In extensive farming has been to do
the cutting Of the grain BY power
The trouble In attaching binders and
other implements to an engine has
lain In the difficulty to remove side
draft. But this has been removed.
Last season found many farmers cut.
ting grain by traction power. AS
shown In the accompanying cuts. Hve
or seven binders can be attached to
one engine. The engine travels down
the side Of the grain field and the
binders follow. each one cutting It's
full swath. The hitch is 80 arranged
that the operator can. by means OF a
lever, throw the binder out or into
the grain. II a binder Is out OF order
It can be run In behind the one ahead
OF 1t. and the whole outfit proceed
without a stop. A heavy drawbar
passes below each binder. This forms
hitch for the next binder, The
draft is thus established direct from
the engine. saving the strain TO the
binder frame that would result II one
binder were fastened TO the back OF
another An interesting Item to note
in connection with the hitch Is that
no side draft is occasioned by the
long string Of binders. This Is due
to the peculiar mechanism Of the
hitch, not easily explained on paper.

INCREASE YIELD PER ACRE
Quantity Of Water Required to Pro
duee Grain Becomes Smaller AZ
Fertility Is Improved.

One Of the most important recent
discoveries In the handling Of, crops
and especially Of grain is that in ref
erence to the relation Of soil fertility
and moisture. Experiments have
brought proof that the quantity Of
water required to produce bushel Of
grain becomes smaller as the fertility
of the soil increases. 1t requires twice
as much water to produce bushel Of
grain on an infertile soil as It does on
fertile soil in good tilth. says the Kan
sas Farmer. Tests showing this re-
suit have been made both In Europe
and America In every case the more
fertile soil. either through tillage or
the use OF manure or OF commercial
fertilizers, the less the amount OF
water necessary for tho production of
each bushel Of grain.
The greater portion Of the plant food
In the soil fs inert until BY deep plow-
ing. thorough tillage and early prepa-
ration It Is made available to the
plants. Such treatment holds moisture
deeper In the soil. the air and the
gases work on the inert earth and the
moisture helps dissolve the plant food.
increasing the number and action Of
bacteria In the soil, these bacteria
manufacturing plant food from the
earth particles.
A wheat grower who gives his fields
the minimum amount Of tillage, only
disking his land. does little toward
making the fertility available and 1000
pounds OF water or more may be re-
quired in his fields for each pound Of
wheat harvested. Tho grower who
follows the plan Of shallow plowing So
cures some increase In fertility. but
not enough to use the moisture to tho
best advantage.
Early preparation Of land. deep plow.
Ing and constant cultivation until II Is

makes the soil 80 fertile that only
about one-half as much moisture is re-
quired to produce bushel OF grain
as 1t required with slight preparation.
Intensive tillage secures double the
service from the rainfall.
Commercial fertilizers and manure.

ated In the soil. have the same effect

Is the surest way to double or treble

This Is the age Of progress. But
with all the worlds advancement In
Industrial methods It was not until
tho last decade that any practical i'm.
proyement over horses for pulling
farm implements was devised. Farm
implements themselves were invented
and lmproved-the binder, the gang
pl0w and the drill-but the practical
value and utility Of each was neces.
sarily limited by the limitations Of
the power used to pull It. Ever since
1t was invented these machines have
been capable Of doing great deal
more work than horses could get out
OF them. The development of the
traction engine enormously increased
the value OF every farm implement
drawn by horses.
Nevertheless even the traction en-.
gine does not completely take the
place Of horses. There are many
places where the horse Is still neces.
sary. but improved machinery is be.
