The heat causes the oil to be very thin and to run off the bearings freely. This necessitates the frquent application of oil. A heavy grade of engine oil is the best adapted to the motor during the sum mer months. This will cause much less trouble from the formation of carbon deposits due to the leakage of oil past the cylinder rings.—Depart ment of Agricultural Engineering, University of Nebraska. Alfalfa For Colts. Alfalfa makes an excellent pasture for developing young horses. After July 1 blue-grass pasture generally gets pretty short and by turning colts on alfalfa they will have an abundance of nutritious feed for the remainder of the summer. It will be also quite satisfactory to turn work horses on alfalfa from now on. This is especially true where they can be turned out every night. There is no feed quite so cheap as alfalfa in Nebraska, and it materially economizes the cost of pro ducing and maintaining hdrses.—De partment of Animal Husbandry, Uni versity of Nebraska. Beef, Nebraska’s Opportunity. The growing scarcity of meat in the world has produced and probably will maintain a strong demand for beef cattle. Last year-the cattle suitable for beef purposes on the farms of Ne braska were valued at $83,000,000. High priced beef is Nebraska’s oppor tunity. Twelve years of careful ex perimentation at the Agricultural Ex periment Station of Nebraska has con clusively proved that a combination of corn plant and alfalfa will produce beef cheaper than any other feed com bination. The state of Nebraska is well adapted for the growing of both corn and alfalfa. Therefore, it may be said that with the possible ex ception of Kansas and the plains region, Nebraska presents themostfa vorable locality in the United States for the production of beef. Soil Moisture Increases over that of Past Years. The soil is better supplied with moisture than it has been for the past two or three years, according to soil moisture determinations made at the University Farm during the first week in June. Owing to the nature of the precipitation during the past few weeks, a larger per cent has entered the soil of the pastures, grain, and al falfa fields, while in the corn fields there has been more run-off. Previous to the last three weeks, the moisture content of the wheat and alfalfa fields was becoming rather low. During the last two months and a half the wheat had reduced the moisture content almost eight per cent in the upper six feet of soil, the most of this loss being confined to the upper three feet. A similar loss had taken place in alfalfa fields, although it had affect ed the entire six feet of soil. With the recent rains, the moisture content of all the fields has been increased, but early in June it was not as high as it was in the early spring. In the oat and cornfields, where the crop is not far enough advanced to draw heavily upon the soil moisture, threre has been very little change. The recent rains have supplied these fields with all the moisture they will hold through the entire upper six feet of soil. Risky Scouting for Villa. Tilden Citizen: George Savage, one of the Savage aviators of Ewing, passed through here Thursday night from Mexico. He had for some time past been engaged in aerial scouting for the Mexican general Villa and was paid a fancy salary. But two of his companions were captured and shot by some other general and George de cided to fly over the border and make his way to safety on his Nebraska prairie home. A Modern Fable. Once upon a time there was a dog whose delight it was to bark at the moon. He knew nothing discreditable concerning the moon, but felt that he just naturally must show his superior ity. So he yapped and yowled and called it names and made faces at it by the hour. All this caused the other animals great anoyance, and at last they held an indignation meeting. “Something must be done!” was the general opinion. “Let us do it by taking this measly nuisance out to some secluded spot and abating him in a thorough and permanent man ner!” “Stop!” spoke the hog. “Let us not act hastily. I traveled widely in my younger days, appearing in the dime museums all over the land as the justly celebrated educated pig. I have looked this matter up. It is true that the varmint under discussion is an abomination. Still, he is one of the pests to whom all the rest of creation appear to feel compelled to give ear and deference—men call them reform ers, or statesmen, as the case may be. As I understand it, there is no way of stopping his barking at the moon ex cept by paying him to quit. And that, alas! would not give us permanent re lief, for as soon as he had spent our money he would find something else to howl about, and we should have to buy him all over again.” Moral—From this we should learn that the average pest secures im munity from retribution because he has bluffed.—Judge.
