They according to their nuniler, are attac and arranged in pairs diagonally along the back, with each pair slightly in advance of the other.

The farmer in both cases furnishes the coal. lu appearance the traction engine resembles the ordinary one seen during the threshing -season in Illinois, only it is larger, with exaggerated back wheels. They travel at the rate of two miles pcf hour over even ground and can turn under t to 30 acres daily. From five to seven inches is the depth of the furrow. The cost of running one of thee plowing outfits prr "day is as follows: fol-lows: Man to steer, $1.50; water hauler, $1; board, $.1; feed for one horse, 50 cents; shaqicning plows, $?.50; oil, $1.

The good custom plower is bringing up the standards of his craft Having ffill Knowledge that old world plowing methods are superior to those on this side of the water and realizing that the American farmer often sacrifices quality for quantity, he has set aUiut to reduce plowing to European standards and has for the most part produced satisfactory results. With his steam engine lie can secure quantity; with practical knowledge lie obtains quality. There are breakers ahead of him, though, that will give him worry unless he bestirs himself at on it- to avoid the trouble; and that is price cutting. Owing" Id its extreme youth, to speak of; no power to maintain a result has len a lowering of wages until now ir soirte portions of the west no money is made at all by it.
