In 1909 five tractors were exhibited

Danent feature, but failure to find suit

to be abandoned. Not until 1913 was
anything on large scale attempted In
the United States. Then demOnstra-
ton was held at Fremont, Neb., In
which % manufacturers exhibited 80
tractors. From this time on a ma
tional tractor demonstration has been
held each summer, with an ever-in-
creasing number of manufacturers OK
hibiting until at the last show, held
In Salina, Kan, in 1918, over 300 ma
chimes were entered, and SO manufac-
turcrs were represented. A winter
meeting is held each year at which
manufacturers of tractors and &C
cessories exhibit. This show has been
held in Kansas City, Mo-. for the past
four years. Various local shows are
put on each summer, and since 1916
these have continued throughout the
summer, beginning in Texas and con-
tinuing northward. In March, 1919, the
first large demonstration of the year
was held In the South at Macon, Ga,

the possibilities Of tractor farming.

YOUNG PIC CROP
Mothers Milk Is Undoubtedly
One of Best Available Feeds
for Little POrkerS.
sELF,FEEDER MEETS FAVOR
Where Youngsters Have Access to
Corn, Shorts, MiddIiigs, Etc, They
Can Be Weaned Without Maxi
ing Radical Change in Diet

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Many farmers wean pigs at six to
seven weeks Of age, when the brood
sows have good flow of milk and are
capable of maintaining the young In
excellent condition and development
at less expense and trouble than the
young porkers could otherwise be
handled. Their mothers milk is one
of the best feeds available for grow
ing pigs, and consequently it should
be used to the greatest extent posi-
Bile.
When the pigs are from six to
seven weeks old the sow should be on
full feed, unless for some extraOrdin-
airy reason the pigs should not be
weaned until the age of ten weeks,
and in such instances it Is preferable
to allow them to run with their moth
err until they are twelve to fourteen
weeks old. Where pigs are weaned
TOO early serious results often attend,
as the abrupt change in the character
Of the ration many times creates seri-
Gus trouble.
Self-Feeder Is Useful.
Where young pigs have access to
corn, shorts, middlings, tankage, or
fish meal, served to them cafeteria
style in self-feeder where they can
eat 1t ut their pleasure without being
disturbed by other hogs, the young
sters can be weaned at the age Of

Feeder.

twelve or fourteen weeks without
making any very radical changes In
their daily meals by simply allowing
them to continue on the self-service
system. If best results are to be OBJ
tanned, the pigs must gain continuous
ly and uniformly until they are ready
for market. This necessitates an
abundance of feed as well as access
during the grazing season to such val
liable forage crops as alfalfa and red
clover. In sections where these
leguminous feeds cannot be produced,
rye, oats, barley, cowpeas, rape, or any
other grain or grass which will pro-
duce good forage In the locality should
be grown for hog pasture. Hogs like
to harvest their own feed. In addition
to getting the feed in the freshest pos
Sible condition, the young shoats also
derive benefits from the exercise in
rustling a part Of their daily diet.
Watch Pigs Closely.
Every hog raiser Is advised to watch
the spring pigs closely to see that they
are on their feed; that is, that the an
finals have good appetites and eat
their daily allowances of grain and
grass with relish and avidity. If a pig
shows indications of being "ofr feed
his owner should change the ration,
using barley in place Of corn and proN
viding as much skim milk or butter
milk as is available. He should also
provide an abundance Of pure, fresh
water for the pigs as well as plenty
of shade during the hot summer
months.
Freedom from lice means hog COM
fort. This can be obtained by the
plentiful use of crude or black oil
upon the animals as well as in their
quarters and wallows. Natural shade
is always the best, but where this is
not obtainable, temporary shelter from
the sunny smile of Old Sol may be OBJ
tanned by setting some posts to which
crosspieees are attached about 81 to
4 feet from the ground so that tenn
porary roof Of straw or grass may be
provided for the protection of the hogs.

AS previously stated, there was esti-
mated to be between As and 80 firms
or individuals making or attempting
to make tractors in 1909. The office
OF farm management, United States
department Of agriculture, has always
kept In close touch with the tractor in
dustry, and the files show that in 1909
there were 102 firms actively engaged
in manufGct curing tractors and 162
firms and individuals planning to be-
gin In the near future.
Character of Tractor Changed.
In the beginning the tractor was con-
structed to simulate the steam engine
in appearance. AS time passed and
prejudice disappeared many refine
ments took place until today it is
compact, well-built machine capable
Of performing a multitude of opera
tons. The first machines were heavy,
rough affairs, capable of pulling eight,
ten, or more bottoms. IT was soon rec
Ognized that If the industry We're to
prosper n machine would have to be
built which would be practical for or
dinary-sized farms, The result was
that small macllires camo on the mar
ket, built to pull two and three plows.
This type Of tractor appealed to the
small farmer.
There are now more two and
three plow. machines built than Of all
other sizes combined. There are, how
ever, a number of companies still maxi
ing large-size tractor, which is still
used on the big farms Of the North
west and>the PACIFIC coast.
How Tractor Was Transformed.
From the rough Iuachines Of 1908
and 1909 with single cylinders, chain
drive, cast gears, excessive weight, OK
posed working parts, and poor &C.
feasibility have been developed ma
chimes Of light weight with inclosed
working parts, friction and various
gear drives, electric fixtures, radiator
cooling systems, crs ard hardened
gears, multiple cylinders, air cleaners,
Kerosene cdrburctors, one-man control,
and an easy accessib'lity--all this at
price OF one-ha]f to one-fourth of the
early machines.
Owing to varying conditions, there
are two types OF machine on the mar
kct at prescnt--the crawior and the
wheeled type. The purpose Of the
crawler is TO prevent miring down on
soft ground. The same prlaclple was
employed by tanks in the late war.
The wheeled tractors are more numer-
Gus and employ various devices to
obtain traction, such as Tugs. grouters,
spikes, cleats and extension rims.
Again, some wheels have a device Civ
ing stepping arrangement, as in the
PIT wheel, which was developed by
two Italian army engineers. A few
tractors employ both the crawler and
wheel.
Az yet the tractor industry is COM
paratively young, and what its ulti-
mate effect on. farming will be 1t Is I'm
possible to say.
