tractor pulling two plows at two miles
an hour will do the same amount of
work as one pulling one plow and trav-
cling at four miles an hour, other con-
ditions being equal, and the horse
power developed at the drawbar is the
same, because the element of time en-
ters into the determination of horse
power. The slower any given tractor
is geared to move the greater will be
the load which it can pull at the draw
bar, as it pulls It less rapidly. The
amount of work done and the total
amount of power exerted will remain
practically the same.
It is obvious that in the case men
toned the tractor pulling one plow
and running twice as fast as the one
pulling two plows must move its own
weight over the ground twice as many
times as will the other tractor. If the
weight of the two tractors is the same,
it will be seen that twice as much
power has been expended in moving
the weight of the high-speed tractor
as has been used by the one Of low
speed.
A great many farmers find it diff
cult to understand why a tractor of,
say, ten horse power at the drawbar
will not pull as heavy a load as will
ten horses. This is not because
mechanical horse power is less than
the amount of power developed by
horse, but is because of the fact that
a horse has an enormous overload ca
pacity-that is, a great deal stronger
pull than he should normally main
tain hour after hour.
A tractor, however, has very little
overload capacity when pulling it's nor
NAL load. Thus, if tractor with
drawbar rating Of ten horse power
pulling its normal load of plows un-
der average condition should strike
particularly hard spot where the draft
was double for a few minutes it would
stall; while ten horses under similar
conditions could readily increase
their pull sufficient to meet the in
creased draft.
From this it will be seen that in
cases where the draft will vary (and
this occurs in practically all kinds of
farm work because of grades, soil va.
ration, etc. the load which a tractor
will handle satisfactorily is that which
it can pull UP the steepest grade or
through the toughest soil in the field.
This load may be only half of what it
can pull under more favorable condi-
be apparent that the working load of
a tractor under ordinary farm condi-
tions is considerably less than the
normal load for it's drawbar equivalent
in horses, that is, tractor of ten
horse power on the drawbar will not
pull, except under constantly favor
able conditions, the load which a ten
horse team would normally pull. The
difference might be said to be entire
ly in the overload capacity Of these
two prime movers. With a tractor
it's maximum power is practically it's
normal power because it is capable of
pulling this load continuously but can
not carry anything in excess of this.
On the other hand, the horses nor
NAL load is much less than what he
can do in an emergency.
Until a definite authoritative stand
ard of rating tractors has been adopt
ed, it is recommended that farmers
when comparing different makes of
tractors pay more attention to the
amount of work actually done under
like conditions and with practically
the same fuel consumption than to the
catalogue ratings.

NOTIFIED BUTTER IN WINTER
Defect Is One of Workmanship and
Can Be Overcome by Application
of Proper Methods.
(IFrom Weekly News Letter United States
Department of Agrculture4

CTrom Weekly News Letter United States
Department of Agricultural
Mottled butter is frequently found
on the market att this time of the
year, and, even though it may be of
very good favor, it is strongly dis
eliminated against by the purchaser.
AS this defect is one Of workmanship,
it can be overcome by the application
of proper methods ON the part of the
buttermakeT.
Notifies are caused primarily by an
uneven distribution of salt in the but
ter. This may be produced by INSULT
cient working of the butter or by
churning, washing and working it at
a very low temperature, or by washing
or working it at temperature several
degrees higher or lower than the
churning temperature.
When the quantity of butter made i'll
one churning is much less than usual,
it is necessary to work it a greater
number of revolutions of the churn
than usual in order to produce the
same results on the butter.
Extremely low temperatures of
churning, washing and working should
be avoided, because they produce SO
firm a butter that it is only with great
difficulty that the salt can be worked
uniformly into it. High temperatures
of churning, washing and working
must be avoided to prevent an abnor-
NAL loss of fat in the buttermilk and
also the making of greasy leaky
butter
Great variations in temperature dur
ing the manufacturing process should
always be avoided. Under normal con-
ditions the temperature of the wash
water should be the same as, or with
in two degrees of, that of the butter
milk.
When the churn room is so cold that
the butter becomes chilled before
working is completed, mottled butter
is frequently the result. To prevent
this it is preferable to increase the
amount of working rather than to raise
the temperature of the wash water.
Mottled butter. then, may be pre-
vented by using methods that will in
sure a uniform distribution of salt.

DRINK LOTS OF WATER
TO FLUSH THE KIDNEYS
Eat Less Meat and Take Salts for
Backache or Bladder Trouble
Neutralize Acids.

Uric acid in meat excites the kid
neys, they become overworked; get
sluggish, ache, and feel like Jumps Of
lead. The urine becomes cloudy; the
bladder is irritated, and you may be
obliged to seek relief two or three
times during the night. When the kid
neys clog you must help them flush
off the body's urinous waste or you'll
be a real sick person shortly. At first
you feel dull misery in the kidney
region. you suffer from backache, sick
headache, dizziness, stomach gets sour,
tongue coated and you feel rheumatic
twinges when the weather is bad.
Eat less meat, drink lots of water;
also get from any pharmacist four
ounces of Jad Salts; take a table
spoonful in a glass of water before
breakfast for few days and your
kidneys will then act fine This ia
nous salts is made from the acid of
grapes and lemon juice, combined
with lithia, and has been used for
generations to clean clogged kidneys
and stimulate them to normal activity,
also to neutralize the acids in urine,
so it no longer is a source of irrita-
tion, thus ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, cannot in
jure; makes a delightful effervescent
Whitewater drink which everyone
should take now and then to keep the
kidneys clean and active. Druggists

USING A SEPARATOR

The milk should be strained at once
after milking while still warm. If al

to clog, and too much fat is lost in
the skim milk, and the cold skim milk
when fed to the calves is likely to

During the cold weather, pour lit

before separation. This warns the
separator parts, thereby preventing
clogging and obtaining close skilnming
