No more significant change is taking
place in American agriculture than the
extent to which different kinds of mo.
tive power are taking the place Of
men and animals. The use of the
traction engine and automobile in the
place of the horse on the country
road, the employment Of gasoline
steam, wind and electric power to op-
crate mowers, threshers, plows, feed
cutters, corn huskers, and dairy ma
chinery are illustrations of epoch
making changes that are now going
on on every modern American farm.
On one ranch in California there is
100000 worth Of farm machinery op-

of its opponents. Deep or shallow
plowing is good or i'll according to con.
ditions of soil, in mechanical structure

safe to follow at all times are so few
that they cut but little figure in gooc

Independence of the Farmer.

The farmer should feel proud Of his
profession, as it is one of the most
useful and necessary occupations. He
does not sit on the ragged edge OF
doubt as to the permanency of his
position. He studies the laws of ma.
ture ard derives maintenance from her
bounteous stores. When times are
hard and laborers are clamoring fol
work, he has plenty of business to oc.
cupy his time. If the farmer com
mences with small capital his invest
ment is sure to increase, for the
earth often rewards the husbandman
an hundredfold. The proper manage
ment Of small undertakings leads to
larger enterprises. The welltilled
farm produces abundantly. and the
farmer always has a surplus to sell
that makes him independent even in
strenuous times The farmer Is the
