This is not free "of cost to the farmer, of course. It represents labor as well as an outlay of capital. The total value of the farm family living" averaged $1,fib7.50 annually. The value of the food used, which was tiie largest item In tiie total, averaged $<>58.80, or 41.2 per cent, (if ,lids amount, however, tiie farm Itself furnished $440.70 worth, or about two- thirds. The rest was cash spent 1 mostly for coffee, sugar, flour and other staples. Clothing expenses averaged $2X4.00 per family, or nearly 15 per cent of the total budget. The largest cloth ing expenditure was for ready-made garments. Shoes made a good-sizen dent in tiie clothing account, as did purchases of yard poods, trimmings and similar items for the home dress maker. Itent, which was furnished by the farm, was estimated at an average value of $’200. Operating costs, iwhich included the family use of the, inutomoblfe, household labor, fueh cleaning' supplies, and so on. av eraged $215.10. Fuel cost was esti • mated at $85.20, of which 50.7 per emu, or $15.20, was furnished by the I» «« <« O <■ farm. • . . “ ‘Mmiey spent for ‘‘advancement.” in cluding education, vacations, amuse ment and . books, averaged $101.08.

Cream is deliv ered to the creamery and butter is purchased: live stock is sold to the packer and fresh or cured meat Isiught from tiie butcher; the ready made dress lias replaced many a farm- made one. These changes «re gradu ally lightening tiie burdens of the farm housewife, tiie Foundation adds. Te*t Yellow Pine for More Hardy Variety Placerville, Calif. —Yellow pine trees from all over the United Slates are l>eirig tested and cross-pollinated at the Eddy Tree Breeding station here, in an effort to obtain choice varieties of forest trees that will grow faster than the present wild stocks and lienee pro duce u crop of timber in fewer years Nursery pln>t}tfgffc mode last season include seedlings of forty-nine species and nine varieties from seed obtained in seventeen different countries and extensive additions are now in hand as part of this season’s piMgrain. The program of the station includes gathering tree stocks from as many dif ferent localities as possible, compar ing races of the same species, selec tion of the best individuals in native stands as breeding stocks and art Hi- cial pollination both within given spe cies and between species in an effort to produce hybrid varieties. Cross- pollination thus far lias yielded hy brids of western ybllow pine with Swiss mountain pine and with the digger pine of California. The second tree genus on which the experimenters intend to work is the • black walnut. They now have a stock of Ihe black walnut species of north ern California established, but have Dot yet reached out for the eastern and old world walnuts, due to their preoccupation^ with the pine work. Eventually they wish to add other timber trees to the two bow on their experimental schedule. The work of tiie station is under the direction of Lloyd Austin, a graduate of the University of California.

It led the motor industry for twenty years and it is used today by more people than any other automobile. More than eight million Model T Fords are in active service in city, town and country, and many of them can be driven for two, three and five yea?s and even longer at very small up-keep expense. The cost of Modd T parts and of necessary labor is unusually low because of established Ford policies. * New fenders, for instance, cost from £3.50 to £5 each, with a labor charge of £1 to*£2i50. Tuning up the motor and replacing commutator case, brush and vibrator points costs only £l, with a small charge for material. Brake shoes can be installed and emergency brakes equalized for a labor charge of only £1.25. A labor charge of £4 to £5 will cover the overhauling of the front axle, rebushing springs and spring perches, and straightening, aligning and adjusting wheels. The labor charge for overhauling the average rear axle runs from £5.75 to £7. Grinding valves and cleaning carbon can be done for £3 to £4. - A set of four new pistons costs only £7. For a labor charge of £20 to £25 you can have your motor and transmission completely overhauled. Parts are extra. ' •' All of these prices are approximate, of course, because the cost of materials needed will depend on the condition of each car. They show, however, the low cost bf^utting the Model T Ford in shape for thousands of miles of additional service. See the nearest Ford dealer, therefore, and Have him estimate on the cost of re-conditiohing your Model T Ford. He will tell you,, in advance, exactly how much the complete job will cost. - IA * f Ford Motor Company * Detroit, Michigan ——— e
