numerous buffalo wallows or sinks. Not
withstanding these disadvantages the
work done will compare favorably with
the breaking lone with horses in the
ordinary way. Another advantage by
getting onto h ground when we did was
the fact that at the noon hour the crew
changes. The fireman, liver Isrelson, took
charge of the engine, and the tank man
operated the plows and fired or attempted
to. II takes but two men to run the rig,
the fireman handling the plows as well
as looking after the fire, so we saw her at
her worst. the tank man had had no ex-
perience with h plows and had a merry
time for a few minutes, until liver finally
set hin to run the engine and got down 70
regulate the plows. This change proved
disastrous as the new engineer was not
on to the steering and turned the wheel
the wrong way, cut a circle out on the
breaking but soon swung her back where
h belonged without stopping only max
a beautiful curve in the land. BY this
time the plows were in perfect operation
and Ivar resumed his place on the engine.
This incident proved TO us conclusiveIy
that any competent engineer can take
the rig with an assistant who has ordi-
nary intelligence and operate il success
fully in a very short time, for from this
time on a. long as we were there every
thing worked to perfection. We stuck to
our perch until the engine got back op-
posite the camp, despite the fact that
after the turn a head wind made US aware
the engine was a coal burner, when we
got down we had the appearance of a
chimney s-weep-covered with water, dust
and SCOT. AT this point Mr.. Casey came
over and took charge of the engine, the
tank was replaced by a full one, one OF the
gangs taken out and another substituted
for it-an extra pillow is kept on hand for
the purpose-during these operations
steam ran down to less than 20 pounds
but when everything was ready Casey
slipped upon the engine pulled the lever

remarked there was a bare possibility that
at some future date we might get another
square meal. so We covered our confusion
in "a quarter section of strawberry short
cake about the size of a Chicago girls foot
and were. for a few minutes, wholly
oblivious to our surroundings. As actions
speak louder than words it was unneces-
sary TO voice our compliments 10 Mrs.
Sam FURY. who has charge of this branch
of the enterprise, on her culinary ability.
On rising from the table we discovered
the breaking rig had just stopped TO
change crews,w we slipped out and jumped
upon the tool box of the engine to take a
turn around the land and witness, for the
first time. the operation of breaking by
steam power.

supplied from a common tank wagon
which Is drawn by the engine. a shaft or

engineer. and is certainly a very advan-
tageous scheme. Another practical and
ingenious device of his. which works TO
perfection, is in connection with the
steering apparatus. a cross bar on the end
of the t~ongue-with a wheel at either end,
the furrow wheel runs at an angle of
about fo,fy-five degrees and runs against

engine by means of a ten foot evcner are
four IA inch gang piows turning over
about 10 feet of sod as they go along.
The first gang vs. hitched close while the
fourth is about twenty feet from the

by means of cross bars bolted to the
beams with a loop in the end through
which the chain drawing the next pillow
works. The plows are operated by hand
levers in the ordinary way and travel az
