sell- ing at the price which they are today and combined with the fact that there is little or no virgin farm land left in this country to be tilled, makes it essential that larger and better crops be produced on the present farms if adequate returns on the investment are to be made. Contrary to the opinion which has been expressed in some places an increase in the crops does not necessarily mean a reduc- tion in the price of farm products, as the rapidly increasing population of this country will demand a great in- crease in the amount of food products produced in the years to come. In order to promote modern and scien- tific methods of agriculture, better and more profitable crops and im- proved soil conditions and a greater and better production of live stock, the Stephenson County Farm Im- provement Association has been or- ganized to carry on the work along the following lines:

The constitution and by-laws adopted at the farmers' meeting De- cember 6, 1914, provide that there shall be a president, vice-president, secretary and treasurer and three other directors in whose hands the management of the affairs of the As- sociation shall be placed. The by- laws further provide that a delegate from each township shall be appointed the first year by the directors and after that this delegate shall be elec- ted by the members of the association in each township. These delegates will be members of the advisory coun- cil which will confer with the board of directors from time to time re- garding the management of the As- sociation and they shall be privileged ,t,o , gppf)int cornmitteemen in their ;vai,iotus' , hown^hips to .assist tlicm in

carrying on the work of the Asso- ciation.

The principal object of the Asso- ciation is to promote the various in- terests of the farmer in every way possible. The vital problems of in- creasing crop yields and repairing the fertility of worn out soils are of first importance to the farmer and those interested in -the prosperity of the county. These and many other impor- tant problems such as the proper dis- tribution of farm products in an ef- ficient manner; the purchasing of sup- plies for the farmer to the best ad- vantage; the advancement of agricul- tural education in the schools of the country, will all come within the scope of this Association which offers an opportunity for the farmers of the county to work together for their own interests as nothing else can.

One of the chief objects for which the Association has been organized is to secure a County Agricultural Ad- visor for Stephenson county. Over 1,200 counties in the United States now employ county agents, and the most progressive counties in Illinois which have prosperous farm improve- ment associations are employing such men to assist them in carrying on the work. The duties of a county agent are numerous. It is his business to consult with the farmers of the county concerning matters of soil fertility, crop improvement, seed and soil test- ing, and to aid the farmers in every way possible to solve these problems. Such a man would act as purchasing agent for the Association, keeping posted as to where the best supplies of seeds, fertilizers and other neces- sary supplies could be obtained at the best prices. A competent county agent would also assist the farmers to keep in touch with markets for their products, improve methods of distribution and aid them in many ways to develop better methods of doing business.

A man capable of handling these problems intelligently must have ability and the necessary qualifica-

FARMERS AND BREEDERS, STEPHENSON COUNTY

tions. In order to secure such a man, one who will meet the require- ments of the United States Govern- ment's Department of Agriculture and the State University, money is es- sential and the financing of an asso- ciation of this kind is one of the most difficult problems it has to face.

In order to raise the funds neces- sary to carry on the work of the As- sociation it has been thought best to charge a membership fee of $5 per year to all members. If enough farm- ers join the Association the amount raised from membership fees should be sufficient to secure a first-class county agent and pay the expenses of the organization. There are other sources of revenue, however, which should be made use of if possible. If the farmers will raise a part of the necessary funds the United States Department of Agriculture will pay $1,200 per year toward the support of the Association The County Board of Supervisors has the privilege un- der the s'tate laws, of contributing a maximum of $5,000 per year toward this work. The county boards in other counties in Illinois are con- tributing liberally toward the support of their farmers' organizations and if the Stephenson County Farm Im- provement Association shows that it means business there is no reason why the county should not make a liberal appropriation for this necessary work. It is understood that dues to the As- sociation need not be paid until a county agent is assured. Any member may take out more than one member- ship if he so desires.

The benefits to be derived by any farmer from the Association will be apparent to any one who gives careful consideration to the matter. There is no doubt but what the money in- vested in memberships will be re- paid to the farmers many times over. The work which will be done to es- tablish scientific methods of farming in this county and the betterment of crop and soil conditions, mean greater crops per acre and additional pros- perity to the farmers.

In the matter of purchasing the best quality of seeds, fertilizers and other necessary items in large quantities, the saving to any farmer will more than pay for his membership. Im- proved methods of distributing farm products of all kinds and the securing of better markets for them will be a

great advantage and a saving to the farmer.

The co-operation which a county agent can give the county schools, es- pecially in the winter months, is aii- other valuable feature of the work. The teaching of practical agriculture is necessary and valuable if the com- ing generations are to be properly fitted to take up practical farm work. A county agent can do much in the schools, in educating the students in practical farm problems and create an interest in farm life which will have a tendency to keep the young people on our farms.

The officers realizing that the coun- ty is at a low ebb, as to any co- operative or organization work, have spent a great deal of effort in bring- ing together correlated interests, and community center leadership.

Among the persons whose friendly interest was sought and their ac- tivities allied for a larger progressive moveinent are the county superin- tendent of schools, the principal and professor of agriculture in the Free- port High School, the officers of the farmers' institute, the rural pastors and progressive district school teach- ers who are natural community leaders. Among the community centers now established are:

LIVESTOCK FARMERS' MEDICINE CHEST

By Dr. A. S. Alexander in Prairie Farmer.

When a farmer can employ a com- petent graduate veterinarian at rea- sonable expense it always is best to do S9, and in all serious cases such expert help should be used even if the expense will be considerable. Unfortunately it is not always pos- sible to find such an expert or he may live at such a distance that an ordinary or trivial case will not warrant the expense of his employment, or the nearest veterinarian may not be a properly qualified practitioner, or is one in whom the stockman has no confidence.

For these reasons every owner of animals should keep some simple remedies on hand, and these are nec- essary even on farms where profes- sional assistance can readily be had. It should be understood, however, that the untrained farmer should not attempt the administration of strong poisons, alkaloids and many prepara- tions used hypodermically by a gradu- ate veterinarian. Such preparations are extremely dangerous in the hands of the layman and are liable to do much more harm than good. The trained surgeon also should be de- pended upon for all major operations.

A cupboard may be set apart for storing medicines in a cool, dry place and where freezing will not occur in winter. A glass graduate and scales will be necessary for measuring and weighing medicines. Powdered drugs should be kept in tightly closed glass fruit jars and should be plainly labeled. They may soon lose their strength if exposed to the air. Poisons should be kept on a separate part of a shelf partitioned ofif for the purpose and away from simple, harmless drugs. Ointments, wjth the exception of fly blister, should be made up fresh at time of use. Liniment may be pre- pared and kept indefinitely if well corked.

The medicine case should also have a special division in which to keep a few instruments, bandages, suture silk

and absorbent cotton; or better still, these may be kept in a handbag for immediate use as required. The emergency bag should contain a roll of absorbent cotton, several rolled three-yard bandages of unbleached muslin in strips three inches wide, a pound or two of oakum, a spool of strong suture silk, half a dozen suture needles of assorted shapes and sizes, most of them large; a half-ounce, short-barreled, strong-nozzled hard rubber syringe, a two-ounce metal syringe, a cow trocar and canula for tapping a bloated animal, a pair of curved shears, a combination operat- ing knife containing a curved bistoury, a probe pointed bistoury and a strong straight scalpel, a few milking tubes and a teat bistoury, an artery forceps, metal probe, castrating knife and pair of horse clippers.

These will suffice, but there are many other useful instruments such as a clinical thermometer, horse tro- car, catheter and dentistry "float," which may be added from time to time. Some of the medicines to be listed later may also have a place in the emergency kit or bag, notably those needed for the treatment of wounds, and at hand should be a strong quart drenching bottle and ten feet of quarter-inch cotton rope with which to hold up a horse's head for drenching. A veterinary force pump is added on a large farm, but its place may be taken by three feet of new lawn sprinkling hose fitted with a large tin funnel. This is used to give a horse or cow a rectal injection. There should also be a six-foot piece of new half-inch rubber tubing for use in giving a cow or mare a vaginal injection.

Simple necessary medicines may best be listed under the following special heads:

Physics. Epsom and Glauber Salts. Average dose for an adult cow, one pound in

PRAIRIE FARMER'S RELIABLE DIRECTORY

three pints of warm water. Dose for a horse, 12 ounces.

;Castor Oil. Especially useful for young animals. Dose for a calf or foal, from 1 to 6 tablespoonfuls shaken up in milk.

Raw Linseed Oil (not boiled, which is poisonous). Average dose, one pint for constipation and to follow a dose of colic medicine, or contain medicine for colic.

Barbados Aloes (freshly powdered). Average dose, one ounce, to_ be given to an adult horse as a "physic ball." Wound Medicines.

Keep in stock one pint each of car- bolic acid and coal tar disinfectant and a gallon can of the latter for dipping and disinfecting purposes. Two tea- spoonfuls to a pint of water ordinarily makes a sufficiently strong solution. Bleeding is stopped by applying Mon- sel's solution of iron on oakum or cotton batting, or applying Monsel's powder. As a wound lotion also keep on. hand a mixture of one ounce of sugar of lead and six drams of sul- phate of zinc in one pint of water. This is called "white lotion" and should be plainly labeled "poison" and well shaken before use.

Dusting Powders.

A dusting powder of equal parts of slacked lime, charcoal and sulphur is useful for application to surface wounds and sores. Boracic acid also is needed and a little iodoform may be added to keep flies away.

Liniments.

Keep on hand a pint (pound) each of turpentine and aqua ammonia. One ounce each of these mixed with a pint of soft water, in which two raw eggs have been shaken up and the mixture left for 24 hours, will make a good stimulating liniment; or one ounce of each may be mixed with 6 to 14 ounces of raw linseed oil to make a very strong or comparatively mild liniment.

Lotions.

"White lotion" for wounds has al- ready been mentioned. Equal quan- tities of lime water and raw linseed oil_ make "carron oil," an excellent lotion for burns. Two to four ounces of Goulard's extract and one to two ounces of glycerine in one quart of

soft water form a useful lotion for scratches and mud fever of itchiness and "gumminess" of the legs. A good lotion for inflammation of the udder is made by mixing together one part each of fluid extracts of poke root and belladonna leaves and one part of tur- pentine with five parts of sweet oil, melted lard or camphorated oil. It is made weaker or stronger as required. Anodyne lotion for painful swellings is made by combining equal quantities of tinctures of opium, aconite, bella- donna and druggists' soap liniment. A small quantity of chloroform may be added. Mouth lotion consists of an ounce of powdered borax or alum in a quart of soft water; eye lotion of half a dram each of sulphate of zinc and fluid extract of belladonna in a quart of soft water.

Tonics.

Fowler's solution of arsenic is a good general tonic for rundown, thin, hidebound horses and those afflicted with chronic skin diseases or heaves (broken wind). The average dose is half an ounce (one tablespoonful) given night and morning until one quart has been given. The medicine may then be gradually discontinued, taking at least a week to the work. Dried sulphate of iron (copperas), dose one dram night and morning, is another good tonic, commonly com- bined with an equal dose of ground gentian root or ginger root, nux vomica, saltpeter and fenugreek as a condition powder. The dose is one tablespoonful of the combination of drugs mixed in the feed night and morning for ten days. Omit sulphate of iron for pregnant animals. Nux is poisonous and must therefore be given with care. It is most useful as a nerve tonic and appetizer. Colic Medicines.

Keep in stock one pound each of laudanum (dose, 1 to 2 ounces); es- sence of ginger root (dose, 1 to 2 drams); sulphuric acid (dose, H to 1 ounce); turpentine (dose, 1 _ to 2 ounces); granular hpyosulphite of soda (dose, 1 to 4 ounces). A dose of each of the first three medicines in a pint of water containing two ounces of hpyosulphite of soda will prove effective for most colics. Two ounces of turpentine in a pint of raw linseed oil may be given for "wind" (flatulent)

FARMERS AND BREEDERS, STEPHENSON COUNTY

colic, or following the other medicine when the pain of "cramp" (spasmodic) colic has subsided.

Fever Medicines.

Powdered saltpeter is an important drug for animals. It is given in the fever of influenza, founder (laminitis) or lymphangitis (milk leg, also for stocking of the legs and other large swellings. A dram is the average dose. Give it every four or six hours in fever, twice daily for swellings, or with tonics as a condition powder, and in double doses for founder or milk leg. Do not give it in colt distemper, when abscesses are forming. It may often be administered in drinking water or a bran mash or damp feed. It also is given in tablespoonful doses once or twice daily for garget of the cow. Beware of aconite often given for fever. It is too dangerous a poison to be safely used by anyone other than a trained doctor.

Blister.

