GASOLINE ENGINE ON FARM.

engine of 21a horse power, the cost OF
which was $135. My experience with
it, he says, has been very satisfactory.
1t has cost me only % cents for re-
pairs, and the machine does not seem
to be worn at all.

does it with ease. 1t has converted

feet and 1 foot deep, lined with zinc.
1t holds about IA barrels of water and
l can and do have fresh and pure wat
er for my stock that any city may
envy. To pump this water by hand
would be impossible; and, with wind
engine, it would be too warm in sum-
mer and too cold in winter, as you
need to keep a supply on hand.
I use wood altogether for fuel on
the farm. The engine attached to a
24-inch circular saw does it all. | am
nearly 60 years of age, and in eight
minutes after L light the burner | will
be saving wood, and in two hours l
will have more wood for the stove than
four men could cut in a day, and with

for fowls. If we have a large wash

make the engine do it. 1t will crush
and grind feed; in fact, you can utilize
it wherever you have need of power.
The work mine has to do costs me
about three cents per day. | get five
gallons of gasoline every three weeks.
| have an alright metal can and pay
13 cents per gallon. 1t would be cheap
er, possibly, if bought by the barrel,
but it evaporates too readily from

er to handle. If I were to use the en-
CINE ten hours at it's full capacity the
cost would be about 33 cents. But no
farmer has use for it continuously. 1t
is the cheapest power known. 1t is
cheaper than my horse feed, not count
ing the gearing up AMI hitching up,
and a hand to mind the horses. Then
too, the engine will pull, no matter
how you crowd it. 1t will just pump
itself a little more gasoline and cough
away. 1t consumes gasoline accord
ing to the work it does.
There is no danger without willful
carelessness. The engine for its own
use has to pump gasoline up hill and
pumps it only as it is needed. II it
should by chance pump more, there is
a tube to allow it to run back into the
tank. For still greater safety, il four
or five charges should be exploded the

Experiments With Spaying.

The Iowa experiment station has
conducted some comparative feeding
tests with spayed and open heifers, in
which it was indicated that little or
no advantage was to be gained in a
feeding way from the operation. In
fact, the open heifers usually came out
little ahead. In all these expert
ments, however, the heifers were not
spayed until they were year or more
of age. This does not permit the I'M
sexing to exert it's influence to any
great extent upon the development of
the individual. 1t is a well-recognized
fact that the unsexing of the male
should not be postponed so long. The
dwarfing or elimination of the element
of reproduction both IN the animal
and vegetable world has a general ten
dency to increase the development of
flesh, and we believe some careful ex-
perimental work in which the spay-
ing was done when the calf was
quite young might result in great good
to cattle raisers everywhere.-Prairie

Be es in Winter.

The bees do not need any attention
at this season of the year, except to
see that they have plenty of stores in
the proper place to take them through
the winter. We desire to say again, if
you have neglected to look after your
bees in this respect do it now. 1t is
our firm conviction that colonies of
spring than they have at any other
time since we first began to study the
industry, thirty years ago. If you
have not studied up modern methods
of beekeeping, the winter is a good
time to do it. Every farmer who has
single colony of bees, especially if
he has children growing up, should
have a copy of some good bee book.
Not only this, but some member of the
family should be encouraged to read
and study it carefully, SO that he or
she may become master of the theory
of modern Bookkeeping. There is no
industry which is so uplifting, and of
fers so many inducements for study
as does beekeeping. 1t is not only
profitable where it is carried on in
connection with other rural pursuits,
but it is intensely interesting, and, at
the same time, tends to develop the
mind and elevate the character of any
one who studies it carefully. The
truth of the matter is that beekeeping
properly studied and practiced is a
liberal education in itself. We often
read in farm papers instructions to
give the boy or girl on the farm a
calf, colt, or pig. This is all very
we'll. and from out standpoint is ex-
cellent advice, but if we had a boy or
girl, an dwanted to give them some
thing that we thought would help
them, and teach them the best how
to make the most of life, we would
give them a colony of bees. The care
Of bees is sure to instruct the hand,
mind, and the heart at the same time,
and tends to the development of per-
feet manhood and womanhood. We
hope our readers on the farm who do
not have bees will think of these
things, and make arrangements to get
q colony or two next spring. If they
do, we are quite sure they will never
regret having followed our advice.

water, turn the grindstone, grind your
apples for cider, grind your feed for
stock the old way, and by hand, when
you can have a power that will do it
for you, and cheaper than you ever
did it? Help on the farm is getting
scarce everywhere.
