BARE AND NEGLECT
OF FARM MACHINERY
Proper Housing Over Winter Treats
Life of cinder—Interesting Data
Gathered Over Wide Area
Recent iuiestigatlona by the Cos-
servatlou commission reveal some
very interesting facts regarding the
effect of care, or neglect, as the case
ma) be, upon the lite of machinery
on the farm. Between 30 and 116
farms. divided Into three districts.
were visited In each of the provinces
of Manitoba Saskatchewan and Al-
berta.
In Saskatchewan, out of 94 farmers
visited by the Commission's repre-
sentative, 76 leave all of their Imple-
ments out of doors. On 73 of the
farms, tbere were no implement sheds
of suy description. On 21 of the
farms, sheds large enough to cover
• part of the implements Were found.
In most cues this being only,s buggy
or a democrat, but not on one single
farm was the machl.ary all housed.
Not one farmer was found who paint.
ed his implements to protect them
from the weather.
In Manitoba only 14 out of 34 keep
their machinery under carer during
winter, while 44 claim to keep a part
•f It Inside. On 34 of the Maattobe
farms no provision whatever Ia made
for protecting Implements. and only
four claim to have done any painting.
In the three districts visited 1n
Alberta. mixed farming is carried on
extensively, making more barn room
available. so that implements are
more likely to be protected, but even
here, 37 out of the 32 visited leave
all machinery out of doors.
In one district in Ontario where 40
farmers were visited, every man
housed his implements during winter.
although none of these men do any
painting. In the Ontario district
visited where the Implements arts
housed, the average life of the binder
was found to be between 6 and 17
years. Many binders were seen which
were in good Punning order after
cutting 20 seasons' crops.
In Saskatchewan and Manitoba,
where so much of the macbjnery is
left out of doors. the average life of
the binder is given by the farmers
as about 7 years, which 1s less than
halt that of the binder protected
from the weather. Many binders do
not last as long as seven years. One
farmer near Moosomin. Sask.. who.
atter 12 .years, was retiring from the
farm. held an auction sale. His bin-
der atter cutting 12 crops sold for
$30. or r.0 per cent. of the original
cost. and his other machinery at pro-
portionately high prices. It had all
been well housed and the necessary
painting and repairing had been done
to keep it In good order. On a neigh-
boring farm a binder which had cut
only three crops, but which had been
neglected and had stood out of doors,
was being relegated to the scrap heap
and a new one was being purchased.
An Impiemen• shed costa money.
but if its use will double or treble
the length of time the machinery will
last, It is a good investment. Far-
mer often say that they can not
afford to bund • shed. The truth is,
they really can not afford to be with-
out one. Apart from the additional
power necessary for operation, the de-
preciation on unhoused machinery on
the average sized farm is so great
as to amount to much more than the
cost and upkeep of an implement shed.

GERMANS TAKE LODZ
LOSSES APPAWNG
Set -back For Russians in Poised put
Invading Army Suffers
Terrible Loeees
The Germans occupied Lodz, Is Po-
land, on Sunda,-. according to an
official telegram from Berlin. Besides
its commercial importance, Lodz 1s of
strategical value as • ratwsy centre.
The position of the city has been
critical for the last fortnight, furious
dilating having occurred In its en-
virons on every side In the course of
the successleve enveloping move-
ments of the Russian and German
armies. Since General Macken.
succeeded 1-t extricating the remnant
of his army from the trap. the Ger-
mans have remained comparatively
Quiescent in their trenches near Lodz
awelting reinforcements.
The arrival of fresh German forces
evidently was the signal for a new
offensive. It is thought that Marshal
von Hindenburg will make a third
desperate attempt to hew • way to
Warsaw.
A communlcatioo from Russian
headquarters reports th• continuation
tri desperate engagements In front of
Lewin: and in the region of Lodz.
An oMctal statement issued at
Petrograd describes as ridiculous the
German claims of having captured
enormous numbers of prisoners, can-
nons and machine guns. "The Ger-
man denial that they have lost • single
tun la disproved by the tact that in
the Brzesfny district alone (near Lodz)
we took from them twenty-three guns
and a large amount of spoils.
"The Germano also conceal the
losses which they sustained althongk
witnesses state that never has a field
of battle presented such • sight ea
on the roads of the German retreat
towards Strykdw. At some points
where we attacked the German Ranks
the German dead were plied not less
than a yard high."

DE WET'S FATE, IN BALANCE
Captured After Long Chase Boer
Leader May Suffer Death Penalty
General Christian De Wet, the beck -
bone of the South African rebellion,
was captured last week on a farm at
Waterburg, in British Bechuanaland.
This "Will o' the' Wisp of the
Veldt," as he has been referred to by
his pursuers, surrendered finally with-
out the firing of • single shot. A
motor car brlgat: • pursued him relent-
lessly throt3b a sandy and undulating
country, thickly wooded with thorn
bush. De Wet Mg -tagged and doubled
over his course in an endeavor to
throw off his pursuers, and before be
was finally trapped with a few of his
followers, -ode 60 miles without a
stop.
De Wet's fate probably will be de-
cided by the South African Govern-
ment entirely on its own responsibility
but • demand 1s being raised in the
press of England that he shall be put
to death as a traitor and rebel.