An effective blistering ointment is made by melting together three parts of lard and one-quarter part of finely shaved yellow beeswax, and then stirring in one part of powdered can- tharides (Spanish fly). Stir in a tin dish until cold, then store in a capped glass fruit jar. It improves with age. When using this blister clip of? the hair, wash ahe skin clean, dry it per- fectly. Tie the horse up short in his stall, rub the blister in for fifteen minutes and then smear on some more blister. Wash the blister ofif in 48 hours and then apply a little lard daily. Do not cover a blistered part, or rub it on the loins, or on top of . the hips, or use it after a poultice, or on irritated skin, or in very hot or cold weather.

Absorbents.

Never be without tincture of iodine to swab on swollen glands, tumors, forming abscesses, bony growths, capped or puffed joints, indolent sores or wounds, canker of the mouth in pigs and ringworm spots. It also is useful to inject into abscesses fistula and lump jaw cavities. Iodine oint- ment is made by mixing one dram each of iodine crystals and iodide of potash in one o.unce of lard. This is used on swellings, sore necks and shoulders, puffs of all sorts, tumors.

forminpr abscesses, ringworm spots and enlargements of the udder. As an absorbent blister rub up one dram of biniodide of mercury with two ounces of the fly blister already men- tioned and use on bony growths, such as splints and ringbone, callouses, indolent sores, tumors of the udder.

Worm Medicines.

Gasoline is kept on most farms and in tablespoonful doses in six ounces of milk is the best remedy for stomach worms in sheep. Lambs take less in proportion. Two ounces of turpen- tine in a pint of raw linseed oil is effective as a starting dose for a "wormy horse." Follow with worm powders composed of equal parts of salt, sulphur and dried sulphate of iron. Dose, one tablespoonful night and morning for a week, then skip ten days and repeat. Omit iron for preg- nant animals. For worms of swine give one teaspoonful of turpentine in slop for three consecutive days for each eighty pounds of body weight; or one dram of dried sulphate of iron in slop for five successive mornings for each hundred pounds of body weight. Where swine are known to be seriously infested with worms, give eight grains of santonin and five grains of calomel in a little slop for each hundred pounds of body weight. Divide the pigs into lots of five and give the medicine in a little slop after starving the animals for eighteen hours. Care must be taken to give only the doses here prescribed, else damage may be done.

Disinfectants. In the paragraph on wound medi- cines it has been advised to keep car- bolic acid and coal tar disinfectant in stock. To these may be added for- maldehyde, bichloride of mercury tablets and permanganate of potash crystals. In disinfecting a stable a solution of four or five ounces of for- maldehyde to the gallon, or a 1-1,000 of bichloride of mercury (corrosive sublimate) or a 1-30 solution of car- bolic acid or coal tar disinfectant should be used after a thorough clean- sing of the premises. P'or wounds a 1-1,000 solution of corrosive sublimate also is the most effective disinfectant and a 1-500 solution should be used for disinfecting when a spore-form- ing germ, like that of anthrax, is pres-

626604

PRAIRIE FARMER'S RELIABLE DIRECTORY

ent. Permanganate of potash is a useful mild disinfectant (antiseptic and deodorizer) in a 1-5,000 to a 1-50 solution. The weaker solution is used lukewarm for vaginal injection pur- poses, while the 2 per cent solution is useful for injection into cavities from which come bad-smelling discharges and for swabbing sores (cankers) of the mouth. As a wound lotion it is usual to employ a 2 to 5 per cent solution of carbolic acid, or lysol, or coal tar disinfectant. Carbolic acid is also much used as an internal disin- fectant in contagious abortion. Two drams of the acid is well diluted with water and mixed in soft feed for each pregnant cow every other night throughout pregnancy. Peroxide of hydrogen one part and clean water two or three parts is a popular dis- infectant for cleansing foul wounds. Scour Medicines.

The farm medicine chest would not be completely stocked without some remedies for diarrhoea or scours. A mixture of one part of salol and two parts of bismuth (first prescibed years ago by the writer) has become a standard remedy among farmers. The average dose is one teaspoonful given two or three times a day and washed down with milk or water. The dose may be doubled in bad cases and for larger calves and foals. Prepared chalk, powdered alum, sulphur, pow- dered catechu, rhubarb and ginger root are also much used for diarrhoea. Administering Medicines.

Small doses of liquid medicine, such as the average two-ounce dose of a fever medicine or tonic solution, are best given by means of a half-ounce hard rubber syringe. Expert veteri- narians sometimes give such medicines or bad-tasting drugs in gelatine cap- sules, or in form of a "ball." Worm, condition and tonic powders are mixed in damp grain feed. A large dose of liquid medicine is termed a "drench" and is given from a strong, long-necked bottle. A few inches of rubber hose may be fitted on the neck of such a bottle.

To drench a horse, back him into a stall, place a running noose of soft, small cotton rope or "clothes line" upon the upper incisor teeth, under the upper lip, and draw the noose tight, with the knot of the rope to

the front. Throw the loose end of the rope across an overhead beam, raise the horse's head, hold it there by means of the rope and pour the medicine into the mouth a little at a time until all is swallowed. Do not squeeze the throat of the horse when giving medicine and never pour the medicine into the nostril. If the horse will not swallow, pour a teaspoonful of cold water into a nostril and swal- lowing will instantly occur.

To drench a cow, place her in a stanchion or tie her in a stall. Walk up on her right side (milking side). Pass the left hand across her face and into her mouth. Hold her head in a straight line forward and slightly ele- vated, not turned to one side. Pour the medicine very slowly into the right side of the mouth. Let the head down instantly if the medicine causes the cow (or horse) to cough. Fluid given too fast passes into the paunch and is practically wasted. Administered slowly, it largely goes to the third and fourth stomachs and absorption takes place in the latter.

Sheep have to be very carefully drenched from a bottle to avoid chok- ing. Swine take medicine through a hole cut in the toe of an old shoe thrust into the mouth or from a short, strong rubber hose fitted in the neck of a strong bottle. Dogs take medi- cine in capsules inserted in meat or from a bottle or spoon emptied into a pouch formed of the lip and cheek.

Avoid "doping" animals unneces- sarily. Medicine should only be given when the animal is sick, should be the right medicine, and is best pre- scribed by an expert.

VALUE OF LABOR

The United States Department of Agriculture found in 1855 that it re- quired four hours and 34 minutes of human labor to produce a bushel of corn. At the Minnesota experiment station it has been found recently that 45 minutes of human labor is about the average time required for the same work. In other words, human labor is worth six times as much as it was 60 years ago, due to the use of better machinery, better varieties of corn and better soil management.

CONTROLLING CONTAGIOUS ABORTION.

From Prairie Farmer.

Contagious abortion among cattle, the annual loss from which was esti- mated a few years ago to be $20,000,- 000, is spreading so rapidly through the country that from an economic standpoint it threatens to become one of the most important of animal dis- eases. Formerly confined almost ex- clusively to dairy cows and farm beef herds, it has now found its way to the range, where losses in such instances have run as high as one-half of the calf crop. Here the conditions are such as to make its control difficult. For this reason it is important that stockmen should realize the serious- ness of the disease and the necessity for the adoption of measures for pre- venting its spread.

At the present time sanitary and hy- gienic measures are the only means of control which have demonstrated their effectiveness. The drugs and proprie- tary preparations which have been ad- vocated for the cure or prevention of the disease are regarded by the spe- cialists of the department as ineffect- ive, and their use cannot be recom- mended. On the other hand, it is certain that proper disinfection of premises, and in particular of breed- ing animals, will do much to minimize losses.

Recently preparations known as "bacterins," consisting of a suspension of the killed organisms of abortion, and serum obtained from infected animals, have come into use and can be obtained from several firms who manufacture biologic products. These products are still in the experimental stage, and much time must elapse be- fore their true value can be deter- mined. Notwithstanding this fact, this line of treatment offers the most scientific and reasonable method of combating the disease, and our only hope of eventually controlling abor- tion lies in the future development of an effective vaccine or serum.

The organism which causes the dis- ease may be conveyed from cow to cow by means of the bull or may enter the system with contaminated food. All aborting animals and all

showing a discharge should, there- fore, be isolated from the healthy members of the herd in order to elimi- nate, so far as possible, infective ma- terial. Infected stables should be thoroughly cleansed with a standard disinfectant, applied with a force or spray pump, the disinfection of the contaminated stall being repeated after each abortion. Manure and con- taminated litter should be promptly removed and plowed under to pre- vent access to it by other cattle. Detailed instructions for the disinfec- tion of both the cow and the bull are contained in Circular 216 of the Bu- reau of Animal Industry.

Many herd owners fail to observe .these precautions because they do not realize that the infection is present in their herds. The disease is insidious; it usually requires a long time to de- velop, does not reveal itself by warn- ing symptoms, and does not, indeed, appear to affect in any way the genera] health of the animal. In consequence, it is quite likely that the infection will have spread throughout the herd be- fore the owner is aware of any danger. There are, it is true, certain tests which can be employed to ascertain the presence of the infection, but from a, practical standpoint these possess some drawbacks. All infected animals do not abort. Furthermore, after two or three abortions, cows appear to ac- quire a natural immunity, and are thereafter quite capable of normal re- production, although they continue to react to the tests. A positive reac- tion, therefore, does not necessarily mean that a healthy calf will not be born.

On the other hand, the fact that several animals have aborted within a short period is in itself suggestive evi- dence of the presence of the disease. Furthermore, it sometimes happens that in cows which have acquired im- munity, although apparently healthy themselves, the infection persists and they are able to transmit the disease to others. For this reason, when the infection has once established itself in a herd, the whole herd should be con- sidered infected, and all abortions, re- tained afterbirths and all tendency to sterility should be regarded as mani- festations of the disease.

This does not mean, however, that all infected animals are to be disposed

11

PRAIRIE FARMER'S RELIABLE DIRECTORY

of. As a matter of fact, in herds in which the disease has gained a foot- hold, a cow that has aborted once or twice is in some ways more valuable than one that has not. It is safe to say that in practically no case do more than thr.ee abortions take place, and in the majority of instances there are not more than two. Cows which are not made sterile will in all probability resume normal reproduction. On the other hand, if they are removed to make way for fresh animals, there is a strong possibility that the newcomers already are, or soon will be, infected, and are actually further from immun- ity than the old ones. The elimination of infected animals is therefore not to be recommended as a means of con- trolling the disease, unless their value is not great enough to warrant the expense of treatment.

A train of complications often ac- companies abortion, and of these retained afterbirths is perhaps the commonest. This, if neglected or im- properly treated, may result in ab- sorption of poisonous products, sep- ticemia, ^nd death. Also sterility rnay follow, ruining the cow for everything except slaughter. Calf scours, too, seems more destructive in herds af- fected with abortion.

These complications, together with the great loss in calves and the less- ened milk production, make the wide and ever extending distribution of the disease a matter of tremendous im- portance, both to the dairy and beef industries.

CORN STALK DISEASE.

"By Dr. D. Mcintosh, University of Illinois, in Prairie Farmer.

This disease is caused by horses and cattle eating diseased corn stalks and especially diseased corn. In the chem- ical analysis of the diseased stalks and corn, nothing has been found so far which would cause poisoning if eaten by horses or cattle.

Some ears of corn are affected with smut, some ^ith fungus, and some with "worm dust," as it is called. From experiments that have been made none of these substances eaten separately will cause poisoning. When the diseased stalks and corn are eaten in sufficient quantities they undergo a

process of fermentation in the stom- ach, eliminating a poisonous gas, and if enough of this gas should be formed and become absorbed into the system it acts on the nerves, causing paralysis of the hind legs, and affects the nerves of respiration, causing death.

This peculiar disease is found in some parts of the country and not in others and all the corn fields in the same locality are not affected. The reason of this is not known.

The symptoms of this disease are weakness, staggering, and partial or complete loss of the use of the hind legs, and as the disease advances the animal becomes unable to stand, it falls and struggles or has convulsions, and soon dies.

The only preventive is not to feed the diseased corn to horses or cattle and to keep them out of the corn stalk fields until late in the winter. Dis- eased food of any kind is unsafe and should never be fed to horses.

In the early stage of the disease the best treatment is to give 2 ounces aro- matic spirits of ammonia and 2 ounces sweet spirits of nitre at a dose in a pint of cold water and repeat every half hour until five doses have been given. This stimulant seems to coun- teract the action of the poison and should be tried.

NEW REMEDY FOR WORMS IN HOGS.

From Prairie Farmer.

Santonin, which was formerly widely used as a remedy for worms in hogs, is practically unobtainable at the present time owing to foreign trade conditions. The following treat- ment has been found to be very effect- ive in experiments by the department of agriculture: Withhold all feed and water for 24 hours, then give each pig a tablespoonful of castor oil to which has been added oil of American worm- weed as follows:

Small pigs, 2 to 3 months old, 35 drops.

