The bull calf is always .treated 'rather hard.

Teasing or heating should not be allowed, for the day will eotne when he wilt repay you in hie iown way. An- other important lesson that .should be taught early Ile leading and tying. It the bull is accustomed to these two things while still a calf, he does net know anything else. We ring our bulls when they are about et year old, and teach them to lead with a staff. When these things are left un- til an older age the bull Is liable •to be angered and attempt to retaliate. The young bull that is ready for seranice' should never be kept in a narrow stall or in the dark, for these things certainly aro hard on his tem - pee, and are liable to cause difficult handling and vicionsaless. A bull should enjoy freedom, plenty of fresh air, and sufficient light.

Try the magneto; if it ;rives a good epark, then you are 111 luck; just let it alone, If you fool with it, you may have something. to fix that requires croser attention, If some'of ;the mir- ing isoil-soake'd, it shoidd be re- placed 'with laslean wire. New con- tacts should be soldered on to, the ends go that good connections mnay be made easily, both at the magneto and the spark plug terminals. Remove the spark plugs and clean them up, set the points with a gap of one-thirty-seeond of an ineh, and put them back. ' Now fill the fuel tank, fill the radia. tor, open the needle valveand set the impulse starter.. A.fter turning the -engine over several times, it should 'start otr in fine style. The carburter will probably need chang- ing a little, but aside froan that Ae machine is ready for a good season's work. If your experience is at ail like mine you will know that there are 11112113' things you forgotto do last fall, Per-, haps you didn't drain the fuel line, oil the ;Valves end cylinders earef,tallY, clean out the herd oilers, wipe the 'en- gine up in general, or replace a broken 874118 plug, In order that we do things 37 111 good shape as We go, it will be a good plan to start with the dirtiest work and make a clean sweep of things all the way through. The flral' equipment you need is a .big bunch of waste and a bucket of ker- osene.

Then 1111 the cup full, and turn in at least three good big cupfuls a grease so that the bearing is well' ciavered with a coat of live lubricant. ' Having finished that job, start in on the transmission. The case will need draining so that all of the sediment will be...removed from the botttnn of -the casting, Wash the case out clean with kerosene. Pay close attention to the condition of the gears; there may be a badly worn one that will need replacing before the season is done. If everything seems ln good shape, put in fresh oil and replace the COV01, ,There is one other dirty job to do, _and I hate it most of all; it is clean- ing up the crank -case, It is a good plan to take the bottom off the ease, so that the work may be done thor- oughly, Take a piece of string and tie the. oil gauge up so that it will not be damaged when the pan is let down or replaced.

Do not run the en- gine with kerosene in the crank -case. This is dangerous, for it is, very easy to heat a bearing that is not well lubricated, rind kerosene is not a lub- ricant. After rinsing the case, remove the kerosene, fill the case with fresh 'lubricating oil and turn the engine 0 few times ao that the oil will week into the hearings before the engine 'S called upon to do any work.

As a matter of precaution, clean the lime and settlings out of the cooling system. Caustic: soda or a diltrte Oolu- ±4011 of hydrochlotie acid will do the job in geed shape. The fuel line usually needs a little attention, Drain the tank and eemove the little catch pot at the bottom, This This is What Limits Your Profits A2'0 the profits from farming limit- ed? Yes, I suppose one must answer thits they are, for crop 'yielide are limited by the weather, climate, cult-. ural conditions, seed, soils, etc. But in other ways they are certainly un- limited. ' I make it a practicee frequently, after the day's work is over, to crank up the ear and ride about the country. I am never disappointed, for each time I discover something new and some- thing interesting and worth while to my business of farming and dalrylag. One evening last summer while riding I noticed a field of Wheat, cut and found any fields which were producing exceptionally that had been -under cultivetion as long even as twenty years. I know of only one such field within a radius of ten miles of my farm. But An a fetic years I are going back to,the same man, invite him to ride home with me, and then I shall show him a whole 0' 6710 that is pro- ducing exceptionally, and one that has been in crops for sixty years. I did not stop long enough to dis- cover this man% 0118017 in soil fertil- ity, but long enough to know that he believes his yields must necessarily decrease each year. This belief lim- its hie profits accordingly. Nearly everyone knows new that we may steadily build up our sail, and that it will pay a good profit while we are making it as fereile as it wee in its virgin state. And if we go even further than that and actually make it richer thelt it ever WaS, 13110 can say what the limit of production per acre 31183 111,? Kramst all el' us 'who read this from farming and crop produaion ere unlimited, they are certainly so from stockeraising, horse -raising, dairying, ete., tonne one can saY just how much milk our cattle will produce, el, what price we may receive for our surplus stock if they be pureebred. Many wise brought tremendeus prices. So -when we feel respondent about farming as a business, when we think how little profit vie are receiving let's think, too, how very unlimited our opportunities are. Let's eesolve that we will build up our eoil, each year, and that we will eaise registered pure-bred stock, and we will find our profits increasing until we will wonder ourselves if they really are limited. And then when he began to wonder, and think'the.anewer will tome Yes, the profits which a farm may yield ere 11111113081, They erre limited by the size, broadtmes, progressiveness, and capacitzeof ourselves. 'Which breed will produce meat the most profitably? We believe that the American beeecis aim the best, such as the Plymouth Rocks, Weren- dottes and Rhode Island Reda.

