VELVET RIDE TRACTOR SEAT
New Seat Brings New Comfort
and Safety to Tractor Operation

New Seat Brings New Comfort
and Safety to Tractor Operation
Back-breaking and aching jolts
and jars have been taken out of
farm tractor driving by Massey
Harris. This is the first large
tractor manufacturer to provide
passenger car driving comfort for
the hundreds of thousands of aver
age farmers who spend an estimat-
ed 965 hours a year on their trac-
tors. The new "Velvet Ride" seat,
which is installed at the factory
on Massey-Harris tractors, now
brings new comfort and safety to
tractor operation according to
Ralph G. FAIRIES, Townsend dealer.
The new "Velvet Ride" tractor
seat combines the shock-absorbing
and stabilizing effects of a double
action hydraulic shock absorber, a
variable tension coil spring and
pivot point and stabilizer bar. The
hydraulic shock absorber cushions
the up and down action of the coil
spring while the pivot point and
stabilizer bar control side sway.
Thus the tractor operator can drive
more safety over rough, uneven
ground and enjoy new comfort
comparable to the relaxed pleasure
of driving his motor car. A slim
miss of 100 pounds enjoys the same
tractor driving comfort as a ESQ
pound man on "Velvet Ride" Mas
sey-Harris tractors. Good health
is fostered, too, by the new "Vel-
vet Ride" seat. Gone are the
strains on shoulder, arm and leg
muscles. Body muscles are relax
ed due to the cushioning effect of
the coil spring and double-action
hydraulic snubber. Safety is in
creased, too, because the driver is

Culling of Pullets

"a minor detail that may be
looked upon as having little inn
portance may often prove to be a
limiting factor to success with a
flock of newly-housed pullets, says
j. Frank Gordy, extension poultry
man for the Delaware Agricultural
Extension Service.
Details which should not be over
looked he says are culling as lay
ing progresses, providing adequate
feeding and watering space, in
specting the flock for lice and
keeping on the alert for signs of
disease, and gathering eggs fire.
quently.
Even though early Matched pull
lets are housed and are well on
their way toward peak production,
several books of late Matched pull
lets are yet to be placed in the lay
ing quarters. When these late
Matched pullets are put in the lay
ing houses they are entering a new
environment. A safe practice to
follow is to move a range feeder
into the laying house until the
birds learn to use the new hoppers.
Corn Pickers Dangerous
The nations 1916 corn harvest
will bring into operation more
than 100000 mechanical pickers.
Even though these machines are
well-guarded and instructions are
specifically for safe operation,
many farmers will meet with acci-
dents due to carelessness. Figures
from the National Safety Council
show that these accidents are not
only costly in terms of lost time
and doctor and disqualification bills,
but they usually leave the farmer
with some type of serious perman-
cnt injury. Many such accidents
are fatal.
The Delaware Extension Service |
offers the following safety sugges-
tions:
/. All machines should be care
fully checked for mechanical de-
fects before they are taken to the
field.
2. Corn picker rolls should al
ways be stopped before clearing
them.
8. Keep all shields in place.
4. Never oil or adjust a picker
when it is in motion.
5. Avoid wearing long coats
and baggy gloves or other clothing
which may catch in revolving
parts.
Economical Milk Production
A piece of "chalk" helps to feed |
COWS economically, says Delmar J.
Young, extension dairyman for
the Delaware Agricultural Exten-
sion Service. Use piece of chalk
to record the pounds of grain each
cow should receive at each feeding
