gained from their use. A number of
manufacturers have endeavored to pro-
duce a tractor that will meet the re-
quirements of the smaller farmer, par
ticularly those of the middle West and
some of them have succeeded reason
ably we'll. .~>.'@
Wallace's Farmer recently gave an
account of the successful use Of one OF
these machines by R. T. Malley, an
Iowa man. who has 160-acre farm.
His 3O-horsepower tractor this year
has done the work for which six
horses were required formerly. His
chief reason for displacing horses by
a mechanical tractor was the fact that
reliable men to assist in carrying on
his farming operations could scarcely
be obtained. With the tractor he is
able to do a large part of the work
himself and is obliged to hire but
little help.
Besides using the tractor in the
preparation of his soil, and in plant
ing, cultivating and harvesting his
crops, he uses it for hauling on the
road grading and for doing various
kinds of work about the farm for
which horses ordinarily are used. His
machine weighs about 4,200 pounds
and has 4O-inch tires which distribute
the weight so evenly that in using it
the ground is compacted no more than
it would be by the feet of horses. The
speed can be regulated, fast or slow,
but in order to do good work the ma.
chine cannot be operated at pace
much in excess of that of the ordinary
team of horses.
Naturally a tractor will work most
satisfactorily on farm which is level
or only slightly rolling. The fields
should be long in order that there may
not be too much turning, although
some of the best machines waste little
or no more ground at the ends of the
field than do horses. The success of a
tractor depends altogether on the abil-
ity of the man who operates it. A
man who knows nothing about machin'
cry would probably not succeed with
the best tractor made while a man
who did understand machinery would
have fair success with even poor
machine. The operator should at
least understand how to inspect and
adjust the bearings and the ignition
system and should know enough
about the engine to keep 1t in good
working order.
Before a prudent man invests in
anything of this kind he investigates
it's cost in relation to the advantages
that will accrue from it's operation

lions on his 160-acre farm. The cost
of batteries and oil will total some
thing like $50, while interest and taxes
will amount to about sos and his
81, $50 investment. He estimates the
depreciation at about 10 per cent, the
exact amount depending on the usage
Of the machine and care given.
This estimate, it appears, is much

Setting Aside a Period fol
Thanksgiving Is a Custom
OF Remote Antiquity.

NE idea is prevalent in the Unit
ed States that our Thanksgiving
is peculiarly an American custom
Of New England origin. This is true
in part only. The general observance
through many years of q set day on
which to give thanks to Almighty God
for his blessings has made the custom
distincttvely American; but its origin
long antedates the settlement of the
western continent, and we must look
elsewhere for it. The idea Of Thanks
giving day goes back to remotest an.
tiquity. 1t is part Of natural religion,
and is probably az old as the human
race. In written records, we have
ample evidence that the festival was
celebrated in connection with "the
fruits Of the earth" by the ancient
Egyptians. the Jews, the Greeks and
the Romans. Long before Luther's
revolt from Rome in the sixteenth cen
fury 1t had been observed by the
Christians; and after the Reformation.
Thanksgiving days were in frequent
use by the Professionals, especially
those Of England.
The festival appears early in Jewish
history, and, as it was connected with
the land and it's possession, may have
had Canaanitish prototype. It's cele-
bration was annual, and each festival
continued through seven days. At the
beginning two vessels Of silver were
carried in ceremonious manner to
the temple, one full Of water, the other
of wine, which were poured at the foot
Of the altar Of burnt offerings, always
on the seventh day of the festival"
Plutarch describes this ceremonial,
which he believed was a feast of BAG
chus. He says: "The Jews celebrate
two feasts Of Bacchus. In the midst
Of the vintage they spread tables.
spread with all manner of fruits, and
live in tabernacles made especially Of
palms and ivy together. A few
days later they kept another festival
which was openly dedicated to Bac.
chus, for they carried boughs Of palms
in their hands, with which they went
into the temple, the Levites going be.
fore with instruments of music"
Analogous to the Jewish festival
and possibly borrowed from it was
that Of the old Greeks, the Thesmor-
phia. This was q feast to Demeter,
the goddess Of the harvest. 1t lasted
nine days and consisted of sacrifices
Of the products Of the soil with obla-
tons Of wine, milk and honey" The
ocritus refers to 1t in the Seventh
1dyll," where Simichidas says: Nov.
this Is our way to the Thalysia; for
our friends, in sooth, are making q
feast to Demeter of the beautiful
robe, Offering the first fruits of their
abundance. since for them in boun.
teous manner. the goddess has piled
the threshing floor with barley"
