FACTORY EQUIPMENT.
Improved Methods Have Increased e..
f~iciency and Output.

The manufacturer Of today Is looking
for production first. last and all the
time, and he hesitates ut nothing which
will increase his output and improve
the productive efficiency OF his factory.
The development Of the factory Itself
has kept pace with the improved meth
eds Of manufacture. and it has changed
from a griny. ill-lighted place with oily
floors and smoky windows. to a clean.
we'll lighted and roomy building. with
floors which are swept and cleansed
daily. The change In machine tools IN

has been very nearly eliminated.
Guards are provided for the safety Of

tention. Individual motor drives are
now obtainable OH any Of the modern
machine tools. and progressive manu-
facturers are tending more and more
to adopt this method of developing
power. Without q doubt the time In

factory will have entirely dispensed
with cumbersome line shafting and
commensurate and will have adopted
the individual motor drive 70 the exclu-
sion Of the old methods.
In connection with improved methods
Of manufacture, w must not forget
the important factor Of high speed
steel, which has revolutionized cutting
speeds. and has thereby greatly in
creased production. As a matter Of
fact, the advent Of high speed steei
has been one Of the primary causes
influencing the development Of the
modern machine tool.

to six feet in dia meter. With proper
clearing these logged OF lands are
found to BE- very valuable for agricul-

Many methods have been employed
for freeing the lands from stumps and

and pulling either by horse machine or
donkey engine. or these the burning
NJ Of the roots is the most favored
method. and a special machine has
been devised for this purpose.
The use Of the burner Is particularly
simple. A hole is bored down through
the center Of the stump. and u small
stick of powder is employed to split It
apart. This splitting. while not entire
