In the Walnut creek bottom out
there in hard, black gumbo land.
the outfit had plowed forty.fve
acres that day, and was lust
finishing up the piece when we
arrived. To see that immense en-.
gine pulling sixteen plows across
the field, at a gait that would
make a good team trot to keep up,
turning sixteen furrows every
time they cross the field. is
enough to make a man sit up and
take notice. The engine is A
twenty-five horse power, under
built, that is the double engines
are under the boiler, right down
on the trucks, and when she
starts out across the field makes a
fellow think that the Santa Fe
fast mail is coming across the
country.
This outfit has done its fifty
five acres of plowing in one day,
but in the particular field where
we saw it at work the ground is
of such kind that to plow it with
teams is almost impossible. It
would take four of StanIey's big.
gest and best mules to make a
start with a two.disc plow. and
then they wo uid not make very

finishing up his last field for him.
