FORD'S MECHANICAL MIRACLE,
The Wonderful Tractor
•
•
(By Lord. Northcliffe.)
-Henry Ford, the billionaite, anti -
militarist, is a good-looking thin -vis-
aged, ascetic of 54, whose appearance
mingles that of the Bishop of Lon-
don. and Sir John Hare. Originally
seized of the belief that Germany
could be argued into peace, he is now
throwing his inventive genius, energy,
and capital intq the prosecution of
such an effective waging of thie wet
as will, he believes, bring about the
end of all wars. His particular wea-
pon is a miracle of mechanical in-
genuity, the Ford Tractor, which
•promises to revolutionize farm work
• as completely as the Fprd Car has
• changed cheap automobile trapsit.
• The tractor itself is a emelt piece
of machinery about 'the length of a
Ford motor car. It can be used either
as a stationary engine, or to propel
plpughs, mowing machines, reapers
and binders.; The 1917 patterrewhich
Mr. Ford isibuilding Or England for
the purpose of fighting the submarine
menace, is 25 horsetp,oiver. is lit-
erally true that a boy- or girl with

Imowledge can arid% it. mounted
the tractor .and ploughed a half mile
furrow with ease end acc-ueacy at a
speed of between three and four miles,
an hour, and with no time lost at turn-
ing.,
'Mr -Fiord, accompanied by Mr. Mc-
Millan, of the Detroit Free Press, met
the members of the British War Mis-
sion on their artived in Detroit and,

Profitable Onion Growing.—Men-
tion was made last week of the ex-
cellent onion crop in our district, and
this week we report for those inter-
ested, an apdount of profitable work'
• done by Mr.' Candle Thery, an in-
dustrious and experienced gardener
from Belgium. Mr. Thery's rnethpd
is as -follows: He selected on the
farm of Dr. Moir, a plot of two acres
which- had beeyi in sod for a number
of years. This .plot was thoroughly
drained and summer followed last
year, being well worked •up, and fre-
quently cultivated during that season.
This spring it was again thoroughly
worked up, disced and harrowed re-
peatedly and fertilizer worked in, then
planked both ways, making the whole
surface into a finely pulverized and
even condition. This- was sowed with
seed at the rate of seventy-five peundri
to the acre and an excellent crop re-
sulted. The expenses were as follows:
Men, team and implements for the
complete preparation of land for sow-
ing, team on twenty-four different
days for hauling crop to market, all;
including rent of land, $100; seed,
$232.50, wages for weeding and har-
vesting $320, commercial fertilizer $8,
total expenditure $660.50. . He har-
vested off these two acres more than
ten tons of excellent onion 'sets, which
he sold at a contract price onover
$1*00, • clearing over all expenses,
$600. Besides attending to this plot
during the summer, Mr. Thery had
the time to weed and harvest on a
sharebasis a half -acre plot for Dr.
Moir.* He also did considerable work
among the sugar,beets in the district,
making in all a very profitable -sum-
xner. Mr. Thery expects to spend
the winter in Detroit, but will return
in the spring to engage in the onioni
and sugar -beet industry. Welearno
many others who had excellent onion,
crops this year. Mr. Busch had even
a heavier yield; Messrs. Cantelon and
Whitesides, Priest, Welsh and Palmer
were also extensive growers as well.
M.essrs. Smallacombe and Follick, the
old veterans, also both- had splendid
crops. All the seed houses have had
to add additional storage' room to
their warehouses here, which speaks
well for the prospects of the, industry
in this favored district.
Briefs.—The snow fall of the past
week has stopped outside work for the
present at least and a few sleighe and
cutters have been taking acIvArtage
of -the snow, *which -is nearlyeeeti cient
for good sleighing.—On Tifeedgy eva
