G Is, HALL, M. R, CLARK, Proprietor, i;tlitese tools, beginning with the plows, the most prominent features are the de- velopment of tractor plows and the elimination of left hand, wood .beam, and other obsolete types. Practically, all the newer light tree - tor plows are of the self -lift or auto- matic type, may be furnished with combined rolling coulters and jointers, have quick detachable.shares, and niay bo furnished with a variety of bottoms to suit soil conditions, Mention may also .he made of the self lift light tractor disc plow, a plow with inter- changeable disc and mould -board bot- toms, and special plows for plowing stony land. Fere also may be con, manure spreaders are now made with sidered the peculiar, machine ;Mown some form of widespread apparatus, l as the "once-over" .tiller. This imple- some perhaps a little more 'efficient 1 ment which -is made in both tractor than others, probably the ;worst fault and horse plow sizes, consists of a rotating knife member which is held in the furrow Splice as it is turned by the mould -board. This "rotor" is driven by a small gas engine mounted on the frame of the plow, or, in case of engine plows, by power from the tractor. The "rotor" revolving at high speed threshes and pulverizes the soil to a perfect seed bed at a single passage of the machine. An= other curious implement that' is prii marily •a plow is the "once-over" quack grass killer. This machine is mounted on wheels and bulks about as large as a road -grading machine. There is first a sixteen -inch plow- share, followed by an elevator some- what on the plan of that of a potato digger, .but with a solid or continuous carrier, which elevates the furrow slice to a revolving cylinder very sim- ilar to that of a threshing machine which thoroughly threshes and pulver- izes the soil,' which is then passed back to a revolving screen which al - love the finely pulverized soil to drop back to the furrow, while the quack grass and other roots are retained to be passed to an elevator which de- posits them in a wagon that is driven along beside the machine. This ma- chine is engine driven, and as might be expected, requires a fair-sized trac- tor to pull it, and it is,'of course, a rather expensive affair. Neither of these machines have as yet come into very extensive usage but they are interesting developments that hold promise for the future. Of the com- mon horse-drawn plows there are to be mentioned a new very light and . simple riding .plow, harrow and sub- sail attachments, and two deep -tilling plows of the_disc type, one of which while not adapted to quite as deep Plowing as the other may be con- verted into a two: furrow shallow disc plow.' In land rollers the tendency is to- ward an increased use of the bar and corrugated types, and also of various forms of pulverizers, crushers, and roller -harrows, some of these last, particularly a "western" double star - wheel design, are very efficient imple- ments. A very prominent feature of the tendency toward the better tillage of the soil is the increasing use of the double disc harrow, the solid disc proving to be more popular than the cutaway. Perhaps the last word in this .implement is the double disc, solid in front, cutaway rear, equipped with tongue or fore -truck, transport trucks, and so designed that the rear discs may be readily- detached,' There are now a number of special engine disc harrows conveniently designed for control from the tractor, and a neve horse-drawn single disc harrow with offset gangs that leave no uncut centre ridge. Other implements that deserve more extensive use are the curve blade, harrows and pulverizers of the "acme" and "killifer" types, for some purpas- es to be preferred to the disc, and the light straight blade disc harrows of the "Meeker" type used by garden- ers and onion growers in propaning very fine seed beds, these implements, in fact, practically taking the place of hand raking. Another good imple- ment is the "light draft" .spring tooth harrow, originally intended for the orcherclist,but of almost equal value to the general crop and grain farm- er. The sulky weeder or riding mulch- er as it is sometimes called, is a much lighter implement and may 'be equip- ped with grass and grain seeder at- tachments. It is particularly adapted to the needs of the grain and alfalfa farmer who wants to cover a large of any of then being the tendency to wind themselves with tough straw- or marsh hay and for log and increase the draft of the machine. Personally, I have but little liking for a return apron spreader, as the return mechane ism is about as complicated' and