traction engine, is a quarter section
On the large farms where the trac-
ton engine is in general use it is esti-
mated that the daily cost of operating
a gang OF plows is asout 81, while the
cost of horses and men to do the same
work would be from SIT to SIS per
day.
Traction engines are used to draw
harvesting machines, wagon trains of
grain to market and do every other
kind of work on the farm.
Wooden plaws and harrOws, which
were formerly used, have been almost
entirely discarded for implements
made of steel. One of the most i'm
portant implements in the cultivation
of the soil is the disk harrow. The
disks are arranged in gangs and
pulveTize the ground at a more rapid
rate and leave it in better condition
than any other implement next to the
harrow.
The corn harvester and binder has
been wonderfully improved during the
past two years. Only short time ago
the corn crop, the heaviest grown Oh
the farm, had to be harvested by
hand, hill at a time, cut by single
blade. Now machine drawn by two
horses moves along the rows Of stand

water wheel, and men thought they
had reached the limit of power and
invention
Electricity as applied to power is
only twenty-five years old. 1t is now
used on thousands of farms where the
supply from electric railways or other
large plants is available, but the cost
of installation and the high price of
electricity have so far prevented rapid
development for farm work
The gas engine dates from 1871,
but it was not brought into econom-
ical use and practice until 1882 Dur
ing the past 80 years hundreds of
patents have been issued for gas en-
gines and they are now used on thou
sands of farms in nearly every state
IN the Union
The fuel used in gas engines is gas
oline and the cost Of running these
machines has been so greatly reduced
during the past ten years, and they
are made in such large variety of
sizes that they are available to almost
every farmer, no matter what his re-
Quirements may be. The traction en-
CINE has been a potent factor in the
rapid development of the big farms
of the west. Formerly a man with a
team of horses was able to turn over
an average of 21a acres a day; now
a gang of plows hitched to traction
engine, managed by two men, will
turn over from % to 80 acres per day

ing corn, cuts the stalks, binds them
in bundles while standing upright, and
slides them to the ground ready to
be put up into shocks. This means
better fodder because it is cleaner and
cures better.
The modern manure spreader has
yearly added millions to the country's
crops. Instead of hauling out the &C
emulation of the barns and stables
and distributing it over the fields in
chunks or scattering it along the rows
OF corn, manure is now loaded into
box mounted on wheels and when this
is driven onto the fields a set of 70
tary fingers rolls the manure out at
the tail end of the box, distributing it
evenly over every portion of the
ground.
The manure spreader makes it pos
sible to use manure as fast as made,
and in this way the highest possible
value is obtained from it. This ma
chine makes manure go very much
further than when distributed in the
old way. Perhaps it is not saying too
much to assert that it is the most val
liable machine in use on the farm to
day.

the past few years has been a hard

MENTAL ACCURACY
Greatly Improved by Leaving Off Coffee

The manager of an extensive cream
cry in Wis. states that while a regu-
lar coffee drinker, he found it injuri-
GUS to his health and a hindrance to
the performance of his business du-
ties.
ct impaired my digestion, gave me
a distressing sense of fullness in the
region of the stomach, causing a most
painful and disquieting palpitation of
the heart, and what is worse, it mud
died my mental faculties so as to seri-
ously injure my business efficiency.
II finally concluded that something
would have to be done. I quit the use
of coffee, short OF, and began to drink
Postum. The cook didn't make it
right at first. She didn't boil it long
enough, and I did not find it paIatable
and quit using it and went back to COT
fee and to the stomach trouble again.
"Then my wife took the matter in
hand, and by following the directions
On the box, faithfully, she had me
drinking Postum for several days be-
for l knew it.
When 1 happened to remark that
was feeling much better than had
had been drinking Postum, and thai
accounted for it Now We have no
coffee on our table.
MY digestion has been restored,
and with this improvement has come
relief from the oppressive sense of
fullness and palpitation of the heart
that used to bother me So note such
gain in mental strength and acute
ness that I can attend to my office
work with ease and pleasure and with
out making the mistakes that were so
annoying to me while I was using
coffee.

This year Young Mems Christian as
sociations are likely, it is said, to
break all records in amount OF money
raised for new buildings The success
ar Philadelphia, when 81 ,O3O, 900 was
secured in twelve days, has given
stimulus both to Young Mems and
Young Women's associations. Added
to it was the $4,000, 900 campaign for
buildings in foreign capitals. Brook
Ign women, with the aid of a few
men, have just secured S415, 900; At
lanta men, 600; Reading, s217.-
600; Elyria, Ohio, 1927 900, where the
committee asked for but S1O0, 600;
Charleston, S. c., $4,000; Raleigh,
y. c.. $4,000; Walla waIla, Wash.
$4,000, and Ishpeming, Mich, s22, 500

Centuries ago men p1owed with
crooked stick and reaped with a sickle.
They are doing the same thing in the
same way today in some parts of the
world, but not in America.
The development of farm machinery
has been very slow. The modern
reaper is only about so years old The
automatic binder came into use as
late as 1877. Gasoline engines on the
farm were practically unknown ten
years ago and the disk harrow, that
most useful of farm implements, has
been used only since 1854
The modern grain header is a new
machine. Our old friend Pliny de
scribes a header which was used in
his time. 1t was "a large, hollow
frame armed with teeth for driving
through standing grain so that the
heads were torn off and fell into the
frame" That is a pretty good de-
scriptiOn of the modern header. In
Plny's time slave and an OK could
harvest as much as an acre day if
they worked hard.
The first reaper was propelled by
horses or oxen and it was death to

HORSE Thieves
Steal ANIMALS

SCHAFER, N. D., Sept. 15.-Some
one stole two valuable horses belong
ing to the Mckenzie county bank of
this place, from a pasture just north
of the town. They also purloined a
three-quarter rig saddle and a bride
belonging to Deputy Treasurer Robin
son.
Printed postcards describing the
stolen property and offering reward
of 1925 for the recovery of the horses
and for the arrest and conviction of
the thief, have been mailed to all
surrounding towns. The horses were
registered Hambleton' stock, a mare
eight years old and gelding three
years old.
Sheriff Jacobson has received in
formation which he thinks will lead
to the recovery of the property and
land the horsethief in the county Jail
within a few days. He left in his
auto today accompanied by Cashier
Gullikson for the west end of the
county.
