"OhWiHU'ea by the United State* Pefttrttosai ot Agriculture.) Principal Items of cost in operating a tractor, in order of their relative Importance, are depreciation, 'fuel, repairs and upkeep, interest and lubricating oil, according to L. A. Rfeynoldsoa and H. R. Tolley of the United States Department of Agriculture. Other costs making up tlte total cost are: Labor in repairing and attendlngsthe tractor, housing, grease, taxes and insurance. These conclusions are the results of Investigations concerning tractor costs which the Department of Agriculture has conducted among tractor owners at various times aad which have been brought together and are presented In Farmers' Bulletin 1297, "Cost of Using Tractors on Corn- Bait Farms." " First Coot of Tractor. Granting that any tractor win do the work for which it is made, first cost is stated to be the item which demands greatest consideration on the part of the purchaser. This Item depends on the size, type and malie of machine and Should indicate fairly well the quality. To determine depreciation charges on a tractor w hether by the day or year, first cost is divided by the total useful life in years, or the days of work done during the life of the machine. The annual cost for interest on a tractor is a fixed charge for each year of life. The bulletin gives a simple formula for figuring the Interest on a tractor costing any ainount and giving different numbers of years' service. Keep Down Repair Expense. To keep repair expense at a minimum, the farmer is advised to do his own repairing and overhauling so far as possible. The sise of a machine, the operation, and above all, the operator, are said to govern to a large extent the quantities of fuel and oil which are dally required. The wide variation In the amount of fuel and oil used p<er day by different sized tractors is counterbalanced by the larger or smaller amounts of work done by the different slxes, the bulletin states. "Owners and prospective Owners should not place too much weight on the average performance of tractor*," the authors of the bulletin advise, pointing out that "an average figure represents various results, some of which may be normal, and some either above or below normal. It should be the object of every farmer operating a tractor to strive to excel any result given as an average figure whether it represents life, cost of operation or days of use." Suggestions for reducing the cost of using tractors Include the acquiring of ability to operate tractors, saving time, and combining Implements and operation.

Process COVERING FOR POTATO PATCH Why Purebreds Pay Just how much better, from the actual dollars and cents standpoint, are purebreds than common animals? Thousands of formers have pondered the question. In a study covering 55,000 head of breeding stock In various parts of the United States, the federal Department of Agriculture finds purebreds worth forty cents above par or common. And why can th? farmer get as large a return with ten pure breds as with fourteen dunghills? The pur«ibred makes better use of the feed, the meat if - of better quality and brings a higher price, there is less offal when the animal Is dressed and the young have a greate. selling value. Since it takes fewer animals to return the same income, the owner has less money tied up in housing space and labor, hence his annual overhead charge Is less per head. >»» •» » Cow Manure la Best, as It Will Not Burn Crop If Weather Is Dry and Hot in Spring. • la the spring cover the potato ground with good cow manure, not horse manure, as it will burn the crop if the weather is dry and hot, then disk the ground good and deep.

This means that our garden will have a much greater value to us and cost no more labor, for we have to keep garden soil clean or'pay the price in extra work later. Fall Freshening Favored.

TERM FOR POLITICAL CUNNING Italian Qenlus Gave Name to What Might 8s Called Unscrupulous i • Statesmanship. "Machiavellian" Is a term for political cunning, duplicity or bad faith, because Nlceolo Machlavelll, an Italian statesman and historian, held as one of his principles that any means, however lawless or unscrupulous, might be Justifiably employed by a ruler In order to maintain a strong central government. He produced smong other works a treatise on government called "The Prince," the principles of which have gained for him a notoriety as wide as the civilised world. Briefly, MachlavelU's political doctrines maintained a Justification of the means by the end. The ruler or prince was to retain and Hutment his power; and to do so he might be an adept at misleading his "opponents and getting rid of them. The Interests of the state, represented by the ruler, were held to be above all laws or virtues, and the despotism of the prince waa to bo maintained by cunning and unrestrained by morality. SAME Overwhelming Proof That Fingerprints Undergo No Change During Lifetime of Individual. The finger print Is a scieutlfic method of identification. A movement Is afoot In Michigan for a state-wide registration system under \vhlc^ every one would be finger-printed. It Is also plsnned by the government to establish a central bureau of Identification with a nationul registration. It Is deduced that prints are more permanent than the body itself, as physiologists tell us that the tissues of the entire body change once In about seven years, but whorls, curves and lines of the papilla always are renewed In con* formity wjth the lines of childhood. After an attack of scarlet fever the cuticle peeled off of a child's fingers As au experiment prints were made. They were found to be Just the same as those mhde before the sickness. A man chanced to burn his fingers. They were badly blistered. After the blisters broke and the outer layer of the skill came off he made finger-prints each day^untll the fingers were completely healed. The ridges grew gradually until they made the same sharp prlnta that they bad made before the accident. Betwixt and Between. "These here schoolmarms don't know their own minds!
