A Chemical Fire Protector.
After o conple of accieleats with oil
stoves in hie home which reeulted In
small fires a Western farmer bee in-
stalled a unique and IneXPerssiVe de-
vice for protecting his 'mine from fire
with chemical fire extinguesher.
In the basement was placed it thirty -
gallon hot -water -heater tank. Neat the
top was mounted a small air -pressure
gauge. Below this, ssear the centre of
the tank, a stem frons an old ante -
mobile inner tube was mounted in the
tank for pumping , air into the tank.
From near the bottom of the tank a
half-inch pipe was passed up through
the floor into ilse 'kitchen of the house.
To the end ef this was fastened a
stopcock and tvventy feet of half-inch
rubber hose. A quarter -inch hose noz-•
zle was fastened to the end of the hose,
The tank was filled about two-thirds
full of a chemical fire extinguisher al-
ready prepared and air pumped into
the tank until the ,Pressure reached
forty pounds on the gauge. The tank
iS kept pumped up -to this point all
the time.
• With this pressure and this length
01: hose it is possible far the farmer
to reach any part of his house arid pat
out any fire, that may siert. The
equipment makes aVailable a quick
method of snipping fires.
When the Sickle Gums.
.Often when snowing alfalfa the
sickle becomes badly gummed up.
Cover the sickle bar with a thin layer
of cut alfalfa hay and sprinkle lightly
with water, The waterWill soften the
gum, so that when the mower is start-
ed again it falls off. A
Don't Judge Your Tractor by Your Auto
While the automobile has had a lot
to do with faxeiliariiing:fariners:with
the operationeinaintenance and repair
of the gas engine, it has been some-
what misleading to farniers when
eempared with the tractor.' The two
machinee work Very much alike, but
their respective, jobs ar,e very' much
'different. s „,
A The automobile coasts down the hill,
It operates on sniobth level road. In
-fact, it Operates 'ander full load only
alaiut 10' per cent. of- its tirne, while
the'tractor is pulling its full load
about 95 Per cent. Of the_time. If the
automobile was loaded to its full ca-
pacity and run in low gear every day

Other work. the coMptiaisOm'svoiild be

'ME' IDLE 'TRACTOR COVERED.
_1 The tractor is allowed. to kens' in
the field without cover too often: It
has to burn the cheap fuel and too
often uses the cheap grade of oil
which is quite expensive in the end.
Very often a fernier, after running his
car 8,000 miles, finds that it develops
O knock. It, is immediately taken to
the garage for repair. Too often the
same farnser hears his tractor knock-
ing a little and he -looks out and sees
about eight to ten acres of land yet
to be plowed. He thinks: "Well, I'll
finish the Plowing before I get the
tractor repairad." Before the eight or
ten acres have been plowed his'engine
has turned over as much as the auto-
mobile. engine runs in".8,000 miles.
Transmission and engine bearings
are protected from shocks by pneu-
matic tires in the automobile. The
tractor is often run in high gear over
hard roads without these protections.
Across the fields on the sod would be
much better for it.
Before any one can realize the full
profit from the farm tractor, he must
first realize its job and give it proper
care. The operatot of the tractor
should also appreciate the fact that
the machine- he is driving should not
be over -loaded.
If three plows on a steep grade are
more than the tractor can pull with
ease, the machine is being overloaded
and one ploW should be taken off. The
ansOunt of -land plowed with the two
plows:will be, about as much as with
the three, owing to the, fact that when
over -loaded the tractor travels slowly
and the 'drive wheels slip badly. The
lighter load will not damage the ma-
chine like the heavy load will, and -the
profit from the tractor in the long run
will be greater. .
Poor oil, for instance, will cause
enough repair bills when used in the
automobile, but will be far more costly
if used in the tractor engine. The
tractor operates under 'full load all
hours of the day and runs at the maxi -
muni temperature. It therefore needs
an oil film- between the piston and 'the •
cylinder which will stand such tem-
peratures.
111E NEGLECTED INSTRUCTION BOOK.
Too often the tractor operator
doesn't know where -to find the instruc-
tion book which carne with , the ma-
chine. As a general thing, the stand-
ard farm tractor instruction book is
written by some of the keenest minded
f engineers in the country and the book
• contains good information.
Mote of these 'instruction books
1 would be read if the agent who sells
i a tractor would go over the important
things with the tractor purchaser,
Much of the tractor trouble may be
,latd at the door of the salesman who
I failed to inform the farmer about the
machine. •
