USING FARM TRACTORS
Viewing the Matter as:a Purely
l31n S
U8• t' S Proposition,
Sitting gown to Count the Cost--
What
osmoWhat the Sinehines CAB Doe -The
Personal lenetor 'le Tractor
Maautgement important.
(Contributed by tants too Department of
Agriculture, Toronto.)
IN Farmer, who is always or
q ,,..
eo . t ttit ive nature, is not
n t
so readily convinced of the
tractor's paying qualities,
He has seen demonstration .machines
with one man plough its much
ground in an hour as he could plough
in a day; be has also seen tractors
give a very eretlitable showing on the
belt. Then again he has seen ma-
chines which for some reason or
other did not give satisfaction; he
has also seen instances where ma-
chines were tied tip for weeks for
want of a spare hart to replace .a
Broken one. The result is that they
are not "falling over each other" to
buy tractors. A tractor costs a lot of
money, and he is afraid to make the
plunge, not being so certain that it
will pay for itself.
An old saw -miller once said to the
writer; "Every second that saw is not
actually cutting lumber she is a bill
of expense," Manufaeturers tell us
that the factory which can be kept
going twenty-four hours a day is the
factory which gives the biggest re-
turns. The same Is true of the farm
tractor; the most profitable machine
is the one which is kept at it for
three hundred days of the year, This
means that 1f we have not enough
work to keep the machine going for
a certain length of tune each year we
will be losing money.
The debt which a tractor must wipe
out when it sets foot upon a farm is
a two -fold one. First it must more
than repay operating expenses, and
second it must pay what the manu-
facturer calls "overhead expenses,"
The machine has no reason to fear
the former obligation when it is pro-
perly handled. We know that the
cost of ploughing with a tractor costs
only from $1,25 to $2.00 an acre,
while horse -ploughing gill come to
anywhere between $3.50 and $0.00
per acre, while other work shows un
equally favorable rompatrison for the
tractor, Besides the draw -bar work
the tractor offers itself as a source of
belt power which work horses have
long alma ceased to perform,
The "overhead" expenses which the
tractor must face consist mainly- of
interest on money invested, together
with a reasonable allowance for de-
predation on the price of itself, plus
the price of any machinery bought
expressly for use with the tractor.
The price of a three -plough tractor is
somewhere near $1,4-00; the ploughs
cost $200. To this we must add say
$500 for part ownership of a thresher
and silo -filler. Title makes $2,100 in
all: The interest of this at 7 per
cent. is equal to $147.00, and the de-
preciation of 10 per cent. per annum
is equal to $210, or x total of $357,
which our tractor must face, no mat-
ter how much or how little work it
does. If the machine does only ten
day's of work per year the cost of the
overhead per day would be $35.70;
if, however, the machine is used for
one hundred days the overhead drops
to $3.57 per day. So that the greater
the number o1 days in which the
tractor Is employed per year the more
profitable will the machine prove.
There is plenty of work for a trac-
tor on most Ontario farms, but the
work is not In such shape that the
tractor can do it satisfactorily. A
tractor cannot do good work in emall
'fields. Turning around, even with a
small tractor, is laborious work for
both the operator and the machine,
and is not conducive to the maximum
amount of work per day nor to the
best quality of work.
Most Ontario farms have too many
fences for profitable horse -farming,
to say nothing of using a tractor.
Fences mean waste land; they harbor
weeds, and it costs more to keep the
usual quota 61 fences in repair than
it does to build a temporary fenee
when needed and roll it up when not
needed. Removing some fences is the
first step toward fair play for the
tractor. It Is hard work to cultivate
among stumps and boulders with
horses. With a tractor it is impos-
sible to do good work 'In such condi-
tions. The second step in arranging
our work for the tractor is to remove
all obstructions, Give the tractor a
fair chance at its work and it will not
disappoint you.
In summing up the traigtor's case
as a business proposttforr we must
consider the following points: -
1. That the tractor will do farm
work More cheaply than horses eon
do it, if the work is properly arrang-
ed
rranged for the tractor;
2, The personal factor in tractor
operation is. so' great that it- alone
may cause success or failure.
3. When a tractor Is kept busy
enough, its upkeep and overhead cost
per year is far leas than ,the satire on
the horses, which it is able *to sub-
stitute for.
4. Belt work. constitutes a large
portion of the tractor's usefulness. Lr
order to make it a paying proposi-
tion; It must tie the farmer's• belt
work. -,L. G. Heimpel, tCemptville

Save Manure.,
There has never been a Cline when
the making,, saving,'and utilizing or
all . sorts . of farm manure was so
essential. All, fertilizing material is
high in prism, and some kinds cannot
be had In sufficient quantities at all.
Farm manure maybe used for a nuth-
ber of ,purposes to a much greater
advantage than commercial fer-
tilizers. The total quantity of ma-
nure can be greatly increased by
keeping live stock sheds and stables
well bedded with straw, leaves, and
other refuse about the farm,

RADIO NOTES.
This week we shall complete the
one -tube, single circuit set. • The
wiring instructions are as follows:
The antennae binding post is con-
nected to the terminal from the ro-
tary plates of the variable condenser.
The stationary plates arc connected
to the 'beginning of the stator or
fixed winding of the variocoupler.
The taps of the variocoupler are
connected to the switch points, and
the switch arm is connected to the
ground. The stationary plates of the
variable condenser arc connected to
one terminal of the grid condenser,
the other terminal of the grid con-
denser is connected to the grid .termi-
nal of the 'tubes The lead 'between
the, grid condenser and tube should
be as short as possible.
The "A" battery positive and "B"
battery negative are cobnected to-
gether, and a connection is made to
the ground and the. F positive post
on the tube socket from this con-
nection, (the A pos. and B neg).
The A neg. post on the tube socket
is joined to one terminal of the rheo-
stat, and the other terminal of the
rheostat is connected to the neg.
terminal of the filament or "A"
battery.
The plate ter"mitral of tube socket
is connected to one side of the rotar
or movable coil of the variocoupler.
The other terminal of the rotor
coil is connected to one of the
phone terminals. The remaining
B" battery positive, If a .001 or .002
phone condenser is used, it should
be connected 'between the two phone
posts.
The 'builder may build his own
cabinet to fit his panel size or have
one constructed to fit. The cabinet
should be at least seven inches deep.

]Distance
"I have sold as many as 32
customers in one morning
by "Long Distance. There is
little difference in the cost
of personal letters and Long
Distance messages, and the
advantage is all on the side
of Long Distance: Coope-,
tition in our line is too keen:
to take any changes."
When' good customers are
not too plentiful, why run
chances by taking the time
to write a letter that may
have to be followed by
another to straighten out
some unexpected difficulty?