Pigs weighing SO to 100 pounds, 50- 100 drops.

Larger pigs, teaspoonful.

Each pig should be dosed separately if the best results are to be obtained. In case separate dosing is impractic- able, on account of lack of assistance

12

FARMERS AND BREEDERS, STEPHENSON COUNTY

or other circumstances, the pigs may be sorted out into lots of half a dozen each, according to size. Thoroughly mix the castor oil and wormweed oil in proper quantities with a small quan- tity of milk or mash, and give it to the pigs, watching them carefully to see that none gets more than his share. Attempting to dose too many pigs at the same time in this manner will result unsatisfactorily, as some will get more and others less than they should. This treatment should be repeated in a week or 10 days to secure 100 per cent efficiency.

HOW BIG A SILO SHALL I BUILD?

Allow 40 pounds of silage per day for each mature cow and half this amount for each head of young stock.

Figure on feeding the silage for about 200 days each year.

From the accompanying table find the dimensions of the structure that will hold the total quantity needed. The figures are based on silos that have been filled with well matured corn, which has been allowed to set- tle 48 hours, and then refilled.

The deeper the silo in relation to its diameter and the tighter and better it is built, the smaller the allowance that must be made for spoiled ma- terial. In any case it is wise to build a bigger silo than you absolutely need to allow for shrinkage, an unexpect- edly long season and a possible in- crease in the size of your herd.

The cost of filling will vary with the degree of system employed, the distance of hauling involved, the quantity of labor, etc. From record? kept on nineteen Illinois farms, it was found to vary from 40 to 67 cents per ton, with an average of 56 cents.

HOW TO BUILD A PIT SILO

By Albert Miller, in Prairie Farmer

The first thing to do in building a silo of this type is to get an 8-inch pesthole auger, with additional gas pipe to extend it to the required length; then auger down at the place where the silo is intended to be made^ and find out beforehand the nature of the soil, also how far down it is to the first water vein.

Then, after having the necessary materials on hand, such as brick, ce- ment and sand, make a radius hole and mark off the circumference of whatever the diameter of the silo shall be. Then start digging, being very careful to get the first three or four feet exactly plumb and true to the re- quired circle. If the soil is of such a nature that it will stand well without any danger of caving, then it is best to dig it all out as deep as necessary or not any deeper than within a foot

or so from the water vein. After excavating the whole silo a scaffold can be arranged very easily by simply standing four 2 by 6-inch scantling inside, long enough so they reach within four or five feet from the top, where some footboards can be nailed across at several places and plank laid down to work from. The brick should continue well down below frost line, but not any higher than about five feet above ground. A flat cover with building paper over it is all that is needed for a roof, and it should be made so it can easily be removed at the time of filling the silo.

For hoisting the dirt out in digging the silo the best way is to use a so- called hay derrick, with a swinging arm, such as is used for stacking hay. This arm will swing to almost any part of the silo, and after the team

FARMERS AND BREEDERS, STEPHENSON COUNTY

rreeport Putolic Iiibrary, Freeport, Xlliuois

hoists the dirt the man that dumps the dirt can easily swing it away from the silo. A 50-gallon kerosene barrel makes an elegant pail for hoisting the dirt. The handle must be made from about %-inch rod iron, and it must be hooked a little below center on the barrel, which makes it very easy to dump the full barrel of dirt; no mat- ter how heavy the load, if it balances it turns over as easy as a barrel churn. Only one barrel is needed. Thirty barrels an hour can easily be sent out of the silo, even in the hard- est clay, with two men digging 10 feet per day on a 12-foot diameter silo.

This type of silo can also be made where there is nothing^ but pure quartz sand, where the digging part is a snap; but in such a case the brick wall must be continued clear down to the bottom. As the sand caves in easily, it requires a little more care, but there is no need of any curbing by going at it in the right way.

The cost of building a silo of this kind, especially where it can be cen- tered right to the dirt wall, is remark- ably low as compared with all types above ground. A silo 12 feet in diam-

eter and 20 'feet deep costs for the material and mason work about $35. It should take no more than two days digging it out; that is, to have two men in the silo digging; one to dump the dirt and one to handle the team. One mason should do the cement work and bricklaying in two more days; thus it takes only $35 cash money for material and mason work, and a total of four days' work to complete a silo that will take care of five acres of good corn; thus we see that it would cost more to fix a stor- ing place above ground, even if we would build it out of the very poorest and cheapest lumber, or any other material on the market.

This, however, is not the largest gain, even though it is well worth taking into consideration. The great- est gain and satisfaction comes in when the perfectly pure, unfrozen silage comes up with a flavor similar to a can of delicious fruit from a cel- lar. Why have a cellar? Why not have vegetables and fruit upstairs or above ground? Old Mother Earth is a great preserver. Jack Frost is the greatest destroyer.

FINDING WEIGHT OF SILAGE

From Prairie Farmer. In computing the amount of silage in a silo it is first necessary to find the number of cubic feet of silage. This is done by multiplying the dia- meter of the silo by itself by .7854, and by the depth of the silage. Thus since the silo is 16 by 40 we have: 16 by 16 by .7854 by 40 equals 8042.- 496 cubic feet.

Next we multiply the number of cubic feet by the mean weight of a cubic foot of the silage. From a table giving fthe mean weight of sil- age per cubic foot, which was pub- lished in Prairie Farmer Oct. 23, 1915, we find that the mean weight of a cubic foot of silage in a full 40 foot silo is 45.5 pounds. This would give a total of 365,933,568 pounds, or ap- proximately 183 tons of silage.

In case your silo is not full we are reprinting the table, from which you can figure the weight of silage for various depths:

Mean Weight of Silage Depth of Silage Per Cubic Foot

1 18.7

10 26.1

15 29.8

20 33.3

25 36.5

30 39.0

35 43.0

40 45.5

45 47.0

50 48.5

The Illinois Experiment Station found that it cost $3.30 per ton to produce silage. This was of corn that yielded considerable more than 20 bushels per acre. At this price, however, it would probably give you but a fair profit on your silage.

SEALING THE SILO

From Prairie Farmer.

Practice in sealing silos ranges from leaving the top in the shape it is at the close of filling to covering with straw on which, after it is thor- oughly wetted, are sown oats, their germination forming a dense mass that shuts out the air. If no special steps to seal the silo are taken the farmer may expect to find from a foot to a foot and a half of silage at the top which is unfit to feed.

Siome farmers wet the top of the silage and sow oats directly upon it. On many farms cornstalks from which the ears have been removed are avail- able for silo sealing. This is a very convenient material for the purpose, as the stalks may be run through the silage cutter following the ear corn. The cut cornstalks should be packed thoroughly and soaked with water.

SILAGE FOR DAIRY COWS

While silage is an excellent feed for dairy stock, it should be combined with some other leguminous feed, such as clover, cow peas, or alfalfa, owing to its insufficient productive quality.

The leguminous material will tend to correct the deficiencies of the sil- age in dry matter, protein, and min- eral constituents. A ration of silage and, say, alfalfa hay alone is satisfac- tory, however, only for cows which are dry or giving only a small amount of milk and for heifers and bulls. Cows in full milk require some con- centrated feed in addition to hay and silage, as they can not consume enough of these feeds to keep up a large flow of milk and maintain body weight.

The amount of silage to feed a cow will depend upon the capacity of the animal to consume feed. She should be fed as much as she will clean up without waste when consumed along with her hay and grain. Raise or lower the amount until the proper quantity is ascertained. Generally speaking, a good cow should be fed just short of the limit of her appe- tite. If she refuses any of her feed it should be reduced at once. The small breeds will eat 25 or 30 pounds per day; the large breeds 40 or more; and the medium-sized ones amounts varying between.

Ironclad directions for feeding cows can not be given. In general, however, they should be supplied A^ith all the roughage they will clean up with grain in proportion to butter- fat produced. The hay will ordinarily range between five and 12 pounds per cow per day when fed in connec- tion with silage. For Holsteins one pound of concentrates for each four pounds of milk produced will prove

16

FARMERS AND BREEDERS, STEPHENSON COUNTY

about right. For Jerseys one pound for each three pounds of milk or less will come nearer meeting the require- ments. The grain for other breeds will vary between these two accor-d- ing to the quality of milk produced. A good rule is to feed seven times as much grain as there is butterfat produced.

The following rations will be found good:

In case the hay used is not of this kind some of the corn chop may be replaced by linseed or cottonseed meal. In many instances brewers' dried grains or crushed oats may be profitable substituted for bran, and oftentimes gluten products can be used to advantage in place of bran or oil meals.

The time to feed silage is directlj after milking or at least several hours before milking. If fed immediately before milking the silage odors may pass through the cow's body into the milk. Besides, the milk may re- ceive some taints directly from the stable air. On the other hand, ii feeding is done subsequent to milk- ing, the volatile silage odors will have been thrown off before the next milk- ing hour. Silage is usually fed twice a day.

DAIRY COW FEEDS

From Prairie Farmer.

Farmer's Bulletm 743 of the U. S. Department of Agriculture contains a number of grain feed mixtures for dairy cows, which may be of interest. We will quote a few of them.

Grain mixtures to be fed with roughages of the low protein class, such as corn silage, corn stover, tim- othy or millet hays, etc.:

Mixture 7 — Per centage of digestible portein, 19.4:

400 pounds corn meal.

200 pounds cotton seed meal.

300 pounds gluten feed.

400 pounds dried brewers' grains.

Mixture 9 — Percentage of digestible protein, 18.4:

300 pounds corn cob meal.

200 pounds cotton seed meal.

Grain mixtures to fed with high protein roughage, such as clover, al- falfa, etc.:

Give the cow all the roughage she will eat up -clean. Grain mixture should be fed in the proportion of one pound of grain to three to four pounds of milk.

SOME FACTS ABOUT STOCK FOOD

Water is contained in all foods and feeding stufifs. The amount varies from 8 to 15 pounds per 100 pounds of such dry materials as hay, straw, or grain, to 80 pounds in silage and 90 pounds in some roots.

Dry matter is the portion remain- ing after removing or excluding the water.

Ash is what is left when the coni- bustible part of a feeding stuflE is burned away. It consists chiefly of lime, magnesia, potash, soda, iron, chlorin, and and carbonic, siilphuric, and phosporic acids, and is used largely in making bones. Part of the ash constituents of the food is stored up in the animal's body; the rest is voided in the urine and ma- nure.

Protein (nitrogenous matter) is the name of a group of substances containing nitrogen. Protein furn- ishes the materials for the lean flesh, blood, skin, muscles, tendons, nerves, hair, horns, wool, casein of milk, al- bumen of eggs, etc., and is one of

the most important constituents of feeding stuffs.

Gluten is the name given to . one of the most important of the nitro- genous substances classed together under the general term "protein." "Wheat gum," obtained by carefully chewing wheat, is a familiar example. It is the gluten of flour that gives consistency to the dough.

Carbohydrates. — The nitrogen-free extract and fibre are ofen classed to- gether under the name of carbohy- drates. The carbohydrates form the largest part of all vegetable foods. They are either stored up as fat or burned in the body to produce heat and energy. The most common and important carbohydrates are sugar and starch.

Fibre, sometimes called crude cel- lulose, is the framework of plants, and is, as a rule, the most indigestible contituent of feeding stuflfs. The coarse fodders, such as hay and straw, contain a much larger propor- tion of fibre than the grains, oil cakes, etc.

Nitrogen-free extract includes starch, sugar, gums, and the like, and forms an important part of all feed- ing stufifs, but especially of most grains.

Fat, or the materials dissolved from a feeding stuff by ether, is a substance of mixed character, and may include, besides real fats, wax, the green coloring matter of plants, etc. The fat of food is either stored up in the body as fat or burned to furnish heat and energy.

BINDER TROUBLES AND ADJUSTMENTS

By C. O. Reed. University of Illinois, in Prairie Farmer.

To have to await the services of an expert when every minute of the har- vest days is money is not only an ex- pensive practice, but in most cases is an unnecessary one if the operator will only use patience and good judg- ment and try to understand a few very sim-ple principles of what seems a complicated machine. The purpose of this article is to aid the operator in his most common binder troubles. To cover the ground in the most log- ical and concise manner, let us con- sider troubles under the three general heads: ger.eral binder troubles, bind- er head troubles and knotter head troubles.

