Give the Cutting Bar and Steel Plate Attention -Keep the Knife Sharp -Go Over the Machine Daily - Returns Front !lees. .4Cootrlbuted byy Ontario Department of Agricultwo, 'Toronto.) This macblue has given splendid service to the farmers of the past and present generations. Fifty years ago the mower was a perfected machine. and the improvements since that date have not been of a revulutiouury nature. Watch the Cutting Bar. Thte machine Is suoJected to a number of abuses, traceable to the carelessness of the average farm hand, lack of atteuGuu 1n idling, dull ledger plates and knife operated over rough or stony ground. 10 II h 21000 kulfe running close to the soil sur- taoe, injury from routcct with gravel, sand and small stuu,-s Is frauuent. The watchfulness ut the over: tar to avoid aubjeCtlne the cutter bar to in- jury le the beat protection wheu the mower is in use un rough ground. The cutter bar with its uuuteruus guards can be elevated or tilted quickly by au experienced operator and obatructiona avoided. The guards should be kept tight and in perfect allgnmeut. Give the Steel Plate Attention. The small steel plate that is rivet- ed iveted to the guard at the point where the knife edge performs the scissor movement should be kept sharp or at least not permitted lu wear round. These plates, commonly known as ledger plates, become dull with use, a condition that greatly reduces the elncteney of the mower and Increases the draft. A mower with dull or rounded ledger plates will stick in heavy cutting or damp grass. A sharp knife and sharp edged ledger plates means light draft for the team and clean, free cutting of the crop. The Knife Must Be Kept Sharp. Too much attention cannot be given to the cutter bar with' its at- tached guards and quick moving knife. If the mower sticks at every mouse -nest or tuft of grass, the place to look for the trouble is in the dull knife, the ledger plates, tire worn guards, or the keepers that hold the knife down In place. With the now mower it will be noted that the cut- ting edges are sharp, that there is but little play for the knife other than as intended. In the past too lit- tle attention has been given to keep- ing the ledger plates sharp. With these dull, no matter how good the knife is, tough material will be drawn beneath the knife Instead of being cut, forcing the blade up against the guard causing wear that gives a loose fitting knife, poor work and greatly increased draft. Why the New Mower Cuts Beat. The experience of all is that the mower cute better the first season than ever after. This experience is largely due to the tact that too little attention is paid to the parts that are responsible for the cutting. The wear on the section points of the mower knife is greatest near the point. This wear, together with the grinding necessary to keep the knifebeharp, changes the shape of the section con- siderably, and in such a way as to reduce Its efficiency as a cutting im- plement. The man doing the grind- ing should endeavor to keep the or- iginal Shape of the section 1n so far as possible. Many of the emery grinders used In sharpening mower knifes grind away the pointe of the section to a serious extent without doing very much sharpening. A spe- cially shaped emery or carborundum stone or file should be used and the work done In the farm shop. A spare knife should, always be at band in the field, Go Over the Machine Daily. The mower should be gone over carefully twice each day and all bolts tightened. The main bearings should he oiled at least once each hour, and the pitman bearings at least every half hour. When the mower is not in use the knife should be removed. The nutter bar should be elevated to the vertical position when the ma- chine to not in use: A little heavy mineral oil should be brushed over all parts that are likely to rust. Don't use paint oils. The mower, like the binder, to give Its beat service, should be given good care. -L. Stevenson, Sec-, Dept. of Agriculture. Returns From Bees. (food returns are obtained from keeping bees in Canada, the condi- tions In many parts of the country being particularly favorable for honey production. Yet much uncer- tainty exists, and misconceptions have arisen as to the returns to be expected. One sometimes hears that a colony