E MOTOR PL0W.
New Mechanical Aid For Farmer Has
Many Good Points.

~
The latest mechanical aid enlisted in
the service of the French farmer is a
motor pillow. The tractor itself has a
thirty-five horsepower engine, with
cylinders measuring 40 by $50 MILL
meters. Except for the type of radi-
ator employed, it is a perfect standard
chassis as commonly used for bus or
heavy work. The use of a specially
large radiator enable the tractor to
work all day without any rcplenish-
ment of fine cooling system. Apart
from its use as a tractor. the chassis
is provided with a belt pulley for driv-
ing thrashing machines, chaff and root
cutters.
The front wheels are fitted with
transverse webs, so that. no matter
how bad may be the surface, reliable
steering is assured. TIL" back wheels
are entirely Of metal. Upon these also
transverse webs are fitted, so that the
wheels hold on brOken up and fallOw
land. The tractor is fitted with three
forward speeds and reverse.
This machine can be used for plOw-
ing by direct traction when the ground
suitable for this. 1t can also be used
for working all other kinds of agricul-
tural appliances. Again, it IAN be an
ployed for blowing by cable. In this
instance the tractor becomes a wind
lass and by mean of a cable $50 yards
in length actuates the plows. The
WindlasS advances by its own power,
unrolling the cable. Then, standing
still, it draws the pillow toward it,
Which latter turns up over this dis
lance one or several throws, according
to the number of shares. When the
pillow comes up to the tractor the lat
ter advances a further 80 yards, let
ting out the cable, and draws the pillow
up to it again.
To work as a windlaSS the tractor
has to be provided with a rapid
and absolutely eticacious system OF
"ScOtcheS.' This has been obtained
by an ingenious device. At the back OF
the vehicle wedges are suspended or
powerful springs. When these springs
are compressed by the power Of the
engine the wedges fall by their wv
weight and serve as rests for the
wheels. Automatically the whole appa
ratus thus becomes anchored and thu
windlass is free to work quite easil,
and safely. AS soon as the tractor ad
vances the wedges become released
and are pulled back into their origina
position by the power of the engine
