See That the Reel is Properly Ad lusted --Study the Length of the Grafin--KKep a Watch on the Knotter Don't. Forget the Oiling. (Contrlbutedby Ontario Department of Agriculture, Toronto.) The grain. binder or modern har- vester is a complicated machine with many moving parts, requiring care- ful adjustment and constant care if it is to give the best service and last. Perfect sheaf or bundle making be- gins with the delivery of the standing grain to the knife and platform, in this the reel plays an important part; if properly adjusted for height and distance forward, the grain will fail evenly and will be carried in like con- dition to the packers and binding at- tachment. With the reel improperly adjusted, the grain Ina' fall forward or it may 'be scattered on the plat- form. Once scattered, It is inipas• sible for the conveyors or packers to straighten it out, to the degree neces- sary for perfect sheaves, Careful watch should, therefore, be kept on the reef and adjustment made while the machine is in motion to meet the conditions caused by leek of uniform- ity in. the crop. The grain past;ieg from the conveyors or elevator is next adjusted by the butting attach- ment and the packers. Meeting the Needs of Long or Shorts Grain. The binder table or the butting at- tachment can be shifted to meet the needs of long or short grain, and the binder operator must lyre alive to the making of the necessary adjustments or the bundles will not be of a desir- able shape and tightness. The"'bied- ing attachment with its twine run needle and knotter will give highly efficient service if given reasonable attention by way of oiling and proper adjustment. The binding attachment parts rust very easily during periods of idleness, so liberal applications c>' a heavy mineral oil or grease to all parts not protected by paint will save the machine, will save time, labor:, and temper. Rust can be removed by sandpaper, but harvesting ma- chines were never intended for such. treatment. The wooden slats that form an important part of the can- vas conveyors will sometimes tear loose. This is caused by the frame and rollers not being in proper align- ment or square. This difficulty is overcome by adjusting the cross braces of the frame uutil`'it is square and the rollers in alignment, The Transmission of Power. The power for operating the vari- ous parts of the grain binder ie tran- smitted by chain and sprocket, the various units being provided with tighteners. If the various chains are not run at proper tension, trouble will follow. If too tight the links will break, or the draft will be heavy. If too loose the machine willbe driven with a jerky motion, If the chains are just slack enough so such can not be taken off by hand when the machine is not running, they will usually be satisfactory when in mo- tion. Chain links and sprockets should be well oiled at all points of contact. Missing sheaves or failure to tie the bundle is a it 'ter ton trou- ble, usually due to the operator's failure to make the adjustments necessary to give full efficiency to the Lying mechanism. If the needle fails to carry the twine far enough over that it may be grasped by the twine ,,;c, a knot will not be tied, since but v-,; end is held, This condition is g.iyeraliy easily recognized by the twine being knotted in a loop at one end, the other end being free. When the twine disc is held too tight by the clamp and spring, it will in turn hold tae twine so tight as to pinch it off and cause a- failure to tie. This con- dition is generally indicated by one end of the band being frayed. The loosening of the spring that holds the twine disc will remedy this fault. If the twine disc is loosened too much, the knot can not be tied; this condi- tion is generally indicated by both ends of the twine band being frayed. Keep a Careful Eye on the Knotter. CASH Tr!