of bees has produced in one season•four or five hundred pounds of honey. Such yields, however, are exceptional, and are the result of a combination of fortunate ctrcum- stances, abundant flowers of alsike and white clover, fireweed, or other important honey plants, a particular- ly Industrious colony, a well trained and experienced beekeeper, and, above all, favorable weather. They cannot be obtained from every hive, nor can they be repeated year after year. Somtimes a year of failure fol- lows a year of plenty. To get reliable figures It is neces- sary to average the returns from the colonies in the apiary for a number of years. The latest figurer( show that the average annual* yield of honey has varied from 18 pounds per colony In the least profitable apiary to 183 pounds per colony In the most profi- table apiary. The average annual production for all the apiaries was 63 pounds per colony, which is high enough to make a aatlsfactory profit. These figures indicate the importance of good management, the returns of only 18 pounds having been due to inexeerienee. neaiA gauge has been invented to be permanently Attached to an entente - bite tire to show its p3ensure at all times. -1 SL FT WALE& ' !STERNS Ni Very Practical Instruction its to flow to Build. 'Pave the Cistern Large Enough ---The Capacity Usually Required --How to Build -The Bottle Type Cistern. 9lost Common In Ontario. (contributed by Ontario Department of Aerlcultu re, Toronto.) When you build a cistern make It large enough. Dry periods with the resulting water shortage must be 5.1111ed agalust,,aud the best insur- ance Is a cistern of large capacity. < patchy. A round cistern 10 feet deep and s (trot 1n diameter will hold 110 bar- rels of water, ur approximately 3,750 g.Jk1 s. Vol' the ordinary household where s.,tt water is to be used for all pur- poses outer than cooking, It is well to figure uu a daily water use per utdn•idos) of not less thau 12 gallons. 1b curry the household safely through the long winter period the cistern should have a storage capao- ily sufficient for the requirements of oath individual to last at least 120 days. Each member of the family would, therefore, require for that period In a modern house 1,440 gal- lons of water. This figure includes the requirement fur toilet, bath, laun- dry, and huusecleaning. How much ruin will the roof of a farm house collect in a year? In Southern Ontario the quantity of water collected from the root of a 30 x40 house, if properly eave (roughed, will be not lese than 22,- 000 gallons. In Northern Ontario, where a greater part of the precipi- tation is in the form of snow, the water collected may not be more than half the figure given for Southern Ontario. 1t is a large quantity any- way, and ample for the needs of a family of four people, if all were collected and saved. Building the (Intern. The structure must be strong enough to stand the strain exerted by the pressure outward and down- ward of a large body of water. After determining the size required and the location, an excavation of the desired dimension le made and a foundation laid. Re-inforced concrete is the best foundation and floor material. The re-inforcing can be stiff hard wood, old piping, railroad iron, small 1 beasts or angle iron imbedded In the cement and used in sufficient quantity to prevent any cracking through settling of the soil or weight of water above. The strong- est type of wall for cistern is the monolithic or concrete re-Intorced with metal, wire or rods. Strong walls cau, however, be built of stone, tile, brick or cement blocks that will stand the heavy strain, providing such are re-inforced and well backed with firm soil. Re-inforcing metal should be used -in all cistern walls no matter what material is used 1n the structure. Without re-inforcing cracks that are difficult to close may develop and open. For cisterns over eight feet in diameter the re-inforcing should con - sits of vertical wrought iron rods, long enough to reach from the foun- dation to the top of the wall. With such spaced In the masonry at in- tervals of two feet and cross -tied with number three wire at eighteen inch Intervals, the cistern wall will be strong enough to withstand any pressure likely to be put on it. , The Bootle Type Cistern. The