TRACTION FLOWING.

On the large farms Of the Great Plains
and the ranches of California traction
engines-both steam and gasoline--ars
used to an increasing extent in farming
operations. especially In blowing lond.
The makeshift outfits formerly used for
this purpose have been largely replaced
by heavier and stronger engines and
gang plows especially designed for this
use.
The advantages of traction blowing
are % that the work can be rushed
when conditions are favorable: CD that
the work can be done with a smaller
force of hands, and fewer horses have
to be kept; 90 in bot dry weather en-
gines can be used when horses could moi
stand the work; "a with an engine IL
Is possible to pillow very difficult soils.
and also to plow deeper than with
horses; and (5) under favorable condi-
tions, the cost of traction blowing has
been brought lower than that Of blowing
with horses
The steam engines weigh from 7 to 20
tons, range from 20 to 50-horsepowers
cost from 1850 to 5000. and win pillow
from Is to 80 acres a day.
A traction blowing outfit consists OF

SWEET CIovER AS rHRrILIzEh

Sweet clover is fast coming to the

few years it has been Chased as a trou-
blesome weed by many. / have been
experimenting with different clovers for
several years as to their value as cured
hay, grazing and as a crop to turn under
as green manure.
AS cured hay, sweet clover comes sec

As a green crop to turn under I have

this decays and is converted into humus

The bitter taste that sweet clover

There is in the Second Book of Kings
the record OF an incident which Is a sort
of parable of the benign influence Of
great and good men upon those who come
after them. 1t is written: And Elisha
died, and they buried him. And the
bands of the Moabites invaded the land
at the coming in of the year And it came
TO pass as they were burying man,
that, behold they spied band of men;
and they cast the man into the sepulchre
of Elisha; and when the man was let
down and touched the bones of Elisha, he
revived and stood upon his feet. Gil

Many poultrymen now grind part OF
their chicken feed into a meal SO that II
can be fed either wet or dry in the form
Of mush. 1t has been round that in
forcing chickens for quick growth or
egg-producing, feeding portion or
ground feed is a great help.
Part of the work of digestion has been
accomplished by the artificial grinding
and the hen so fed can use the energy
thus saved for something else. That
is the real advantage OF feeding ground
grain.
The general concensus of opinion sat
the present time, is that the dry mash
Is more desirable than wet. Many prac-
tical poultrymen, however, still prefer
the wet mash. Labor is one Of the
greatest problems that the poultryman
has to consider, consequently II he can
find a method which viii be labor saving
and yet give results. 1t is worth ocnsid-
