Well-Train- (Pnpand Specially by the United State Department of Agriculture.) The use of derating graders la sometimes desirable In the construction of earth roads. The essential features of this machine are a plow with a heavy moldboard, an elevating belt, a suitable frame for supporting the plow and belt, and driving and adjusting mechanisms for operating the belt and controlling the work. The plow loosens the material and throws It onto the belt, which conveys and deposits It either in the roadbed or wagons. Elevating graders are adapted especially to building up embankments with material excavated from shallow borrow ditches along each side of the road. They also may be used to In excavating long, shallow, through cuts and loading the material thus excavated Into wagons for use In building up embankments at other points. The latter use, however. Is restricted to situations where there Is sufficient space to operate the grader and at the same time afford passageway for the teams and wagons to fol- - ' tlvely largo volume of material be' moved from excavation to embankment within a distance of only a few hundred feet Figure 1 shows a typical cross section for an earth road,' where the grading machine hardly, could be used advantageously except, for finishing the road surface. To accomplish work of this kind economically, the devices for loosening, load--! lng and hauling the material must all1 be adapted to turning around quickly! In a small space and, not Infrequently,! must be such as to be handled readily' over very rough ground. Such Implements as wagons, wheeled scrapers, drag scrapers and plows therefore should form a part of the equipment on practically all g projects. The choice of proper Implements tq employ In moving material from excavation to embankment depends, first,! on the nature and quantity of the material to be moved, and, second, on' the length-o- f haul. In general, where the material consists of earth It Is loosened with plows and the economical method of hauling Is fixed by the haul length about as follows: For lengths of haul not exceeding ISO feet, drag scrapers ; for lengths of haul between 150 feet and 000 feet, wheeled scrapers; for lengths of haul above 000 feet, wagons. Where the materia) consists of solid rock It must be loosened by drilling and blasting and practically always la hauled In wagons or carts, regardless of the haul length. Types of Plows Used. Two types of plows commonly are used In road grading. One Is the type; generally used for loosening ordinary soils, while the other Is used for breaking up hardpun, lode road surfaces and. other earth unusually difficult to loosen. Either type Is drawn by four road-gradin- . IS SIMPLE - UTAH. ORGANDIE FROCK Paris as Demi-Toilett- IS e."

Operating Elevating Grader. It la customary to employ a traction engine for operating the elevating grader, though teams are used sometimes. Ordinarily, the machine may be operated successfully either with a power tractor or with 25-hor- well-traine, 12 horses. at which earth can be d exThe rate cavated with an elevating grader Is relatively very high when conditions are favorable and the grader can be kept moving. But there are a number of rather complicated parts about such a machine which sometimes get ont of order, and the work also la usually hampered by many unforeseen contingencies, such as bogging" of the wheels, choking of the plow or the elevator belt, occurrence of buried stumps or stones In the excavation, etc. For these reasons the actual capacity of elevating graders, considered over a long period, seldom Is more the or than about rated capacity, and where the material la loaded Into wagons as it Is excavated the actual capacity of the machine may be reduced still further. Elevating graders of the slee used ordinarily In road work have a rated capacity of about 100 cubic yards per hour. Use of Scrapers, Wagon, Etc. To grade a road of any considerable length, no matter where it is located, usually will require a considerable amount of work with devices other than the grading machine and elevatas ing grader. The latter machine, ecopreviously explained, may be very nomical for special conditions to which they are adapted. But these special conditions seldom prevail for short more than comparatively stretchw of road without sections In- relatervening which require that a one-thir- d one-lia- lf horses, or In some cases by traction engine, und la operated by three men. Including the driver. Such plows average about 150 pounds in weight and sell at an average price of from $12 to $18, but heavier plows of this type range in cost up to about $30. With average soil conditions they may be made to turn a furrow about 7 or 8 Inches deep and from 8 to 10 inches wide. The hard pan plows vary considerably In weight and selling price but cost more than the turn plows One reason for the higher cost Is that the points must be made of a very high grade of steel In order to be durable. Drag scrapers are made In 1 horse and glees, which have respective rated capacities of 3, 5 and 7 cubic feet Drag scrapers have an average weight when empty, of from 75 to 100 pounds, and an ac-- tual capacity of about the rated capacity. The price, f. o. b. factory, averages from $4 to $6 per three-fourth- s scraper. In operating drag scrapers the drivers also may load and empty the scraper, but frequently It Is economical to provide additional laborers for this purpose. With a haul length of 100 feet and the teams moving steadily, one laborer should be able to load or empty and spread the material for about three scrapers. For scraper work .to be effective the material to be excavated must be thoroughly loosened by the plows and should be free from large roots or stones. Where such obstructions occur time Is saved by having them removed by hand during the process of plowing. Keep Vermin Away. To keep lice away from the sitting hens, dust the nest and the hen with sulphur. It will not hurt the eggs In the least, but no lice will stay near. Efforts Every Farmer Must Put Forth No More Hogs to Produce Chance of Excess. If we expect to continue to provide meat to foreign peoples ms well as our own people, every farmer must put forth the best effort to produce more upon hogs. Hogs can be kept profitablyfound many farms where they are not raise today.

In order to obtain the very highest quality of sweet corn It Is necessary that the corn be delivered Into the hands of the consumer In a very few hours after harvesting. Sweet corn will lose 50 per cent of Its sweetness In 12 hours. Corn pulled In the evening, as Is the case with most of the marketed products, and placed on sale the next day cannot compare In quality with similar corn harvested In the morning and sold to the consumer before noon. Corn which most; by forced circumstances, be harvested In the evening should be handled In such a way as to avoid large piles. Alfalfa or Rye.
