Few farmers have a definite idea of the total amount of. money invested In farm machinery. If you were to ask John Smith how much his farm machinery was worth he would be un able to answer you. He would proba bly tell you that the different imple ments cost so much ana" that there were a number of repairs for several of these. That these implements were so many years old, and were probably worth only about halt of what they were at first Possibly he had bought some of these second-hand, and had never kept any record of the money Invested in farm machinery.1" Farming being a business, should be run on business principles, if one is to know .where he is making or losing money. So with the machinery- the first cost and repairs should be re corded and a strict account kept of all labors Involved in the up-keep of the different farm machines. This can only be done by regular business meth ods. The operator of the small farm may feel that this is not important, and fronf his point of view it may not be. Yet actual experience shows that un less some records are kept in operating-a farm it is extremely difficult to will furnish the necessary information, as, "One machine bolt 2 inches by Inches." This, with others which may be required, may be purchased in one order, which will probably result in a saving of one-half. While this system may seem at first thought somewhat cumbersome, a glance at the suggested- sheet .will show that it wil in the end save time and money, and at the same time dis pense with worry and aggravation at a very busy season of the year. When the repairs and special bolts have arrived, take them with an extra supply of bolts, nuts and split cot ters and a kit of tools. Proceed with the work as occasion permits, and in a -short time all of the home work is oompleted. The work usually done at the village shop should be noted and the, list left in a convenient place so that no extra time is required in lo cating it and arranging for the work. Some farms are fortunate enough to have their own shop, and where such conditions exist it is not necessary to take the plow shares to the village for sharpening but this and many oth er kinds of such work can be done at iome. The large farms having great- OZQAH1ZZ SI2XZI0H8 CLOT. jCcst Ren e wed 44 if to tyaqon. JuJy to Para hased Dec Q Broken Reaci ?

Many farmers, advanced in age1 deplore the fact that Demonstration work did not begin several decades ago so that they might live long enough to enjoy the fruits of its teaching, thereby reaping the bene fits of more bountiful crops produced at a minimum cost of cash and labor. Many farmers who have been in the work one year state that as success ful farmers they are only one year old. ! The work is based upon sound, well tried and essential principles, such as a deep soil, plenty of humus, im proved seed, intensive cultivation, ro tation of crops, etc. rhat the work is accomplishing the purpose for which it was designed, is shown in a number of ways. For instance the average yield of corn in North Car olina, for the past forty years lias been a little les sthan fifteen bushels per acre. The yields under demon stration methods were as follows: In 1908, 37 bushels per acre; in 1909, 40 bushels per acre, and in 1910 (4,- 301 acres) 43 bushels per acre. The records for 1911 are not complete yet, but will probably be greater than for 1910, notwithstanding the fact that a severe drought cut off the yield through the central part of the State. The demonstration work stands for the growing on the farm everything needed there in the way of home sup plies. The careful records kept in the work show that these can be grown for very much les sthan market prices. The matter, therefore, is an economic one. The organization in North Caroli na, at present, consists of a State agent, two district agents, fifty-one local agents and over three thousand fanners conducting demonstration plats averaging three acres eaeh. The two largest demonstrations the past season were one of forty acres of corn that produced fifty bushels per acre and one of a hundred acres j&f ii. XT i. 1- 1 T ' 1 cm tun mat grew a Daie ana a quart er oi cotton per acre. The demonstra tors are supervised by the local agents who in turn are instructed by district and State agents. The demonstration wark has hear ty co operation with the A. and M. College, the Farmers' Union and otfi er progressive organizations. The State Department of Agriculture is now co-operating financially nad oth erwise. Local aid for the work for. the present season amounts to $15.- 000. This shows that the people are interested in the work. Taken as a whole the outlook is very bright for reaching and influenc ing in a practical way the mass of tarmers in the State.

