There is no particular advantage in having a lot of new machinery if the old will do the work, but when the time comes that the old does not serve as well as something of later make, or when the old is too unreliable to place dependence upon it, there is no economy in keeping it. In fact, the only purpose of any farm machine is to save time for the farmer, and when a machine gets discrepit enough to take his time instead of conserving it, it is too costly to keep.

For instance, putting up hay is a job that must be done on time if the best quality and quantity is to be obtained.

Scale on House Plants. Scale insects may be planning an attack on your favorite Rubber Plant, ferns or any other sturdy plants you may have in your home. Scale insects will be found along the branches and on the under side of the leaves, as shown in the above Garden-Graph. They are usually quite noticeable along the veins of the leaf. Study the Garden-Graph carefully and then examine your house plants to see if they are infested.

Scrub any infected plant with a mixture of one-fourth ounce of whale oil soap dissolved in a quart of water. Scrub the foliage and branches until the scale loosens and falls off. After this treatment give the plant a cold water bath to clean the whale oil solution out of its pores. Wall Street Briefs New York.
