every foot of ground in the fields.
But the inventor has been busy
in behalf of the small farmer and
today several inventions are be-
ing tried out.
One of these is a three-wheeled
machine, a cross between an auto
mobile and an old-fashioned
steam traction engine. The front
wheel is steered with an auto
steering wheel from the drivers
seat in the rear.
The big studded traction wheels
are propelled by two-cylinder
opposed 15-horsepower gasoline
engine with a radiator in front
just like an automobile. The
power is transmitted through
mesh gears connected by friction
clutches. Either drive wheel can
be disconnected at random to al
low short turns.
Cost Not Great.
It consumes a gallon of gaso-
line an hour and is said to do the
work of six horses, drawing three
12-inch plows, in any field where
team of horses can get around.
Further, 1t can be used with any

implement requiring power, clos
ing the season by hauling the
crops to the market.
1t is probable that when the
different makes of small traction
blowers reach the market, the
price will be anywhere between
$500 and $500. A good team of
farm horses costs nearly $500.
The 6,750,000 farmers in the
United States each annually pillow
more than 80 acres-totaling
about one-eighth of the whole
United States.
Not only can gasoline take the
place of corn and oats and hay as
feed for thep lowhorse of the flu
ture, but wood alcohol can be
used for the same purpose and
with but a slight change in the
machine.
Any farmer can make enough
wood alcohol during the off sea-
son to run his auto tractor the
whole of the busy blowing, har-
rowing, thrashing, marketing
time. Into his still he can throw
Istumps, sawdust. weeds, brush,
branches of trees and such refuse

For ages the city man has call

when he noticed the awkward gait
with which the farmer strobe over
city pavements. OF course, the
smart-alecky city fellow didn't
know that if he had followed a
pillow over miles and miles of
rough ground, through clod-filled
burrows of almost seemingly end

less graceful strides himself.
But that will soon be thing of