bottle type cistern is gen- erally used In Ontario. The advan- tage of the bottle type is in that the surface exposed area is -reduced. An equally good cistern can be made with vertical walls all the way up. A flat concrete cover can be made, for such by re-inforcing with I beams, or large iron piping. A man"hole should be provided In the top or cover. An inflow pipe and an over- flow pipe must be provided for at the Intended high water level. A section of pipe of suitable size'for a pump to water line should be built into the cistern wall- at a height to suit the location when it is planned to install the pump. All pipe placed in cistern walls should be set in a mixture of •one part fine sand and one part cement.. Cement w that are required to hold wete ho d be carefully constructed of good clean material, well mixed and in roper, proportions, one part cement, three parts clean sharp sand, four parte clean gravel, p -small stone. In build-, Ing,the green concrete should be well tamped and worked down against the sides of the forms In order to make, a smooth wall. The horizontal re- inforcing iron can be put in .as•the wall goes up. With square tanks or cisterns the corners require special attention and must be strengthened by imbedding heavy iron. Iron bare one inch in cross section or inch pipe can be used for this purpose, after being bent to the desired shape. Scrap Iron from old implements can be used to advantage In re-lnforcing. concrete, and there is generally a sufficiency of such old iron about the farm to answer fbe deinand for re- inforcing any concrete work that may be undertaken. Where cement block or hollow tile are used in cistern construction, the space 'within the tile are beet filled with cement con- crete; such will permit of better jointing and also strengthen the wall. A light iron rod, or two strands of number three wire, should be imbedded in the cement as each round of blocks Is set. Ordi- nary building brick, set-tn)-cenfent mortar, make very good- and durable cisterns. All masonry 'cisterns should be given a coat of cement plaster inside: If no re-inforcing iron is used then care should'be• taken to pack the soil on the outside of the cistern wall firmly to increase the walla resistance agalnet pressure outward. -L.

The fishy flavor and odor In butter has, in some isolated cases, been found to be due to the cows pastur- ing in marshes which are periodically flooded by the tide and on the grasses of which small crabs and dried or de- cayed remnants of shell fish and of other fish are found. Bacteriologists have reported also the existence of certain species -of bacteria capable of developing in milk, cream, and butter a fishy flavor. It is further possible for butter to become tainted with a fishy flavor when It 1s kept in close proximity to fish, In which -case the butter absorbs the odor. Each of the above cited causes of flshines is quite possible, but with the conditions under which this but- ter becomes ashy it is not very probable. By far the most common causes of fishiness in commercial butter„are unclean and rusty cream ahlpldng cans, churning cream with a rela- lively high acidity, an acidity above - about .35%, and holding the cream In a forewarmer or in a vat, in which the copper lining and colts are not properly covered with tin, for a considerable length of time. One may prevent, with a certainty, the recurrence of fishy flavor in but- ter by paying close attention to the following suggestions: 1. Eliminate rusty cans and return to the farmer cans only that are thoroughly cleaned, rinsed, steamed, and dried. 2. Keep the co(,pes surfaces In forewarmers, vara, and coolers well tinned. Do not permit exposed cop- per surfaces to, become coated -with verdigris. Wash all forewarmers, pumps, and pasteurizers, coolers, vats, and 'conduits thoroughly each day after use and flush them out again with bot water immediately be- fore use the next day.- It the coils and lining In the cream vats show any exposed copper, do not hold the cream in them over sight. 3. If the cream arrives at the creamery'sour, neutralize it to :26o/a acid or below. Do not churn cream that has an acidity of .35% or higher. 4. If you pasteurize by the Bask method, beat the -cream to a temper- ature of 180 fo' 185° 1'.