Caused • Largely by Unfavorable Conditions—Preven- tion and Treatment—Get Rid of Chronic Runts. (Contributed by Ontario Department of Agriculture. Toronto The occurrence of this disease ill young animals seems to be largely caused by unfavorable conditions of life, inducing impaired nutrition of the body. In particular there appears to be a lack of bone development, due to a deficiency of lime salts and other bone -forming ei__,.nts in the body. Lack of exercise„and close confine- ment in damp quarters are predispos- ing influences and are a cause of the disease occ.:se n:.-ty in foals and calves. In pigs the disease occurs general- ly soon after weani>ag time and par- ticularly in litters born during the late fall and winter months. At this time, improper feeding of the young pigs associated with exposure to in- clement weather and close confine- ment in cold damp quarters combine in accentuating the tendency towards faulty nutrition and ill -health, which are forerunners of Rickets. The feeding of young pigs excessively on corn and also keeping them exclu- sively on a sloppy diet of buttermilk is at times responsible. In some cases there appears to be an inherited tendency in litters, due possibly to errors in the management and feed- ing of the sow while pregnant, and after farrowing. Symptoms. In the case of calves and colts be - owning affected with Rickets, they appear unthrifty and develop imper- factly. The bones of the legs become softened so that they gradually fiend and become distorted, causing the . animal to be bow-legged and enlarg- ed at the joints, and otherwise un- sightly`ahaped. They are prone to lie down a great deal of the time, and in walking they move stiffly. backbone also becomes crooked in some cases. Young'pigs frequently become affected and, at first, appear to thrive ,poorly and have an abnor- mal appetite. This causes in them a craving for dirt and to keep picking up and chewing pieces of stick and bones. They- soon begin to develop abnormally and disproportionately, while remaining stunted in growth. They become pot bellied and the head enlarges, giving it a bulging appear- ance, with the snout deformed, hence the name "Bullnose” being used. They may also breathe with a snuf- fling sound, while the head remains large. The skin often becomes thick- ened and cracked and gets discolored with dirt, giving a black sooty appearance to white pigs. Sooner or later, the bones of the legs begin to bend and they become deformed. This causes the legs to becorie badly bow- ed and makes them walk very stiff and awkward. Tlie joints become en- larged and the pigs lie down a great deal of the time and, on rising, they keep resting on their knees. The lower ends of the ribs also becueue enlarged and seem to bend inwa.res under the body, At times many of the rickety pigs become trouuled with piles and prolapse of the rec- tum, causing it to protrude as -a red tumor -like mass behind. Finally they become miserably wasted and thin and remain worthless stunted mor- tals of no value. Prevention and Treatment. Another cause or failure to tie is often found. in -the knotter spring which holds: the finger downupon the knotter hook being so loose as nrt td bold the ends of the twine while the knot is pulled .over the billhook, re- sulting in -a band with clean cut ends but no knot, the adjustment through wear or lack of adjustment through, shaking loose of the bolt„holding the twine cutting knife, causing the sev- ering -of the twine before the knotter finger or billhook has closed over it. A bent rusty needle or shaft, or needle, billhook, twine disc, or twine runs . will. cause no end of trouble early in the harvest , through loose, untied or missed sheaves. Pay evettention to Oiling. Oiling the grain binder takes con- siderable time with fifty or more oil holes to keep clear and supplied with .o11. There are bearing surfaces other than oil holes that must receive at- tention also, such as the reel standard, various chains and sprockets, sliding parts of the bind- ing attachment and the bundle car- rier. All bearings subject to heavy friction and speed should be oiled every hourif the binder ie to last as long as a binder should.Every bears lag should receive lubrication at least .twice ,a''day no matter how lit- tle:werk,tiie'bearing., does,, The main- drive.tbea.rltege, the flitpia:11, and the ;sheaf-binditwattachinent reAuire the closesteettentionL.: Stevenson, See), Dept.

FRED LLLERINGTON To prevent the ,occurrence of Rickets, one of the chief essentials is maintaining a proper mode of liv- ing for the mower while pregnant and for the young during early life. This entails rational dieting accord- ing to their needs, combined with comfortable living quarters and w reasonable amount of regular exer- cise and outdoor fife in tine weather. In the case of colts being raised arti- ficially on cows' milk, it should be diluted with about one-third water and sweetened with alittle sugar. In the case of pigs they must recei, suitable diet after being weaned. They should nol be fed exclusively on dry corn, nor on chopped oats composed largely of the hulls, nog entirely on buttermilk. In winter, young pigs should be given a clean, dry, warm, place to sleep in and the bedding should be changed daily. This is particularly essential in the case of late fall and winter titters. The diet should. be suitably balanced and consist of a mixture of ground oats free from hulls, corn meal, ground barley and shorts with a lit- tle salt, chalk ,and charcoal added from time to time. The feed should be given mixed with milk or water as a thick slop. A. little ground oil cake or bene meal and skim milk is also good. As the pigs increase in size the diet can be gradually' changed. They should be allowed plenty of range and pasture In summer. When young pigs are noticed showing a tendency of developing Rickets, the progress of the disease can often be arrested and a complete recovery ob- tained, if taken in time, by changing and 'supplementing their diet with tonics, The diet shouldbe arranged as already described, with the addi- tion of some digester—tankage and bone meal. To thedrink can be add- ed lime water and to the feed a tonic composed of sulphate of iron one part, bicarbonateof ;soda and charcoal four parts: ...mese ingredi- ents are mixed thoroughly together and a spoonful, of the mixture. added to the feed allowance o1 each fig • once or twice a day. In cases of pronounced Rickets....in pigs, where "they become chronic runts, they are not worth treating and should be got rid of. C.,,D,, ;i eceilvray, Principal, Ontario Veterinary College, Guelph.
