FARMING WITH MACHINERY.
Fifty-Horsc-Power Engines on southern
California wheat-Eiclds.


Farming is conducted on large and
economic scale in many portions OF
southern California. In no locality has
modern steam farming machinery
been applied with such effectiveness
as upon the grain ranches of southern
California. On one ranch the engine
used to draw the machinery is Of fifty
horsepower. and has drive wheels
eight feet high. IL consumes twelve
barrels of oil every day. and its opcr-
alton requires the services of seven
men. In plowing, fifty-five furrows
are turned over at one time, covering
breath of forty feet. Eight horses
are needed to keep the machine sup
piled with water and fuel. The best
record made so far in plowing is
seventyhve acres in four hours and
forty-fve minutes. The field was five
miles around, giving the great engine

this plow to the best advantage n
water station is maintained at one
corner of the field, from which the en-

The use of this machine is not an
experiment. Last year 5000 acres were
