Discarded Mower Is
Easily Put in Shape
Little Time and Money W ill
P ut M achine in Order.
Many times an old mower la di»,
carded as worn out when a little time
and money spent In replacing worn
parts aud adjusting the machine would

pointed out by It. L Shawl of the farm
mechanics department, college of agri-
culture, University o f Illinois. Mower
troubles can be classed under three
main heads, namely: heavy draft, side
draft and uneven or ragged stubble.
Heavy draft is caused from lack of
lubrication, dull sickle, wear and side
draft due to Improper adjustment of
the cutter bar parts. The cutter bar
with the sickle and other cutting parts
is the chief source of trouble. Side
draft is due to a dragging back on the
cutter bar of the uncut hay or grass
and Insufficient tension on the sup
porting spring to the cutter bar. 3
dull sickle In a properly adjusted cut
ter bar w ill not give side draft.
“ In adjusting the cutter bar parts
see that the guards are all in line. A
hammer may be used to drive the
guards back in line. The ledger plates
must be held in place tightly and the
edges must be sharp. The clips must
hold the sickle sections down against
the ledger plate so that the cutting
w ill be done without chewing the
stalks. The sickle sections should al
ways center in the guards at the end
of each stroke.
“ Sickle breaking is a trouble expe
rienced in some mowers and Is usually
due to the worn condition of the wear
ing plates, clips and guides that hold
the sickle head in place. Adjustments
fo r taking up this wear are provided
on all mowers.’’

* Ways to Go Broke
Listed for Farm er
Ten ways for a man to go
broke farming have been sug
gested by the agricultural col
lege at the University of Ten
nessee. Here they are:
1. Grow only one crop,
2. Keep no live stock.
3. Regard chickens and
garden as nuisances.
4. Take everything from the
soil and return nothing.
5. Don't stop gullies or grow
cover crops—let the topsoil
wash away, then you w ill have
“ bottom” land.
6. Don't plan your farm
operations.
I t ’s hard work
thinking—trust to luck.
7. Regard your woodland as
yon would a coal mine: cut
every tree, sell the timber, and
wear the cleured land out cul
tivating It In corn.
8. Hold fast to the idea that
the methods of farming em
ployed by your grandfather are
good enough for you.
0. Be independent—don't Join
with your neighbors in any
form of co-operation.
10. Slortgage your farm fer
every dollur it w ill stand to
buy things you would have
cash to buy i f you followed a
good system of farming.
