"More than ever, farmers are turn
ing to invention and science to do
heavy work of the farm" says F. B.
Smalley, prominent agricultural au-
thority of Ohio. Machinery that is
being used by progressive farmers
everywhere has paid for itself many
times over, according to Mr.. Smalley,
in time and labor saved and results
achieved.
"The cost of this machinery is rela-
lively SMALL" said Mr.. Smalley.
"Most of the heavy. hard farm work
of the farm can be done by machines.
Agriculture is one of the five basic in
'dustries of the country and should
keep pace with the progress of inven-
ton. The farmer is as much bust
ness man as the commercial and in
dustrial leaders in the cities and in
many cases is more vital to the eco
nomic life.
"Some farmers are still clinging to
the horse to do their heavy work.
Yet many farmers realize that the
horse is VIGOROUSLY inefficient for
long, grinding work and that the cost
of his up-keep during the winter
months makes him a costly farm
hand"

to inquire closer, it would find an av-
erage of 1872 of these strange mech
anisms on each one thousand farms
throughout the country. In eight
states he would find that more than

tOr-driven vehicle of some sort. And
not only this, the spectral pioneer
would be completely dumbfounded by
the private electric plants. electric
diaries and other labor-saving mech
anisms Of which he never dreamed.
Census reports often are dry read
ing. But the preliminary report on
farms of the 1920 census, just issued,
is susceptible of being made into a
romantic story of agricultural prog
ress. Science has not been unmind-
full Of the farmer in her march, and
he has nothing to complain of in the

One late fall day Farmer Jones
found his friend Brown detaching the
hose leading from the radiator to the
engine of his farm truck.
What do you propose doing now ?"
he asked.
at will soon be time to use anti
freeze, so I'm going to shellac these
connections to make them tight. Anti
freeze is too expensive to have it leak
away through loose connections or
JOINTS" Brown explained.
But why use shellac? Most anti
freeze contains alcohol, therefore
shellac has little value, as alcohol dis
solves it."
"Then what would you suggest ?"
Brown inquired.
II melt small amount of tallow in
pan, adding about one-third part or
enough powdered graphite to make a
good paste. Too much graphite will
make it too hard. This I apply to the
hose connection and gaskets. 1t soft

plication of the tallow- graphite mix

tenn is made proof against leaks in

freeze makes it we'll worth the trou-
BILE involved"
Brown started off.

The Value Of Corn Slower

Authorities differ as to the value of
corn slower as a food but there can
be no question but what it possesses
certain desirability. Thousands o.,
dollars worth of valuable feed in this
form is lost annually because the corn
is left standing in the field until it
has lost most Of its food value
through teaching, Or even if it be
stored it is generally fed whole and
most of it is wasted under the feet of
the animals because they cannot re-
duce it.
With the tractor coming into COM
mon use on the farm. the preparation
of, slower with shredders is an easy
job and it is expected that the prac-
tice of husking the corn and shreddin"
the fodder which is general in some
localities, will be greatly extended as
its value is appropriated.

government farm at Alabang in Oc-
tober, 1919, when ten tractors were
tested under the most exacting con-
ditions. AS a result of these trials,
tractors won a place in Philippine ag-
riculture.
, For several years there has been
an increasing shortage of draft ami
mails in the Philippines, due to the
prevalence of rinderpest among the
carabaos and for that reason is has
been necessary to find another source
Of power. There are certain uses for
which the carabaos seem indispens-
able, but the indications are that the
tractor will soon supersede the cara
baos to very large extent in supply
ing power.
The Farmington times. (Farmington, St. Francois County, Mo.) 1905-1926, 1921-12-09

Power farming has shown itself to
be peculiarly adaptable in the potato
growing regions of the country. Of
course, the processes of soil prepara-
ton are all handled exceptionally well
by tractor power. The planting, too,
can be done by machines drawn by
tractors. A number of large growers
are using motor cultivators for all the
tillage work, and in the harvesting the
tractor-pulled potato digger of today
is the logical evolution of the old back
breaking spading fork.
In 1866. by the methods then in use,
it required 109 hours of a mans time
to produce one acre of potatoes, with
yield of 220 bushels. Using modern
machinery, the time required to do the
same amount of work has been re-
duced to SO hours, a saving of ap-
proximately 65 per cent in time.
At present prices and using the old
method, the cost of producing an acre
of potatoes was $13.18. Up-to-date
equipment has brought this cost down
to $5.95, saving of approximately
81 per cent in actual cash.
The addition of anti-friction roller
bearings, encased in dust-proof en-
closures, represents a recent and i'm
portant step in the perfection Of the
potato digger and it has been proven
through actual field tests that ma
chine so equipped requires much less
power and is far more dependable
than one with plain bearings.

Aligning the Tractor

Prof. John S. Glass of the Iowa
State College offers some simple but
valuable suggestions for setting the
tractor for belt jobs.
Four operations are necessary to
get the belt outfit set and ready for
work. First. set the machine in con-
venient position so that the operators
will not have to work in the dirt.
Next, uncouple the tractor from the
machine and drive forward away
from it several feet. Then quickly
cramp the steering gear to the right
and proceed until the tractor has

the grain grower or the farmer who
makes wheat his principal crop. The
cutting, threshing and sacking are
taken care of IN one operation, ana
the straw is left scattered on the
ground in thin layer which can cas-
lily be plowed under.
Chesley Lunk Of Pratt, Kans., has
used combine during the past sea-
son and harvested easily his entus
crop of 400 acres. Only three men
were required to do the work. Mr..
Lunt used the grain eonveyor attach
ment and loaded the grain from the
machine into the wagon. As the wag-
on was filed, team hauled it to the
granary, while the tractor and har-
weston went on cutting and filing an
other wagon.

The second one made 5000 cuts a

Philippine Power Farmers

The increased use of tractors in the
Philippines is remarkable. While
price conditions are reflected in the
decrease of the value Of exports Of
farm machinery in general from the
United States to the Philippines,
from $796,141 to ST., 191, in the years
192O-21, tractor exports have increas-
ed very materially. In 1917, four
tractors were sold in the Philippines;
in 1918, six; in 1919, 597, while dur
ing the fiscal year ending June 80,
1920. over 800 were sold. This great
increase was largely in consequence of

Engine Exhaust Heats Water Z

On southwestern Michigan farm
the exhaust from the gas engine is
used to keep the water in the stock
tanks from freezing. The exhaust is
discharged into an old hot water tank
and from there is conducted through
a rectangular frame of pipe resting on
the bottom of the trough. An elbow
over the rim of the tank permits the
exhaust to discharge into the air.

former position. Stop, reverse the
drive, cramp the wheels to the left
and back up until facing the machine
again. This will bring the tractor
into very close alignment. Further
aligning may be done by backing
away from the machine and then
driving toward it, sighting along the
edge of the pulleys.
Prof. Glass does not advise the use
of a belt which makes the distance be-
tween pulleys less than 80 feet. A
short belt is difficult to keep in good
adjustment.