The inao who has plenty of time, and has a natterallove for the busiiness, may raise :fancy winter lambs and secure greater profits, and he may be justified in keeping a larger flock.

In removing fuel woo', becareful not to infure the more valuable trees : or Young growth. Remove the follow ing materials - 1, Sound sticks lying on the ground. This win Include tops which have. 00011 left in logging operations, and trees which have been blown over by the wind, crushed down by snow, or otherwise 00771031 over. If len oh the ground these tops of trees are a seri- ous fire menace, will eventually rot, and are then of no value, 2, Dead trees which are sound and etillestanding. They are usually dry, and make good firewood. 3, Trees which are diseased, or are seriously injured by insects so that they will probably die; also trees which are specially subject to serious ,disease or insect attack. By cutting them out the spread ot the dieease may be checked. Thus • chestnut which ie almost certaitt‘'to be killed when attacked by the chestnut bark' disease, should be cut out in prefer. ence to other kincla of trees whenever this disease is present. 4, Crooked trees which are ot.owil• Mg out straight ones. The former will not become valuable while the e latter may. 5. Large old trees unsuitable for lumber, and having big tops which shade out smeller trees growing be- lief:la:11st ItnliEtel 1111.trees which are over -top. ped and stunted by larger and better ones. The former are not likely to be. come valuable. • 7. Trees of the less valnable kinds which are crowding gond trees, Thus 31 11101180518 or ct broch which is crowfi• ing ont a white oak or it hard maple of email size and health should be re- moved. 8. Trees which by some chance are growing on ground unsuitell to them. Thus e yellow poplar on a dry rtdgo should be cut out in preference to a hickory, au oak or it pine in its locall- Ey. 9. Slowly growing trees which are crowding out equally valuable kinds that grow faster. Thus a white oak, hickory, or sugar maple shouldbe re- moved in preference to a yellow pop- lar, black walnut or ash. • 10, Trees badly fire -scarred at the butt. Those are of less value for lum- ber than -amid trees. They usually become rotten, andsare among the first toboThuloewniamovar.t r ees for cordwood .are those which range from four to ten inches in diameter. The yield of cord -wood rom trees smaller than foul...inches in diameter is very slight, and trees larger them ten. inche-s in diameter are usually more valnable for some other purpose.

For years we Wave heard much re- garding the work of the farmer, the needs of the rural school and the' 'val- ue of the :rural church. There seemed to be the feeling that if the farmer -We's Inethled to raise 'big .Crops and sell these crops for fair peices, if eve could have up-to-date churches and schools in our 'country distriects .ev- eryone would be happy. And so apeakers eulogized or pitickthe farm- ee-as the ease seemed to demand, much oratory was forthcomtag vo- garding the sclutols and voltunciThave been written eegarding the country church. • What is the surprise of the public to find etideletely that She coun- try woman refusee to be satisfied with a recipe for mustard pickles and patterns foe tatted Medallions!

Ito knew' his business ,and evoked harcl ened intelligently, but as the neighbore 0*1 ,pressecl it, "Charlie just 085108 003t never get on." And be didn't. His wife had not lived on a farm before. She could not bear to work with “those dirty ohickene," wouldn't "nesess "around" with milk and butter and tiever hadeehoed in a garden and /levee expected to. Moreover, it was too hard to can the shrplus fruit and vegetables so she bought hers ready canned, She "adored" extravagant clothes, and then she wanted some place to wear them, and as tir country women had little time for socialaffairs sho had to have a horse and buggy et her disposal constantly se she could chive into the village to numerous parties and "ftinctions" of other klatie; Do you wonder that the neighbors said, "Poor Charlie, Jane surely leads hint et merry chase. She's no ,good as a farmer's wife. He ought to gave known better than to have ntanied her," It took all he could make to pay the rent and keep up the house. hold expenses and he never had any time for a vacation himself. How- ever, this one good thing eame out of having this couple in the neighbor- hood. Seme of the men began to appreciate just, how much a home- maker can do to make or •nute the euccess of hie venture as a fernier. After all, the farmer and his family are seeking just what all of Ile are eecking-a well-rounded, abundant, satisfying life.
