Do You Mix Water
with Gasoline?
No motorist would think of mixing water with gasoline
to make gas go farther. Yet, when the motorist fails to
charge from summer to winter lubricants, he is in a way,
mixing two things that just won’t mix. Sive your car
the protection it demands and it will serve you faithfully
and well. Drive in today and let us give you the lubri-
cants to harmonize with the weather

V. F. Taylor of San Antonio, assist-
ed in the judging of the poultry show
and followed his work with a talk on
poultry production and control of dis-
eases and parasites of poultry.
Taylor urged that chickens be kept
in pens and not allowed to run free
over the farm. Ho recommended the
double pen method whereby green
feed could be kept before the birds
most of the time. He discouraged the
use of shade trees in the poultry yard
as they often harbor disease germs
A well built poultry house is cooler
than trees or bushes.
In speaking of poultry houses. Mr.
Taylor urged that only those adapted
to Texas conditions be considered.
He explained that the dropping pit is
being used instead of the ordinary
dropping boards in poultry houses.
The houses should not be long and
narrow. The following dimensions
were suggested depending on size of
the flock:
10 x 10. 35 birds; 10 x 12, 40 birds;
12 x 14. 55 birds; 16 x 16, 75 birds;
14 x 18, 85 birds; 16 x 20, 105 birds;
20 x 30, 200 birds.
In speaking of turkeys, Mr. Taylor
told of work being done in the I’lain-
view area where the semi-confine-
ment method is being used. Here 14
pound hens and 24 pound toms are
being produced wlthh only a ten per
cent loss, and a profit of $8.00 per lien
is being realized. There all eggs are
hatched in incubators and the hens
average more than forty eggs per
year. He attributed the success of
this method to the semi-confinement
method of handling the birds.
The following is the fattening ra-
tion used:
30 pounds ground yellow corn, 30
pounds peanut or cottonseed meal,
10 pounds wheat bran, 10 pounds
pounds ground oats or maize, 5 pounds
alfalfa meal, 2pounds bone meal, and
34 pound salt.
Oyster shell should be available at
all times. Where milk is fed the bone
meal may be eliminated from the ra-
tion.

VERSATILE FARMERS CHANGE
MACHINES TO FIT TERRACES
Changes to adapt farm machinery
to terraced fields and hillsides have
been made by farmers in all parts of
the country, but particularly in the
western, middle western, and north-
ern states, according to surveys by
Soil Conservation Service engineers.
Among changes made are these;
A Kansas farmer reassembled the
disks on his grain drill in pairs, so
that it leaves the soil in a series of
ridges and furrows.
A farmer in Missouri shortened the
truck on his grain binder and crosses
ten aces more easily.
Some Idaho farmers remove mold-
boards from their plows. Plowing
then stirs the soil, but does not turn
it over, and leaves much of the stub
hie exposed as a guard against wind
and water erosion. Another method
is to replace a plow with a chisel
point forged from the front axle of a
motor car.
Beams on a tractor cultivator were
attached to the frame with an evener
which allowed the shovels to adjust
themselves on terraced land.
A Texas farmer removed the pres-
sure springs from the center of his
disk harrow to allow more flexibility
when working terraced ridges.
More equipment changes are need
ed, a task for farm implement com
panics, says the report. Some of the
present machines are not sufficiently
flexible for terraced land. They do
not adjust themselves to uneven
ground, wide units do not operate
well in terrace channels, and thoBo
with long hitches give trouble in
crossing terraces at right angles.
Depth and height regulating devices
need a greater range of adjustment.