as likely to get out of order as anything about the machine, 'and while its weight is not s'o great as half the apron •of the full apron spreader, yet I cannot see where tlfo disadvantages of its complication and the bother of always having to see- that the apron is returned ,before the machine is ready to be loaded, is offset 'by any practical advantage. It is sufficient to say apropos to this, that by far the larger numbers of spreaders now •be - ng, sold are of the endless, apron type. Excepting where it is intended to use a mechanical loader, I am inclined to favor the ]ow -down extended four- truck type rather than the higher ma- chine having all four wheels under the load. The increased draft of the former is so slight that it will never be noticed in actualswork, but change from pitching into a low machine to loading a high one, and you will notice the difference quick .enough. It is true that the spreaders with the front wheels ander the load as now built, are much lower than those of a few years ago, at leeet one maker having 'practically succeeded in putting the front wheels under the load and yet retaining a low-down front truck con- struction by means of an "automobile" type of front axle, the front and rear wheels of .this spreader having fire seine width of track. In buying a I spreader it might be well to consider whether. or not the wheels are 001 spaced that the machine can be used, for top -dressing row crops or for! strawberry mulching, and there eel jobs for which some spreaders are adapted for which others will not serve. Some spreaders may be equip- ped with lime hoods, at least two makes are furnished with extra top boards for increasing the capacity of the machine in drawing light manure, o:.e at least can be equipped for dis- tributing the manure in rows, a device of particular value to market garden- ers, melon and cucumber ;'ruvors and four spreaders are now furnished with straw spreadeng attachment,. This brings us to the straw spread- er, a machine of compavntively recent introduction and one whose use will pros sbly Semain somewhat restricted to localities that are largely grain 'wising and where the straw is neither baled and wad or fed and used for bed- ding for live stock. There are now, exclusive of manure spreader attach- ments, at least seven of these ma- chines on the market and there is no standardization, only two of them be- ing anything alike. Four are design- ed to be used with any wagon or truck with a cake rack or "header barge," one is a combined straw and manure spreader, rack and all that may be used on 'practically any wagon gear, one is.a separate wheeled machine to be hitched behind the wagon like a hay loader, and the seventh is a com- plete machine, truck rack, spreading apparatus altogether, being a rather bulky machine, Five of these machines are advertised as being also adapted i to spreading manure, x , one maker claiming that his machine will spread manure over twenty feet wide. I doubt very much if they will be able to compete in thisrespect with the regular manure spreader, as four of them require two men for their opera tion, a driver and a man to help feed the spreader, as the aprons or carriers of these machines are short and nar- row, the longest of them being ten feet. Further, as mounted on a flat rack, they would be unhandy:to.load. As these machines are wagon attach- ments they cost but about half as much as the regular manure spreader, and it may be that they could be used with a wagon box and give better service than would at first thought be expected, These restrictions do not, of course, apply to the combined`one- man straw and manure spreader which is intended to hanclls both materials. Anyone who contemplates the pur- chase of a straw spreader should fa- miliarize himself with all the makes, as each has some advantage peculiar to itself, as for example, a device for saving the grain left An the straw, a :feature of .011e make. As fo' limo 'spreaders and commove cis, fertilizer dietributcrs, I can but mention the narrow truck "broadcast- er's type, a line spreader with a harrow attaehment•by means of which the material its spread And harrowed into the ground at one operation, the row compost drill, and the fertilizer attachment for cwltd- vaters, by means of which cotnnser- ciai fertilizers ate distributed to growinlg row crops at the time ,of cultivation, At least two Makes of dultivators are furnished with these attachments, and there is a separate attachment .that may be attached to most any cultivator, Comae now to the actual tiifago The foal should be well fed during the summer.

