IME in farm work will be saved by overhauling the implements and machinery. This should tends to disorganize the fixed parts become over, Use machinery: out in the weather; oil holes and grease cups become clogged with gummed oil, dust and trash. All this accumulated matter should be scraped off and the parts wiped down with a rag saturated with kerozene: afterward covered with a coating of grease or oil as a protective measure against the devasting action of rust. To render efficient service and to pre- vent possible accidents these ma- chines should be kept clean, properly adjusted, and run at correct speed. The grain grinder shaft and bear- ings should not be allowed to become gummed up with oil and dust: the burrs or plates should be renewed (@® systematically | when worn. In replacing them see that they are attached so that they do not wobble, and that the sieves are free from rust, chaff, sand and gritty matter. All running parts should be kept well oiled. Every working mechanism of the cutting box should be carefully exam- ined and all trash and gummed oil removed from flywheel shaft, feed - rolls, bearings and gears; guards and shields placed in position and secure- ly fixed; the feed rolls should move freely up and down and the safety devices in working order. Attend to the cutter knives, have them properly ground and correctly adjusted to the flywheel in relation to the cutter bar; if too far the fodder will not be pro- perly cut; if too close to the cutter bar the draft of the machine is in- creased, the knives acting as a brake on the flywheel, dulling both knives and cutter bar. Used with a blower it is important that the proper speed be developed as tne fan can only enough to force air through the pipe at a rate of 9 to 10 thousand feet per minute. Speed is an important factor in operating these machines for efficient service, not -only as to the amount done, but also as to the quality, or the amount of work accomplished, but most manufac- turers state in their catalogues the speed at which the machine should travel. The operator should figure out the size of the pulley to attain the speed required. ~The rule for speeds of pulleys is the diameter of the "driving" pulley multiplied by its speed is equal to the diameter of the "driven" multi- plied by its speed: or DX R == dXr in which "D" is the diameter of the driving pulley multiplied by "R" its speed, and "d" the diameter of the driven pulley multiplied by "r" its speed. If we know three of these items we can easily figure out the fourth, x = ; The driving pulley is the one that The driven pulley is the one that is moved by the: belt. Possibly a farmer may have on hand an engine rated 2 h.p., speed 400 revolutions per minute with an 8-inch pulley. He buys a grinder 'without considering what relation its '8peed bears to that of his engine. When the grinder is hitched up to the engine it does not deliver the capacity expected of it. This promis- cuous buying and want of fore- though in purchasing machinery is responsible for a great deal of trou- ble and dissatisfaction. More at- tention should be given in this re- gard when 'buying additional mach- that the grinder bought is rate to 2,500 R.P.M., 4 inch pulley; capacity per hou: bushels depending on the condition the' grain. : Relating this grinder to the engine, we find, taking theabove formula, that "B8 xR 4o0=d4 x r-8x 400 = 8oo 19 of R.P.M., but the manufacturer's rat- ing calls for 2,000 to 2,500 R.P.M. Hence the grinder is delivering only two-fifths of its rated capacity or something like 1 1-5th bushels per hour. To get the required speed the driving pulley on the engine should be 20 inches in diameter, worked out as follows: DxR 400--=d4 x r2000-- or --=20"' pulley. or the speed of the engine with an 8-inch pulley should be 1,000 R.P.M. worked out thus D8xR=d4 x r2000--45:2% =1000 R.P.M. This method applies also to finding the speed and size of pulleys of the cutting box,--Prof. Jno. Evans, O. A. College, Guelph Something About Egg Circles.

Dear Mr. Editor: fe The 44th annual report of the Hospital for Sick Children, Toronto, shows a notable advance in every department of its service to the suf- fering and erippled youngsters. of this province. The ward accommo- dation has been taxed to its capacity, and the summer annex, the Lake. side Home, was opened for the first time since the outbreak of war. The daily average of eot patients has increased during the year from 192 to 223, including children from practically every county in Ontario. the substantial inerease in the num- ber of patients would alone account for the addition to the charity's debt, which at the close of the fiscal year was $109,000. This debt has become an embarrassing burden. Further increase must threaten impairment of an enviable efficiency. The Hospital is in the forefront of all institutions upon this eentinent devoted to the care of sick children, It cost $335,399 to maintain last year. This great sum not only puts at the service of the children of Ontario all the resources of medical science, but, in addition, provides for a training school for 120 nurses and for unsurpassed clinical facilities for the University students who are | preparing to engage in" 'their pro- fession throughout the province. The income which must be forth- coming to finance this absolutely essential work figures out at seven hundred dollars a day; and, as there is no endowment fund, all but a fraction of that amount has to be derived from individual benevolence, Therefore the Trustees are making a Christmas appeal to every lover of children te foot the bills for some period of time, no matter how short it may be. A minute of mercy costs fifty eents. ge For churches, societies, lodges, etc, who have more ample funds wherewith to assist the youngsters to a fair start in life, the naming of cots is suggested. | A number of memorial. cots have been thus dedi c honor of the overseas ser- vice 'of fellow-members. This pri vilege 1s extended in recognition of gifts of $2,000 to the Main Hospital or $500 to the Lakeside Home, which ~ can be paid in annual instalments it 50 desired. : Literature, ilmstrative branches of the past year's work, to- gether with any other information desired, will be application to the Seeretary, Hospital for Sick Children, Coll street, Toronto.
