FARM TRACTORS TRIED IN
ENGLAND WITH BIG SUCCESS

Two small American farm tractors
have been sent to England, where
they have been given a very thoro
test in the hands of the Cheshire war
agricultural committee, says The
Power Wagon. The machines work
for the farmers on the basis of $4.37
per acre, which is about what the
work costs with horses. The ma
chimes are run for twenty-four hours
at stretch and sometimes the en-
gines run for days without stopping
Work is done at night with the aid
of the headlights provided on each
machine.
The work is done at an average
rate of an acre every three hours on
land where horses could not average
an acre a day. The machines pull
two-furrow American plows turning
16 " Inch burrows from nine to elev-
en- inches deep. The machines are
operated by one man each, the plows
being lifted by the pull of cord.
A four-cylinder engine of twenty
five horsepower is employed. 1t
starts on gasoline and runs on kerr
osene, the fuel being partly vaporiz-
ed by passage thru a coil in the ex-
haust manifold. The clutch is of
the plate variety, the transmission
PROVIDES three speeds, and final
drive is thru worm-gear axle. The
overall dimensions of the machine
are: Length, 8 feet; width, 5 feet 6
inches; height, 4 feet inches. The
consumption of kerosene averages
nine pints per hour.-Denver Post.

HOME ECONOMICS

Pick the peas over, that there
may be no blemished ones among
them, then wash and soak in cold
water over night. In the morning
turn off the water and put them in
the soup pot, with the cold water
and salt pork. Simmer gently seven
hours, being careful that the soup
does not burn. When it has cooked
six hours add the seasoning. Have a
large wooden spoon to stir the soup.
enough to pour. By boiling it may
become too thick; if so, add boiling
water. When thoroly cooked, the
soup is smooth and rather mealy. If
not cooked enough, after standing a
few minutes the thick part will set
tie and the top look watery. At the
end of seven hours strain the soup
thru sieve and return to soup pot.
Beat the flour and butter together
until creamy, then stir into the soup
and simmer half an hour longer. If
the salt pork has not seasoned the
soup sufficiently add a little salt.
For some tastes the soup would be
improved by the addition of quart
of hot milk.
Serve little squares of fried bread
in separate dish.

THAT FATAL NUMBER.

Oh, We motorcycles! Would that
the young, unthinking men who ride
them could but know the anxious
hours a mother puts In just as soon
as her son gets one of the flying
devils"
All Blackfoot is grieved. A terri
BILE accident took place upon her
streets the other day, one of the most
atrocious things our city has ever
known.
The day was glorious and all ma
ture seemed clothed in her finest raj
ments. Never was a finer day for
speeding than that day, and SO some
tyoung men from Pocatello and one
who is very prominent here decided
upon a motorcycle ride. The pace
was moderate at first, but gradually
the throttle was pushed on and on.
Fifty miles. Nothing at ALL" Six
ty miles. well, we can go faster
Seventy miles. why not make it
eighty" Eighty miles, and their
hair begins to stand on end. II feel
strange, as death were near at hand,
wonder why. Say, Bill, don't you
suppose we can go faster?" Eighty
five miles and they hold their breath.
Sad, but there must be an end to all
things and the speed kings stopped at
ninety miles.
BUT!!! "As We sow, SO shall ye
reap"
A motorcycle is not human, it has
no heart, no brain, no feelings, but 1t
has endurance and can stand just so
much. Poor, sad, fated machine had
been tested to the uttermOst end and
its last hours were fading away in
to minutes-yes, into seconds. The
machine we are interested in was ap-
preaching Blackfoot, it has just
struck the pavement and Is now turn
ing the corner of Main and Judicial.
Horrors. What has happened, say
a hundred people. Upon reaching the
scene of the accident ruined mass
is seen. The women shrek, the men
say 1T serves them right" but there
are still some kind, sympathetic souls
in the world who investigate and
learn to just what extent the people
are injured. First they notice shat
the front axle of the machine is brOk-
en- and they wondered what strain
could have, caused it. Could they
have but seen them speeding at nine
ty miles. Happily none is injured,
and as the rider of the motorcycle
arises from his pavement seat, in a
half-dazed condition he brushes off
his clothes, looks around to see who
saw him fall, and says in oratory
that equals that of Mark Antony or
William Jennings Bryan, Ladies and
gentlemen, l have never been SUI
perstitious man. I felt myself above
it; but / feel called upon to blame
this accident to the state. They
should not issue such licenses" And
looking around we beheld the num-
Der to be 313.

amendment to the food bill repeating
that clause of the 32O-acre dry farm
homestead law which required nom
resident homesteaders in Idaho to
live within twenty miles of their
lands. rs#
This requirement does not apply to
other states, and its enforcement in
Idaho, the senator said, was retard-