Starting. If possible, start the new machine on a road or in a pasture before going into the grain field. Use plenty of kerosene and run the ma- chine empty for about five minutes, taking notice that every duct to bear- ings and every oil hole is open. Then apply lubricating oil. When you are ready to enter the grain with a new machine, raise the machine well up, tilt the platform forward; open the throat of the machine by throwing the butt adjuster forward and start in with about one-half of a full swath. After five minutes work the machine is ready for maximum results. If compelled to make a full swath at the start, cut the grain extra high.

Never change the adjustment of a new binder head before going into the field. It may miss a few bundles at first, but do not adjust. Apply a lib- eral amount of coal oil to the knotter head and the trouble will usually dis- appear.

New Machine Failing to Start. Oc- casionally a new machine fails to start due to some part sticking or catch- ing. Throw the binder out of gear and see that the bull wheel revolves without catching. Remove the eleva- tor chain and throw in gear. This will test the sickle. Next put on ele- vator chain and throw off reel chains. This will test the rollers. Then con- nect and test the reel. This method

will test one part at a time and should locate the trouble without difficulty. In testing out head for failure to re- volve, operate head by hand at back of machine through shaft which drives head from elevator chain.

General Binder Troubles

Chains. Undue wear in chains may be caused by the chain being run too tight or backwards. Run the chain with the hooks of the links leading and with the openings of the hooks out. The use of oil or grease on chains, if the binder is being run in a sandy country or under dusty con- ditions, is not to be recommended, for the oil will collect the fine parti- cles of grit and cause excessive wear. Under such conditions use dry graph- ite. Chain jumping is caused by the chain being too loose or by the sprocket being badly worn. If a worn sprocket is the cause for the trouble a new one will have to be supplied.

Canvas Troubles. The creeping of canvases is caused by running them too loose or by the elevators not be- ing square. Test the elevators to see if they are square by means of meas- uring the diagonals, and then square by the special apparatus to be found for that purpose. Have the canvases of the same tightness on both sides.

Canvases not elevating the grain rnay be caused by missing slats of loose canvases. Broken slats are gen- erally caused by the elevators not be- ing square, or by the canvases not being buckled evenly and thus the slat is forced to pass over the roller at an angle to it. Chewed slats may be caused by a projecting bolt or the canvas guides being out of shape.

Heavy Draft. Heavy draft may be caused from lack of sufficient good lubricating oil, bull wheel being en- tered in quadrant wrong; chains, espe- cially main drive chain, beings too tight; paint or varnish not being cut out of the bearings; or rollers binding. Apply lubricating oil to the bearings

19

PRAIRIE FARMER'S RELIABLE DIRECTORY

Enter the bull wheel in the quadrant square. Have the proper tension in the chains. Coal oil will cut the paint or varnish from bearing surfaces. When machine is empty, operator should be able to move elevators by hand on elevator chain.

Sidedraft. Sidedraft in a binder re- fers to such resistance of the platform end of the machine as to cause a "dragging" of platform, and hence re- sults in a tendency to run the ma- chine into the grain. It may be caused by (a) grain wheel bearing too light; (b) grain wheel being out of proper adjustment; (c) sickle parts not cutting properly, resulting in a pulling ofif of stalks rather than cut- ting; (d) very light grain may give a condition where sidedraft is more no- ticeable, and (e) a fast horse on the outside may lead the operator to be- lieve he has sidedraft.

Remedies, (a) See that grain wheel revolves freely and perfectly on axle. If axle, bearings and wheel bell are badly worn, replace, (b) The inexpe- rienced operator cannot tell whether a grain wheel is aligned properly or not. It should lead out of the grain slightly, and in case of poor align- ment here, an expert must be called. (c) Obvious. (d) Sidedraft here is an advantage rather than an objec- tion for it indicates the best construc- tion, (e) Put fast horse on inside.

If difficulty is experienced in get- ting far enough into the grain with a tongue truck attachment, make adjust- ments to increase the angle between the platform and tongue proper, i. e., without changing position of machine make adjustments to let horses away from grain slightly. If machine runs too far into grain, make adjustments to bring horses a little closer to grain line. These adjustments can be found between tongue and stub tongue on the McCormick and Milwaukee bind- ers, and in the truck axle braces on the Deering. If sufficient adjustment is not provided in the Deering to per- mit a full swath, turn the tongue over.

Badly Shaped Bundles in good grain are caused by improper manip- ulation of binder parts. Set the reel to strike straws about two inches be- low the heads. Run the butter as near at right angles to the rollers on tier shaft as possible, even if you have to sacrifice an inch or two in

the position of the band on the bun- dle. Do not expect the butter to shove the straws down under the breast plate. Adjust the position of the head to bring the straws under the breast plate and then adjust the butter to smooth the butt of the bun- dle. In uneven grain the head, but- ter and reel must be shifted often to obtain the best results. In very short grain or in down grain leaning toward the elevators we have probably the worst conditions for good bundle making, especially for eight-foot bind- ers. First, do all possible to retard the heads by running the platform as level as possible and place a rope head-retarder across the platform, ty- ing the same to the outside divider frame. A rope head-retarder is often found to give better results than the retarding strap iron sent out with the machine, but if the latter is used, the operator will find that he gets very good results in retarding heads by bending up or crinkling the end of the strap iron. Throw the head as far forward as possible and run the butter as near perpendicular to the rollers as possible to still have the bundle securely tied. Tighten the front grain check.

Badly Shaped Bundles in Long Tangled Greiin can be remedied by loosening all grain checks slightly and by adjusting the head to tie a smaller, looser bundle.

Getting Grain Down to Packers. Trouble is sometim.es experienced in getting light, fluffy grain down to the packers. See that the deck roller is working properly and lower the deck cover.

Choking Down. Sometimes in heavy, flufTy and tangled grain, and often in flax, the head cannot dis- charge a bundle and is stopped by "choking." Adjust the head to tie a smaller, looser bundle, loosen all grain checks and loosen the tension on the compressor spring, which is the spring attached to the compres- sor rod.

Bundles Too Loose or Too Tight. Tighten or loosen the trip spring shown in Illustration 1 and described below under "Binder Head Troubles." Do not attempt to make a tight bun- dle by tightening the twine tension on the twine can. The twine tension* is not for the purpose of affecting the

tightness of bundles and if it is used for such purpose serious needle troubles will result. The twine ten- sion should be sufficiently tight to keep back slack in the twine between the can and needle.

Bundles Too Large or Too Small. Move the compressor arm nearer or farther away from the needle. The compressor arm is that arm against which the bundle is formed and as it is moved in or out that space in which the bundle is formed is changed.

Reel Troubles. Short oats is often the cause for considerable reel trouble, especially reel breakage on those ma- chines which have no outside reel support. The 'operator cutting short oats will necessarily have to tilt his platform well forward and run his reel low. This means that occasion- ally the reel slats will whip down onto the guards and result in broken parts. Farmers in some localities have solved this difficulty by tacking on to each reel slat a piece of heavy linoleum about six inches wide. The reel can then be run higher, for this extra piece on the slats serves ad- mirably to force the grain over onto the platform and at the same time is sufficiently flexible to give if the reel is whipped down on the guards.

Binder Head Troubles

Before taking up binder head trou- bles let us refer to the first illustra- tion and get clearly in mind the exact function of the parts mentioned. Every operator is aware that his packer shaft revolves continually and

that at certain moments it must drive the whole binder head while the bun- dle is being tied and cast. The dog, shown in the illustration, is that mechanism which throws the head in motion with the rest of the ma- chine, or it is that mechanism which momentarily engages the head with the continuous motioa' of the packers while the bundle is being tied. Suf- ficient pressure by the straw on the trip arm raises the stop arm, shown in the illustration, which allows the dog to be forced into the path of the continually revolving binder head driver. A little spring attached to the dog forces the dog into the path of this driver when the dog is released, and this same spring holds the dog in this path until the stop arm can drop back into plc^c^ and force the dog back out of the way of the revolving drivers ol the packer shc^ft. When the dog is thrown back out of the path of the binder head drivers, the motion in the head ceases and the dog, if properly working, must re- main engaged with the packer shaft until the discharge arms make a com- plete revolution. The continuity of motion in the head depends upon the do.ar.

Discharge Arms Fail to Start or Fail to Revolve Completely, This is a dog trouble. See that the dog spring is in place and is of sufficient strength to hold the dog in the path of the binder head drivers when the dog is released. See also that the striking faces of the dog and dog driver are not worn sufficiently to permit them

21

PRAIRIE FARMER'S RELIABLE DIRECTORY

to slip by one another. If the dis- charge arms revolve by jerks it is very probable that a worn condition in the striking faces is the cause.

Discharge Arms Revolve Continu- ally. Before discussing this trouble a word should be said regarding timing. It will be noticed that every part of the binder head except the packers works at a certain moment in rela- tion to other parts. The dog makes a Certain number of revolutions before the stop arm is allowed to drop back Into place to throw the dog out of J^ngagement with the binder head drivers. Hence the relation between the stop arm and the dog is a set relation maintained through beveled gears. If for any reason these gears «re separated and not put back in the ftriginal definite relation to each mher, the head is said to be out of time; This means that the stop arm 'Sifould not be in place at the proper moment to throw the dog out of en- gagement and a second revolution of the discharge arm immediately fol- lows the first. The timing principle holds true in all makes of heads and k obtained in a way more or less common in all types, though the inechanism will vary to some degree 1ft its shape and position. If the dis- charge arms revolve continually the head may be out of time or the stop nrm face may be so badly worn that It allows the dog to slip by when the fr«vo come together. If the machine is out of time, i. e., if the stop arm is not in place to throw the dog out in the proper time, time the head by properly meshing the beveled gears between the packer shaft and the binder head counter shaft which runs up to drive the tier shaft. If the striking faces between the dog and the stop arm are so worn that they filip by one another, file the faces to their original form. If this allows too much play or looseness in the dog (which can be tested by taking hold of the discharge arms to deter- mine whether they are tight or loose) <» new dog or perhaps a new stop i»rm must be purchased. Some ma- *>hines permit lengthening of the stop hrm. Look for such adjustment and use same to hold the dog back tighter. Casting Very Small Bundles. There are two causes for this trouble. The dog may not be thrown out at the

proper time, and the remedy for such a condition has been just stated above. Small bundles often appear in badly tangled grain when the cast bundle is not cleaned from the machine and its weight trips the head again immedi- ately and a small bundle is cast which seems to be really a part of the first. Manipulate the machine to make a clean bundle, loosen the grain checks, adjust the trip spring to tie a looser bundle and adjust the compressor arm to tie a smaller bundle.

Discharge Arms Not Set Tight, or Dog Drive Strikes Dog. Usually these two conditions accompany one another and are due to extreme wear in gears and dog, or tier shaft lock may have become loosened. The tier shaft lock is usually a little dog working behind the tier shaft cam wheel at the end of the tier shaft. It holds the discharge arms in place when they are at rest. Examine your binder head for this mechanism and if it can be adjusted usually the trouble can be remedied by such ad- justment. If the cam track in tier shaft cam wheel acts as the lock, new parts may have to be added to relieve badly worn conditions, but this will not necessarily remedy the striking between dog and driver. If head is very badly worn and all gear- ing has considerable play, the dog may be advanced one cog which will bring the head into better time. Great care must be used in doing this, how- ever, for it often happens that a head so treated will work perfectly when operated by hand, but when driven by the packer shaft under actual con- ditions the tier shaft is not compelled to complete its revolution and thus is not "driven home" and locked. This will then result in the discharge arms dropping down and in greater inter- ference between dog and driver. It is sometimes found necessary to re- place badly worn gears, in order to entirely eliminate this trouble.

Knotter Head Troubles

All binders are very similar. They combine the same principles, and al- though the detail of the mechanism may dififer somewhat, still for every vital part on one make of machine there can be found on each other machine a part similar in function, very similar in shape, and often very

23

FARMERS AND BREEDERS, STEPHENSON COUNTY

KNOTTEH BILLS

similar in position. This is particu- larly true in the knotter head or that portion of the binder head which ties the knot. In discussing these troubles then, let us bear in mind that every make of binder has in some form each part shown in the second illus- tration, and that the functions of these parts are the same though the posi- tion and shape may vary slightly.

The disc is that part which holds the end of the twine while the bundle is being formed. The bills, also shown in the illustration, are those parts which tie the knot. It is the function of the needle to bring up^ the needle end of the band, place it over the bills and into the disc where the disc catches it and securely holds both ends. The bills then revolve, forming a loop about themselves, and after revolving part way they open, seize both ends of the band, as shown in the illustration, and hold the ends of the band while the stripper arm pulls

the loop off the bills — hence the ends of the band are pulled through the loop and the knot is tied. If these operations are kept clearly in mind the operator will find his tying trou- bles greatly simplified.