Coot ribkited by Ontario Department of agru-ulluto. 1'Oroato./ Every yoar the decay of fence posts on Ontario farms requires a replace- ieent of not leas than twenty million posts. This repair bill of Live million dollars each year could be very great- ly reduced through the use of wood preservatives. A white cedar pest cost log twenty-five cents may list t1f- 1ae11 years in the natural condition, but treated with creosote It will last thirty years. It should be good buei- 111'6a to treat all posts, saving money, pasts and ljgbor. White Cedar Boats Soon Unobtain- able. White cedar posts will soon be un- obtainable. Other woods cau be used; woods with a reputation for early de- cay, but which can be made very efficient by the creosote treatment. Fur lnatauce, soft maple or willow posts will last but four years in the natural condltiuu; treat then( with creosote and such will be serviceable fur twenty years. It coats about twenty cents per post for creosote treatment. If the poet will last dou- ble or live times as long through be- ing creosoted, eurety the twenty cent investment is a profitable one. Decay Caused by Fungi and Bacteria; ' Decay or rot In fence posts Is caused by Yung! and bacteria. Wood thistle beiug largely cellulose in a good food for bacteria and fungi, and the.molst, away from light, con- dition just beneath the surface of the soil is also suitable to their develop- ment. Hence we see the -Posts rotting off just below the surface of the sell' in which such are set. VO -ten a post is soaked with creosote .it becomes a poison medium to the fungi and bacteria that may attack it; and their growth is greatly retarded. Coal tar creosote is the most satisfactory pre- servative that we can 11511 on the farms. The posts to be treated must be thoroughly seasoned and dry to absorb sufficient creosote. The prac- tice of spraying or brushing on hot creosote is not a very profitable one, as the wood does not absorb enough of the preservative to be of much use. How to Get Best Itestilts. To get good results, -an open tank with fire place beneath, or other heat- ing arrangement, should be set up.. The coal tar creosote Is heated In the open tank, and then the posts are Immersed long enough to permit a good soaking with the hot oil. A large all drum with one end removed and set over a fireplace makes a cheap and efficient tank, If nothing larger is at hand on the farm. The follow- ing points should be kept in mind by the man doing the work: (1) Have the posts clean, dry and free from bark. (2) Heat the creosote to 180° F., and maintain for 2 to 6 hours, ac- cording to condition of posts. (3) Immerse the poste in the creo- sote deep enough to give a treatment that will extend six inches above the ground line after poets are set In fence row. (4) Leave the posts in the hot on long enough to permit them to cool after the fire has been drawn. (6) Add more creosote to the tank to take the place of that absorbed. (6) Uee small posts; 431, inches, In diameter and round are to be pre- ferred. (7) Do not let the temperature go', above 200° F. -L. Stevenson, 0.A.C4 Guelph. Cottage Cheese Easy to Make. On most farms there is produced considerable skimmilk. It is fed to calves, hogs or chickens, while little thought is give._ to its value ae ht--' man food on tWtarm. One form of utilizing this valuable food in the household 1s as cottage cheeaee, ori Dutch cheese. Cottage cheese contains all of the proteins of milk and a little fat. It contains more protein than most meats and the cost is very slight. Each pound of cottage cheese con- tains about one-fifth of a pound of protein, most of which is digestible; This food alone is delicious and palatable, and It may be made more so by adding a little sweet or sour cream, salt,''chopped onion, and pi- mentos. It may be used In aandwtcbes and salads, and served with fruits, jellies and nuts. As a meat substi- tute cottage ,Cheese rolls make a pleasing Mph. Cottage cheese may be made in any home by permitting the milk to sour naturally until It curdles or clabbers. Cut the curd Into fine pieces with a knife and cook slowly over a slow fire, preferably at the back of the stove, until the curd contracts and wheys off. Remove the whey, wash with cold water to firm the curd and wash out some o,( the acid taste. Place in colander or hang in a cloth sack to drain. After cooling and draining it is ready for the table. It requires no curing, Any one who likes game pude to eat, such as quail, grouse and pheas- ant, can have a supply of meat just as good as any of :these by raising a tew guinea fowls. Gitlneae hunt their own feed nine months In the year, ,and are as good as a watch dog to raise an alarm when something goes, amiss. It is a hardy hawk that will take a chicken when there are gui' neariaround.

Dr. Copeland says that the cigar- ette is the most suitable smoke, as the tobacco taken in that form is more perfectly consumed, and as combus- tion is better, the nicotine is practi- cally destroyed. "There can be no doubt," he said, "that smokers find v solace and comfort in tike moderate use of tobacco." Dr, Copeland's statement confirmed the pronouncement made some yearn ago by the Lancet.- As the result of an investigation conducted by that eminent medical journal, the Lancet announced that the cigarette is the purest form in which tobacco can be smoked, URIL Keeps EYES Cieaar, Bright and Beautiful Wna ttwa. t :o..aetas*.tatnveamBook Stop!
