let you find out for yourself"
The next day Uncle Ben was up
bright and early. He expected to see
| Henry in his farm "togs'' this morning,
| but the young man looked just as spick
and span as yesterday. He had mere
| ly put on a pair of heavier shoes and
turned up the bottoms of his trousers.
First, they went to see a field which
was to be planted for a late crop.
s.What's the fellow drivin'. that
wagon over it for?'
That's not a wagOn-that is ma
nure spreader. Instead of scattering
it with a pitchfork as he goes along
over the field, the man lets the manure
scatter itself. AS the horses move
ahead the stuff keeps working back
upon IA sort of drum or cylinder that
revOlves. The drum scatters it just
as evenly as you shake the salt out
of the salt-cellar."
Hum. Saves time, don't it?'
SHOULD say it did. That machine
does as much as dozen men could do,
and does it better. But wait until
we get down to where they are cutting
corn"
Then Uncle Ben did whistle in ear
nest. Here We're machines moving
along the edge of the great cornfeld

lower part of each, was a long steel
blade. which cut off every stalk just
above the roots. As fast as each was
cut. it was wrapped into a big bundle
by a metallic arm which guided cord
around the stalks, tying the bundle
mechanically. This cOntrivance was
actuated by Il crank which the Oper-
atOr could turn with his right hand,
while controlling his horses with the
other
''Great thing. amt it?'' said the
young farmer. ''Cuts the corn and
shock it and by horse power. Saves
all the work we had to do with the |
corn knife. How my back used to
ache when you were showing me how |
to shock ON the old place, This is |
why a man can have ii hundred or a |
thousand acres in corn out here"
But it must be a job to husk it, |
Where can you get enough people to do
it?"
Henry laughed You're thinking of
the Old-time husking bee and the red
ear and pretty girl. Well. I'm sorry |
to say we're too new-fangled for that |
Our husking bees are all run by steam
power. We're going over to one of the
corn barns now, and I'll show it to
you"
Beside the door of the barn. was a |

because it shows something of the
methods of modern farming as carried
on Oh the Western plains. The writer,
however, is not a practical farmer or
he would not have had them harvest
ing wheat and corn on the same day.
While it is true. that wheat is often
cut by machines which thresh it at
the same time, all at one operation,
it would be difficult to shell corn the
day it was husked. 1t would be so
damp that it would not shell readily.
Aside from tnat, the account is an
interesting showing of the large scale
on which farm work is done in some
places.
Martha, Henry wants me to come
out and see him this summer said
Uncle Ben. as he took off his spectacles
and folded UP the letter. "He says
us folks down here have only garden
patches alongside of the Western
farms
Il don't know as to that, Benjamin,
but those thOusand-acre places must
certainly be big Why, one would
reach from the Corners way to Jenk-
ms corn-lot Oh the creek, wouldn't it ?"
''That, and more too. But l don't
believe them Kansas folks are such
great farmers. They may spread over
lots of ground and not get so much out
of it. If they can beat York state in
CROWN wheat and corn, they'll do
well. Henry says they use steam
engines out there for plOwin' Well,
I guess our old team will do lis for
spell yit. / believe, though, i will go
out and see the boy. | haven't had
lOafin' spell now for ten years, and
I'd kind o like to know how them
Westerners do things, anyway
And this is how it was that, a few
weeks later, Uncle Ben alighted from
the train and set foot for the first time
on Kansas soil. AS he was hustled off
to Henry's farm behind the pair of
Sleek-cOated bays, the old man had
time to glance at the neat runaIbOut,
then at the well-grOomed young fellow
beside him. Henry not only wore Il
collar and necktie, but had his coat on.
Nor were his trousers stuck in his boot
tops. Pears to me you're not wOrkin'
very hard. Henry, but things look
prosperous observed the old man,
with sidelOng glance.
Il don't, Uncle-with my hands
We do more farming with our brains
out here, because we have to. But
everything you see is paid for. and
there's no mortgage on the place.

| wide Over there, Sheldon is just
running a header alone. You see, it
is pushed along with four or five hors-
es behind it. The row of wagons are
| grain bargeS,' as we call them. One
| is kept at the side of the header, and
driven at the same speed. The heads
are loaded into it by the moving belt;
and, as soon as filled, it is driven away
and another takes it's place. He's got
a stationary thresher somewhere, and
the barges are feeding it; but wait till
you see his tractor. L guess he's got
it on the other side of the field. Well
get over there this afternoon"
When Uncle Ben saw it, he could
scarcely believe his eyes. He knew all
about the threshing machine, and the
way it was drawn from farm to farm
in York state, to separate the grain
from the straw; but the traction en-
gine merely pulled the thresher along
the pike" and then was used as
stationary engine to run the thresher.
this great farm mOter, which moved
across the field eXerting the power of
seventy-five horses; but the power was
needed, for, as it worked it's way
forward, it kept i'm motion mechanism
which cut every stalk of grain in a
space thirty feet wide, carried it to
the threSher, separated the wheat and
put it into sacks, and then piled the
straw to one side. Every twelve hours
it converted $50 acres into stubble;
yet the Crew required, consisted
of an engineer and helper, a
man to take away the filled grain-bags.
and fourth to control the movements
of the thresher.
II wish you could see the tractor do
the work of the farm horse in the
early season." observed Henry, as he
noted Uncle Ben's interest i'm the har-
vesting scene. Here it takes just as
many horses to turn up corn land as
it does the clay soil out East We
would calculate about three to a plOw,
and to get over an acre or two is a
good days work, but it is wonderful
what can be done with these things.
When the tractor begins operations,
there is no 'clucking,' no urging, no
cracking of the whip. The engineer
pulls his lever, and then, with both
hands to the wheel, increases or de-
creases the steam pressure. Very slow
ly the great driving wheels revolve at
first, until the man gets an idea of the
resistance from the stiffness of the
soil. If heputs on too much steam,
he may jerk the plows out of the
ground and drag them along the sur
face. AS it is, the big chunks of steel
are thrown several feet into the air
if they happen to get into a bed of
loose earth or sand that the engineer
did not notice. By degrees the whole
surface is turned. Faster and faster
the plow-pOints move through the
earth and stubble, each cutting
straight furrOw. A strip from ten to
