USING FARM TPACTORS*
Viewing the bitter as a Pui•Ciy

Thursday, Jane. 16th, 1921
Sitting Down to Count: the Cost—
What Ilse Machinee Can Oo-.•.•,Tile.
1'ersonel Factor In Trio ter
Management Important.
(Contr•ihuted by Ontarto Depertlnent• or
Agriculture, Toronto.)
1110 farmer, who is always of
conservative nature, is not
so readily convinced ofthe
tractor's paying dualities.
,k Te has seen demonstration machines
with one man plough as much
ground in an hour as he could plough.
in a day; he has also seen tractors.
give a very creditable showing on the
belt, Then again he hasseen ma-
chines which for some reason or
other did not give satisfaction; he
has also seen instances where ma-
chines Were tied up for weeks •for
want of a spare part 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." Manufacturers 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 onewhich is kept at it for
three hundred days of the year. This
means that if we have not enough
work to keep the machine going for
a certain length of time each year we
will be losing money,
The debt which a tractor must wipe
out when it sets foot upon a farmis
a two -fold one. First- it must more
than repay operating expenses, and
Second it must pay what the manu-
facturer
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 i tractor costs,
only from $1.25 to $2.00 an acre,
while horse-plougbing will come to
anywhere between $3.50 and $6,00
per acre, while other work shows an
equally favorable comparison for the
tractor. Besides the draw -bar work
the tractor offers itself as a source of
belt power which work horses have
long since ceased to perform. •
The "overhead" expenses which the
tractor must face consist mainly of
interest on money invested, together
with as reasonable -allowance for de-
preciation 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 $1,400; the ploughs
acessene 20 0., To. this •sv'e roust". p dw �?nx
1$ VA for part ownership• of a thresher
and silo -filler. This makes $2,100 in
all. The interest on this at .7' per
cent. is equal to $147.00, and the de-
preciation of 10 per cent. perannum
is equal to $210, or a total of $357,
wh?:ch our tractor must face; no mat-
ter how much or how little work it
does. If the machine does only ten
days 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 of 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.small
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
anzouent 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 as tractor.
Fences mean waste land; they harbor
weeds, and it costs more to keep the
usual quota of fences in repair than
it does to build a temporary fence
when needed and roll it up when not
needed. Removing some fences is the
first step toward fair play for the
tractor. It ie 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 tractor's case
as a business proposition we must
consider the following points: -
1. That .the tractor will do farm
work more cheaply than horses can
do it, if the work is properly arrang-
ed for the tractor.
2. The personal factor in tractor
operation is so great that it• aloha
may cause success or failure.
3. When a tractor is kept busy
enough, its upkeep and overhead cost
per year is far less than the same on
the horses, which it is able to. sub-
stitute for.
4. Belt work constitutes a large
portion of the tractor's usefulness. In
order to make it a paying proposi-
tion, it must do the farmer's belt
work.—L. G. , Ileimpel, Itemptville

Thrifty • Ewes Mean Bigger Lamb
Crop.
The best results from breeding are
obtained from ewes that are in a
gaining condition. If they are thin
from having been kept on short fall
pastures, they should have a little
grain—from oiie-quarter to one-half
a .pound a day. This will put them
in good condition and they will breed
earlier and increase the lamb crop.
Some fairly accurate record should
ee kept when the ewes are bred in
order that when lambing time ap-
proaches the ewes may be separated
from the main Bock and given extra
feed and care. If ticks, lice or scab
•appear in the flock, the sheep should
be dipped even though the weather
is a little severe. This is extra work,
but the flock will be more healthy,
and thrifty. A warm place should be
provided the sheep until they dry off.
The ram should also receive extra
care at this time. In order to keep
bite actiye, vigorous and in fair flesh
during the breeding season he should
be fed a pound or two of gram every
flax. "Extra care of ewes and breed-
ing ram at this time;" says Mr,
Andes:son, "will insure a larger and
stronger lamb crop and well repay
the. flockmaster for his extra labor."
Farm Notes.
From uow• on empty the hopper of
the gasoline engine after using, and
protect batteries from frost.
Do not forget that salt and water
are as necessary for the cow as is
feed. A tablespoonful of charcoal
mixed with the feed aids digestion.
