Development Of Gasoline Tractor

The present type OF gasoline trac-
tor finds Its prototype In the old steam
tractor. The intermediate step was
taken when owners Of steam tractors
took of the steam boiler and mounted
stationary gasoline engine on tho old
steam-running gear. There were Z
number Of these machines built AROUND
1880, perhaps some a few years before
The first gasoline tractors manufac-
turcd from about 1893 to 1902 were
slight retinemcnts of the combination
steam-and- gasoline outfit. In 1903 a
special type of gasoline tractor ap-
peared. and from that time on the
industry has had rapid develop
ment. Probably no one man can claim
the credit for having built the first
tractor.

IS bal the "mo"Aing after headache

Pour about half Il tcacupful Of this

the eggs re being laid which is
usually about the time the plants
are sci out. Repeat this treatment
i'll week or ten days. For radishcs
apply when the tops are two Or
three inches high but before the
roots attain any size, using about
gallon to each twenty Or thirty
feet of row.
The material should not be pour

be prevented.
Wooden vessels should be used
