TRACTOR -TILLER
makes FARMING EASY
Demonstration on Scott Farm
Gives AgriculturiStS a New
Business Insight
CAN USE MACHINE
ON ALL CROPS

In the presence OF a number of far
mers and other interested, a demon
stration was given on Saturday after
noon of an Allis-C Chalmers rotary till
Ter on the farm of Henry p. Scott,
near Delaware City. Mr.. Scott has
purchased this machine and will use
it on this farm this fall 1t is the first
tiller of its kind that has been oper-
ated east of the Mississippi river, al
though it has been used for expert
mental work in the northwest. The
work of the tractor was successful.
Among those who witnessed the
demonstration were: Former Judge
David T. Marvel James p. Winches-
ter Of Wilmington, James Clark, DR..
Belville. Amos Collins of Delaware
City, Prof. Harry Hayward. A. e.
Grantham and w. A. Litner of the
Delaware College Experimental Sta
tion, and Robert Weimer. Earl Dickey
and Howard A. Bradwater, agricul.
tural students of Delaware College.
Previous to the demonstration some
of the visitors we're entertained at
luncheon by Mr.. Scott and his son
Harry.
The tractor demonstration took
place an the field north Of the Della
ware City road and east of the rail-
road tracks. II consisted OF prepar-
ing the seed bed on soy-bean stub
BILE and also stubble covered on corn
battle-ground and sod. In preparing
sod ground, n is necessary to 60 over
it twice, once to break up the sod
and once to prepare the seed bed.
The seed bed can be prepared from a
depth OF one inch to one foot and
consequently the tiller is adaptable to
all kinds of crops.
Those who saw the demonstration
were surprised and much pleased
with its work as it shows great pos
sibilities. The machine was operated
by c. H. Margell, a gas engine expert,
who will instruct Mr.. Scott's farm
hands in operating it.
The tractor has one steering wheel
in front and two driving wheels in
the rear. feet inches in diameter
by II inches in width The drivers
have a cast steel rim with horizontal
triangular projections on both sides
OF the fiat rim. The projections come
into action more and more. the softer
the soil. The weight of the machine
with the tiller is about $500 pounds.
The wheels of the tractor are 6 fee.
10 inches, from center to center. The
whole machine with the tiller is IA
feet over all. The tractor is equipped
with a cylinder vertical motor, Civ
Ing 30 horse power. It is water-cool.

AT THE MAJESTIC.

Few phOtOplay gOers have had the
opportunity Of seeing an Ibsen drama,
and the showing Of "Peer Gynt" to-
day at the Majestic will give them
the much desired opportunity Of see
ing the real work OF a drama.ist Of
the old school portrayed in film for
the first time by real photoplay ac-

seeing, as no expense has been spared
in making the production well worth
showing and a real credit to the film
producer. There is an all star cast,
including Cyril Maude, Myrtle Sted-
man and others, who will appear in
this world renowned drama.

life indeed We have miniature
portrait of these two sisters when
little girls. They are standing side
by side, each holding beautiful
little bouquet of flowers. The pic
ture is indelibly impressed on our
mind AS they grew from childhood
to womanhood, gradually realizing
the responsibilities of life, side by
side they stood in enduring sister
hood.
So on and on in life, and when
called upon to answer the last sum-
mons she entreated her physician
that she might be taken home to her
parents, whose memory was so
precious to her poor tired spirit.
Home sweet home, mid the roses and
honeysuckle vines, where the mag
nolia boughs resounded with the
lullaby of the mockingbird, and
calm nightfall soothed tender nature
in sweet repose.
Grace loved her church and It's
sacred memories. She was often in
her place at Pleasant Valley, and in
after days it was her souls delight
to get in the buggy with her papa
and return with him to mother,
home, church and friends. She felt
that ere long the silver cord would
be severed and her spirit would be
free from the battle so bravely
fought.
ASLEEP in Jesus blessed sleep"
Leaves have their time to fall,
And flowers to wither at the north

And stars to set
