TRACTOR OCCUPIES
IMPORTANT PLACE
SmaIIer-Sized Machines Solving
Problem on Farm of Com
parativeIy Few Acres. -

fBy e. r. GROSS, Colorado Agricultu-
raj College.)
There is no doubt in the mind OF
the writer that the gasoline or oil
tractor should and does occupy an i'm
portant place in present day agricul-
lure. The smaller size tractors now
being put out by manufacturers are
reducing very materially the size Oh
farm on which tractor may be op-
Grated with profit. 1t is quite certain
that a 16 to 25 horse power tractor
developing to 10 horse power on the
draw-bar can now be operated profit
ably on a 200 to 250-acre farm. The
essential requirements on the part Oh
the farmer who will own a tractor
are: That he understand his ma
chine thoroughly or employ skilled
help to operate it; that he plan care
fully the work so that the tractor can
be kept at work at least as much or
the time as horses would be; that he
have only little more power in the
form of tractor and horses than ne
would otherwise have in the form OF
horses alone.
In the tractor it is well to look for
tractive power with the least possible
weight. Heavy tractors often have
bad compacting effect on the soil. The
greater the bearing surface, the great
er the tractive power and the less
the compacting of the soil. In general
there are three types of traction
wheels: The ordinary wheel with
prominent grouters; the drum type,
large diameter and wide wheel with
small or no grouters; and the creep
ing type of fractions parts.
The reliability OF the tractor can
best be judged by machines of it's
make that have been observed in oper-
alton for some time.

Salt Iicks in Yosemite.

In order that the many visitors at
the Yosemite may have an opportu-
nifty to see some of the wild creatures
which abound in the woods, quanti-
ties of crystal salt were deposited in
many places convenient for deer and
elk and within sight of roads and
scenic irots frequented by tourists.
Yosemite shelters very large num-
bers of harmless wild animals, but few
persons would ever suspect their pres
ence But Yosemite animals are ac-
customed to the sight of men and
are never harmed. Consequently. N
spite of the natural instinct of all
wild creatures to hide from man,
there is every reason to believe that
the salt ticks, which a extremely
popular with deer, will bring many
hundreds of them within view.

OMSK GATEWAY TO MONGOLIA
More Than 100000 People Outfit in
Great City of Siberia
Every Year.

The city of Omsk, Siberia, has be-
come the outfitting point for an ex-
traordinary migration, estimated at
100000 people annually, which pours
into the country bordering on Mon
golia. Notwithstanding official de-
malls, it is known that this great horde
is sweeping across the border into
Chinese territory.
Nothing in Europe or Asia has ever
been quite so like tho springing up of
the great cities of the American mid
die West as is the growth today of
new towns in Siberia. Except that
the tide is moving east instead of
west the movement has many parallels
to the wonderful migration which won
the West for America. There are,
however, two striking differences. The
first is that the pioneering is compare
lively luxurious compared to the
American movement, while the ma
tives instead of being swept aside are
being absorbed by intermarriage with
the settler.
The ten-day journey up the Irtysh
river from Omsk into the promised
land is made by steamboats, which are
the last word in the luxury and con-
venience of river traffic 1t is by no
means a monOtonous journey, as the
river banks swarm with wild fowl and
four-footed game, while the scenery in
many places is wonderful.

The team that does the work for
the farmer during the busy cropping
season deserves good care. In giving
his team proper attention the farmer
shows kind heart and a. wise head.
He thereby conserves the energy of
the faithful animals which enables
them to serve him long time says
a Missouri writer in Farm Progress.
The work team must have good
feed. Musty hay and nodded grain
they will not eat unless very hungry,
and it is harmful to their digestive
organs and they contain practically
no nourishment. Timothy, clover or
alfalfa hay should fill the manger, and
It will keep the team in good shape
when fed in proper quantities. Wheat
and oat straw are good enough for
the horse to sleep on, but very poor
Tor him to live on. During the work
Ing season the team should seldom
be turned on green grass. 1t is too
washy, and the team that works all
lay and tolls all night in the grass
field for ration will not do well. If
one does turn on grass, the team
should be provided with liberal sup
ply of hay just the same.
The best grain ration is one half
corn and the other half oats. The
corn gives needed strength and the
pats act as a laxative. Throw pinch
IF salt into the feed box once each
lay and the horses will be kept
healthy. Should horse have bad
teeth his feed should be ground. All
grain should be fed in good boxes,
for leaky troughs waste much valua-
able feed.
The water for the work team should
be drawn fresh from the well. The
muddy, stagnant water of the pond is
not fit for the work horse. 1t is foul

CLOVER SEED CROP
OF BIG IMPORTANCE
Any Field viii Prove Profitable i
Hay Crop Is Properly Man. :
aged-When to Cut. :,

