Attention Farmers.

In the face of the demoralized con.
dition of business for the past two years
the light running Plano Harvester and
Binder has had wonderful sale, not
only in the Uuited States but in nearly
every Nation in the world, and now
with the return of prosperity she takes
the lead and stands today without a
rival wherever introduced. Progress is
the history of the Plano. There are many
exclusive features that cannot be found
on any other competing machine. The
Fly Wheel, a marvel of the age. The
friction clutch reel has only to be seen
to be admired. The Rocking Lever,
Twine Tension, and elf-adjusting chain
tightener, &C., &c., puts her head and
shoulders above any machine in the
market. As proof of its popularity in
Highland county, we have already sold
and ordered one car load of machines to
the best farmers in the county, with a
flattering prospect of selling two car
loads more this season. We also handle
the Jones Chain and Sprocket drive
mower, which is also an advance ma.
chine. 1t is matter of fact that ia
inevitable that the Chain and Sprocket
gear is bound to drive the nest OF cog
gearing out OF every mower, and will take
their place. The chain drive principle
avoids friction, vibration, noise, and
above all, provides direct power and
with the double edged knife, with which
it is provided, makes it the lightes
draft and longest lived machine il
existence. Come and see our machines

Wheat as Food for Animals.

Following in the footsteps of Kansas,
one of the largest wheat producing States
of America, we have propounded a series
of questions to about three hundred of
our wheat-growers in different counties
of the State as 10 the cost of production
and their ideas as to the use of wheat for
iced, asking at the same time for opinions
from them as TO the future of wheat
growing i'll California, and any other
practical observations as their experience
might suggest.
The questions submitted, with request
Tor careful answers, are as follows:
What does your wheat cost you per
bushel III the sack, including per cent.
interest upon value of land upon which
raised, also wear and tear of equipment,
If the yield is 10 bushels per acre? An
swer, - cents; 10 bushels per acre, -
cents; 20 bushels per acre, - cents: %
bushels per acre, - cents: 80 bushels per
acre, - cents.
w hat is the present value Of land upon
whlcn wheat is produced at cost named?
How many bushels per acre should
land yield to make wheaL-growing fairly
prontaDIe IN your county at per cent
peripound?
What proportion of wheat land in your
county now yield that amount?
Have you had any experience in the use
OF wheat as feed tor animals-horses, cat
tie, swine, ETC.? If SO, is there any rea-
son why it should not be used, either
alone or mixed with other grains?
AT present prices would 1t not be more
profitable Tor growers to iced large pro-
portion OF their wheat and market cattle
and swine thus iattened?
What profitable disposition. in your
opinion, can be made of our wheat to in
sure the grower warranted returns?
Kindly give us any suggestions you
may have, or observations you have
made upon the subject that will in YOUR
opinion, be OF interest to the general
public.
The replies received were nearly one
hundred in number, and may be found
an ecte1ISO farther on in this volume, and
are OF character to make them valuable
contributions to this work Deductions
for incorporation here have been made,
with result showing they were wholly
based upon the season of 1894, which
caused to be given, in our opinion, the
darkest side of the question.
The average OF all the reports received
as to the cost OF wheat raised and in the
sack, including I per cent. interest upon
value of land upon which raised, also
wear and tear of equipment with differ
ent yields, show thus:
Yield of Ten bushels per acre. 10 cents
per bushel.
Yield of fifteen bushels per acre, 90
cents per bushel.
Yield of twenty bushels per acre, A
cents per busEel.
Yield Of twenty-five bushels per acre,
80 cents per bushel.
Yield of thirty bushels per acre, So cents
per bushel.
The highest and lowest average cost per
bushel, given by counties, under the tive
different yields named, and the average
value per acre, by counties, OF the land
upon which grown, are shown as follows:
