Engine on Farm Is Relieving Horse
Of Heaviest Burdens.
BY H. H. MUSSELMAN,
of the Michigan Agricultural College.

its worth, but many are looking for
ward to its advent with the keenest
interest. Can such a machine find a
field of usefulness, and If so what
would be the basis of its adoption?
Suppose we give the matter of the
amount of power furnished some con
sideration and in so doing leave out
all other factors. We will compare
roughly the power furnished by the
tractor with that furnished by the
horse. At present the unit of power
is the horse. This unit may be com.
bined into the two, three and even the
four-horse team. The latter is about
the limit of power that one man can
handle advantageously. The averase
iorse is able to develop nearly unit
horsepower when used continuously
One horsepower here is intended f
mean the unit used in measurin'
work. A man then driving a four
horse team would be able to contro
the energy equal to four-horsepower,
If he were using a 20-horsepower trac-
tor which should develop, roughly
speaking, about so per cent Of the TO-
tai horsepower at the draw bar, he
should then have from six TO ter
horsepower available for effective
work with the engine working a. some.
where near its full load All othe,
things being equal, the balance woul'
be in favor of the tractor, since
would enable one man to control a
greater amount of power. Aside from
the question of power furnished there
is a question of adaptability which
the manufacturer is assidu1usly Work.
ing out. An example Of what we
mean by adaptibility may be shown
by the following: A four-horse team
may be divided and each horse OF
unit used complete in Itself this adapt
ing it to smaller yet important details
of work. In the tractor this would
manifestly be impossible, but on the
other hand the tractor, through it's
construction and efficiency, would be
found especially valuable for belt work
where horses can be used to very
little advantage. There are many
questions of design such as types Of
engines, gears, cluthes. height and
width of drivers, kind of Jugs for ef-
fective traction, weight, ETC., which
time and experience together must de-
termine. If, however, we can add to
the size and adaptibility of the now
commonly understood and used gas
oline or kerosene engine, obtain fLel
at reasonable cost and shift a pro.
portionately larger share of the work
upon this unfeeling machine. then it
will surely find favor. Old Dobbin will
not be supplanted, but relieved of his
heaviest burdens as he has relieved
man of his.

Cooperative Creamery Ideal.
BY w. 3. LIVERANCE.
OF the Michigan Agricultural College.

| creamery with each individual a part
owner can be much more critical of
the products taken in, and as a conse.
quence better butter is made and the
top market price received.
Many cooperative creameries have
been absolute failures. This may have
been the result of one or more of
many causes. A promoting company
may have organized the company in
community where there was not
enough cows kept to insure its sue
cess. Possibly it was not due to an
insufficient number of cows, but to
the fact that the promoters followed
their usual custom and charged an ex.
orbitant price for the building and
equipment. These two factors have
been the greatest curse to cooperative
creameries, and the community desir-
ing cooperative creamery Shout,
never ask or accept the aid of a pro-
noting company
Very often the failure of a cooper.
alive creamery is due to mismanage-
ment, the person selected to oversee
the business affairs OF the company
being incompetent due to lack of ex-
perience along creamery lines. The
creamery manager should have had
actual practical experience in butter
making and understand every detail
OF the business. The best cooperative
creamery managers are butter max
ers. A good, thoroughly competent
man should be engaged at a liberal
salary to look after the entire bust.
ness OF the creamery. With such a
man its success is practically assured.
A factor working very detrimentally
to the cooperative creamery is the
lack Of unity and cooperative spirit
among farmers. This is a very serious
condition, but Is generally due to the
lack of competent head, and i'm
creamery organization of farmers. II a
strictly reliable manager is engaged
there is little trouble on this score.
AS previously mentioned. the CO.
operative creamery is the ideal con-
dition. The leading dairymen in each
community should get together to talk
over the matter and secure the sery.
ices of some one from their dairy
school or the state dairy and food de
partment to assist them in the organ
iaation. II will pay them not only in
securing sure market for their dairy
product but market that will guar
antee better returns.

n HE old saying that "in union
there is strength" is nowhere
more apDlicable than in a farm

~ HE old saying that "in union
there is strength is nowhere
more applicable than in farm
ing community. Cooperation in bust
ness means stability Nowhere is
this better illustrated than in the little
country of Denmark, where the farm
ers unite in all matters and secure
advantages that the individual could
rot get. In our own country where
farmers organizations have been at
tempted the results have been very
satisfactory. At Lawton, Mich, the
grape growers organized in cooper
alive way to dispose of their product
and were so successful that they have
received far better prices than ever
known before. Not only have good
prices prevailed, but a greater sta
bility and surety has been given to
disposal of their fruit.
The ideal creamery is the cooper
alive one. 1t is ideal because it re-
turns all the profits from the manu-
facture of dairy products to the pro-
Queer. The private creamery owner
is receiving a good pro in the man
ufacture of the cream fran farms. He
gets his returns from the overrun of
the butterfat delivered, and IL means
about four or FIVE cents for each pound
of fat delivered This, of course, does
not mean a net profit, but after all ex-
penses are deducted II means good
profitable return
Well.operated cooperative cream
cries oftentimes pay their patrons two
to three cents more per pound OF fat
than do the private creameries. This
is because that profit that has been
going into the pocket of the individual
owner Is now turned back to the
farmer.
A better grade of butter can be
manufactured at the cooperative
creamery than at the private plant.
Creameries as a whole are making
much poorer grade of product than in
former years, not because the maker
is less proficient, but because of the
poor quality of cream received from
the farm. Where cooperation Is estab-
lished and each patron realizes that
his returns depend upon the quality
of butter manufactured at the cream
cry he can be taught the necessity
for better care of his cream. A pri-
yate creamery, because OF sharp COM
petition, is forced to take cream of
poor quality, but the cooperative

The history of manufactur. show S
the same course. We are told that
the extended use of power has made
the work of the world less arduous
and shortened the hours of labor.
Mans progress depends largely upon
his capacity to do work, which is the
result of the expenditure of energy.
The use of power has multiplied his

find the man with wits keen to direct

TAFT TRAVELS
ABOUT KANSAS
Visits Twelve Towns and Three
Congressional Districts.
RECEIVED BY LARGE CROWDS
Attitude of Sunflower State, Known
as Stronghold of Insurgency, Is
Sometimes Contradictory but
Favors President.

Kansas City, Mo-, Sept. 26.-Presi.
dent Taft had kaleidoscope view OF
insurgent Kansas. His program car
ried him into twelve towns and
through three congressional districts.
His reception by the people was as
large in numbers as Governor Stubs
In his qualified greeting to the presi.
dent had expressed desire for Whole
towns seemed to be gathered at the
stations enroute to greet him. Elk.
cept in perhaps two instances there
was not a noticeable difference be-
tween tie warmth of his reception in
Kansas than IT. the other states which
was undoubtedly e surprise to every
one accompanying the president, per.
haps including himself.
Mr., Taft ended his speech-making
or the day with his address before
the conservation congress here, and
surprise, for instead of carrying off
the preservers of our resources to the
abstruse problems of the Alaskan coal
fields he babe them keep their atten-
ton at home and see to it that the
American farmer was shown the way
to increase the products of his lands
In race with the increase Of the coun-
try's population.
The great accomplishment for Mr..
Taft was that he brought the people
out to listen to him, and secured their
thoughtful attention, while he told
them of his issues.
The way that Kansas audiences re-
ceived the president is interesting.
When he entered Coffeyville in the
morning at o'clock the people were
lined along the streets. There must
have been some 10000 to see him.
About the only enthusiasm he aroused
was among the school children, who
had been given holiday to see the
president.
Then he was taken to the plaza for
O speech. He had crowd of several
thousand packed in the public square
to listen to him. Mr.. Taft spoke on
the tariff And they listened to him
thoughtfully. They cheered him mod
erately, but it was not speech to call
for much applause and he won his
point in getting their attention in his
address which was only a short yer.
sion of his Grand Rapids address.
President Taft has never had as
large crowds to greet him proportion
ate to the size of the towns, in any
state on this trip as he had on this
day.
In Independence Mr. Taft spoke on
marriage and divorce at the request
OF Representative Campbell. Though
he had not time enough for very
extended discussion he said much that
was to the point. This proved good
topic. For this speech Mr.. Taft was
cheered enthusiastically.
The president in his address here
covered generally the ground OF his
speech at the Syracuse state fair.
The impressions gained upon the at
titude Of this state towards the pres
ent administration are varied and
often conflicting. Generally indica'
tons are better than were expected
by the members Of the presidential
party ard indicate a slow but steady
improvement in the situation here
from the presidents viewpoint.
