'arm the carburetor needle valve on some of the tractors gave a fuel saving of as much as 10 gallons for each day. Improper adjustment of the carburetor was the most common cause found for high fuel consumption. Adjusting the governor gave as much as a 20 per cent increase in the maximum power of some tractors operating under governor control, and more than doubled the power available at rated motor speed under governor control. Grinding the valves resulted in a third power, yet the fuel consumption was decreased nearly 10 per cent at the same power output in the case of a tractor with the valves in poor repair when brought to the laboratory. Milk, Natural Greens Bolster Egg Yield summer weather has caused your birds' appetites to wane, revive them with green feed and milk, L. M. Black, extension poultryman at the New Jersey college of agriculture, Rutgers university, advises flock owners. "Toward the end of the production year, layers often begin to lose interest in the standard rations," Black says. "Hot weather also tends to reduce feed consumption and lowered egg yields often result. To counteract these effects, wise poultrymen feed supplementary materials to whet their birds' appetites, bolster depleted stores of vitamins and provide protein to stimulate egg proIf hot ' Canadian tank division, which includes many U.

Depth of foundation should be 12 inches to as much as 36 inches to protect against leaning and undermining by water, rodents and livestock. Fifteen to 18 inches above the ground is a good height for foundations. Small and medium-size- d bins are often put on foundations such as of stone or concrete blocks. Floors and joists should be deg signed according to tables of capacity (such as found in the U. S. department of agriculture bulletin, Wheat Storage in the Granary) and the materials should be free of bad effects and termite damage. Tight floors are necessary to keep in gasses during fumigation. Concrete floors in bins for longtime storage need to be at least eight inches above the ground with hollow tile or coarse gravel underneath. It is a good plan to cover concrete floors with moisture-proo- f kraft paper or loose boards or to paint them with two coats of paint. Bin walls can be made of various materials such as boards, plywood, metal or masonry, but must be strong enough to resist bursting pressure. Sometimes added strength is provided by wire or rod cross-tieWalls must be tight to keep out moisture and to make fumigation feasible. asphalt-aluminu- t mm hmjm iws line and lazy daisy, and a border of color and scallops oi wmie no ish the spread, By E.
