DISK PLow DRAWN BY TRACTION ENGINE.

every one of these projects there is an
excellent opportunity for the use of
powerful traction engines, accom-
panied by gang plows and harrows
These engines could be purchased and
managed by a number of settlers or
they could be operated by one man
who would contract to do the work.
Up in the Northwest Territories
Michigan man is preparing to intro
duce this method of custom plowing
and cultivating. He is building plow
which will turn nine burrows, each
fourteen inches wide. and with trac-
tion engine which he has designed
will plow 33 acres per day. He has
already contracted for 2,700 acres at

ing is reduced from taking the ten
cans to the creamery every day to
taking two cans of cream every other
day, or three cans twice a week.
The hand separator allows the
dairyman to feed the skim milk to
calves or pigs within a few minutes
Of the time it is drawn from the udder
and before the natural animal heat
leaves it. This saves warming the
milk and allows it's use when it is per-
fectly sweet and fresh.
The hand separator saves hauling
skim milk from the creamery to the
farm, and it also saves the dairyman
from the risk of getting milk from dis
eased cows to feed to his young stock.
This is not great risk, to be SURE,
but it is worth considering. Tuber-
culous cows are frequently found in
this country, and probably there IS
hardly a creamery among the patrons
of which no COWS suffering from
this disease could be found. If the
dairyman is sure of his own cows,
the hand separator saves him from
the risk of getting tuberculous milk
from the mixture in the milk vat at
the creamery, from which he gets his
skim milk when he delivers the whole
milk.
I The saving in work is large item.
Instead Of ten cans to care for anu
keep clean and free from germs, there
are only two. This saves labor and
the investment Of money in utensils.
At the low price at which hand sepa-
rators are sold, one will pay for itself
time and again before it wears out,

toned above.
There Is another item. The hand
separator is rapidly bringing about
the Capitalization of the creamery in
dustry. Cream gathered from hand
Iseparators is now transported as faI
as 200 miles to the central creamery,
and here it is made into butter al
much less cost than would be possible
in the local creamery with limited
field in which to operate. This allows
the creamery to pay better price for
butter fat and gives the dairyman
more money from his cows.
The man who keeps as few as five
cows will find it to his advantage to
buy hand separator, especially if he
makes butter on the farm. for in such
case the saving in work Is much
greater than where q creamery takes
J the cream.

UNITED STATES RECLAMATION.
Flowing by Cooperative Traction
Engines.
BY C. J, Blanchard.

A million acres will be added to the
cultivatable area of the country during
the next three years, under the various
government irrigation projects. Most
of this acreage is raw land upon which
the plow has never turned furrow.
Thousands of new settlers will be To-
Gated there and for several years the
principal work will be clearing, level
ing, and. plowing, to prepare the land
to receive the water.
Over vast stretches the sage brush
is the only vegetation. In other places
the bunch grass makes tough sod,
unyielding and hard to break. The
subjugation to agriculture of this new
empire has attracted the attention Of
the manufacturers of implements and
machinery. They see in this work a
virgin field for the products of their
factories. AS most of the settlers 60
ing upon this land are not in af-
fluent circumstances, and as feed for
stock will be scarce and costly, any
proposition which will eliminate the
necessity for the purchase ol horses,
plows and forage will naturally prove
interesting.

SEEDS OF NEW TYPES.
The parent types from which it has
been evolved are listed and carded in
the departments collection, and each
year as the fresh crops come in from
the improved fields their output is
carded for comparison. These new
types have now reached a point where
the department feels justified in send
ing out the new seed to the farmers.
And if the farmers will take a little
trouble and spend pra ntically no
money at all, they will be abe to keep
up the improved strains SO that in a
few years the American cotton crop
will have been doubled in value with
out necessarily expanding by single
acre.
1t has been tedious work, and has
been carried on systematically.
Score cards" such as are used in
Judging at stock shows are kept. The
records of the individual plants are
known, the shape and opening quail
ties of the boil, the date of maturing,
the length and firmness of the cotton
fiber and the degree to which the
parent plant may be depended upon to
transmit it's desirable qualities to its
progeny. The work has been done in
the open field and not in the care
fully tended plots of the experiment
stations. Thousands of plants have
been destroyed each year, and only
the best types kept. These have
again been weeded out the following
year, and only the best of the breed
have been kept. The farmers who
have been cooperating with the de-
partment in the work have been as
rule careful, enthusiastic and pains
taking under the direction of the ex-
perts sent into the field by the depart
ment and slowly but surely the length
of the staple and other desirable quail
ties in the new cotton have increased,
till the department now feels it has a
new and fixed type that can be de-
pended on to perpetuate it's desirable
qualities.
One thing that has been carefully
observed is to keep growing the new
types on the ground where they will
be cultivated commercially. There
are several new strains adapted to
slightly different conditions of soil
and climate. 1t has been found in
the case of wheat, for example, that
a strain may be improved in one To-
cality, and that by moving it to new
surroundings it shows little, if any,
improvement over the local type. This
error has been avoided with the new
Amador ledger., 1906-06-29

cotton, and the department not only
knows the seed that will give best
results, but the condition of soil and
climate that are best suited to the re-
quirements of each strain.
IF FARMERS WILL HELP.
The farmers at large can help great
ly in keeping up the work that has
been given practical start by the de-
partment. There are simple methods
of seed selection that will insure a
steady improvement in each successive
crop, and that will prevent the crops
from deteriorating. The selection of
seed takes little care and intelli-
gence, but it is not deeply abstruse
work, and the department has reduced
it to simple directions that are easy
for any planter to follow.
The cotton belt" so called, in the
United States is clearly defined. Cot

Cream Separator on the Farm.

