THE FARMER AND THE AUTOMO
BILE.

The automobile will not milk the
COW nor tend the baby, but it will
churn the butter and grind the corn
meal and do pretty nearly every other
kind of work on the farm. After the
farmer sees the exhibit of farm nipple
ments made by the manufacturers of
South Bend, Indiana, at the Worlds
Fair, TO which the South Bend Trib-
une calls attention, and in which the
automobile plays stellar role, much
of the antipathy formerly felt by the
ruralist for the horgeless carriage will
be removed.
Of course the South Bend manufac-
turers will rot neglect the auto as a
pleasure vehicle, but it is the uses II
which the machine may be put on the
farm that will prove most novel and
interesting. An automobile with a
plow attachment will be in operation.

Another exhibit will show the automo-

and 1t will not appear as so great a
novelty.
The versatility of the automobile
will be demonstrated when it is seen,
as 1t actually will be, in the Palace of
Agriculture, grinding grain. The same
machine that conveys the farmer and
his family to church on Sunday. may
be placed in the barn on week days.
