ENGINES INSTEAD OF HORSES
The Gasoline Engine is Now Doing
Lots of Work on the Farm.

While the motor car is taking the
place OF the horse in the cities the
gasoline engine is accomplishing much
the same result in the country. Ma
chine power comes very near being
the most important factor i'll success
full scientific agriculture today, and
while motor or steam hauling has
! been generally adopted only by large
| planters, practically every modern
| farmer uses the gasoline engine for
driving the machinery and doing the
bulk of the heavy drudgery on the
farm.
This machine power rapidly is tax
ing the place Of the horse or mule
| power is shown by the fact that al
most all the implements shown by
manufacturers and the wholesalers at
1 convention of implement dealers in
Kansas City were equipped with at
tachnents for operating them by en-
CINE power That is true particularly
Of the heavier farm machinery, some
of which now is so ponderous that 1t
scarcely could be moved by the mum
Der OF horses that conveniently could
be hitched to it.
The points that recommend the
gasoline engine to the farmer are its
Of gasoline is less costly than the
lraught animals diet of corn, oats or
hay Since the farmer has come to
lcccpt the engine as farm nipple
ment and to understand its operation,
he has applied its power in many in
genious ways probably never dreamed
Of by the manufacturers in the first
instance. 1t is those adaptations that
have effected the greater part of the
changes to power equipment for farm
implements.
The gasoline engine has been

Salaries to be Raised.

Beginning with July |, the salary OF
rpral mail carriers was raised to 81,
600 per year. Considering the number
of serviceable horses they have to
keen and that they are expected to
make their rounds in all kinds OF
weather. there will be very few people
who will consider the new salary too
much.

HARROW ON DRY FARMS.
Homemade Implement Found to be
Effective.

One of the prime requirements for
successful dry farming is effective
tllage implements which accomplish
the greatest results with the least ex
penditure of labor A homemade i'm
plcment, which has been found very
effective in dry farming in Utah. tax
ing the place in a measure of the har
row. disk leveler and weeder, is de
scribed by J. c. Hogeson. of the
Utah experiment station. as follows:
The implement consists OF rect
angle, 10 by feet. made of 2-inch
planks. 8 inches wide To the under
side OF the l0-inch plank are bolted
nine knives made from one-fourth-
inch steel, "a inces long The steel is
bent y inches from one end so hat
il will drop down behind the plank
The knives are bolted to the plank
diagonally at an angle OF IS degree,
by means OF two bolts The bend i,
about 3 inches deep. which allows the
knives to work that distance below
the surface of the ground The long
part OF the steel below the bend j.
sharpened on the front side so that
weeds will be cut. this blade being
about Is inches long The knives in
the front slope to the right. while
those on the rear plank slope to the
left. This arrangement makes it i'm
possible for any weeds to be missed
or any part OF the ground TO remain
unstirred The framework levels the
land and brushes the clods. while the
knives destroy the weeds and loosen
the ground to the depth OF three inch
es and form a perfect mulch.
An improved form OF this nipple
ment is described by Prot Hogen-
son as follows:
The frame of the implement is made
of finch channel steel. 6x4 feet. The
frame is not made solid, but the 6-foot
pieces are fastened to the 4-foot piece.

OUTING OF FRIENDS SCHOOL.

With the entire corps Of teachers, pu-
pills. and quite a few parents Of pupils
participating in an all-day outing. the
country club and playground Of the
Friends School, IN Wisconsin Avenue
Northwest. was formerly opened yester-
day for the school term Of 1928. The

hut this was the first general gathering
Of both grown-ups and children. and
the plan announced by Thomas W. Sid
Well. principal of the school, contem-
plates q series Of just such weekend
picnics for the children-primarily as
counter attractions to the matinees and
other indoor diversions.
A baseball game between two teams,
one composed Of girls and the other
of boys, was the principal attraction
yesterday, the boys being Handicapped
by being required to bat and throw with
their left hands. But even then the boys
FILED up such an overwhelming number
Of runs, that the official scorekeeper al
most lost count. All i've tennis courts
were In use morning and afternoon, and
quite q few Of the pupils were practic-
ing for the school tennis tournament
which Is in prospect later in the term.
At the noon hour all Of the children and
guests surrounded Mrs. Sidwell and a

TO COUNT ALL
RATS IN U. S.
Public Health Service Undertakes
to Get Census of Rodent
Population.

Uncle Sam yesterday undertook the lob
Of counting all the rats in the United
States. Not only will the census of ro-
dents be taken as accurately as II ia
possible to do 1t, but steps will be taken
to get a fairly close estimate Of the
amount of damage that is wroguht by
rodents each year.
Surg. Gen. Blue. of the Public Health
Service, yesterday. addressed an open
invitation to all persons who know any
thing about rats to write to him and
tell him all they know. Whether the
Information covers rats In private
houses. stores, factories. or public
buildings will make no difference. II
will all be welcomed. Housewives who
are annoyed by the pest are invited to
write to the surgeon general whatever
information they have and they will
be assured of a respectful answer. The
most interesting information gathered
Ia on the subject will be made public
at once.
The rat investigation is undertaken en-
tirely for the purpose of ascertaining
how great a factor the rat is in economic
waste. Secretary of the Treasury Mac
Veagh believes for the purpose of con-
serving domestic and business resources
the rat should be wiped out In a letter
to Mr.. Blue. asking that the INQUIRY
be undertaken, the Secretary says that
''the determination Of the rat is un-
qualifiedly advocated from the yfewpoint
of economy, from the viewpoint of public
health, and from the viewpoint Of COM
mon decency."