A man. was tolling me what quips and quirks he was taking advantage of to help out when times pinch. It' called to mind eonie, of the ways we Bays taken on our own farm to get a little more wear out of different tools. lame example, these was a wheel rake that came to us along with some other things when we bought a piece of land adjoining our farm. As it' seemed to be a fairly good one, we; put our rake away and used.the'old' one. When a shaft was broken, we took' one out of the rake we bad stored' to put in the place of the broken one.I So it has gone on. `Now and then a. part would give way in the rake and1 we would draft the pieces front the. other. We did the same thing with a mow -I ring machine. We had two of the same I kind after we bought the neighboring farm. These we used, changing off as we liked. When any part was badly, worn or broken we went to, the other for a substitute piece, In this way we have made out 'to keep from buying a new machine a number of years. A neighbor of ours is a very handy man at this thing of rigging up ma- chinery out of old parts. Out of some Md mowing machine wheels he built a l fine land -roller, so good that we got him to help us„ to make one just like it. If we have a breakdown he is al- most sure to have some way of mend- ing it without going to much expense. He certainly es a. handy man in the neighborhood, and he saves a great deal of money for us every year. This knack of doing over old machinery is one of no small moment in farm economy and worth cultivating. There is this danger—that the do- ing over of old machinery, and replac- ing of worn parts, can be carried too far. Trying to make a piece of ma- chinery do good work after it is al- most ready for the junk -heap is very often poor economy; the time spent in tinkering would go a long way toward paying for new machinery. Besides, the old machinery that accumulates on a farm, when old machinery is saved, is quite an eye-sore,—E. L. V. But slight changes have recently been made in grain drills, that is, with the exception of the designing of special tractor -drawn designs. The use of narrow, three and four -inch drills, does not seem to be increasing very fast, and as for other crop plant- ing machine',-, a special four -row bean planter, tho motor corn planter as combined with the motor cul'..' tor, large four -row list- ers, and a potato planter that cuts the seed as it p'sato it, completes the list. Nor has there been any marked change in the design of the new culti- vators' placed on the market within bhe last few years. 'There is some in- crease In the populiittity of the steal- low or surface type, eome jvery effi- oient one torso,implements with wide cultivating sweeps or -blades that cut all the space between the rows being offered, and attention may well be Called to devices for weeding in Or very close to the rows, brush weeders, tobacco hoes, some new thee° and four row beet and bean cultivators, avid the motor onlbivato's 06 which there are now five stakes actively on the market, exclusive of garden tractors. • Every phase of labor and otganiza- teien •required by the exigencies of infidels werfare are shown in the Canadian War Memorials paintings to iso exhibited at the Canadian a- tional Exhibition this year, Remove scorch marks from linen by tabbing with a fresh -cut onion.

Bens that start molt- ing this month generally end in time to become good winter 'layers. But, goodness, 'how ragged they look) Molting is not a disease, and yet nearly all the poultry looter books refer to it. It is a condition that de velops whatever weakness there is in a fowl, and sickness and death often follow. The period lasts •about 100 days, which dates from the first fall- ing of feathers to'the conipletion of the work_ A fowl in good health will grow feathers rapidly. In such eases there will not be that ragged appearance which is noted in cases of slow or hard Blatt. Fat hens readily shed their feathers, but they seem to lack the power of promptly renewing the coat., A fowl that is poor In flesh has great difficulty in shedding her feathers. • Molting fowls must have clean, pro- tected houses and plenty of exercise. They must be fed a nitrogenous food. Corn, cornmeal, middlings and pota- toes must be given sparingly. The males should be separated, from the females. Bran, green bone, sunflower seed and linseed meal are highly valu- able in the bill of fare. Spicy condi- ments must be avoided, especially sul- phur, If the hen is not in proper condition for molting, no amount of stimulating food will make up for the lack of a reserve of•,suitable material for cell growth; and the use of spices at this time can only overstimulate and act injuriously on the future of the fowl. The laying season of the heavy- weight ducks ends this month. March -hatched pullets should be laying now. Get rid of the surplus fowls before they start to molt. Caponiiing can be performed in August. Set hens or incubators for Febru- ary `table poultry. Dampen the brooms in hot suds once a week tit clean and preserve them a little longer. Add a cupful of vinegar to water, in which colored clothes are washed. This prevents running. To test the heat of an oven, put a bit of white paper ,in it. If too hat the paper will blacken.

