Believes the Spreader Doubles the Value of Manure. Messrs. Editors: Last- spring I bought of Wm. Galloway & Co., of Waterloo, Iowa, one No. 2 wagon-box spreader and spread seventy-five loads of manure. My first test was with rough cow-pen manure, consist ing of corn stalks, straw, etc. My second with tobacco stalks, and my third with corn cobs. It did the-work O. K. I ' am satisfied that manure Sv N I milium""' i w"V" i - : thus spread is worth double that spread the old way, as it goes so much further. The spreader is made to stand rough usage, and with proper care will last a life-time. Any farmer that once uses them will never be without one. Last spring I spread thirty loads of rough cow-pen ! manure on two acres and doubled the yield of former, years this was for corn. With deep break ing, shallow and frequent cultiva tion and a spreader to spread all manure as made, the South should raise all the grain needed. L. B. SCOTT. Person Co., N. C. Farm Machinery Notes. Don't let the machinery cry for oil. O'Brien says: "Oil is the cheapest machinery we have." If you false grain, why not own a fanning mill? It will pay for itself in one season. There is always some grain that needs cleaning or frmdimr before it is ready for the market or for seeding purposes, and the fanning milLIs the machine that will put it in condition. - Tt is a wise Dlan to look over the farm machinery some spare day right now to see what repairs are need ed; then order them at once and put them on the machines needing them. If this is done, there will be-no "rush" repair orders to send in-just as the planter or binder season comes on. ' The gasoline engine requires about one pint of gasoline for each horse power per hour, or one gallon for each horse-power for eight hours1 running. Thus, a 2 -horse-power en gine 'will use about two gallons in eight hours. Figuring gasoline at 15 - cents pej gallon, this engine could be run eight hours for 30 cents' worth of gasoline. H. M.
