by Farm Machinery. Pioneer
Days Recalled in Rotary Address
The vast changes that have been
effected in farming through the use
of labour-saving implements and the
part that modern farm machinery is
playing, in reducing the farmer's
costs of production, were the high-
lights in an address on "The New Era

ary Club of Toronto, by 'John Martin
of •the Massey -Harris Contpany.
. Mr. Martin, by striking contrasts
of 'production figures, brought home
to his audience the importance of
agriculture in Canada, showing that
the value of the ,fodder crops of Can-
ada for 11937 amounted to $138,-
000,001 -whereas that for the total
gold production of ,Canada, for the
same year, was $114'3;8100,000, or "prac-
tically the same amount for fodder -
just feed for horses end cattle, as for
the gold production of Canada", and
that "the dairy :production of Ontario
and Quebec' alone was $1137,000,000 or
$114,8100,000 more than 'for ,bite total
gold production of Canada."
"The ;story of the development of

Removes Stoops Froth Farming
"One of the oldest callings," the
speakerreminded his audience, ",farm-
in:g had seen few changes 'down
through ,the ages :until the conning of
mechanical aids, (Now changes take
place with such rapidity that we do
not stop to consider the transforma-
tion that has taken place." He found
a ready means of recalling what
farming meant in the pre -machine
days by reference to those famous
pictures of the great French artist,
Millet, which still adore$ the walls of
many homes -"The Angelus," "The
Gleaners," and "The Man with the
Hoe," and pointed out that they all
had one significant characteristic and
that was the bent hacks of the people
working in the field.
The full imporb of -"The Pfau
with the Hoe" he brought home with
dramatic force in the few lines he
quoted from Edwin Markham's now
fatuous poem in which he calls on -
"Masters, Lords and Rulers of all
Lands to straighten up this shape,"
but Mr, Martin addled "each step in
the emancipating of the farmer. from

tion of some new labor-saving mach-
ine, and thus modern farm machinery

Lords and Rulers of all lands to

Farm Production Costs Lowered
"Even With Canadian ,farming on
a higher standing than it had ever
been here or in any other .part of the
world, it still had great problems
confronting it, such as the difficulties
of Western Canada with soil -drifting,
rust and .grasshoppers; the 'low price
that prevailed for some 'of its prod-
ucts the disparity of :farm ,product
prices with the prices of manufac-
tured products generally, and the
problem •af dwindling export markets
for wheat and its consequ•eat low
price."
"But here again," the speaker said,
"the agricultural engineer comes to
the aid of bhe farmer and cited the
development of the One -Way -Disc
Seeder which combining the various
operations of tillage and seeding all in
one avoided too much over cultivation
of the soil and left it in a matted con-
dition which successfully resisted soil -
blowing and at the same time cut the
cost of tillage and "seeding by at
least 40%,
"In the great need for concentrat-
ing on lower 'cost of production the
agricultural engineer had effected an
adaptation of the combine method of
harvesting in the new small power -
take -off combines which brought the
advantages of this most economical
method of harvesting within the
scope of the farmer of smaller acre-
ages. A one man outfit," Mr. Martin
said, "farmers 'last year told hits that
their only out of pocket expense for
operation was the cost of gas and oil
which amounted to What It would
have ,cast "far the price of hinder -
twine alone, 11 they had used the
'binder, 'thresher Method, saving The
cost of stockers and 'threshing crews,

'Tractors, too,•had shown as great

"Agricultural engineering was
working hand in hand with the far-

and in lowering the costs of produc-

HANDS AND FEET
No woman should neglect her
hands mut fMet, although they ame
alae! too often forgotten. Well -kelt
hands are so lovely, whilst a ::toe
rare of the feet repays 1.1A in adie•i
cont fort.
Lock after your nails reat''ar':,
Use a w ext' base underneath your
varnish. This protects' the nail:
and keeps them from splitting ant
drying out.
Give your hands and wrists a week-
ly dip in warns olive oil. Keep your
hands as clean as possible. Wash
theist with paltnolive soap. then rub
therm well with Italian halm. The
more often you use lotion on the
hands, the smoother and whiter
they'll 'become.
This little exercise will keep your
wrists supple: place elbows, on a low
table, relax wrists and fingers and,
wtihout moving elbows, describe
circles with yopr hands. 'Bend hands
backward as far as possible. then for-
ward. Repeat 115 times.
Tired feet bring worried lines to

erly fitting footwear.
Many readers ask me how to dis-
pose of ,corns; The quickest and most
effective method is to get a good corn

To relieve tired feet, nub them with
