Engines or Horses?


Editor Sentinel-P ost.-Replying TO
your inquiry as to the relative adj
vantages of the traction engine and
horses for conducting farm work on
large scale, l will say unhesitatingly
that the engine is q money saver.
have found it SO in my experience with
wheat farming in Kansas. being able

Total $500
Saving per day .$lS.3O
Now, figuring six months work 05S
days. and the saving is $2,S54.SO, and
that amount In spot cash will pay FOR
a thirty horse power engine such as
use.
You will notice that these figures
only cover the expense OF purchase and
operating each outfit constantly. One
big item to be considered in favor of
the engine is that when not running
the expense is only for the wages and
board OF two men, which Is only IS per
day, while with the horse equipment
the expense is s29 per day whether
operating or not. When the season Is
over the engine is put away and there
is no more expense. while the horses
must be cared for and fed 365 days In
the year.
I have used my engine two seasons,
doing almost all classes Of farm work.
breaking prairie sod, pulling eight H.
inch plows or ten 14-inch plows on
old ground. l pull 12-foot Emerson
roller behind the plows on old land
which puts the land in fine condition
for seeding. l drilled my wheat with
the engine, pulling four 10-foot drills
and driller 1000 acres in twelve days.
using only twenty-nine gallons OF gaso-
line per day. Thirty-five to forty gal
Ions will pillow thirty acres Of stubble
per day. I disc my sod land, pulling
five S-foot discs, double discing, and
20-foot harrow behind which fits the
sod or stubble land for wheat The en-
CINE is used for threshing or haulins
grain to market, If some distance from
town.
There are several makes Of gasoline
traction engines and have thoroughly
| investigated several Of them, and be-
lieve the one made by the Gas Traction
Engine Company, Of Minneapolis
Mimi, is the most practical and most
desirable engine on the market. It Il
the only one made that has self guide
and 1t Is perfect and always right Al
its post. never goes to sleep as some Of
the boys do on Monday The engine
can be used to pull three or five binders
as the factory makes binder hitch
that is perfect.

as numerous as the odious rooted in and
otherwise inclosed playhouses that have
served to bring such artificial days on
the drama. Only then will the poet and
the author be restored to the place they
held in the theater of antiquity and
should hold today.
When the drama ran in out of the rain
and, enjoying the protection of roof
over her head. stayed indoors the picture
rather than the play became the thing.
Mise scene took the place Of the de-
throned poet who in the free days of the
Greciansstage had spoken by the mouths OF
his actors. The ancients knew moving men
and women on their stage and never both
cred their heads about pictures any more
than the EliZabet hans did. So perverse has
public taste become that only in the mod
ern playhouse with its Examinations, its
scenery, its painted players and its cur
tain does the conception of the theater
exist. Ask any man what theater is

know by that name and not the shrine

to meet to do common reverence as
spectators and Interpreters TO the au-

GALVESTON NOW SAFE
TEXAS CITY RAISES GRADES
ABOVE FLOOD LEVEL.
Work Almost Completed on Tenth
Anniversary of Catastrophe
Which Cost Many Lives.

Special Correspondence of The STAR
GALVESTON. Tex. September $. 1910.
On this day. which marks the tenth ar
niversary Of the terrible tropical hurri-
cane which swept over this city, blottinS
out the lives OF more than 700 persons
and laying waste the homes and other
property of the people, it may be said
that Galveston has almost entirely COM
pleted the most remarkable protective
works ever undertaken by any commu-
nifty of its size. The grade of the whole
city has been raised from two TO four
teen feet.
Some idea of the magnitude Of this un-
dertaking may be had when it is known
that the grade-raising work involved the
filling of more than five hundred blocks
TO an average depth Of six and one-half
feet This is exclusive of an enormous
amount Of filling that has been done by
the federal government upon Fort Crock
EFT reservation and by the county outside
the city limits. The Embarrassing WORK
all told. upon Galveston Island repre-
sents the expenditure of about S3.1D,"Do
Nearly 5000 buildings had to be raised
In order 10 permit the filling 10 be placed
beneath them. These included residences
Of every description. large and small
brick. stone and frame; massive churches
and business houses and manufacturing
plants The cost of raising these build
ings ranged from S125 to Slo.Eb each
The average cost was about $1,000 each,
making a total expenditure Of nearly 81
600 900 for this preparatory work alone
