Agricultural
Care Of Farm Machinery, i
Farm News.
Killy years ago I lie larmer
It'll to worrv himself very
little about the protection of his
implements trom the rain and
snows of winter or the blistering
heat of the summer. With the
help of a neighbor, the heavy
wooden beam plow and a single
shovel cultivator could be lilted
into the hay loft, the V harrow
leaned against a tree, the ox
wagon backed up behind the
barn, and his machinery wastored.
Even if it was not in th<
best of shape, what mattered
that? Land was cheap and re
quired but little cultivation t<
produce a large crop.
However, conditions hav?
changed, and today, with land
between seventy-live and one
hundred dollars per acre, and
the money invested in farm im- ,
plements in the state of Iowa
alone, for example, reaching up
to about fifty-seven millions of
dollars, the question of how best
to prolong the lite of the ma
chinerv, as well as how to economize
time and energy, becomes
a serious one with every farmer.
That the question does not receive
the attention it shou Id is
plainly evident to any person I
who has traveled very much.
Here the mower stands under a
wdlow tree, a little farther on a
plow is resting by the fence
where it was left when the ground
was frozen, so, machinery representing
many hundreds of dollars
is seen exposed to thechang
mg seasons.
Let us follow two farmers
ihrough the season's work, one
who stores his machinery and
the other who does not. In the
spring, as soon as the ground is
in condition to work, the farmhj-8
6tart out to plow: the one
takes his plow from the machine
shed where it was placed in ;h?*
fall alter being carefully greased i
Hie other takes a pair of whip
pie trees 011 his shoulder, goes
out into the field, hitches his
team to the plow, which has
been standing beside the fence,
and pulls it out ot the grass
which has grown up around it.
After cleaning the dead grass oil
and oiling the wheels, ho makes
a start. The moist dirt, at once
idheres to the rusty moldboard,
and the horses come to a halt.
The farmer gets off the seat, and
jf he has not provided himself
with a paddle, does so, and removes
the soil, finding perhaps
a bright spot as large as a dollar i
st the point ot the lay. He then
remounts, this time the horses
leap into the collars and go sov i
oral yards before the farmer i
.slops to clean oft" the dirt. As lie i
gets otr he whispers a few words i
to himself, very forcibly before
applyithe paddle The bright ;
spot is now a little larger. The <
next time he stops he speaks a
few 1011 tr words very loudly to i
himself. So with exhausting ?
work goes on all the forenoon 1
with nothing accomplished ex t
cept a few ridges and hollows j
jnonud the field, while the neighbor
rides serenely around his p
old, turning fhj soil over s
Department. S
oil
smoo'hly and with little etlort.
The work goes on in the same ^
way throughout the season. The W(
seeder is cloaked with decaying te
oats, the cornnlanter skips, the ai]
pitman box on the mower heats, pr
and the binder will not tie until ^1
a day has been spent in working ev
with it. jy
No' only does the yearly rust
ing and wearing smooth waste tjc
the energy of the farmer and 0f
his horses, but the machinery ju
wears out mora rapidly. John u,
Deere savs: ktTh? effect ot the ^
weather is really harder on ma- C()
chinery than tlie actual wear in (j(|
the field " According to the pre
ceeding statement, which is vertitied
by many other implement
men, the life of a machine wi 11 p,
be doubled it that machine is
pr< perly housed. Now we will
say the average farmer has six us
i ,i ; .1 pi
UUiiuicu uuunis iii yonicu Hi liHUi machinery,
which is a very low
estimate. If left out to the weath, 8,(
er, a new stock will have to be ei
bought about every six years.
This means a needless expense
of six hundred dollars every
twelve years, or fifty dollars a re
year. Pr
The remedy for this unnecesary
waste is very simple. A shed. W1
ample to house the machinery
for a one hundred and sixty acre _
farm may be built for about one ln
hundred and fifty dollars. AH ne
that is necessary is to keep the es
implements dry. a
One hundred and fifty dollars 8H
invested in this way would thus e*
be paying thirty three and one eJ
third per cent in'erest per year. a*
With high priced land and the y(
close economy needful to make
a profit, tlie bousing of farm ro
machinery must be taken into er
account. 9H

The .farmer's Advantages in .<f
Canning. 11
Progressive Farmer. ^
1 promised to tell vour read *"><
ers why we farmers could put up
the finest canned goods in tlie ,,r
till
world. Von know this is niv ('r
' hobby.'1 The reasons are plain,
if you will just think a little.
Take peaches, for instance. If
you want the most delicious
peach you can possibly tret, let
it hang on the tree until thoroughly
ripe before you gather it.
And every housekeeper knows
(hat to have (he best dish of
s'rum-beans (hey must be gathered
in (he early morning and!
cocked (he same day. If allowed
In wilt they are never so good.
Now this applies to all fruits
ind '"egetablea more or less, and I
specially in canning them. All
we can hope to do in canning
s to keep (he article jus* a-* good i
is it is. We can't make it anylpo
letter. So one great advantage PU
he farmer has over ihe large i *"'
meker, is that he can let his ,]'
: V\
goods ripen on (he tree or vine, j?,
ind gather and can them (he!
ame day. 1 have learned fromj
perfence that- this makes
Bat difference, more than anj
e would think who has nc
:>ked into the matter carelull}
Another great advantage h
at we farmers do our ow
irk, or uive it our personal a
ntion. We do a small b-isineid
can exercise more care i
eparing the fruits and vegett
es, and cFpociall.v in packin
erv can full. One can carelesi
filled will injure your repi
tion. Wliere this work is a
>ue by the different member
Hie fami'y, all of whom at
terested in the success of th
idertuking, stud are doing the
ist to win, no laree packer nee