"hauling the machinery during the win '''ter season, when farm work is some-, what slack. ' Many farmers make a practice of making some repairs dur ing the winter, but there is a greater majority who never feel that it is worth while to spend time to do such , work, but believe they will have time enougli in the spring or before it is time to use the machine again. As a ordered should be for sickle sections, heads and pitmansl for the mowersl Rivets, wearing plates, ledger plates, guards, etc., or any such list as seems necessary to prepare for the neces sary farm machines. Any one who Is it all interested in farm machinery should be able to devise some plan which would greatly, facilitate the rule, the work is not done until the aandling and repairing of the farm ma machine or implement should be In shinery. the field, which ought not to be the case. The repairing, to be done at the least expense and loss of time should be done in the winter, or at least most of it. There are some im plements that one might find difficult to repair, especially lin some of the machinery sheds which are found on farms. With a good machinery shed and a work shop at one end where a stove could be set up to take the chill from the air, this work might be handled very nicely with little if any discom fiture, even in the coldest weather. There will be a great many stormy days when little if any work can be done out of doors, when the work in the shop can be very satisfactorily carried on. Where the repairs cannot be readily put in the respective places, cards should be attached to the bro ken part and everything put in read iness for the time when the machine Is taken from the shed. I am now thinking of the grain harvester, which is frequently behind many of the smaller machines, making It rather difficult to get at for repairing. In the case of the grain and corn har vester a good plan to follow is to make a note of such parts as show severe wear and order these parts for 'the coming season. A "want book" and a box of ship ping tags should be -a part of the equipment of the farm office. In the book should be made a. notation of the worn or broken part, and with it the tetter and number, thus: . "For the grain harvester, binder driver dog H. 550." . ... ; . A shipping tag with letter and num should then be attached to the Dart to assist in quickly locating When r . . . ' rm. repairs are to do put in piace. mo same holds true with, reference to bolts. When' housing the machinery you may not have the) proper bolts on tiand, but the "want book" and tags To insur the greatest efficiency Df plow, cultivators and all such im plements, it is a good plan to cover Jhe face of the moldboards and. shov sls with a good grade of heavy ma shine oil or a fair grade of hard oil. This treatment will keep the wearing 3urfaces free from rust, so that the 3xtra work of scouring these imple ments in the spring will be done away with. To get the greatest returns for money invested in farm implements Dne must have as few delays as pos sible. In keeping before you the first cost ind repairs of the different farm im plements, a few cards as here shown will be of great help. In this way you :an quickly find how much your wag jn, mower, or any implement has cost ince it was purchased. The deprecia tion can also be more quickly calcu lated, and in many ways this will as sist in determining the gross earnings if the farm each year. This card sys tem might be carried still further by id ding to it a double column at the right, the extra column showing the imount of work or the value of the work done with each implement. This s shown on card describing gang ?low. The scheme described here is not sntlrely new, as some fanners are ising methods which in some ways ire similar, but the card system and lay book are much handier and more economical. A Talk With Mr. Durham. Charlotte Chronicle. It was very much of a pleasure to have a brief talk last night with Rev. Plafo T. Durham. He is perhaps clos er to the editorial fraternity than any other preacher in the State, and the iraternity is close to him. Mr. Dur ham is a man of broad ideas and lib eral views, and while he makes no untoward departure irom his calling, he takes more than a passing . inter: est in the events of the day. He thinks with a good many other people that Roosevelt, as the Republican nominee, wrould prove a dangerous man for the Democratic party. Roose velt, he thinks, has the remarkable faculty of holding both the support of H all street and the common people who rail against Wall street. Oppos ing him, Mr. Durham would like to see Harmon for President, and Un dewood for Vice President. That would be a cracking good ticket, but we fear the Democrats will not have sense enough to put it in the field.: Mr. Durham is of the opinion that if Underwood does not lead the Demo ocratie ticket he will go on for sec ond place. Underwood will go into the convention witn such strong support as to demand his recognition for sec ond place, if not for the first place. Washington. X. C Feb. 23. A SalUbary ipt, 29th, ro arge and enthusiastic g-s the ring of prominent and representative eiUxen of Washington was bld in the city hall last evening for the purpose of organizing a F. M.

Al though the weather was mrlmntr quite a large crowd was present, to gether with the Washington concert band and the meting was most en thusiastic. The meeting was presid ed over by Mr. L. C. Warren who, after calling order, in a bnef speech stated the object of the meetinjr, and Tayloe; vice president, L. C. Warren and secretary, C. L. Payne. The club invited speeches from the audience. Short, but stirring and enthusiastic speeches were made by Capt. George II. Hill, Joseph F. Xayloe, Dr. J. C. Rodman and others strongly advocat ing Senator Simmons for re-election and reviewing his record in the Sen atate during: the time that he has held office, and calling on the voters of Washington and Beaufort eountv for their support in the coming election. After the speeches the club was rraally organized and the following officers elected: President. Joseph F. Tayloe; vice president; li. C. Warren and seeretarv, C. L. Pavne. The club was then declared open for member ship and about three hundred mem bers joined and expressed their will ingness to support Senator Simmons and use their efforts and influence to help him throughout the cam paign. One Day's Auto and Trolley Acci dents in New York. New York World. 29th. I Automobiles killed two and mor tally injured two others and trolley :its killed two in and near New ork yesterday. A little Brooklyn girl and several companions were roller skating in front of her home, when she was run down by an automobile and so badly injured that death soon followed. William G. Ziek, a retired broker, was run down in Broadway at One Hundred and Third street. He died iq the hospital. A New Rochelle policeman at tempted to arrest a chauffeur who trieel to drive his ear through a crowd of school children. He was hurled ten feet on his head and will probably die. Several small boys were racing up Lexington avenue after school when one of them was knocked down by a touring car at Fifty-seventh street. His skull was fractured. A man became confused in the maze of traffic in Sixth avenue near Fifteenth street and got in the path of a trolley car. He was taken dead from under the fender. A little Mont elair, N. J., girl and her small brother were riding their bicycles o n the street car tracks when a car run them down. The boy escaped hurt by leaning from his wheel, but the girl ran into and was fhmir under the wheel. A call meeting of the North Car- olina Claris of th Reformed ehurcb, thi city, .this Afternoon.
