However, when an immediate rem- edy is needed, a small quantity of powdered whiting, sprinkled on the inside of the belt, is very good and is the least harmful of any similar appli- cation.
The use of beeswax, rubbed on the inside of the belt or on the pulley is a very good remedy in cases of emer- gency.
Many people use powdered rosin on a slipping belt but this is bad practice because it soon dries the leather and causes it to crack.
LIGHTNING RODS PROTECT . BUILDINGS
From Prairie Farmer.
"It is generally agreed now that lightning rods, properly installed, do afford a considerable measure of pro- tection to farm buildings, a fact which is indicated by the more favorable in- surance rates which many insurance companies offer in insuring farm build- ings that are properly rodded," says K. J. T. Ekblaw of the department of farm mechanics, University of Illinois.
"One insurance company of Michi- gan states that the small sum of $32 has been paid in four years for dam- age done to rodded buildings by light- ning, although a total risk of fifty-five million dollars was taken. Another company taking risks amounting to fifty-nine million dollars, in the same period of time on both rodded and un- rodded buildings, paid for damage done by lightning more than a thou- sand times as much as the other com- pany paid on wired buildings. A prominent fire insurance adjuster states that in his experience, for every dollar's worth of damage done to properly rodded buildings, there was $1,168 damage done to unrodded ones. In other words, there was indicated on efficiency of 99.9 per cent in favor of wired ones.
"Some of the points to be kept in mind in installing a system of light- ning rod protection are as follows:
"(1) Either copper or galvanized iron may be used for lightning con- ductors. The cable form is satisfac- tory and the weight of the copper should be at least three ounces per foot, while that of the galvanized iron should be twice as much.
"(2) All parts of the wiring should be connected up into one system. No blind ends or stubs should be left un- grounded. Joints should be made very securely and the contact made as perfect as possible by soldering and brazing ..
+"(3) The conductor should be firmly fastened to the building in- stead of being insulated from it, as is sometimes done. The purpose of the conductor is to take the light- ning charge away from the building; insulation prevents this.

PRAIRIE FARMER'S RELIABLE DIRECTORY
THE PRAIRIE FARMER'S CREED
I believe in red clover, I believe in cow peas, I believe in soy beans, and above all. I believe in alfalfa, the queen of forage plants.
I believe in a permanent agriculture, a soil that shall grow richer rather than poorer from year to year.
I believe in hundred bushel corn and in fifty bushel wheat, and I shall not be satisfied with anything less.
I believe that the only good weed is a dead weed, and that a clean farm is as important as a clean conscience.
I believe in the farm boy and in the farm girl. the farmer's best crops and the future's best hope.
I believe in the farm woman, and will do all in my power to make her life easier and happier.
I believe in a country school that prepares for country life, and a country church that teaches its people to love deeply and live honorably.
I believe in community spirit, a pride in home and neighbors. and I will do my part to make my own community the best in the state.
I believe in better roads. I will use the road drag conscientiously whenever opportunity offers, and I will not "soldier" when working out my road tax.
I believe in happiness, I believe in the power of a smile, and 1 will use mine on every possible occasion.
I believe in the farmer. I believe in farm life, I believe in the inspiration of the open country.
I am proud to be a farmer, and I will try earnestly to be worthy of the name.