Each operator should be able to tell just where his trouble lies by ex- amining the failing band and noting where it is found.

In the third illustration. Figure 1 found clinging to the bills with the simple knot tied around the bills and the loose end cut square and smooth, indicates that the disc spring is too loose and the twine tension is too tight.

The same band found cast with the bundle instead of clinging to the bills would indicate that the disc is but slightly loose, yet too loose. The band indicating such trouble is shown in Fig. 2.

Fig. 3 found clinging to the bills but with the free end crushed and

ragged indicates that the disc is too tight and that the twine tension is also too tight.

Fig. 4 found cast with the bundle instead of on the bills indicates that the twine tension is perfect but that the disc is slightly too tight.

Fig. 5 found with the cast bundle and with both ends crushed and ragged indicates that the disc is very tight. ^

Notice the bent crinkled ends in Fig. 6 and that the band is formed with the bundle. The ends have been in the knot but have pulled out. The bills may be too loose or the "hump" on the underside of the upper bill may be worn away sufficiently so that the bills cannot hold the ends of the band securely enouoh when the loop is pulled off. This probably has caused a loose knot which pulled out when the bundle spread. If the bills are too loose tighten the bills spring. If the little "hump" is worn away file away a little of the stock behind the hump, using a rat-tail file.

Fig. 8 is the familiar band which seems to be tied perfectly when the bundle is first cast, but when the shocker grasps the bundle the band gives way and appears as shown. If the disc is at the proper tension, then the trouble is probably that the bills do not' open wide enough to grasp both ends of the twine in the disc. If the bills cam roller on the back of the upper bill is worn one-sided, sup-

ply new parts. If the whole bills shaft has dropped down due to wear below the bills pinion gear, place a very thin washer under pinion to bring the bills up against the knotter head frame where they belong. It sometimes happens that a very loose twine tension allows sufficient slack in the twine to arch slightly over the bills instead of being pulled down tightly over them. The upper bill will then nose in between the bands' ends instead of grasping both of them and a simple slip knot is tied instead of a hard knot.

Fig. 9 indicates a needle trouble. For some reason the needle has not placed the twine in the disc. Most likely the needle has carried up some green stuff of some kind which mo- mentarily clogs the disc. If this band occurs frequently, however, then prob- ably the eye of the needle has be- come so badly worn back, due to too tight a tension, that the needle can not advance far enough to place the twine in the disc. The needle should advance until it just barely touches the stripper or breast plate._ If it does not advance that far it is prob- ably slow and the needle pitman should be shortened slightly.

Make all binder head and knotter head adjustments gradually. A quar- ter of a turn of the studs on the disc and knotter bills springs is ample to remedy most troubles in those parts.

CORN PLANTER ADJUSTMENTS

By C. O. Reed, University of Illinois in Prairie Farmer.

Not all of our implement troubles are to be found in the plow or in the binder. The corn planter has troubles of its own, and it is the purpose of this article to discuss some of the corn planter principles and troubles that are often misunderstood.

Accuracy in Drop

Some corn growers say that ac- curacy of drop is not an important factor with them because two kernels in one hill and four in the next gives an average of three kernels per hill and that is the number desired. The fallacy of this statement is very ap- parent when we stop to consider that in such planting we have not the de- sired three kernels in either hill; and if the soil is three-kernel soil, two kernels per hill are too few while four kernels are too many. The re- sult is probably a loss in each hill.

A certain soil may give the best yield with either two, three or four kernels per hill, but after it has been ascertained which number of kernels is best every effort should be made to secure that number in each hill where the soil conditions remain constant. The variable drop devices on planters afford ample opportunity to shift from two to three or from three to four kernels per hill as the soil conditions through the row may demand, but the advisability of permitting inac- curacy in drop from hill to hill is questionable.

The first two requisites for accu- racy in drop are (a) seed of uniform size, and (b) the selection of the proper seed plate. Hand tipped and butted corn or machine sorted corn will give seed as uniform in shape and size of kernel as is practical, but unsorted seed may be relied upon to cause inaccurate dropping.

Testing out the planter to make sure that the proper plate is used is to be strongly advocated. Last year's plate may not be the best one for this year's seed, for if there is a slight difference in the average size of ker- nels between the two years, a corre- sponding change miy be necessary in

the size of the seed pits in the plate used. The following table taken from laboratory tests shows the danger of carelessness in selecting the seed plate. The planter was set to drop three-kernel hills, and the plates "small" and "large" were plates next size smaller and next size larger than the proper or right sized plate found.

Right Small sized Large plate plate plato Per cent of blank hill.. 9.34 .00 .00 Per cent of hills contain- ing 1 kernel 29.36 .26 .28

Per cent of hills contain- ing 2 kernels 37.54 8.66 5.3

Per cent of hills contain- ing 3 kernels 20.48 88.12 81.28

Per cent of hills contain- ing 4 kernels 2.66 2.84 11.48

Per cent of hills contain- ing 5 kernels 62 .12 1.66

These figures tend to show that a slight mistake in plate selection may lead to a direct loss in stand. There may be but a very slight difference between two pairs of plates — so slight perhaps that we can not detect the difference by eye — but a test of the two pairs will quickly show that one of those pairs means a good drop while the other paii is dangerous and its use should be avoided. Testing can be done when time at the barn permits and will not only mean a sav- ing of time in the field but will also enable the operator to avoid a mis- take before it is too late.

Each operator will have his own method of testing out the planter but he should heed these three rules: (1) Let each test consist of at least 50 or 60 hills; (2) run the planter parts at field speed; (3) do not give up until the best plate is found. Probably the quickest way to test is to run the planter in the farm yard, providing the chickens do not get the corn be- fore we can count it. Rainy day test- ing on the barn floor is a little more troublesome but can be very success- fully accomplished by two persons as follows Jack the planter up over a blanket stretched tight on the floor so that the furrow openers will be about three inches above the blanket when

25

PRAIRIE FARMER'S RELIABLE DIRECTORY

the depth lever is thrown forward. One man can then turn the drive wheel, trip the check arm and call out the number of kernels dropped, while the second person records the count. After each hill is dropped the kernels are brushed away by foot of the man turning the drive wheel. Glancing at the drop without recording the count simplifies the process but it is not an accurate method and should be avoided when possible.

Accuracy of drop may be secured further by keeping the seed hoppers at least half full at all times.

Blank Hills at the Ends of Rows

Accuracy of drop depends also to some extent upon the speed of the valves. It sometimes happens that at one end of the row we will happen to stop the team just as the button on the check wire has begun to force the check arm. The valves work so slowly at such a time or stop at such a point that in some planters the seed at the top of the boot drops clear through to the ground instead of be- ing intercepted at the bottom of the boot. Two hills drop at once, then, and when we have turned around there are no kernels at the lower valve ready for the first hill on the return trip. On some planters we may overcome the difficulty by foot dropping one hill while the team is turning. On other planters the only remedy is to stop sooner at the end of the row or to drive ahead at usual speed until the wire has released the check arm.

Accuracy in Check

Considerable attention is usually given to securing accurate checking, but a word regarding the adjustment will not be amiss. Accurate checking means possibility of closer cultivation and less loss by cultivating out hills. The manufacturer has found that un- der usual conditions the check wire will travel from one to three inches across the field, and inasmuch as the slack will always be ahead of the machine, he designs his planter to drop the hill at a distance behind the button equal to one-half the travel. On the return trip the hill is again dropped behind the button and thus the hills should check in spite of the wire travel. It can readily be seen then that if ^ our shoes or furrow openers are dropping nearer to or farther away from the button than half the wire travel,^ our system for securing good checking will be ma- terially interfered with and adjust- ments must be made at A in Fig. 1.

This tongue adjustment will vary on the different makes of planters. On some it is at the rear end of the tongue, but it will be found on all the popular makes. As a rule the front frame of the planter should be run level, and it can be so run with a properly drawn check wire. But dif- ferent tensions on the wire drawn by different drivers may necessitate throwing the front frame slightly out of a horizontal position. If the planter drops too close to the button, make such tongue adjustment as will

FARMERS AND BREEDERS, STEPHENSON COUNTY

A Spread Cbeck Fork May Cause Struiging'

drop the furrow openers back a little toward the wheels. To some extent tightening the check wire will accom- plish the same result in the check. Forcing the furrow openers a little ahead by means of the tongue adjust- ment will cause the hill to be dropped a little clo-e to the button, or having the check wire a little more slack will have the same result in the check. In testing for accuracy of check by digging up hills, select hills pretty close behind the planter. Adjusting the neckyoke straps will also afifect the check. The adjustment shown in Fig. 1 is also a means of maintaining a good check when dififerent heights of teams are used and when the dif- ference cannot be compensated for by adjusting the neckyoke straps.

Uniform tension in the check wire must be maintained if accurate check- ing is to result. Some drivers even go so far as to make allowance for the expansion and contraction of the check wire due to varying tempera-

ture from day to day, but this is get- ting too particular to be practical. It is practical, however, where plant- ing is being done up end down a slope, to pull the wire tighter when setting the high stake.

Uniform Depth of Planting

In planting over a rough field, a more uniform depth can often be se- cured by floating the furrow openers, but when this is done the operator should keep the openers under foot control so that the shoes may be forced to their depth in dry spots and kept from planting too deep in moist, soft spots. There are a number of shoe gauges now on the market which attach to shoes to insure uniform depth when floating is desirable. Such attachments should prove valuable if properly used where the conditions demand. Stringing of the hill may be caused by (a) dirt in the boot, and (b) by a spread check arm. Trouble from the first cause will probably be

27

PRAIRIE FARMER'S RELIABLE DIRECTORY

due to the team having set back on the planter while the shoes were still in the ground. Clean out the boot bottom thoroughly and the rest of the remedy is obvious. Trouble (b) is less easily detected. If the check arm is spread as is shown at B in Fig. 2, the wire button will let go of the check arm before the valves have been forced wide open, to the result that the kernels will be strung out in the row rather than being dropped well together. By means of a ham- mer, drive the arm halves ^;ogether to their original position, but in so doing care must be taken not to get the halves so closely together that bind- ing of the wire will result. The check arm halves can be left straight as shown at A in Fig. 2. Some opera- tors find that stringing is due to a badly worn shoe. If this is deter- mined to be the cause, new parts must usually be supplied.

Clutch Troubles

Clutches on the various planters differ so widely in design that no spe- cific rules can be given that would apply to all makes. Failure of the clutch to grip or release can often be overcome by thoroughly cleaning the parts, and if the striking forces are worn round, new parts may have to be secured. On most planters this means but slight expense and a little patience.

Timing the Plate Rims

Breakage may necessitate removal of the rim which drives the plate. This rim is timed with the pinion on the shaft which drives the plates from the clutch, and when the rim is re- placed on the machine the "time" must be re-established. If the plate rim is out of time with the pinion, inaccu- racy will result because the plate it- self will not stop at the proper time.

On some machines the cog teeth of the rim and pinion are so marked or constructed that it is very easy to ascertain the proper relation between the two castings. Before removing the rim the operator should carefully seek any such guides so that he may know just how to replace the parts. If no guide Is found on the arm and on the shaft pinion, make a mark on each by means of a cold chisel, and then in replacing parts bring these

two marks into the same relation to each other as at first. It sometimes happens that after replacing a rim or adding a new one, it breaks as soon as it revolves. This is due to non- timing.

The question is often asked: "Is the disc furrow opener preferable to the ordinary shoe runner?" The sin- gle disc opener has better penetration than the shoe and will cut through trash to better advantage, but it throws the soil to one side and cover- ing is made more difficult. The dou- ble disc has less penetrating ability than the single disc, but covering can be more easily accomplished after it.

In hard, trashy ground, then, the disc opener should prove preferable to the shoe opener, but in a well pre- pared seed bed, well free from surface trash, the shoe is strongly advocated because of its simplicity. The planter with disc openers cannot be consid- ered a heavy draft implement, but the discs carry bearings which must work in soil and one may always expect trouble with such a combination.

HOW TO MEND THE HAY ROPE

By C. O. Reed, University of Illinois in Prairie Farmer.

