Money Market Easier.

The new financing done this week by
the Pennsylvania and ST. Paul railroad
companies was rather daring stroke of
business, under the circumstances. The
market has been in a very wabbly state
with regard to new issues lately, but both
OF the corporations being of extraor-
binary standing, almost no difficulty was
encountered In making the borrowing.
The success they had has infused new
confidence into the bond market, and at
the prevailing low price much capital is
likely to come out of hiding and find it's
way into the market again. International
banking houses report very much i'm
proved feeling abroad. The New York
money market is working easier, in spite

corn, oats, barley, rye, buckwheat,
cotton. tobacco, potatoes and other
products, the number Of miles OF
weary plodding necessary that the
people of our country may have
their wants satisfied runs up to an
inconceivable total.
The first farm task TO which me.
chan1cal power was generally ap-
pied throughout the country was
threshing grain Most persons IA
miliar with country life who have
reached middle age can remember
when wheat oats, barley and other
small grains were threshed by horse
power with old-fashioned "chaff-
piling" threshing machines. Then
the farmer and his sons or hired
hands spent days or weeks winnow-
Ing the grain with a tanning mill
turned by hand. This laborious and
inefficient method Of threshing and
W1nnowing grain has now been rem
dered practically obsolete In Amer
lea by numberless steam threshing
outfits" that traverse the country
roads throughout the land after har.
vest, stopping at the farms along
their routes and doing the work ct

Ing and cleaning the grain are now
done In fraction Of the time for.
merly required and at much less
COST,
The next innovation In the way OF
power-driven machinery for the per-
formance Of farm labors to come
into general use was the hay and
straw baler, followed quickly by ma
chimes for Smelling corn and shred
ding fodder. These machines, like
the threshers. are taken through
the country by traction engines. and
perform their several tasks much
more quickly. efficiently and eco
nomically than they could be per-
formd by horss.
Then, ten years or 80 ago, an
epoch In Western development was
marked by the Introduction of the
steam plow upon the great farms
and ranches OF the West. However,
coal is heavy and cumbersome and
Ia many regions water is scarce and
precious. So the application Of the
gasoline engine TO farm purposes
was hailed as triumph Of inventive

genius. But the great objection to
the gasoline engine on the farm Is
that gasoline Is an expensive fuel
SO the American inventor perfected
the oil-burning engine. OIL Is the
cheapest and most perfect Of all
fuels. The latest type of oil-burning
engine is as efficient as the gasoline
engine and can be operated much
more economically.
1t now seems reasonable to pre-
dict that the oll-burning engine will
work as great revolution In Amer
lean agriculture as was worked by
the automatic harvester.
One writer has stated the situa-
tion thus: "With horses, every
plow needs a man, but with a good
engine two men can operate eigh-
teen plows and hold controlled in
their hands the power Of eighty
horses that never tire"
On some Of the larger ranches the
power blowing machine Is run night
and day, with only a change Of men.
At night headlight like that OF
locomotive shows the way. Some
times the number of plows Is re.
duced and grain drills and harrows
are attached behind the plows. The
land Is thus plowed, seeded and har-
Towed with one passing Of the en-
CINE. Then, when the grain Is ripe,
the same engine may be hltched be-
hind from three to six combined har-
Yesters. The engine threshes and
winnows the grain and is sometimes
used for hauling 1t to market, easily
drawing from seven to ten heavily
loaded farm wagons. II agriculture
is to score thu same progress that
has been made In almost every other
line Of human endeavor and If the
rise in the cost OF the necessities OF
life is to be checked, power farming
Of this description must become the
rule instead Of the very rare excep-
tion.
The only valid objection to the
general use OF mechanical power on
the farms is on the ground Of the
cost Of suitable traction engines.
Some Of the steam traction engines
now used for plowing on the great
plains region cost S2,500 each. They
are similar In construction to freight
locomotives and will climb steep

hills with ease. None but the own
ers of great ranches Of thousands Of
acres are justified in putting so
large sum of money in traction
engine, even though, unlike the
horse, 1t "eats only when 1t works"
But this objection Is being over
come IN the West by men who have
bought power plowing Outfits" and
who travel from farm to farm plow-
Ing on contract at stated sum per
acre.
Then, too, much the same sort Of
an evolution that has taken place In
the automobile trade Is In progress
in the manufacture Of power farm
Ing machinery. Lighter and cheaper
engines, that are still capable Of
performing the work on an ordinary
farm with ease and efficiency, are
being manufactured.
Mechanical power Is employed in
the West and Southwest to a great
er extent for farming purposes than
In any other part of the country.
For several years a large ranch In
Montana has dispensed with horses
entirely, employing power-driven
machinery for all purposes for which
horses are usually considered neces-
sary. 1t is truly "horseless farm"

~ has been said that there Is moth
ing so backward as farming,
y that while every other occupa-
don has taken advantage Of the
sreat modern advance in mechan-
icsl Invention the average farmer
sdIl depends largely upon his own
muscles and those Of his farm ami
malls much as his predecessors did

Examiners into the causes for the
rapid continuous rise in the cost Of
living have found one factor In this
ackwardness Of the farmer. Prices

the drudgery Of the farm, which

In 1898 Sir William Crookes, pres
tdent Of the British Association fof

piled statistics that appeared to
prove that widespread famine was
imminent. At that time the worlds
wheat acreage was about 163, 100000
acres and the annual production
amounted to about 2,070,000,000
bushels. He asserted that tho
worlds wheat acreage could not be
materially increased and that IN
thirty years the worlds require
ments would call for 3,260.000.0o0
bushels of wheat annually. To pro-
duce this quantity Of wheat from
the acreage available would call for
the addition to the soil Of 2,000, 900
tons Of nitrate annually. He be-
lleved that this quantity OF nitrate
could not possibly be obtained, hence
the conclusion was inevitable that
widespread famine was certain In the
not distant future for the human race
Only fifteen years have passed
since the British scientist made pub
lie his dismal forebodings. Yet the
worlds wheat acreage has already
increased to something like 235,000,-
coo acres and the annual production
to about 3.500.000.000 bushels. The
nitrate beds Of Chile are still far
from exhaustion and a practicable
method Of extracting nitrogen from
the atmosphere has been perfected
and is used on a commercial scale.
The problem Of the worlds food sup
ply for centuries to come involves
no question OF scarcity of land or
shortage OF fertilizer. 1t Is solely
problem Of the economical and eff
cient application OF mechanical
power.
