HAS A WAGON 52 YEARS OLD.
In the current Issue of Farm and
r .'reside a contributor telle aa fol-
low about a wagon be Is using which
is Bfty-two yeara old:
"la 1863 a wagon manufacturer In
Ohio made a farm wagon of tbe old
high-wheel type. We bought this
wagon probably fifteen years after-
wards after It bad been put through
the usual farm hauling.
"Today we are using the same
wagon except that with tbe advent
of atone roads we had the spokes
shortened and wide tires put on.
"Now you wonder how this could
be In service so long especially when
you see a lot of wagons In the Junk
pile after ten or fifteen yeara of aenr-;
Ice.
"The first owner cared for It well.
We have always kept It In the shed
when not In use except for a couple
of months each aummer. When a
place In a spoke showed signs of rot-
ting we cleaned It out and covered
the place with good paint. About
every seven years It has been well
painted with good oil paint. When
a bolt loosened we tightened It or re-
placed It at once.
"And lastly the axles have never i
been allowed to run dry."

And clear the way for human

To greater things than men have

If I had time!
If I had time
I'd think great thoughts
And dose tho call on human

If I had time!
It I had time-
Put what's the use?
I'd banish trouble and nluse

In the following extracta taken from
the article some of the facts are pre-
aented :
"In the single month of January
1909 over 71 lnchea of rain fell at
Helen Mine Cal. Rainfalls of over
10 Inches In one day have also oc-
curred occasionally In the LVlted
States. An Inch of rainfall la equiva-
lent to 113 tons of water per acre or
nearly 1000 barrels.
"The Influence of rainfall on aheep
raising la remarkable. In Australia
where the annual ralnfal la from 8 to
10 lnchea they can graze about 9
sheep per square mile. With 12
inches of rainfall the aame area will
support 96 sheep; and with 20 Inches
of rainfall 610 sheep.
"These figures are furnished by J.
W. Smith an Ohio weather observer
who says also that for every Increase
of rainfall during July In Ohio amount
Ing to one Inch the increase In the
value of corn alone amounts to over
J2.000.000."
