Fashion is inclined to be tolerant

Ing several paths to be favored, so long
as they lead to the same goal. And the
goal in afternoon gowns is styles
that are utterly feminine. One may
reach it by travelling the rich, sleek,

leads through clouds of thin, misty
materials. Even the silhouette varies

"The college of agriculture did not
in my opinion, get as effective results
from any other equal sum of money
which it expended as 1t did from the
amount of money spent on boys clubs.
"These clubs have been running long

A tractor may be either a profitable
or an Improbable investment. Each
farm has Its own peculiarities and a
farmer must weigh the advantages and
disadvantages carefully before buying
tractor He should study the ex-
oeriences of those who have used trac-
tors in farm work, paying particular
attention to those whose farms con-
FORM most nearly to his own in size
and system of cropping. This is adj
vice from specialists of the United
States department of agriculture.
On an average, one farm in 80 in the
United States now uses a tractor. 1t
has been estimated by manufacturers
hat over 100000 tractors Will be made
his year. 1t behooves every farmer
contemplating buying one to study his
farm problems from every angle.
Advantages in Using Tractor.
The advantage of a tractor lies not
20 much in the reduction in the cost of
Icing a piece of work as in being able
% do 1t In less time. Thus the num-
per of acres farmed can be increased
md the work done quickly. Often the
saving of time is the important factor
IN making a profit on the crop grown.
A tractor can be kept on the job in
lot weather when horses are at a dis
advantage. 1t can do heavy work and
10 1t rapidly, thus covering the desired
acreage in the proper season. 1t saves
nan labor, thus enabling the farm to
De worked with less hired help. 1t
sometimes decreases the number Of
horses needed, thus saving both invest
nent in horses and the expense of their
iced.
The tractor owner can increase his
income somewhat by doing custom
work of his neighbors; but this Is
often q doubtful practice. Outside
work must be done at a time when it
will not interfere with the necessary
work on his own place or he will lose
more by neglect than he makes by the
custom work.
Disadvantages Mentioned by Owners.
The packing of damp soil and the
difficulty of efficient operation are the
chief disadvantages mentioned by trac
.Or users. Where early spring work Is
necessary. the packing of the soil, espe-
,iaIly a heavy soil, is d serious OBJ
lection.

certain amount of knowledge on the
part of the operator can scarcely be
considered a disadvantage. The train
ing can be easily obtained at small ex-
pense. But too many men attempt to
run tractors without learning anything
about them except the starting, stop
ping and shifting gears. The i'm
portant thing is the ability to detect
trouble the minute 1t begins to de
velop, and know how to remedy II
promptly instead of allowing 1t to run
along until an expensive delay results.
1t pays to spend a few days gaining
experience under a competent instruc-
tor. 1t is unwise TO attempt TO run a
tractor without such preparation. With
the increasing use of tractors, as well
as automobiles and stationary engines,
farmers are rapidly becoming familiar
with the care and operation of gas
engines. At the same time, tractors
are being improved and simplified so
that difficulties In operation are grow
ing less each year.
The comparatively large investment,
rapid depreciation and fuel and repair
bills have also been mentioned by
farmers as points against owning q
tractor. They point out, too. that a
tractor is not adaptable to all farm
work where horses are ordinarily used.
However, the tractor can do much
work that horses cannot do-work
where belt power is needed.
Fit the Tractor to the Farm.
One of the most important points to
consider when buying a tractor Is
the size of the farm. Experienced
tractor owners rarely recommend the
purchase of a tractor for use on a farm
with less than 120 or 40 acres under
cultivation, and for such farms the
two-plow outfit is usually preferred.
However, most of the farms on which
tractors are being used successfully are
somewhat larger than this, and q ma
jOrity of the tractors pull three plows.
Four-plow machines are being used
satisfactorily on some farms where
there IL a larger amount of work TO be
done, and where the conditions are
such that one man can operate an out
fit of this size.
Size, however, is not the only fac
tor TO be considered, and the question
whether or not a tractor will prove
profitable is q problem in farm man
agement which must be worked out for
the individual farm.
