Farm Scales In Winter Mary farm and outdoor scales do not weigh accurately in winter be cause water gets into them and freezes, says the U. S. Department of Agriculture. Clean out the scale pits and see that the levers and parts are free from interfer ence and that the platform is clear with a space of at least half an inch between the edges of the platform and the coping. Keep water out of the scale pit if pos sible and provide a drain for any that can not be kept out. Some times ice forms and causes errors in the weight, but does not influ ence the action of the beam to the extent that it is observed by the user of the scale. Another trouble with scales in winter time is a shifting of the foundation by frost action. A very slight shift in the position of the scale may make it inaccurate. Scales need particular attention in alternating freezing and thawing weather. Baby chicks double in size dur ing the first two weeks of life.

GODIN ; Optometristi 956 Broad Street - Augusta. Ga It is important to protect milk and cream during transit in win ter as well as summer. Do not let them freeze. Keep the milk and cream in the milk house or in a specially constructed room. Where running water from a spring is available, the problem of cooling and holding milk without freezing is easily solved by piping water to the milk house and letting it flow continually through the cooling tank. Where there is no running water, pump fresh water into the tank just before putting in the milk. Empty the tank as soon as the milk is removed. In trans porting cans of milk for long dist ances by uncovered wagon or mo tor truck in very cold weather, cov er them with a heavy blanket. txt — • Although it is inadvisable for farmers to try to tan valuable fur skins or large hides, small fur skins or skins of low market value can be tanned for home use, says the U. S. Department of Agricul ture. Farmers’ Bulletin 1334-F (Revised), which may be obtained from the Department of Agricul ture, Washington, D. C., gives di rections for the home tanning of leather and small fur skins. — -txt To protect the top of blankets and quilts from being soiled,. bind the edge with a piece of cheese cloth or other inexpensive mater ial about 16 inches wide, matching the blanket In color.. When this is Soiled it can be easily removed and laundered. New Method Of Planting Sorghums The U. S. Department of Agri culture recommends a new meth od of seed-bed preparation and planting of grain sorghums that is more certain to produce good stands than the usual method. List the soil in late autumn or early winter, says the department, and when the weeds start to grow in the spring, “throw in” the ridges. At planting time partly “nose out” the old furrows with a lister or a loose-ground disk planter, leaving sufficient warm, moist, mellow soil in the bottom of the furrow for a good seed-bed. The usual farm practice of planting with a lister at the bottom of a freshly made furrow where the soil has had no opportunity to become mellow or warm allows the soil to wash into the bottom of the fur rows with heavy rains, often bury ing the seedlings. The improved method involves little if any more labor and is more likely to produce good stands. X Ice box cookies can be made from any stiff cookie dough. In stead of rolling out the cookies and cutting them into fancy shapes, roll the dough into a cylindrical piece, cover it with a clean cheesecloth, and store it in the ice box over night to become firm.
