age space.
Manufacturers have made special lines
OF farm engines in various sizes, ranging
from five TO 100 horsepower, both for sta
tionary work and portable use.
Upward Of 5000 such engines have been
sold 10 American farmers In the last two
years, says Coasters Magazine. and the de-
mand for the present year will exceed any
past record.
There Is a g%asolene farm engine adapted
for dragging heavy gangs Of ploughs across
long fields, followed by harrows, oultiva-
tors. seedeB and harvesters.
In fact, the land can be titled. planted and
the crops harvested with a machine Of this
sort without the aid Of a single hore and
with very little hired help,
In the great Northwest the portable gaso-
lene threshing outfits are conspicuous
features at the harvest season. They are
much lighter than the old steam threading
plants, are self-propelllng and on rubber
tires, so that they can be run easily and
quickly from farm to farm.
The farm help problem il thus being
partly solved In the great Northwest. Even
In the new Northwest Of Canada scores Of
these machines have been put In operation
In the last year, The great wheat crop
could not be harvested and threshed with
out such appliances.
The gasolene motor Is no less important
In marketing products. The modern tour
ing cars and runabouts sold TO farmers are
for utility first and pleasure afterward.
By their aid one farmer says that he
realized $500 more In one season for his arti-
Giles than II he had sold them In the old way,
taking the market prices as they varied
from day 10 day. Another farmer having
a lot Of fancy poultry made In one trip SIS
more than the regular profits through
rushing a load 10 market during q day OF
high prices.
The farmers wives and daughters have
learned TO operate the machines, and II ls
not unusual TO see them peddling farm
produce from automobiles In many Of the
Western towns and cities. Some Of them
run In from ten to twenty miles and sell
their produce before oOn n get back
again In the early afternoon.

was an unusually interesting one
consisting of marches, drills, dia-
