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.

PRAIRIE FARMER'S RELIABLE DIRECTORY
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.

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.

FARMERS AND BREEDERS, STEPHENSON COUNTY
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)
8
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.

FARMERS AND BREEDERS, STEPHENSON COUNTY
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
Albert Miller Constructing His Pit Silo.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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,

ence with alfalfa on sandy lands, says
that when he seeds alfalfa again he

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.
33
PRAIRIE FARMER'S RELIABLE DIRECTORY
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.

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

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.

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.

FARMERS AND BREEDERS, STEPHENSON COUNTY
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.

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.

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

Publisher's Note —
It is to be regretted that a picture of the

Mr. Citizen:—
A Dollar is worth less now than for several
years except when you buy Insurance.
Your own County has a Life Company
that has been in successful operation for ten
years. It is operating in five states and has
over $8,000,000 of insurance in force. Its
annual rate for $1 ,000 insurance is as follows:

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.

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.

THE COAL SAVER

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

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.

Think of trying to finish your work

FARMERS AND BREEDERS, STEPHENSON COUNTY
Every road has two
ends — at one end the
farm, at the other the
country town. Each
depends on the other ,
and both prosper to--
gether. When the
broad-minded mer-
chants and the pro-
gressive farmers work
together for the good
of the community,
then you have a com-
munity worth living in.

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.
