time cobbling up special hitches to drag a fleet of horse power implements around the field behind his tractor; he realizes that they are not as efficient, economical or durable as implements especially designed for power farming. The man who makes the most profit out of power farming arranges a prompt and regular fuel, oil and water supply for his tractor just as carefully as he arranges to feed and water his teams. He carefully lays out his fields in lands of the proper size so that time is not needlessly lost in going around the ends. He hires a good operator for the tractor, and sees to it that the operator keeps the tractor cleaned, oiled, adjusted and repaired. He buys good fuel, oil and supplies. He plans to do just as many days' work as possible with the tractor, realizing that by keep ing it busy he very greatly cuts down the cost of interest and depreciation per unit of work done; he arranges to do his own grinding, shelling, shredding, silo filling, threshing, wood sawing, clover hulling, etc., as well as all of his field work except haying, planting and cultivating corn. He works the machine twenty-four hours per day when anything is to be gained by it. He realizes that here is the power and capacity of twelve horses and three men, and that he must give just as much careful thought to keeping the outfit profitably employed as he would in planning the work of twelve horses and three men. Bulletin No. 73 of the U. S. Department of Agriculture gives the following figures for farm work done with horses, while several hundred cost operation reports furnished by users of a very practical, light weight tractors give the average cost of farm work done with their machines: machines are taking a hard fall out of the high cost of living. The saving in the cost of doing the work is the least important benefit of power farming. The increased crop from the more thorough preparation of the seed bed; the ability to work a very large amount of ground when it is in just the right condition to be worked; the owner's independence of the local help supply; the saving of an immense amount of hard, dreary work for man and beast; the ability to devote a larger acreage of the farm to raising crops for the market, are benefits that far outweigh the direct saving in the cost of doing the field work. No thoughtful student of agricultural conditions denies the constantly increasing necessity of the tractor. Rapidly increasing land values demand increased land rentals and interest; increased land rentals and interest demand increased crops; increased crops demand more thorough cultivation; more thorough cultivation demands more power, more time and more help. If horse power is to be increased, more help must be had to drive the horses. As enough help is already the most serious problem the average farmer has to solve, it is evident that more horse power is every day becoming less practical or possible, and that willingly, or unwillingly, he will have to turn to the tractor for relief from this dilemma. In the tractor he will find the power, the time and the help that his conditions demand. Kieselguhr is a white, fine-grained earthy substance found in certain parts of Germany, Switzerland and Chili, South America. It has a number of industrial uses, one of the principal of which is that of furnishing a non-conducting covering for steam pipes. Bricks made of this substance are so light that they will float on the water. In the districts where it is found it is thought to be chalk and is often viewed as such, but when observed under a microscope it is seen to consist of minute shells of diatoms. It is almost pure silica. Old Sile's Bargain Counter BARGAIN NO. 1 Sile has a good eighty-acre farm located in Ashtabula County, Ohio, with forty acres under cultivation and forty acres in woods pasture, with nearly a thousand sugar trees, the best sugar bush in the county, and everything pertaining to sugar making including buckets, evaporator, furnace and sugar house.

You have often heard people say of a gasoline engine, "it is possessed of the devil," but did you ever hear anyone say his engine has a conscience? Yet there are such engines. There is one built over at Marcellus, Michigan, that is guaranteed to have a conscience as inflexible and as honest as that of any of our Puritan forefathers. Perhaps it has a soul also and if a soul, then surely intelligence, but we must not presume too much even though circumstances appear to make the presumption most reasonable. The catalog assures us the engine possesses a conscience, meaning by this that it is built honestly, of good materials and by conscientious people. There are some statements made in regard to the power of the engine that challenge attention. The engine appears to be more than ordinarily powerful and economical, but the manufacturer declares he is ready to make good $75 to $500. Write for bargain list. We will surprise every statement and so, having such positive as you. Eureka Auto Co., Beavertown, Pa. surances, we will not question further. We suggest to anyone who is interested in gasoline engines that he write the Chapman Economizer Engine Works for a copy of their new catalog. It is worth reading. Lloyd George declares he is convinced that the majority of the English electorate are opposed to woman suffrage and that English women must not expect to succeed in their movement in the near future. He attributes the antagonism of the men to the methods used by the suffragetts. |
