are this year in both grains and eat
tie, a great many farmers will find
it necessary to feed their grain if
they are to make any profit at all out
of it.
Cattle feeding authorities are prac-
tically unanimous in saying that
greater value can be gotten out OF
ground feed than unground when
used for feeding purposes. Expert
ment station figures tend to prove
that both cattle and hogs gain in
weight much faster when fed the
the. ground food and that the increas-
ed gain in weight accomplished
through this practice will pay a
high rate of interest on an investment
in a grinder.
The power for operating the grind
er is, of course, an important thing
and the man who has gas engine
or. tractor is fortunate. Ordinarily
about four bushels of corn or 21s
bushels Of oats will be handled by the
ordinary mill for each horse power
operating it. A tractor is thus
seen TO give ample power for operat-
ing almost any grinder that the aver
age farmer would have in his equip
ment.
A distinct advantage of feed grind
ing is that it gives valuable employ
ment to the tractor at a time when
it might otherwise not be busy.
s17 PER HOUR FOR SPRAYING
6. j. Bouska, of Howard County
Iowa, is a firm believer in the finan-
cial benefits to be derived from spray
ing. According to Successful Farm
ing, Mr.. Bouska arranged with the
local county agent to conduct spray
ing demonstration in his orchard
Some trees were left unsprayed as
a check. In September the fruit OF
typical sprayed tree was picked and
sorted, as was also that of an un-
sprayed tree. The sprayed tree
yielded 8 bushels, 76 per cent OF
which was classed as clean fruit
while "a per cent was less deformed
scabby or wormy. The unsprayeG
tree produced less than two bushels
only l per cent of which was clean
while 80 per cent was scabby and
wormy. The crop from the sprayed
tree was worth $13.55 more than
that on the unsprayed tree, after the
cost of spraying was deducted, and
it required only about three-quarters
of an hour total time during the sea-
son to spray one tree.
Another material benefit from the
spraying is that the effect is not only
for this year, for the scale which had
badly infested the trees has been
eliminated. In Howard County the
power sprayer has come to stay.

PURDUE UNIVERSITY HAS
TRACTOR TESTING PLANT

TRACTOR TESTING PLANT
The agricultural engineering inter-
ssts of the state of Indiana are well
served by Prof. VIM. Aitkenhead and
his corps of assistants who hold forth
at Lafayette. The agricultural en-
gineering department is in the agri-
cultural division but it works in close
cooperation with the engineering di
vision, who has in it's equipment a
highly developed tractor testing plant
where any kind of test can be salts
factorily conducted. Prof. Aitken
head will continue the direction of
various tests of tractors which have
given valuable results in the past
year or two, and in addition will con-
duet the regular power farming
course in the department, as well as
several tractor short courses.
POWER FARMING THROUGH
THE YEAR
E. L. Block, a farmer near Sedg-
wick, Kansas, is strong for the
tractor On farm work. The one he
has now he has been using, he said,
for blowing stubble land and also for
dragging roads, narrowing, and all
kinds of belt work. 1t also operates
q custom corn shelter through the
winter months.
Il have shelled corn when it was 16
degrees below Zero" he declared, "and
used kerosene for fuel. In fact, the
weather is never too bad nor the roads
too muddy for me wherever wish
to go with my tractor.
II have kept a close record of the
fuel and oil and other tractor ex-
penses. For belt work for 10 hours
It has averaged $1.70 for breaking
the toughest prairie sod at 40 cents
an acre. For the plowing stubbie
and narrowing at the same time the
cost was 80 cents an acre. / use an
extra heavy three-bottom 14-inch
plower behind the plow and pillow six
or seven inches deep. OF course. l
could not do this if I did not under
stand my tractor perfectly."-Kan-

COMMUNITY POWER
FARMING MEETING
Four Wisconsin towns, River Falls,
Ellsworth, New Richmond and Chip
pewa Falls, held community power
farming meetings during the latter
part Of December Prominent pow
err farming authorities from the vsri-
GUS agricultural engineering deart-
ment of the state college were on the
program for talks. The subject of
power in the home was also up for
discussion.
Moving picture films on the use of
power were feature of the m .stin,.

in and around Ashland free two
day session, will be held today and
tomorrow taking up the troubles en-
countered by owners of tractors,

operation of more than forty differ
ent manufacturers.
Mr.. H. o .Linsday, of Minneapolis,
who is directing the work, will ex-
plain the principles of the different
machines and their proper care.
Quoting the Chiffon Tractor Jour-
nal: 1870 of the tractor troubles
encountered by users are due entire-
ly to improper care and lack OF pre-
per fabrication" The instruction
given will enable tractor and truck
owners oavoid much of the every
day troubles encountered thereby 20.
ducing the cost of operation and
maintenance.
One especially interesting fc"tuce
will be some laboratory tests on oils
to be brought in by the farmers at
tending the sessions. Regardless
of the names or brands of oil SUBMIT
ed, they will be tested for gravit;,
flash and fire, in the presence of all.
High grade oils will be compared
with others, in clear, simple >and
convincing way.
Other tests will be given which a
farmer can take and make use of
right at the farm, in order to ascer-
tain whether or not the oil he is using
is of the best grade and suitable for
the work.
Again to quote the Chiffon Journal:
"The Society of Automotive En-
gineers, consisting of the leading gas
and oil engineers of the country, adj
vises the use of straight Pennsylvania
(paraffine base) oils as the only oils
suitable for use in an internal COM
buston motor"
This is due to the fact that the
temperature at which gas engine
runs makes it physically impossible
to supply sufficient fabrication at the
top of the pistons when the oil used
has fire test lower than the tenn
perature at the top of the pistons,
which is found to be above $50 de-
grees Fahrenheit. This, of course,
results in increased friction, excess
wear, and loss of power.
A number of other interesting IL
lustrations relative Ito canburetion,
ignition and cooling, where lubrica-
ton is directly responsible for a lot
of trouble that is commonly attri-
buted to the carbuetor or the magnetic
will be taken up and explained to
the satisfaction of those who are in
terested.
Every owner or operator of any
internal combustion engine will be
invited to ask question relative to
his own machines, and to describe
his troubles. In this way every per-
son who attends may learn how to
avoid many of the things which he
has found to be not only annoying,
but very expensive.
Many owners of trucks and tract
ors ave already expressed their in
tention of attending the course which
is to be given, and large attendance
is anticipated.

The first felt SO bulky that he
was not surprised to take from i.
a folded inner envelope inscribed:

on berry-piclling within the last
few days. In spite of the fact that
berries are large and plentiful this
year. the price is already beginning

them. The rail strike, tying up