To repair a broken or badly weak- ened strand, complete the break as shown in Fig. 1 and unlay each end of the strand back about 2 feet as

shown at A and B in Fig. 2. Take a strand about five feet long from a piece of rope exactly the same size as the hay rope, and lay it into the

place of the broken strand as shown in Figs. 3 and 4, great caution being taken to give the new strand its orig- inal twist and to draw it sufficiently- tight, so that the old and new strands will have the same tension when the load is applied. We now have ,tne ends, as shown in Fig. 5. With each pair of ends, tie a simple knot, as shown in the upper rope in Fig. 6, caution being taken to avoid tying the knot shown in the lower half of the same picture. Pull the knots well down into the lay of the rope. Now weave each end in, always working from right to left in weaving, or at right angles to the twist or spiral. Work each end under the two

strands, laying next to the knot as with ends B and D in Fig. 7. Work the ends in a second time and then cut them ofif, leaving about a quarter of an inch extending out of the rope, as shown in Fig. 8. This completes the repairing of a broken strand. The rope will be stronger than its pre- vious dangerous condition, and if the repair is properly made, it will be hard to detect and will last as long as the rope is serviceable.

If the hay rope is broken or breaks during the hay season, mend it with a long splice which can be quickly made with a little practice. The short splice should not be used in hay ropes. Proceed with the long splice as follows:

30

FARMERS AND BREEDERS, STEPHENSON COUNTY

About 2J^ feet from the ends of the rope at the break, tie a piece of twine securely around the rope. Un- lay all three strands in each end back to the twines. Now bring the ends of the rope together securely so that each strand from one end lies alone between two strands of the other end, as shown in Fig. 9. Each strand from each end must now be paired with 'a corresponding strand from the other end, the strands of each pair standing in the same relation to each other as the strands in each other pair; for instance, in Fig. 9 strands 3 and 5 are paired and the other re- maining strands must now be paired in exactly the same way. The proc- ess now consists of unlaying one

strand of each two pairs and laying into its place its mate from the other rope. In other words, strand ~ 5 in Fig. 9 is unlaid and strand 3 is laid into its place toward the reader's right. Then strand 2 from the left rope is unlaid and its mate, strand 6, is laid into its place toward our left. The third pair of strands remains in the center. Cut off each strand so that about five inches reinains and we will then have the partially com- pleted splice, as shown in Fig. 10. With each pair of ends, tie a simple knot exactly as shown in the upper half of Fig. 6 and weave the ends in just as we did when repairing a broken strand above. In making the splice great care must be taken to keep the original twist in all strands

laid in, and in pulling each just tight enough so that it will carry its one- third of the load. A properly made long splice is hard to detect except where the ends protrude. It does not increase the diameter of the rope, and is the only splice which should be used where the rope 'runs over pulleys. The lengths of long splices for ordinary farm ropes of dififerent sizes should be as follows:

% inch rope — 4 feet

% inch rope — 5 feet

1 Inch rope — 6 feet

This means that each end to be spliced will be unlaid back only one- half these distances. The same dis- tances can be safely used for repair- ing broken strands where new strands are laid in.

If you wish to "take the twist out" of a new rope before puting it into the hay rigging, tie one end of the

rope to a light wagon and drag the rope about a meadow for twenty min- utes or so, drawing it sharply around a tree or post if possible. This treat- ment will lessen objectionable twist- ing and snarling, so troublesome with new ropes. Do not drag the rope out on a dirt road, as is often done. It is hardly necessary to caution the wise driver to turn his fork team al- ternately to the right and to the left to avoid twisting the hay rope.

H. G. Brunning of Mason county, 111., who has had considerable experi- ence with alfalfa on sandy lands, says that when he seeds alfalfa again he will not use a nurse crop, as on light, sandy soils the young alfalfa plants need all the plant food they can get and should not be robbed by the nurse crop.

CARE OF HORSES

From Prairie Farmer.

Here are a few rules prepared by the Boston Work Horse Relief Asso- ciation that may as well be observed on the farm as in the city:

Load lightly, and drive slowly.

Stop in the shade if possible.

Water your horse as often as pos- sible. So long as a horse is working, water in small quantities will not hurt him. But let him drink only a few swallows if he js going to stand still. Do not fail to water him at night after he has eaten his hay.

When he comes in after work, sponge ofif the harness marks and sweat, his eyes, his nose, and mouth, and the dock. Wash his feet, but not his legs.

If the thermometer is 75 degrees or higher, wipe him all over with a damp sponge. Use vinegar water if possible. Do not turn the hose on him.

Saturday night, give a bran mash, lukewarm; and add a tablespoonfuj of saltpeter.

•If the horse is overcome by heat, get him into the shade, remove har- ness and bridle, wash out his mouth, sponge him all over, shower his legs, and give him two ounces of aromatic spirits of ammonia, or two ounces of sweet spirits of nitre, in a pint of water; or give him a pint of coflfee, warm. Cool his head at once, using cold water, or, if necessary, chopped ice, wrapped in a cloth.

If the horse is off his feed, try him ■with two quarts of oats mixed with bran and a little water, and add a little salt or sugar. Or give him oatmeal gruel or barley water to drink.

Watch your horse. If he stops sweating suddenly, or if he breathes short and quick, or if his ears droop, or if he stands with his legs braced sideways, he is in danger of a heat or sun stroke and needs attention at once.

If it is so hot that the horse sweats in the stable at night, tie him outside, with bedding under him. Unless he cools ofif during the night, he cannot ■well stand the next day's heat.

SOLDERING

By P. O. Barnfield, in Prairie Farmer.

Soldering is so simple and is use- ful in so many different ways that one naturally supposes every farmer would have a soldering outfit if he thought he could use it to advantage. On this supposition I beg to offer some suggestions which have come from actual experience.

No special ability or experience is required. It is, of course, true that deftness and accurancy naturally fol- low experience, but good results will as surely follow if one will keep the following points in mind.

The soldering outfit consists of a soldering copper (good size, not un- der two pounds), a bar of half and half solder, a piece of salammoniac, and a small bottle of muriatic acid with a small brush for applying.

Heat the soldering copper not red hot but about the same as a flat iron would be heated for ironing clothes, wipe off the dust on a rag, take a file and rub the surface at the point till copper is clean and bright, then press the hot copper down the sal- ammoniac till it makes a depression. Place the end of the bar of solder in this depression and with the cop- per melt off two or three drops of solder. Remove the bar and rub the copper hard into the depression, but not so as to push the solder out over the edge. Keep this up till the cop- per is well coated with a smooth bright coat resembling tin. You are now ready for business. Remove every particle of dirt from the parts intended to be soldered. Usually it is necessary to scrape the surface with a knife or file if greasy or very dirty, and then with a small brush apply the muriatic acid. Rub the surface with the brush to remove particles. Now rub surface to be soldered with the hot copper, using solder as de- sired. If the solder stands in globules and does not spread over the surface it is because there is some foreign matter between the solder and the sur- face and the cleaning process should be repeated with more care.

Solder will stick to almost any kind of metal if there is no foreign matter on the surface. Since the parts of a.

copper under the tinned surface are easily .melted, it should never be heated to a red heat.

In mending granitewear or copper, a copper harness rivet or a tinner's rivet may be inserted after cleaning the surface around the hole. Get the

boys started to making measures and buckets, funnels and flue caps. Ask that these be made a specific size and see how quickly they v^ill grapple w^ith problems in mensuration. It also might keep them out of town some evenings.

HOW TO JUDGE TRACTOR HORSEPOWER

From Prairie Farmer.

Nearly everyone knows the defini- tion of a "horsepower'' as given in school arithmetics, etc., namely, "the power required to raise a weight of 33,000 pounds to a height of 1 foot m one minute." As this is a definite, fixed unit of power, one would natur- ally suppose that the horsepower rat- ings of two tractors would be a logical and reliable means of compar- ing their ability to perform work; that a tractor rated at 30 horsepower on the drawbar would be twice as powerful and capable of doing twice as much work as one rated at 15 horsepower on the drawbar, for ex- ample. This supposition would be correct but for the fact that there has been no definite standard used m ascertaining the horsepower devel- oped by tractors and the percentage of the power actually developed which should be taken for their catalogue rating. The various manu- facturers have followed their own judgment in the matter, and as a re- sult several methods of rating are being used, with a consequent lack of uniformity.

It is because of this fact that at the present time it is quite common to find two tractors doing practically the same amount of work and clearly of about equal power although with widely dififerent catalog ratings. It is obvious that either the outfit with a low catalog rating has been under- rated by its manufacturer or that the second machine has been overrated, or perhaps both have occurred. It would seem advisable, therefore, that steps be taken to bring about a stand- ard rule for ascertaining and desig- nating the horsepower of tractors. It is not so important, perhaps, what particular method is followed so long as the same method is used by aTI manufacturers, thus avoiding having machines of the same power given such varying ratings.

A movement is already on foot in the department to bring about the adoption of some standard. Until one has been decided upon and adopted, it is suggested that farmers, in com- paring dififerent makes of tractors, should give particular attention to the number of plows pulled and the amount of work done by the various machines, and that less attention be paid to the catalog ratings.

When outfits can be seen working side by side, as at the tractor demon- strations which are being held throughout the country, the amount of work done is of more value in cornparing the relative power than are the manufacturers' ratings, unless ex- actly the same method has been used in each case.

It is obvious that two tractors — each pulling the same number of plows of equal size, at equal depth, in the same soil, and each moving at the same speed — are exerting practi- cally equal amounts of power on the drawbar. In such case, if each is pull- ing its normal load, they should have the same drawbar rating. It is not at all uncommon, however, as previ- ously stated, to find tractors under such conditions with widely dififerent ratings. By using as a standard the amount of work done by different tractors therefore a very fair com- parison of the drawbar horsepower can be obtained. With this known, a good idea of the power of the motor can be gained. If in the case just mentioned, one of the machines was considerably heavier than the other, it is apparent that it would require more power to move its own weight and that it would therefore not be capable of exerting on the drawbar as large a percentage of the motor's total power as would the other ma- chine, assuming that the loss of power through gears, etc., in the transmission was the same. It natur- ally follows that the motor on the

34

FARMERS AND BREEDERS, STEPHENSON COUNTY

heaviest machine would develop more power on the belt than would the one on the lighter outfit.

The terms "brake" or "belt" horse- power mean exactly the same thing and are used to denote the amount of power which the engine will develop and transmit to a belt for stationary work, such as threshing. This amount of power may be computed by dififer- ent formulas or may be ascertained definitely by actual measurement with a proper apparatus. This accounts for some of the lack of uniformity in rat- ings. Some companies carefully measure the amount of power devel- oped by each engine before it leaves the factory and then give their engine a catalogue rating equivalent to its maximum power output; others will deduct a certain amount from the . maximum horsepower as ascertained and rate their engine at various per- centages of this figure in order to be on the safe side, and to underrate their outfit rather than overrate it, while some companies do not measure the amount of power the engine actu- ally develops, but compute it. With the diameter of cylinder, the length of stroke, and the number of revolu- tions per minute known, the horse- power which will be developed by an engine can be computed with a fair degree of accuracy, although there are a number of formulas used, several of which give somewhat different results.

In comparing the power of two tractors the speed at which they are moving must always be considered. A tractor pulling two plows at 2 miles an hour will do the same amount of work as one pulling one plow and traveling at 4 miles an hour, other conditions being equal, and the horse- power developed at the drawbar is the same, because the element of time enters into the determination of horsepower. The slower any given tractor is geared to move the greate-r will be the load which it can pull at the (^rawbar, as it pulls it less rapidly. The amount of work done and the total amount of power exerted will remain practically the same.

It is obvious that in the case men- tioned the tractor pulling one plow and running twice as fast as the one pulling two plows must move its own weight over the ground twice as many times as will the other tractor. If the

weight of the two tractors is the same, it will be seen that twice as much power has been expended in moving the weight of the high-speed tractor as has been used by the one with low speed.

A great many farmers find it diffi- cult to understand why a tractor of, say, 10 horsepower at the drawbar will not pull as heavy a load as will 10 horses. This is not because a me- chanical horsepower is less than the amount of power developed by a horse, but is because of the fact that a horse has an enormous overload capacity — that is, he is capable of ex- erting for a short time a great deal stronger pull than he should normally maintain hour after hour.

A tractor, however, has very little overload capacity when pulling its normal load. Thus, if a tractor with a drawbar rating of 10 horsepower pulling its nonnal load of plows under average conditions should strike a particularly hard spot where the draft was doubled for a few minutes it would stall; while 10 horses under similar conditions could readily in- crease their pull sufficiently to meet the increased draft.

From this it will be seen that in cases where the draft will vary (and this occurs in practically all kinds of farm work because of grades, soil variation, etc.) the load which a tractor will handle satisfactorily is that which it can pull up the steepest grade or through the toughest soil in the field. This load may be only half of what it can pull under more favor- able conditions in the same field. It will also be apparent that the working load of a tractor under ordinary farm conditions is considerably less than the normal load for its drawbar equiv- alent in horses, that is, a tractor of 10 horsepower on the drawbar will not pull, except under constantly favor- able conditions, the load which a 10- horse team would normally pull. The difference might be said to be entirely in the overload capacity of these tW" prime movers. With a tractor its maximum power is practically its normal power because it is capable of pulling this load continuously, but cannot carry anything in excess of this. On the other hand, the horse's normal load is much less than what he can do in an emergency.

