through the fields along with the sep
arator, or thrasher, thus freeing the
other tractor to haul the grain to mar
ket. The thrashing was done in the
field, of course, while the other tractor
was continuously employed In drawing

way station. The manager Of large
Red valley farm is quoted as saying
that with three tractors, two Of thirty
horsepower and one Of twenty-five
horsepower, he broke. prepared and

were set to breaking. each pulling
eight sixteen-inch plows. and the 9th

UTILIZING MOTOR POWER

1000 Acres In Sixty Days.

The story of the Iowa farmer who

of automobile not only as means OF
conveyance, but as motive power to

Forrest Crissey has disclosed In the
Saturday Evening Post the extent OF
the revolution being worked in farm
ing by the use of gas engines-"gas
tractors" as they are termed.
Mr.. Crissey cites the case Of farm
err who bought two gas engines and
two engine plows, each capable Of
turning, six burrows simultaneously,
ran his outfit night and day. blowing
by acetylene light at night. and In
sixty days had broken and narrowed

acres had been plowed he rugged a

by a gang Of drills. seeding from forty
to fifty acres day. At harvest time
each tractor was used to pull five eight
foot harvesters. cutting swath of
forty feet. Harvesting wheat, the two
tractors hauled six eight-foot binders
each, SO that two swaths each cleared
ninety-six feet Of land. In preparing
the land six four-horse disk harrows
were arranged to overlap, so that the
land was subjected to double disk
ing and In a second seeding Ave twelve
foot drills were hauled abreast, so that
an area sixty feet wide was seeded
simultaneously.

VALUE OF COOPERATION.

Not so long ago a farmer who
attended one of the corn shows
thought he would play a sharp
trick on his neighbors by pur-
chasing a lot Of seed corn that
won a big prize. paying therefor
something like $40 an ear. This
he planted without speaking OF
his purpose to any one. with the
hope Of capturing a prize the
succeeding year. What was his
chagrin to find his crop poorer
than before. A neighbor casual
ly remarked to him that he
could not understand why his
corn was so fine when he had
paid only dollar or so n bushel
for the seed. This further en-
ragged the smart farmer, and he
went to the next corn show and
gave some of the people there
"piece Of his mind" He was
asked what kind Of corn his
neighbors planted. and when he
told Of his methods and Of the
success of his next door neighbor
the people laughed. why"
they said, che has been getting
your good corn and you bis.
Now, If all of you would plant
good seed corn all Of your crop
would be good. but II some plant
good and others bad the wind
will carry the bad pollen to the
good corn, and vice versa. The
farmer with the poor seed will
get good corn. and the farmer
with the good will get poor corn"
This proposition was laid be-
fore all Of the farmers in the To-
cality in question, and the result
was that farmer No. / the next
year won handsome premium
at the international corn show
and the year following first prize.
His neighbors were also substan-

Warming to Horse Breeders.


"From some sections Of the irrigated
belt come reports that large percent
age of colts are born dead or weak and
deformed," says an Idaho bulletin. In
many Of these cases the farmers were
feeding alfalfa hay alone to their
mares. This Is mistake. Alfalfa
hay contains a much larger proportion
of nitrogen than the mare In foal needs
or can use. The surplus must be elm
mated as a waste. laying a heavy bur-
den on the digestive tract and the kid

to combine this with wild hay. timo-
