(Contributed by Ontario Department of Agriculture, Toronto.) A great deal of damage was done last winter by rabbits girdling the bark on fruit trees, In many eases the girdled area extends from a few inches above the ground up from twelve to sixteen inches, but in other cases the girdled section is only a few inches, in width, Where the girdled area is not over ten inches in width and the trees are over two inches in diameter the injury may be repaired by connecting the two mar- gins of uninjured bark with scions of the same kind but not necessarily of the same variety. This process is called 'bridge grafting, because the scions serve as a bridge to conduct the plant food across the injured area. The Work Best Done in the Spring. Bridge grafting may be done in the spring just before or when sap be- gins to flow, and continued until the leaves are half grown if the scions are dormant. Scions are made from well grown healthy shots of the past season's growth. hese should be cut when completely grmant and stored in damp sand or sawdust until required for use. When ready to graft take a sharp knife and straighten the margins of the girdle after which all bits of loose or dead bark should be scraped off the ex- posed area. The scions are prepared by cutting both ends to a wedge shape, the wedge being one -and -one- half to two inches long with the cut surface on one side and a small bit of bark taken off the other side at the tip. There are various methods of inserting the scions, but the method described below will give very good results. Sow the Grafting Is Performed. Make a vertical slit about one - and -one-quarter inches long in the bark above and below the girdle. The scion is then placed in position by raising the bark slightly at the cor- ners of this slit and shoving the lower end of the scion under the bark directly beneath the slit, taking care to place the cut surface of the scion next to the wood. The upper end of the scion is then inserted in the bark above in precisely the same manner, and both ends fastened firmly in posi- tion by driving a small finishing nail about three-quarters of an inch long through the wedge of the scion into the wood of the tree. Scions may be placed about two inches apart around the circumference of the tree, and when all have been inserted the slits in the bark and the margins of the girdle should be covered with melted grafting wax. Apply the wax while quite warwith a small paint brush, m The wax should be kept hot enough to flow easily, but not hot enough to injure the growing tissue. An oil heater or a spirit lamp is satisfac- tory for this purpose if a regular grafting outfit is not available.— Horticultural Dept., 0, A. College, Guelph. Preservation of the Binder. With some men the grain binder is ready for the scrap heap in five years, with other farmers it will last thirty years. A canvas cover large enough to protect the machine from sun and rain should be part of the grain bind- er equipment. At the close of the harvest season the harvester should be cleaned thoroughly and all moving parts oiled.' The needle and the guides through which -the twine tra- vels should be greased. The knife should be taken out, dried and wiped over with a cloth soaked in oil, and then put away. The canvas convey- ors should be thoroughly dried, rolled up and put away in dry stor- age. The binder should be packed away in the barn or implement shed out of the way. Do not let the chickens use it as a hen roost. A few poles would be cheapen and would serve the hens just as well.— L. Stevenson, 0. A. C., Guelph, Teeth Tell Age of Sheep„ A lamb has eight small first -teeth on the lower' jaw. When the' animal readies the age of, about one year, the middle pair are replaced by two permanent teeth; at the age of about two, the teeth du. either side of these permanent teeth, are also replaced by a permanent : pair; at the age of three, the next tooth on either side gives way -toe permanent tooth; and at about the age ief four, the last or back teeth are replaced in like manner. Sheep with one pair of permanent teeth is a yearli'ng;, a sheep with two pairs is a two-year-old; with three pairs, a three-year-old, and ,with four pairs, a four-year-old. After a sheep is four years old, one cannot ,tell by the teeth about the age. However, tine who is purchasing a sheep should 'see toit that it has not lost any teeth, or that the teeth have not become long and shoe-peggy in appearance., Collar Sores:' The best way to relieve the,pres- mire while` working -the horse is to remove the stuffing from the 'collar side of .a pad, over the sore, leaving the''•ahouider side smooth. faint' the sore with dilute :iodine after remov-' fug the collar, first bathing off ssVeat and dirt.., Dust sore with .talcum powder before ••harnessing.

They Should Possess the Qualities .of Adhesion and Cohesion. --Mineral, Vegetable and Fish Oils All In User -•Planting Potatoes for Seed. '' (Contributed by Ontario Department at Agriculture, Toronto,) HILE possibly every care and "attention is given to the mechanism of farm machinery, few, if any, give consideration to the quality of the lubricants used. The efficiency of any power is ser- iously affected by poor or improper lubrication of surfaces in frictional contact, indeed, it isestimated at about 50 per cent. of the available amount of energy in useful work. The object of lubrication is not only to reduce friction, but also to carry away whatever excess of heat may be generated, for a certain amount of work will produce a given quantity of heat, but the carrying away of the heat is only an incidental condition, for heating of the bearing should not arise. Oils for lubricating purposes should possess two qualities—that of cohesion and adhesion. Their coh'e• sire properties lie in the character• of their molecules to cling to each other, and their adhesive quality to stick to anything else. The union of these tw propertiesmake up what Is known as viscosity., that is the body of the lubricant. This in a. greater degree than any otherfactor deter- mines the lubricating value of the oils. While viscosity of an oil deter-' mines its•value as a lubricant, fluid- ity indicates its adaptability to any one particular machine. It is because of the struggle between viscosity and fluidity that the same oil will not do for the heavy engine shaft, and for light *eight machinery. Each re- quires an oil with just sufficient "body" to carry the load without be- ing squeezed out of the bearing. Beyond this condition the more fluid. end easier moving the oil the better. A thick lubricating film of good resisting body is needed for the line shaft of an ocean liner, but a drop of the same oil would put a watch out ' f commission. Practically all the lubricants now In use are of the mineral oil founda- tion treated to free them from acid, and to improve their suitability for special purposes. Sperm oil is spe- cially good for high speed 'light machinery: for heavy bearings castor oil, but,both are expensive. For great pressure at slow speed lard, tallow, and other solid lubricants are suit- able. If pressure is great, and speed high, castor, sperm, and heavy min- eral oils are used. For low pressure at high speed, olive, sperm, rape and relined petroleum give satisfaction. Vegetable and fish oils are drying oils, that is, they oxidize rapidly, causing gumming or clogging of the bearings to which they are applied. A mineral oil does not oxidize, nei- ther does an animal oil. But mineral oils have a low flash point; .that is, they fire at a low temperature: Ani- mal oils develop -fatty acids; these corrode and pit the metal they are used to lubricate. Adulterants of various kinds are added to oils and greases to give them "body." Guru, soap, lime, resin, tar, soda and free acids all have their own distinct purpose to serve. Sim- ple tests inay be applied to lubricants for quality and viscosity. To test for acid saturate a bit of cotton waste with the suspected oil, and lay it open upon the surface- of polished steel or brass for twenty-four hours. if steel shows even a slight corro- sion or, if the brass turns green, free acid is present. To test for gummy. adulterants place a drop of oil upon a piece of glass inclined at such an angle as to permit it to flow gently down. If any gum, resins or other viscosity producing elements are present, they will be apparent by the ,olor of the oil streak, as the adul- terants deposit themselves upon the glass in the Lona of sediment. A good quality of lubricant will not break down, when rubbed be- tween the finger tips, as quickly, as a poor one.. It would be economy in three ways at 1 -east to use two different kinds of oil; ecenomy of power, of machine wear, and of oils and in addition there would- be greater efficiency: --- Jno. Evans. O.

Ford predominates because it supplies the essen- tials of adequate, economical transportation. Ford has been the pioneer' in the automotive in- dustry; has blazed the trial in every fundamentally sound transportation principle. ' Ford service is an outstanding example of Ford predominance.
