THE IRON HORSE IN AGRicUL-
TURE,

One of the most interesting as well
as important economic developments in
the realm of agriculture in the past
ten years has been the remarkable
utilization of steam and gasoline mo-
tor power IN the doing of many kinds
of farm work The old time horse
power sweep was put out of business
a long time ago. More recently the
iron horse has been called into service
to pull a gang of from six to ten
plows, to disk and harrow the land, to
haul heavy loads to market, to build
good roads-in every instance displac-
ing a large number of horses. The in
PRODUCTION of gasoline tractors in the
semiarid portions of the west, where
water and fuel are at q premium, has
gone on at rapid rate, with the result
that they are now firmly established.
having proved their efficiency in vir-
tually every position in which they
have been tried. One manufacturer,
who has been pioneer in this line OF
work, is looking forward to the time
when from half to two-thirds of the
horses now engaged in doing the agri-
cultural work of the country will be
displaced by oil or alcohol traction en-
gines of varying size and horsepower.
The twenty horsepower tractor cost
ing $500 is hardly within reach of
the farmer of moderate means, but
should one be put on the market cost
ing half this sum, say $1,000. profita-
bic use could be found for it on almost
any farm of 800 or more acres, or one
could be owned jointly by four or five
neighbors and used to do the work of
twelve or fifteen horses. The whole
trend of industry is along the line of
a displacement of hand work and horse
power, and progress along the above
line would be followed with interest.

The necessity Of sufficient rain for
the corn at caring time is shown from
the fact that for the production Of
every pound of dry matter in stalk or
ear there must pass through the stalk
from 275 to 300 pounds of water. Thus
when there is a shortage of moisture
in the soil the size and weight of the
stalk and ear are likely to be reduced
in the same proportion.

Roadside weeds are not only an eye
sore to the passerby, but if left uncut
through the winter are likely to prove
prolific source of drifts and chucky
roads. If the weeds have not been cut
between July Is and Aug. 15, as is re-
quired by law in number Of states,
they should at least be cut for the
above reason before snow flies.

The notion is pretty well outgrown
that frost works any real good to
field of immature corn in the matter
of helping to ripen it. A heavy or
killing frost means death to the leaves
and hence death to the stalks. Fol-
lowing this, the juices in the stalk
turn sour and thus render little or no
assistance to the ears in the CONVEX
sion of the starch which they contain.

Many farm animals which are killed
in pasture during summer thunder
storms get the fatal charge Of electrici-
ty from being in too close proximity to
wire fences inclosing the pasture. Loss
from this source could be completely
done away with. An Ohio farmers
mutual insurance company requires all
members who take out insurance for
live stock to ground the wire fences
on their premises. This is done by con-
Meeting short wires of the proper
length to the several wires comprising
the fence and grounding them at inter
walls of about six rods by running them
down the posts. The lower end Of the
wire should extend into the ground
about six inches.

A locality 100 miles south of where
the writer lives this year had in sight
some fifteen carloads of Wealthy and
other varieties of fall apples a few
days before it was time to pick them
a hard wind blew through the orchards
for several hours, with the result that
two-thirds CT the fruit on the trees
was precipitated to the ground and
rendered worthless for packing pur-
poses. In no instance were any of
these orchards protected by timber
belt as a windbreak. AS a result the
ripening fruit was an easy prey for
the swishing winds. The Importance
of a windbreak for the orchard in To-
calities where heavy winds are likely
hardly be overestimated. If site
cannot be chosen for the orchard
which already has a belt of natural
timber to the windward. it is well to
set out several rows of quick growing
trees, such as cottonwoods, willows or
elms, which will furnish the needed
protection by the time the trees get
into bearing. Next to hail, damage
from wind the orchardist has most to
fear, and against serious loss from
this source he can largely insure him-
self with a timber belt of the above
type. In the writer's orchard this pro-
lection is furnished by belt of nat
ural timber to the south and west,
which has proved invaluable since
the orchard came into bearing.

Following protracted dry spell
which has been characterized quite
generally the country over with nu-
merous forest fires and parched pas
lures. there will be tendency to stuff
the young pigs with heavy ration OF
green and immature field corn. Better
let them go hungry and stay thin than
make this mistake. Immature corn
may be fed, but in limited quantities,
and the ration should not be increased
until the food is dry and hard. A pigs
digestive apparatus is just as likely to
be unset as is that of the human being
who jumps Of a sudden from a diet OF
pork, potatoes, soda biscuits and dried
apples 10 all the green cucuinbers and
sweet corn he can stuff. In the latter
instance there is quitt1 likely to be vio-
lent disturbance. It's just so with the
pig. only that he doesn't have sense
enough to quit eating the stuff that has
upset his stomach, in which case his
owner should have sense enough to
quit placing the corn within his reach.