Acres upon acres of centre rings were planted in corn. Midways and parking spaces were turned into sheep pastures and the ballyhoo and bark of the apielee are no more., County -fairs had degenerated even before the war. There is no denying that fact even by some of the sophisti- cated mortals who ran then. Community fairs, on the other hand, were rapidly gaining a foothold -when the war intervened. Let us hope they regain their standing and go ahead, for they are educational and help to raise standards in any community. They' tend to arouse local pride, de- velop a friendey spirit of rivalry and. bring about a better co-operation be- tween families of the neighborhood, ailso between town and country. They have no gold mine of premiums. They are purely local afl'airs—sortof minia- ture county fairs with the commercial - fed amusements left out. Several,years of experience bi as- sisting in community fans, acting as secretary and vting malty fairs in other localities, convince' inc that one of the chief faults of the average fair is lade of unity in exhibits, Lack of s':aee is sometimes responsible for this, Lack of ekperience on the pari of those in charge of departments often causes exhibits of high quality to show poorly. This hinders compo- tent judging, spoils, the effect and sometimes 'leads to dissatisfaction among those who are ,showing :Cornu products. Where vegetables are be- ing shown every exhibit should be uniform. A peck •of :potatoes, beets, turnips, three pumpkins, squashes, a definite number of this or that; then with plenty elf room the display be- comes both attractive and educational. Jam things together and the display As neither educational net, attractive. If it is Possible to sceure enough vacant store buildings:in town to hold the exhibits, hale of the battle for a successful .community fair is won, The next best plan, but one that usually takes mot's work mull cash outlay, is to have booths along the .sides of streets, or canvas tops erected in the street itstif., Hartford City, Incl„ a blace where one of the most elaborate, est arranged and successful fairs I have fiver seen is put on every .Year; are not frequent rains; then turn it over, break the sods and mix well and leave it in a heap until needed for and s singled with all kendsof men use.

They show cattle, horses and )togs, as well as the lesser farm products, and build stock pens along the aide of the public square. The town folks turn their little city over to their country cousins for the week. This fair raises a considerable sum of money each year from banks, mer- chants and manufacturers; but large sums• are not necessary. Some money is necessaryeef course, but it can eas- ily be raised bya few good solicitors among both fainters and merchants, for all are directly benefitted; but strong competition and ribbons will bring out the exhibitors. The import- ant thing is to appoint hustlers, men with both knowledge and "pep," on the important committees. I•Iave lived men for department heads, Give the poultry exhibit to a live poultryman, Let the best liked truck grower handle the truck crop exhibits, Turn the fruit exhibits over to a fruit grower. Get the women interested and your fair will make good. Make your fair interesting. If the qualities cif the exhibits are high, If they are weld displayed and if there is interest by the exhibitors, the visi- tor and the cas:.al spectator will have three things to carry away with him:1 1, He will be attracted. 2. IIe will be interested, 3. He will talce home, as will the' exhibitors themselves, ideas' that are sound and which will prove of worth. The conununityfair is the best place I have ever visited for the exchange 0f ideas among farmers. It beats the institute • unci community school, because men and women ex- press themselves more freely, Amusements help make the fair a success. .Games, foot races, greased poles and kindred contests bring laughs and some pride to the contest.. Opts, and they gimp .more because they are local and the contestants are known to all. There should be exhi- bits of household products--ltoute- baked bead, pies, calve; home -canned foods, jellies, preserves, butter; needlework, and outer things in which woven are interested. Make your fair have as ranch unity as possible, tape as much tinno in stag-. ing exhibits as you can spare, and community fairs will continuo to prosper. ,,,u:0 i ., ow m7. 1---T,=1,-,.v �' a a•^' c ---. rm ° , By Joh Z3, ili.x.13er AM,M-D ; Dr, Huber will answer all signed letters pertaining to Health.