KILLING STUMPS.

By Carl Livingston, University of Wisconsin, in Prairie Farmer.

Covering soft maple and elm stumps with salt would surely kill the stumps, but there is no question but that this process would be very much more ex- pensive than it would to blow them out with dynamite or to pull them with a stump puller.

In regard to pouring coal oil on the stumps, if enough is poured on I pre- sume it would kill the stumps, but I imagine a small quantity would injure them very slightly.

From time to time we have rumors of kerosene being applied to stumps through holes bored in the top and al- lowed to stand for some time. It is claimed that these stumps may be burned out very easily and completely. However, we have never yet run across any case of where this process of stump removal has been econom- ical.

If anyone is especially anxious to kill the stumps quickly, I would ad- vise him to go along with a spade and mattock and take the dirt away from the roots for six iniches below the ground line and peel the bark from the stump.

TRACTOR DONT'S

From Prairie Farmer.

In order to assist the user in pre- venting most of the common gasoline engine troubles, the Bull Bulletin in a recent issue gives the following dont's:

Don't put gasoline into the tank without straining it through a cha- mois; there may be water in the gas- oline, or some sediment that would clog up the carburetor or mixing valve.

Don't handle gasoline by the light of a lantern or other open light. If you have no electric light where the tank is located, never fill it except by daylight.

Don't attempt to run an engine without providing sufficient lubrica- tion.

Don't over-oil the engine. Just enough in the right place is better than a quart.

Don't use common black oil on small bearings. Such oil is not suited to the purpose.

Don't get oil or grease on the wires of the battery circuit; it will ruin the insulation.

Don't hold a spark plug wire more than %. inch away from the engine with the current turned on, when test- ing. There is danger of ruining the spark coil.

Don't throw away a spark plug un- less it is broken. A spark plug does not wear out, and the only attention it requires is usually nothing more than grinding.

Don't screw a spark plug on too tight. It may "bake" fast. Graphite, is available, should be used on the threads.

Don't throw away any batteries in winter until you have tried thawing them out. Often they are only con- gealed or frozen up.

Don't leave the battery switch closed when the engine is not running.

Don't leave the gasoline turned on when the engine is not running.

Don't attempt to connect more cells of battery in a set than recommended by the maker of the engine. You may overload the spark coil and burn it out.

Don't leave strands of wire sticking out around connections. They may cause a "ground" in the circuit.

Don't attempt to use any method to warm up the carburetor in cold weather that might ignite the gasoline. Cloths that have been wrung out of hot water are the safest means of heating the carburetor if necessary.

Don't run your engine when over- heated.

Don't drive the engine if it makes an unusual noise or squeak; stop at once and remedy the defect.

Don't drive with a slipping clutch; study its connection and master the methods of adjustment.

Don't drive if the lubricator is out of order. ^

Don't make a noise when changing gear.

Don't race the engine.

Don't measure the depth of gasoline with a dirty stick.

Don't allow a leaky gasoline pipe to go unrepaired; a spark or a hot ex- haust pipe might cause the gasoline to ignite.

36

FARMERS AND BREEDERS, STEPHENSON COUNTY

Don't forget to properly lock any nuts after making an adjustment, nor neglect to replace split pins which you may have withdrawn.

Don't lubricate the gear with too thick a grease.

Don't put too much lubricant in a gear-box.

Don't over-lubricate anywhere.

THE TRACTIOIVEER'S DREAM.

By George Fitch.

The tractor on the farm arose

Before that dawn at four, It drove the cows and washed the clothes.

And finished every chore.

Then forth It went Into the field.

Just at the break of day; It reaped and threshed the golden yield,

And hauled it all away.

It plowed the field that afternoon And when the job was through

It hummed a pleasant little tune And churned the butter, too.

And pumped the water for the stock,

And ground a crib of corn. And hauled the baby 'round the block

To still its cries forlorn.

Thus ran the busy hours away

By many a labor blest; And yet, when fell the twilight gray

The tractor had no rest.

For while the farmer, peaceful eyed. Read by the Tungsten's glow.

The patient tractor stood outside And ran the dynamo.

RULES FOR PRODUCING HIGH QUALITY EGGS.

From Prairie Farmer.

Chickens must be healthy, good size and not mongrel.

Plenty of clean nests must be pro- vided in chicken houses or places where the hens lay.

Setting hens must be separated from the laying flock.

Broody hens must be broken up im- mediately or transferred to place where the setting hens are housed.

Eggs must be gathered daily in cool weather and twice daily in very warm or extremely cold weather.

All eggs must be kept in a cool, dry and well ventilated place.

A warm kitchen, damp cellar, or in a room where oil, onions or strong, odorous vegetables are kept is very

unsatisfactory, as eggs readily absorb odors.

A dry, cool, clean, well ventilated cellar or cave is the best.

Never wash eggs, as it spoils their keeping qualities.

Use very small, dirty eggs at home or market them in regular cases, not in the association cartons.

Eggs o'f questionable quality must not be marketed through the associa- tion.

Always keep the eggs as cool as possible and away from direct rays of sun.

Market all eggs at least twice a week in summer and fall and not longer than once a week during' the rest of the season.

After June 1, all mature males must be confined and sold and infertile eggs produced.

ORGANIZING THRESHING RING

By Frank I. Mann in Prairie Farmer.

I do not know of a draft of by-laws suitable for a threshing ring, but it would be an easy matter to draw up such if desired. Most of the threshing rings are held together by a "gentle- man's agreement," which, as a rule, is just as good as a "cut and dried" con- stitution and by-laws, and more likely to be observed.

The plan of procedure is to get all the parties in the ring present at a meeting, and if any are not present let them agree to observe the provisions agreed upon at the meeting. Elect a chairman and secretary. The secre- tary is to keep a record of all meas- ures acted upon by the meeting, and these minutes are in fact the by-laws to be observed later. Usually, an ex- ecutive com.mittee of about three members are chosen, and this execu- tive committee has full powers to de- cide matters not decided at the gen- eral meeting, to contract with engine and separator men, either by the cir- cuit or threshing and other matters not previously agreed upon.

Usually the general meeting decides who is to furnish separator and en- gine and the price to be paid under a contract with owners of machines. The number of acres to be threshed is ascertained and the number of men to be furnished is distributed among the members according to acreage. In an average ring each 40-acre field fur- nishes one man; 80 acres, two men, and 100 acres or more, three men. A timekeeper may be agreed upon at the general meeting, and the timekeeper keeps accurate time the separator is running on each job. At the end of the threshing season a "clearance" is made of the work or men furnished during the season, and those who have received less help than supplied re- ceive the difference, which, of course, is paid by those who have given less than received. This "clearing" of help furnished has a good tendency to keep peace in a neighborhood, and is equi- table.

If the ring is a large one, as many of the details should be agreed upon at the general meeting as possible, so as to avoid future misunderstandings. The order in which the jobs are threshed should be understood, and a rotation agreed upon for future years,

so no set of members will be thrown either first or last; the hours for com- mencing and stopping work each day should be understood; the executive committee should have power to de- cide if any laborer furnished is ineffi- cient. Let the Golden Rule be the motto and the minutes be the by- laws, and among men there will be harmony.

PREPARING POULTRY FOR MARKET.

From Prairie Farmer.

Grasp the chicken, when killing, by the bony part of the skull. Do not let the fingers touch the neck. Make a small cut with a small, sharp pointed knife on the right side of the roof of the chicken's mouth, just where the bones of the skull end. Brain for dry picking by thrusting the knife through the groove which runs along the mid- dle of the roof of the mouth until it touches the skull midway between the eyes. Use a knife which is not more than 2 inches long, one-fourth inch wide, with a thin, flat handle, a sharp point, and a straight cutting edge.

At least 30 per cent of all the poul- try coming into the New York market is incompletely bled. Much of it is so badly bled that it results in a loss of from 2 to 5 cents a pound, as com- pared with the corresponding poultry which is well bled and in good order. Aside from the bad appearance of in- completely bled chickens, their keep- ing properties are very inferior. The flesh loses its firmness sooner; its flavor is not so good.

A very large proportion of the un- sightly poultry in our markets aside from the rubbing and tearing of the skins, is caused by an incomplete re- moval of the blood. This is evidenced by red dots which frequently occur where the feathers have been re- moved, especially over the thighs and wings, or by the small veins, which mar the appearance of the neck. Gen- erally it is the neck which shows most plainly the presence of blood in the fowl, or that a wrong method has been used in cutting the blood vessels in an attempt to empty them. The neck is the first part to discolor, becoming first red, then bluish red or purple and finally green as aging progresses.

LIGHTNING RODS PROTECT BUILDINGS

From Prairie Farmer.

"It is generally agreed now that lightning rods, properly installed, do afford a considerable measure of pro- tection to farm buildings, a fact which is indicated by the more favorable in- surance rates which many insurance companies offer in insuring farm build- ings that are properly rodded," says K. J. T. Ekblaw of the department of farm mechanics, University of Illinois.

"One insurance company of Michi- gan states that the small sum of $32 has been paid in four years for dam- age done to rodded buildings by light- ning, although a total risk of fifty-five million dollars was taken. Another company taking risks amounting to fifty-nine million dollars, in the same period of time on both rodded and un- rodded buildings, paid for damage done by lightning more than a thou- sand times as much as the other com- pany paid on wired buildings. A prominent fire insurance adjuster states that in his experience, for every dollar's worth of damage done to properly rodded buildings, there was $1,168 damage done to unrodded ones. In other words, there was indicated on efficiency of 99.9 per cent in favor of wired ones.

"Some of the points to be kept in mind in installing a system of light- ning rod protection are as follows:

"(1) Either copper or galvanized iron may be used for lightning con- ductors. The cable form is satisfac- tory and the weight of the copper should be at least three ounces per foot, while that of the galvanized iron should be twice as much. "(2) All parts of the wiring should be connected up into one system. No blind ends or stubs should be left un- grounded. Joints should be made very securely and the contact made as perfect as possible by soldering and brazing.

"(3) The conductor should be firmly fastened to the building in- stead of being insulated from it, as is sometimes done. The purpose of the conductor is to take the light- ning charge away from the building; insulation prevents this.

"(4) The conductors should fol- low ridges and sharp corners in the buildings. No sharp turns in the con- ductor itself should be made.

"(5) Aerial terminals should be lo- cated at the ends of ridges and on the ridges at intervals not to exceed 20 feet. Any terminal point on the roof should have an aerial terminal of its own. The aerial terminals should be at least two feet high, firmly braced in upright position, securely fastened to the main cable, and provided with a galvanized or nickeled wrought iron point.

"(6) Good earth connections are absolutely necessary. Commonly ac- cepted forms consist of a metal plate buried below the level of permanent rnoisture, into the soil to a depth of eight or ten feet, securely fastened to the conductor itself.

"(7) All metal masses, such as metal roofs, radiators, hay fork tracks, etc., should be connected to the main system.

"(8) Use good materials, install them properly, and no fear of light- ning need be felt."

WHEN THE BELT SLIPS

From Prairie Farmer.

The slipping of belts is a great an- noyance, but it is not always remedied by tightening the belt. Ordinarily, if the proper-sized belts and pulleys are used and properly put in, there should be little or no slipping at all. Often the slipping of a belt is due to the overload carried by it. There is economy in using wider belts than is the usual practice. Many a three-inch belt is made to do the work of a four- inch belt, much to the annoyance of the operator and the ruin of the belt.

However, when an immediate rem- edy is needed, a small quantity of powdered whiting, sprinkled on the inside of the belt, is very good and is the least harmful of any similar appli- cation.

The use of beeswax, rubbed on the inside of the belt or on the pulley is a very good remedy in cases of emer- gency.

Many people use powdered rosin on a slipping belt but this is bad practice because it soon dries the leather and causes it to crack.

PRAIRIE FARMER'S RELIABLE DIRECTORY

PROTECT YOUR HONEST DOLLAR

To Prairie Farmer Readers —

D.on't buy cheap, unadvertised goods, but protect yourself when buy- ing by insisting on getting from your dealer only —

^^RAIVT-^

All Goods Advertised in Prairie Farmer are TRIPLE-G Goods. All Goods Advertised in This Directory are TRIPLE-G Goods.

When the local dealer says in his advertisement:

"We Sell and Recommend the Following

TRIPLE-Guarantee Goods"

as in any advertisement in Prairie Farmer or in this Directory, it gives you this TRIPLE-Guarantee

1st That the manufacturer of the goods stands back of them.