It has been only a few years since
the manufacturers Of separators
brought out hand machines with the
definite purposes Of making them pop
ular and selling them in large num-
bers, says the Farmers Wife in a
well considered editorial. From that
time to this they have gained friends,
and now it is rare to hear anyone say
anything against them, and when this
does happen one may be sure it comes
from some person who has been in
jured by their use, and this is never
the man who provides.
The hand separator has so many
advantages over the creamery sepa-
rator that the whole creamery busi-
ness is being revolutionized and re-

are always the factors of ignorance,
Indifference and prejudice to be
reckoned with, and that will hold
down the grand total of the advance
This is human nature. Otherwise
every one would be raising thorough
bred stock, cats and chickens, which
cost no more to feed and rear than
scrubs, but everyone does not breed
thoroughbreds, whether they be dogs
or cows, and so it is a certainty that
when the average of the cotton crop
is vastly improved by the use of
better seed there will be a large num-
Der of planters who are sticking to the
old methods and complaining because
they find it hard to make living.
SEVERAL NEW STRAINS.
1t is fact, however, that the De-
partment of Agriculture has, by several
years of persistent work, bred from the
old varieties of cotton raised in the
south several new strains of cotton that,
while having all the desirable qualities
of the old types, produce staple that
is almost half longer. 1t is just one
branch of the general industry of plant
breeding, and the result, as shown by
the cotton itself combed out in fleecy
whiteness on a black card, is striking
object lesson in the possibilities of
plant breeding.
The Department has been at the
work for some years, and in the course
of its experiments has handled thou
sands of samples and hundreds of
thousands of individual plants in MAX
ing the selections that are now con-
sidered good enough to be sent out as
new fixed types. The story of this
improvement is a long one, inter-
spersed with many disappointments.
But the result now is success beyond
contradiction. Northerners, people
who live outside the cotton belt, do not
realize just what long staple cotton
grown on the uplands means. Cotton
is our principal export crop. 1t is the
second most valuable crop grown in
the United States, corn coming first.
1t is the principal crop of ten states,
and in large areas of these states it is
almost the only crop grown. The
United States furnishes five-siXths of
the cotton crop of the whole world,
and while there are great areas, espe-
cially in Africa, that are adaptable to
cotton, there is no prospect that the
United States will be overtaken as a
producer for many years to come.
The worlds consumption of cotton and
the consequent demand are increasing
steadily, so that there is little prospect
of over-production. All these things

With the cotton crop of the United

HOW 10 HOLD A POSITION.
Courtesy. Promptness, Loyalty and
Hard Work Are Keys to Success in
BUSINESS.
By H. ]. HAPGOOD,
President of Hanpoods.

FreSlueHI Oh f1dpSOOuS.
How to hold a position? Do just as
little work as you possibly can; take
no interest in the business; curse the
injustice Of your employers when you
see younger men advanced over your
head By following these rules you
may hold a position ten years, but the
salary paid you and the responsibility
placed upon you will be little if any
greater than when you started.
Put by holding a position we mean
something broader and better than
this. We mean constantly increasing
your employers satisfaction, steadily
developing higher ability and surely
advancing to larger and greater re-
sponsibility.
My subject is then really success
in business" and this, like success of
any kind, is "untaught and unteach-
able' There are, however, certain
valuable hints to be gained by study
ing the careers of men who have sue
ceeded. Although the paths by which
these men have won success are wide
ly different, there are certain features
which stand out prominently in all of
them. These 1 believe to be the es
sentials for business success-prompt
ness, courtesy, loyalty, hard work.
Promptness is the key note in this
age of hustle. Opportunity waits for
nobody, and the man who is always
little behind time is playing losing
game. always there with the goods"
is one of the highest tributes that can
be paid a modern business man.
Having the goods is the first con-
sideration, but this will avail little if
you are not always there with them
when wanted.
In this connection good story is
told of Philip D. Armour and young
man who had just begun work for
him. When on the first morning the
young man reached the Office at 9
o'clock, he found his employer al
ready there at work. The next morn
ing at $50 and the following morning
at o'clock it was the same. At last,
determined for once to be there first,
the new clerk was there at Z o'clock.
When he walked into the office Mr..
Armour looked up from his desk and
grimly inquired: Young man, where
do you spend your forenoons"
Business hours are not usually as
long as Mr. Armour made them, but
whatever they are they are rigidly OBJ
served. Five or ten minutes in the
morning, trivial as it may be itself, is
pretty sure indication of the degree
of promptness you will show in more
important matters.
81 know of no investment more GER
tain: to pay large dividends than
courtesy" said successful business
! man the other day, and he spoke the
truth. In the nerve-racking, endless
rush of affairs, there is nothing which
leaves a stronger impression than a
pleasant word or kind act, especially
if it be something most men over
look. Business courtesy is largely a
matter of habit and is one of the
habits we can afford to cultivate.
In the army and navy loyalty is an
essential for success and it is no less
so in the business world. Enthusiasm
| and loyalty go hand in hand; a man
cannot be really interested in his work
unless he has an employer to whom
he is loyal. "There are many brighter

and if the planters will cooperate with
the department to even a reasonable
degree the value of the whole cotton
crop in the United States can be vastly
enhanced without planting a single
additional acre, and there will still be
enough land available in the cotton
belt to assure the United States of its
supremacy in the cotton world for
many years to come.

ton is planted over the whole of it so
that there is no large addition of range
to the plant likely. 1t is true that the
acreage within the belt could possibly
be doubled, but that is not the thing
the department is after. Good cotton
land now yields 400 to 800 pounds to
the acre. What the department
would like is to see this yield doubled
in value and in quantity. The founda-
ton for this increase isnow firmly laid,
