MOTOR WAGON OF A SINGLE MOTOR Pillow
SYSTEM.

MOTOR WAGON OF A SINGLE MOTOR Pillow
yond the experimental stage and is In
many respects superior to- that drawn
by steam or gasoline tractors, saving
both time and money.
The electric pillow, blowing four fur.
rows at a time, is drawn rapidly back
and forth across the field by cables
operated by the motors. An average
equipment Of this Kind will plow ar
acre in thirty minutes at a cost Of &c
cents for the power consumed. A
plowman following the single furrow
behind his horses will be eight or ten
times az long finishing the same. field,
with day after day Of physical exhaus.
ton for himself and his team. Yet up
to- the present time no electric pIew has
turned a furrow in the United States.
In the far west gasoline driven
plows, often turning twenty burrows
at once, are in use, but they are. capa.
BILE Of being utilized only over i'm
mense tracts Of land, while. the electric
pillow Is equally suited to large and
small farms.
Electric plewing has been carried on
In Germany Tor fifteen years, and great
strides have. been made, particularly in
the last five years. OF the several sys-
TENS employed the one and two motor
systems are most extensively used. In
both these systems the plow is pulled
across the field by g. cable wound on q
drum.
In the single motor system on one
side of the field the motor is mounted
ON a self propelled wagon, which au-
matically travels forward parallel with
the motor wagon with each new fur
row. The two motor system has two
motors, n on each of two self pro-
PEELED wagons, n Of these replacing
the anchor wagon. The one motor sys-
tenn is lower in first cost, but the other
a be more readily adapted to the
cultivation Of any form Of field
Electric blowing has great advan-
tages owe that by gasoline or steam
engines. With a steam plow, for in
stance, a great amount Of coal and wa
ter must be taken to the field by teams
and drivers which must be paid for.
Electric blowing can be carried on in
practically every kind of weather, even
IN the winter, when steam operated
plows would freeze, and the electric
plow can be used in soft or loamy sol
where horses cannot work and on hilly
ground.
AS far as the cost of electric blowing
Is concerned, experience shows that il
can be done cheaper per acre than by
horses Or steam. The field Of electric
blowing Of today is found principally
In Germany. 1t is an established fact
that American agricultural machinery
in its wide practical application is in
most respects far superior to that Of
any foreign make, and should the do.
nestle manufacturers devote them
selves with the same skill to contrivine
apparatus for electric blowing it will
be only a short time until our farmers
recognize the advantages Of the sys.
TEN. Electric blowing Is not confined
to farms Of large acreage, but may be
carried OF to good advantage on farms
Of small size.

ALFALFA ADAPTED
TO EASTERN STATES
One Of Principal Troubles in
Growing Good Crop Is De-
fiCiency in HumuS.

There will be big extension in the
acreage of alfalfa in the eastern sec.
tion of the United States in the near
future. In many places in that section
there is much the same feeling toward
alfalfa that the farmers of the West
had toward the westward extension of
clover. Many have. the idea that it
can't be grown, and that ends the
matter, in their minds.
One of the principal troubles with
eastern soils is they are deficient in
humus and nitrogen. Nitrogen for
most crops and on most land can be
obtained by the growth of legumes
much cheaper than it can be pur.
chased. In the growing of legumes,
select the one that will produce the
best returns in feed, under most con.
ditions. Alfalfa is the best legume to
grow where it will do well. 1t will
produce more feed that has a higher
feeding value, on land that is adapted
to its growth, than any other legume.
There is no reason why alfalfa
should not be the principal legumin-
GUS crop in the East, on most soils,
just as it is in the West And the re-
turns of the farmers in the eastern
section of the United States would be
much greater If a larger acreage Of
this crop was grown.

SUPPLIES ALWAYS ON HAND
British Claim to Have Made Transport
System to the Front as Perfect as
Is Possible.

When it is mentioned that 1000 tons
of goods-food and other necessities
are sent every day from the base de-
pots to the firing line of the British
army, some idea of the gigantic task
of the army service will be gathered
This enormous weight of goods, says
Harold Begbie, comes almost entirely
from England, for we are not buying
in France even SO perishable a neces-
sity as milk. Vast stores are brought
from England and loaded into sheds
at the base depots.
All day by motor dory and railway
truck supplies for the troops are sent
out from these base depots to stores
as near as possible to the firing lines.
And just as reserves are accumulated
in the docks, SO reserves are accumu-
lated near the front, since an accident
to the railways might cut off the fight
ing soldiers supplies.
On one occasion there was a delay
on the railways of sc hours, but not
only did the soldier at the front get
all his food and ammunition, but he
did not even have to draw on the re-
serves l have mentioned; regimental
stores were sufficient for his need.
Everything goes by clockwork. There
Is no room for an accident.-London

PROVIDE MOISTURE
FOR GARDEN PLANTS
Apply Enough Water to Pene-
trate Roots Instead of
Coaxing Them to Surface.

Use the hoe more; the hose less
A dust mulch is better aid in dry
weather than the artificial shower.
If you must use a watering can, do
It with a will. Give enough water
that the moisture will penetrate the
roots instead of coaxing them to the
surface, there to be the more sus-
ceptible to a protracted drought.
Before the cucumber vines entirely
cover the ground, dig a deep hole be-
tween each four hills and dump into
it pailful of poultry droppings. Then
when vines not thus treated dwindle
for lack of food, these viii find the
nourfshment needed and will continue
to bear large, well-formed fruit in
stead of the defective sort too often
attributed to the effects Of hot
weather.
Gather the cucumbers every other
day and do not let more than two or
three go to seed. The exertion of
maturing a ripe fruit is sufficient to
form many green ones. Even If some
of them do escape your eye until too
large for picking, use them for sweet
pickles, or give them away-even if
it must be to the hogs.
1t is cheaper to buy seed peas than
to waste the exertion of your vines
in trying to mature them. Keep them
picked as soon as large enough for
the table and the usefulness Of the
vines will be prolonged.
