HARVESTING BY MOTOR
ON AN ENGLISH FARM
Demonstration Capabilities Type
Agricultural Motor Tractor with
Great

The problem of the motor-tractor's
use in agriculture has always been
one of considerable interest to me:
and it was with great pleasure that
last week I accepted an invitation to
attend at Biggleswade in Bedford
shire demonstration of the capabil-
tiles of the latest type of agricultural
motor-tractor, writes H G. Lafone in
Country Life. The machine to be pub
hcly tested was the newest model
tractor turned out by the Ivel Agri-
cultural Motors, Limited, firm which,
first in the field in 1902, has gained
many diplomas and awards for the
work accomplished by its machines in
open competition with horse-drawn
implements. I was promised a DEM
onstration of ploughing and harvest
ing by means of a tractor, and, al
though the weather was of such a ma
ture that no sensible farmer would
have attempted with horses either
ploughing or cutting until an improve
ment had occurred, the program was
carried through with the greatest sue
cess. the only hitch being occasioned
by refractory binder, which mani.
tested an inclination to skid on the
headland of an abominably greasy
field
Before describing the days doings,
I think it will be we'll to give some
particulars of the tractor itself, for
it was this which was on it's trial, the
actual agricultural implements -

The grain bins herewith illustrated
are not only very handy, but are also
easy to build. AS shown in the IL
lustration, they are seven feet high at
the rear. five feet in front, and six to
eight feet square. The material used
is six-inch matched stuff, except the
T-shaped division post. They should
De of two-inch lumber, and may be
worked out as shown. or built up of
three pieces. The greatest advantage
of these bins is that the entire
fronts may be removed and replaced
at viii, or one may be used at the
top of each, and they act as braces
to prevent the cross partitions from
being pushed out of line. The bins
should, If possible, be set on cement
floor, and be at least ten inches away
from the wall, to avoid hiding places
for rats and mice. The bins are in

To XIII sparrows.

A method of getting rid of the Eng.
lish sparrow pests is described by a
poultry breeder, whose yards were
visited by the sparrows in such num-
bers as to seriously interfere with
his profits. He fastened a small box
about four inches deep. on a post
five feet high. placed just outside of
his poultry yard. This box he kept
supplied with poisoned chick feed.
The sparrows entered cordially into
the new feeding program and several
hundred of them left bodily testimo.
malls to the palatability of the food.

bly, sprung. The steering is light and
rods running from the steering col
umn to either side of the front wheel.
The entire tractor weighs S5 cwt. The
weight question is, of course, most
important and the comparative light
ness of the tractor Is distinctly in its
favor, for it oyercomes one of the
farmers main objections to mechani-
cal haulage on the farm. In dry
weather the tractors driving wheels
are not provided with any special
gripping devices, the steel tires being
equipped only with small diagonal
ribs; but in wet seasons, or on greasy
ground, "spuds" are clamped to the
tires and afford additional holding
power. At last weeks demonstration
both the grip of the driving wheels
and also the cooling system were
slippery and the ground SO soft that
the tractor was compelled to do all
it's work on the low speed. In spite
of this, however the engine did not
become unduly hot, nor did the driv-
ing wheels appear to slip to an appre-
ciable extent.
The demonstration took place upon
a large farm on the outskirts of Big
gleswade. the farmer himself being
loud in praise of mechanical haulage.
I was first taken to a field in which
some thirty acres were ready for the
plough, and here the tractor was har-
messed up to three-furrow plough.

How To
Gain Flesh

Persons have been known to
gain a pound a day by takingan
ounce of Scott Emulsion. It
is strange, but it often happens.
Somehow the ounce produces
the pound; it seems to start
the digestive machinery going
properly, so that the patient is
able to digest and absorb his
ordinary food which he could
not do before, and that is the
way the gain is made.
A certain amount of flesh is

ELY's CREAM BALM
Too Late

She kissed the old man. She
showered upon him kisses and
tears. She told all the people
how good he was. / thought if
she had only given two of those
kisses per quarter for the last
ten years how the tender heart
ed old gentleman would have
smiled through his tears! But
now he took it all very coolly.
He was dead. He was old and
poor and she was young and
rich. She had ten rooms, but
no room for father. Yet he made
room for her when he had only
two. The old man was not edu-
Gated. She waS-at his expense.
He had fed her and clothed her
for twenty years at home and at
college until she had risen
into more refined and cultured
society and married among them.
The old peoples address and di-
alect were too coarse. She kiss
ed him and buried him in a beau
tiful coffin.