2nd That the Prairie Farmer stands back of them.

3rd That the merchant handling the goods stands back of them.

"TRIPLE-Guarantee Goods

Are the best value for the money.

Safest to buy.

And Satisfaction is absolutely insured.

136

FARMERS AND BREEDERS, STEPHENSON COUNTY

What Are "TRIPLE-G" Goods?

r.>y>t'^^^^ , 1, 1

should you ask

WHY

for them and refuse any other kind?

WHEN a reader of Prairie Farmer goes into a store to buy, he is assured of getting full value for his money if he insists on buying only well known advertised goods and refusing to buy any unknown brand substitute.

W/ U V p Because advertised goods are well known goods that are backed up with the guar- antee of PRAIRIE FARMER and the manufacturer. If the goods are not as represented in the advertising, or do not give full satisfaction, this TRIPLE GUARANTEE means that you have only to make your complaint and that any just claim will be fairly considered and your money paid back in case the goods are not as represented. This is PRAIRIE FARMER'S FAIR PLAY POLICY with its readers. We back up every advertisement in PRAIRIE FARMER and guarantee honest treatment. No humbugs , swindles or cheap substitute goods (that are made to sell and get the customer's money on false pre- tenses) are advertised in PRAIRIE FARMER. Buy the goods advertised in PRAIRIE FARMER and in this Directory and you are taking no chances. You are guar- anteed satisfaction because all goods we advertise are

TRIPLE-GUARANTEED GOODS

Age 20 $11.00 Age 40 $17.80

25 12.20 45 21.04

30 13.64 50 25.44

35 15.40 55 32.00

Other ages in same proportion. Men and women insured.

DURABILITY

One thing that adds excess value and life to the Series 18 FOUR and SIX is the special steels used in the manufacture, made to Studebaker's own specifications especially for Studebaker cars.

Another is the scientific heat treatment of vital parts, like gears, axles, axle shafts, etc., which makes them stronger, longer-wearing, and permits lighter weight with increased strength.

A third is the absolute accuracy of Studebaker manufacturing processes, and the resulting perfect fit and alignment of all parts, and perfect balance of motor parts and the entire car, reducing friction and wear to the very lowest point.

This is why Studebaker Cars "stand up," give continuous service month after month, year after year, with low up-keep cost. This is why a Stude- baker in the end is one of the most economical cars in the world to buy.

Come in and let us give you a demonstration.

NEW YORK LIFE INSURANCE CO.

furnishes absolute protection (invalid income — old age fund — death benefit) at a very low net cost.

Why Men and Women Should Insure:

(1) "Only one man in 100 who lives to be 50 leaves anything at death except his insurance.

(2) Statistics show that 85% of the men who have money now will lose it before they reach the age of 65.

(3) Of all the men living at age 65, 3% are self-supporting, the other 97% are dependent upon relatives or charity.

(4) Out of 100 average healthy men age 35, statistics show the following facts when they reach 60:

36 will be dead, 1 w-ill be rich, 4 will be wealthy, 54 will be dependent upon friends, relatives or charitj^" — "Eastern Underwriter."

MORAL — Insure now while in good health, later yon may not pass an examination.

NEW YORK LIFE INSURANCE CO.

tinnishes aI)solute protection (invalid income — old ago fund — death benefit) at a very low net cost.

Why Men and Women Should Insure:

(1) "Only one man in 100 who lives to be 50 leaves anything at death except his insurance.

(2) Statistics show that 85% of the men who have money now will lose it before they reach the age of 65.

(3) Of all the men living at age 63, Z% are Keif -supporting, the other 97% are dependent upon relatives or charity.

(4) Out of 100 average healthy men age 33, statistics show the following facts when they roach 60:

36 will be dead, 1 will be rich, 4 will be wealthy, 54 will be dependent upon friends, relatives or chaiity." — "Eastern Underwriter."

MORAL — Insure now while in good health; later you may not pass an examination.

When you bu}^ a Heater the fuel consumption is im- portant. The

Kelsey Warm Air Generator

— is a powerful and economical Heater because it has dou- ble the heating sur- face and heating ca- pacity of ordinary fur- naces; and warms rooms by so much better methods that it cuts down the coal bills 20 to 30 per cent.

The great KelseY weight also mea ns an even tempera- t u r e maintained longer.

The Kelsey has earned its right to the name, "The Coal Saver."

STEPHENSON COUNTY CHURCHES

THE true product of all cultural edu- cation as against technical or pro- fessional training is character. A bad man will hardly be a good citizen, and Christianity is necessary to the making of good men. The church bears the responsibility of the culture and development of the Spiritual Life; no other institution is specially charged with this duty.

Religion must always underlie mor- ality. It is necessary to teach morals as a basis for a people's prosperity. Morality cannot be taught effectively without the Bible; the responsibility of teaching the Bible rests with the church.

The church recognizes that conduct is the supreme test of religious validitj', and strives to instill in the hearts of the people the sense of truth and right that will direct them at all times to choose

To the farmers, the church opens her doors for farmers' institutes, and lec- tures on farming. The church serves the farmer by bringing to his famiy, not only pleasant social activities, but seeks to surround them with pure and profit- able associations. Through the church his home is kept in vital and sympa- thetic touch with other homes, and trained in unselfish dealing and loving service. The church takes its place for good in every fight against wrong, and declaring its belief in the ultimate suc- cess of right, it inspires hope and blesses all men. The churches of Stephenson county are united in the de- sire to serve the farmers.

FARMERS AND BREEDERS, STEPHENSON COUNTY

FREEPORT'S HIGH SCHOOL

THE Freeport High School, with an enrollment of almost 700, is fast becoming a county educational in- stitution. At the present time there are more than 100 rural students in Free- port High School. They have always realized the value of the high school as an institution to prepare young men and }^oung women for college. To pre- pare for college these young people pre- pared themselves for life in the profes- sions and many are now prominent lawyers, doctors, teachers, engineers, architects, etc.

Every year a large number of young people from the coimtry come into the high school to prepare to teach in the country schools. After completing the course in the high school they have al- ways been successful in passing the teachers' examinations, and many of them are today among the most suc- cessful teachers in Stephenson county.

Another feature that has appealed strongly to the people of the country is the commercial department. The young people from the country who are alwaj's wide-awake to their opportuni-

ties, realize that in Freeport High School they can master bookkeeping, typewriting, and stenography, and fill good positions creditably. ,The com- mercial department has had remarkable success. There are always more de- mands for high school graduates of this department than can be filled. At pres- ent, not one of the many graduates is out of work. The demand is great be- cause of the excellent training these young people receive.

Boj^s and girls from the country have always taken advantage of the courses in manual training, cooking and sew- ing.

The department of agriculture has been established three years. There are classes in field crops, animal hus- bandry, soils, farm machinery and dairying. These classes have taken great interest in the work. Aside from the text-books and instruction by the teachers, the classes have the benefit of charts, stereopticon views, and trips to farms in many parts of the county. Rural students have always stood high in scholarship, debates, band, orchestra, athletics and military.

PRAIRIE FARMER'S RELIABLE DIRECTORY

You Can Use Prairie Farmer Every Day

A GOOD many Prairie Farmer readers say that a farmer might as well try to farm without modern machinery as without Prairie Farmer. There is a good deal of truth in this statement — more than many farmers who have not been reading Prairie Farmer regularlj' realize.

The keynote of Prairie Farmer's policy is service. All the energies and resources of the paper are used to this end. By doing for its readers many things that they are not in position to do for themselves, Prairie Farmer makes itself indispensable to them. For 76 years it has been a leader in Illinois agriculture, a position which it fills even more successfully than it did in 1841, when it was first published as Illinois' pioneer farm paper.

It is not the primary purpose of Prairie Farmer to teach you how to farm. You know the peculiarities of your own farm better than we do, and experience has taught you more about the needs of each field than we can possibly MR. GREGORY know. Our task is to supplement your experience by adding

to it the experience of ourselves and thousands of other farmers.

When you meet your neighbor farmers in town, or talk with them over the back fence, you learn many a lesson from their experience, which is a much cheaper way to learn than to find it out at your own expense. You do not follow all the advice your neighbor gives you. But you do get from him many ideas that you can use with profit in your own business.

Prairie Farmer makes every farmer in Illinois your neighbor. Whenever we hear of a farmer who has made a special success in any line of farming we find out how he did it, and print his experience for the benefit of other farmers. Some- times we get this information from him by mail. Sometimes we send a trained member of our staff to see him. No matter what the expense, we get this informa- tion, which, in many cases, is worth hundreds of dollars to our readers.

No one farmer, of course, can follow out all the ideas from the experience of these successful farmers. But out of this wealth of experience and ideas each reader can find many things that will help him to make his farming more profitable.

This is a service that can only be given by a farm paper published in your own state, edited by practical men, and full of the spirit of service to its readers.

Prairie Farmer is proud of the fact that its editors are practical farmers. Clifford V. Gregory, Editor-in-Chief, owns and manages a 190-acre live stock farm in Northern Illinois. Frank I. Mann, Editor of the Soils and Crop department, writes from the experience of his 500-acre grain farm in the heart of the corn belt. Mrs. Lena Stevenson Mann, Home Department Editor, is a farmer's wife who writes from the heart of her own experiences in the farm home the articles that are an inspiration to farmers' wives all over the state. Horton Green, Poultry Editor, is a combination of poultryman and preacher, and is a success at both. Our legal department is in charge of one of Chicago's best lawyers, a man whose specialty is farm law. One of the best veterinarians in the country has charge of our veterinary department. This policy of keeping its feet on the ground makes

192

Prairie Farmer practical — a paper that sees the farmer's problems through the farmer's own eyes.

Coupled with Prairie Farmer's policy of giving the best experience of success- ful farmers, is the policy of giving reports of the new facts brought out at all the leading experiment stations. Much of the work of the experiment stations is valuable to every farmer when stated in plain, brief English, with the frills cut out and only the practical facts left. The results of every important experiment in this country are given in Prairie Farmer.

News as well as information is an important part of a real farm paper. Every farmer wants to know what is happening in the agricultural world. He wants reports of fairs, shows and important farmers' meetings. He wants to know what Congress and the State Legislature are doing along agricultural lines. All these things Prairie Farmer gives him.

Our reports of the State Legislature are especially complete and valuable. "Bill's" comments on legislative affairs are mighty interesting reading and give the reader an insight into state politics that he cannot get in any other way. In publishing these letters Prairie Farmer is doing a work for better citizenship and better government that is bringing splendid results.

After all, the true success of the farm is not measured by its production of corn and hogs, but by its boys and girls and its home life. The farm that is producing stalwart citizens, that is building character and real home life, is the farm that represents the highest type of success.

That is the kind of a farm that Prairie Farmer wants every one of its readers to have. For that reason we devote a good deal of space to articles that will inspire the boys and girls, and the older folks, too, to higher ideals of farm and community life. In this we are doing a service that cannot be measured in dollars and cents, but that will be reflected in the homes and citizens of the future.

Prairie Farmer guarantees every one of its advertisers. We promise that in dealing with them you will receive square and honest treatment. We go further than that, and do everything we can to protect our readers from fraud of every kind. We turn the searchlight of publicity on every swindler who tries to separate the farmer from his money, and by doing so save our readers thousands of dollars every year.

You can take advantage of the feature of Prairie Farmer's service by con- sulting us before investing your money in any scheme that you do not know anything about. With the facilities at our command we will make a full investi- gation and give you a report.

You can take advantage of Prairie Farmer's personal service in many other ways. We will help you solve everyday problems on your farm. Questions about farm law, live stock diseases, farm machinery, soils and crops, dairy, poultry, homemaking and any other line of farming are answered without charge for our readers.

We want you to use Praiwe Farmer. We are your best friend, and are glad to do anything we can to serve you

We are glad to have you in the Prairie Farmer family and want you to use Prairie Farmer every day.

THE FREEPORT CHAMBER OF

COMMERCE

The new Freeport Chamber of Commerce stands for everything that will help to make Freeport and the surrounding districts better for the people who live in the county.

It is made up of public-spirited men, with big minds and big hearts; men who are giving their time and money to the uplifting and develop- inp- of the city and county.

The Chamber of Commerce divides its work into several departments. Committees are appointed to look after the various departments, each committee being responsible for a certain part of the work that needs attention.

The specific manner, and the par- ticular things to be done to bring about improvements are determined by the membership and a Board of Directors.

The good that can be accomplished by a live Chamber of Commerce has no limit. Every public-spirited man in Stephenson County should lend a helping hand and get in touch with the Chamber wherever he may see a chance for a community betterment.
