men to run it than the smaller one.
True, but this is not the only point one
has to consider. There are many fields
where the smaller engine could be at
work that the big one could not nego-
tate at all
Then, again, when we come to
thrashing, we have much more
powerful engine than is necessary and
not by any means so handy. | would
much prefer, on large farm, to have
two ordinary sized engines constructed,
of course, for steam cultlvating pur-
poses Breakdowns will happen with
large or small engines, and should one
be thrown out the other would be doing
something and not leave the farmer en-
tirely In the hole. Then, again, with the
addition Of n separator the thrashlng
would be run through In half the time
and the engines get back to work on
fall blowing.
THE greatest objection l have to
very heavy engines is that they have
not only to develop more power to pro-
pei themselves, but they are increasing
the work to be done by the pillow. II
the land Is at all sticky. the soil will be
turned up In great Jumps, which will
again Increase after operations upon It
before 1t Is reduced to good seed bed.
There Is no doubt but that the trou-
BILE In keeping the pillow in the ground
Is due to the hard and uneven surface
caused by the wheels Of the heavy en-
CINE. The result Of this IL that the
plows are becoming heavier and heavi-
er. The land TO be operated on is tho
same rs would be broken by the horse
pillow. Then why so much heavier for
steam? Not merely on account of the
greater speed or the unlimited power
of the engine, but to cut through that
portion of the ground which has been
compressed by the engine wheels

was abandoned many years ago, 1t Ii

EVAPORATING APPLES.

evapora tors in every town where farm

seasons when the crops are large and
prices low entire crops are shaken
from the trees and sold in this man

for the fruit as to pick and ship 1t
in barrels.
There are also small eyaporators
made for farm use. These are made
of wood, with n system of racks, fitted
one above another. upon which to put
the sliced apples. 4 stove below fur

made in the top of the building by
which the heat Is regulated. These
dry houses are made Of different sizes,
and from eight TO forty bushels Of
apples may be dried in tWenty-four
hours. The difficulty with these farm
evaporators is to obtain the necessary
help with which to do the work. The
work cannot Ike so economically done
as with the large evaporators, and they
