Cost Of Operating
Farm Tractors

II takes two and one-half gallons OF
gasoline and one-ifth Of a gallon OF
~lubricating oil to pillow an acre of
ground In actual practice. This is the
average opinion OF . large number of
owners and operators of all sized trac-
tors In Illinois and Kansas as shown
In a recent survey made of tractor
owners In these two states by the u.
s. Dept. OF Agriculture and published
In Farmers Bulletin No. 719.
The cost Of repairs and of keeping
the tractors running averaged annual
close to four per cent OF the cost Of
the tractor. For a tractor that cost
$1,000 one should figure On about $40
a year for repairs. The size Of the
tractor made very little difference In
the fuel cost per acre plowed while
the repairs on the 2-plow tractor ran
somewhat higher than on the 3 and
l-plow machine.
These men generally agreed that II
Is more economical to make some
study Of tractor operation before buy
Ing than to experiment with their own
machines. The next best thing would
DO to hire an eficient engineer to run
the tractor and work with him until
thoroughly familiar with II.

FIRST LINOTYPE
NOW in MUSEUM


The first machine from which limo
type bars or slugs were cast has lately
been deposited In the division OF
graphic arts of the United States n
tionaI museum, AMI III located In the
Smithsonian building at Washington
This particular idea. the invention
OF Mergenthaler. revolutionized print
ing: It was the first machine TO cast a
complete liue Of type ready to prin'
from.
There are three machines exhibited
in the smithsonian halls, which are
! closely related to the development OF
this contribution to the art OF print
ing. Two Of them are early models,
which indented strips Of papier mache
(matrices), from which stereotype
casts were made from.
The third Of the series exhibited
was the first machine from which limo
type bars or slugs were cast. On the
printing face the characters formed a
complete and solid line of type, sim
liar OF a line OF individual type solder
ed togethered.
Describing the initial test of this
linotype machine, July, 1884, in the
Biography OF .Ottmar Mergenthaier
and the History of the Linotype" the
author explains that the spectators
gathered at the shop on Bank lane in
Baltimore. Md. before the inventor
was ready and had to wait until he
made some adjustments.
steam Turned On
Finally everything seemed to be
ready. Mr.. Mergenthaler called for
the steam power to be attached. He
composed a line, removed the stopper
from the metal pump and touched
ths line key. Smoothly and silently
the matrices slid into their places,
were clamped and aligned, the pump
discharged its contents, a finished
linotype, shining like silver. dropped
from the machine and the matrices
eturned again to their normal posi-
ions. All this was the work Of blu,
L. seconds"
This machine was never used com
~nerically, but 1t cast a number Of
slugs and articles were set up by this
machine from which prints were
taken f. When It was completed tn,
National Topographic Co. had higl
hopes that 1t would be a practical ma
chine, but a number of defeats devel
oped and II proved too slow. Tn
scheme was finally abandoned in favo,
OF a single matrix-that Is. q shor
bar with one character stamped upol
1t, such as is used today. instead OF
long bar with the whole alphabet
The application or the patent on thi'
machine was filed August 80, 1884
but was not granted until March 8
1885.

Glorified Junk.

"The Queerest thing about the war to
me-" said junkman whose business
runs into five figures annually, us the
fact that 1t has made even old tin cans
valuable. One Iowa junkman who had
been holding his stock Of scrap iron,
old brass, rags, rubber and paper for
higher prices sold his boarded junk at
the end of the first year Of war for
100000. Junk is tremendously valu-
able. Now attempts are being made
to salvage the tin film on so-called
tin cans by melting them. Tin is
very valuable as a war metal and the
despised tin can is becoming an eco
nomlc asset where formerly 1t was u
liability. Rags, tin and battered old
copper boilers, brass condlesucks
stove lids and old newspapers, rubber
wires, aluminium and lead have dou-
bled and quadrupled In price since the
great war began"