Save the clover seed this year If al
all possible. Any field of clover will
yield profitable crop of seed, provid
ed the hay crop is properly managed
1t has been proved beyond a question
of doubt that the first crop must be
harvested before the blossoms die
otherwise the seed will not form IL
the second crop. Begin the hay har
vest just as soon as the first blossoms
commence to turn brown if you wish
to secure a full crop of seed.
Clear the hay from the ground az
promptly as possible, says a writer IL
Indiana Farmer IL il is allowed to re
main for even q few days it has
tendency to partially smother the
growing plants, hence reducing theil
vitality to such an extent that the
yield of seed will be materially reduced
in quantity as we'll as quality. 1t does
not pay to jeopardize the second crop
in any manner, for seed purposes wher
the seed is worth in the neighborhooG
of ten dollars per bushel-a price thai
has prevailed for a. number of years
for strictly first-class clover seed. a
yield Of only one bushel per acre Is
profitable.
Glover seed is sure to be an ex
pensive article for years to come be
cause of the increasing demand tha'
comes with a better knowledge OF the
value of the crop for forage and feTtil
ity. Arrangements should be made
early with the owner Of a threshing
rig to thresh the clover seed as soon
as it is in condition after cutting.

seldom drink heartily from any such
filthy liquid. This, of course, means
a reduction in the horses flesh and
strength.
Drinking troughs or tanks should be
kept clean. They get foul very fast
during the hot days of the summer.
Take an old broom and wash them
clean once or twice each week
The horse should have comforta-
BILE stall in which to stand and to
sleep. 1t should be we'll ventilated in
the summer so the horse may eat in
comfort. The stall should also be
cleaned of all filth every day. The
horse that must stand with his hind
parts elevated two or three feet above
his fore quarters cannot enjoy his
feed. Good straw will make a line
bedding for the horse and be con-
verified into rich fertilizer. He will be

The outside world was represented

lucinda, bided his time and refused
TO be shaken off. Half scornfully the
girl allowed him to take her out on
Saturday nights. And all the while
they talked there was a large picture
of Mr.. Dixon in Lucinda's heart.
Mabel Kearney was the girl in
whom Lucinda saw her most danger
Gus rival. Mabel and Mr.. Dixon were
the greatest friends. It was bitter
when Lucinda, approaching the man
ager on some point of business, most
iy invented, felt herself wet sponge
upon the conversation. But though
Mabel, earning fifteen dollars earned
Lucinda's hatred, she seemed blithely
unaware of it. Her friendly greet
ings were gall and NORWOOD to Lu-
cinda's heart.
Lucinda's Paris gown was the
sensation of the Office. 1t was a mod
est gown enough, but it had no bust
ness there. A suddenly acquired
hauteur was also marked feature of
Lucinda in those days. However,
envy as much as mirth was aroused
by her appearance. And so she set
forth to the conquest of Mr.. Dixon.
Mabel Kearney had an attack of
pneumonia in the early days of win
ter, and Lucinda was promoted to her
place 1t almost took her breath
away. The salary was the same, but
the presence of the manager was a
constant inspiration. For the first

left the office; but afterward things
began TO go swimmingly. Dixon. who

night. Mabel's leaving was nothing
to Dixon. And he had resolved that
she should fill her place. He had
talked and joked with Mabel, and it
had all meant nothing!
1t happened that that night Tom,
unable to endure his treatment any
longer, came to Lucinda's boarding
house, resolved to put his fortune to
the final test.
See here, Lucy, he said, taking her
hand in his. Il guess you don't care
for me any more I've tried my hard
est, but if | can't make you love ME,
why, of course, I'll let you go. Do
you think there is any chance for me,
dear?"
Tom, you are so absurd"
"But you have never answered me. "
why should you poster me?"
Tom rose up with dignity and took
his hat. For the first time he was
really angry with her. Lucinda, see
ing his face, felt a new awe of Tom.
Il won't poster you any more,
Lucy" he said but I'm going to
wait one month-just one month, for
you to find out if you can care for me.
| think when you don't see me, per-
haps then you'll be able to know bet
ter. Good-by, dear"
He was gone before Lucinda could
recover her breath. She stamped
when he had gone, and cried. How
she hated him!
And the days passed. There was
no doubt that Mr.. Dixon really cared
for her. It was true he had been
even more animated with Mabel, but
then he cared nothing for Mabel, live
ly little beauty that she was. Lucin-
da felt that she had a great deal in
common with Mr.. Dixon. They drew
very close together in that time of
Mabels illness.
When the day came for Mabel to
resume her place, and Lucinda was
relegated to her old desk, she antici-
pated the time when she would per-
manently be Mr.. Dixon's secretary.
She felt that love such as she hoped
to inspire must be of slow growth.
But when she saw Mabel less ami
mated now, taking Mr.. Dixon's notes,
she pitied her. She had tried and
lost. Lucinda omitted the Paris
gown, which, she had gathered, was
thought too stylish for business. She
could win on her merits now.
About a week after Mabels return
the manager called Lucinda to his
desk.
TITS all right about that position, V
he said, extending his hand to her.
Miss Kearney leaves at the end of
the week, you know, and after we
come back from our honeymoon
what, didn't you know? Why, all the
girls have been chatting me for weeks
about it,"
Poor little Lucinda, shut up in her
fools paradise!
And want you," went on the man
ager. 81 told Mr.. Jaffray you are the
most sensible girl in the Office, and
that we get on famously together
1t was the hardest effort Lucinda
ever made, not to burst into tears in
front of him. But that night, at
home, she realized the depths of her
folly. And, in her humiliation, she
sat down and wrote long letter to
Tom, telling him everything.
That this was the surest founda-
tion for winning back his love was
| evidenced from the fact that Lucin-
da turned the tables on Mr.. Dixon
three months later, when she an
nounced her resignation ''to get mar
ried"
