addre communication to agronsnvt 73 adelaide st west toronto cars and adjustment of colters the colter has much more to do with the proper operation of a gang plow than is generally supposed it affects more than its main purpose of cutting off the side of the furrow slice so that the shin of the moldboard will not have to tear its way through the ground consequently permitting the plow to do a nice smooth job and ma terially lightening the draft one of the marks of a poor job of plowing is unevenness or where the furrows made the same round can not always be plainly distinguished some times this is because the plow is not running level at other times one bottom is a little too high or low due to variation in the shape of the beams or tho front furrow wheel is regular ly run against the furrow bank when it is supposed to run at least two inches away from it but the most common fault is that the operator for gets that each bottom turns over the soil that the colter allots it no more and no less they cannot be set in a haphazard manner but exactly the same with respect to each bottom ex cept for the one instance which i will mention later practically all plow instructions give threequarters of an inch as the proper distance to set the colter away from the shin of the moldboard this insures a clean furrow wall and the minimum friction on the landside there is often difficulty in determin ing this distance after it is known to be correct the following method is commonly used by manufacturers plow experts when getting a plow ready to enter a competitive demon stration take a planed fence board three feet long and six inches wide it will be nearly threequarters of an inch thick layjt against the land- side so that it extends forward be yond the point of the share and raised just enough above the point so that it lies flat against the landside hold in this position by placing the right foot against it now adjust the colter so that its blade lies flat against the out side of the board do this with each bottom in turn and you will have no variation as far as the colters are con cerned a puzzling problem sometime comes up in the case of a three plow

is probably safe to state that most fruit juices contain appre ciable amounts of vitamin b it is likewise probably true that nuts are valuable sources of this vitamin in asmuch as all nuts that have

limes oranges and fresh fruits were curative in scurvy it has only been in recent years that we have understood that this curative effect was due to vitamin c while oranges have been used for a number of years in the treat ment of infantile scurvy it is only recently that it has become the com mon practice to supply orange juice to infants as part of the regular feeding practice more recently it has been discovered that tomato juice is prac tically equal to the juice of the orange will generally be found in the fact that the middle bottom follows the right drive wheel and because the dirt loos ened by the grouters rolls into the furrow leaving the middle furrow slice apparently lower than the others the remedy is to set the middle colter a trifle farther out in sod plowing the colters should be set deep enough to cut off most of the roots but not deep enough to in terfere with the penetration of the plow in stubble plowing there is no necessity of running them more than three inches deep even in deep plow ing in cornstalk ground especially the stalks and other trash will not be cut satisfactorily when the colters are set so deep that they will simply push the trash ahead instead of running over and cutting through it the colter axle should he directly above or a trifle back of the point of the share the colter blades must be sharpened from time to time to give best results it is well to remember that it is cheap er and better to pay the cost of sharp ening the shares and colters than to pay for the fuel necessary to pull dull tools through the ground britain

the yeast is soft then it is made into a soft batter with cooked potatoes and flour and allowed to raise then it is stiffened with cornmeai until crumbly and spread out in the sun to dry when it is thoroughly dry it may be sacked and stored for use and will keep indefinitely if placed in a dry place where it will not mold for feeding baby chicks goslings ducks or turkeys it may either be
