Hello, still learning what a terrific beating the human mind and ; dared go no further, Pat says, lest we get lost in our homeward journey. We were all tired now, so we started home, bringing our collection of berries along. The boys crossed a few fields, when suddenly they came to a double railroad track. Rather than cross any more fences, or fall into any more ditches, they started home along the track. They bad walked about half a mile when their attention was attracted by a huge engine which lay on the sidetracks nearby. . To me, Pat says, who had never seen one before, this huge mass of steel presented one of lifes mysteries." The boys watched How that thing did the aged engineer as he pushed and pulled levers.

Now, boys, dont get alis are that farmers study using a fainting spell when you read this, but consider yourself in my most two fewer horses and mules position. What would you have done?! a farm in 1938 than in 1926. FurWell, here is the incredible thing Pat did. Being greatly thermore the percentage of farm interested in the engine, he examined it as best he could; so did horses more than 20 years of age is his chums. Rather than miss anything, he crept underneath the twice as high in 1938 as in 1926, huge structure. He was just in there, when the engineer returned. but the proportion of horses less He rebuked Pats two chums for their presence on the property of than four years of age is also higher. From 1930 to 1934 about 26 per the railroad. The boys took to their heels as fast as they could, but cent of the accounting farms in central Illinois used horses only, whereas in 1936 the proportion had declined to 14 per cent. The shift in breeding operations on farms has been related to changes in prices of farm products and of horse feeds. During the period 1930 to 1934, when the price of farm products dropped much more drastically than that of tractors, there was practically no shifting from horses to tractors on the farms included in the study. . The percentage of farms operated with horses averaged about 26 per cent each year. . During this period, however, there was a shift from standard tractors to general-purpos- e Pats battered body wa on the ground under the engine. tractors, and this shift had an effect on numbers of Pat, rather than face the engineers scolding, tucked himself under the trachorses, since general-purpos- e tors which are used for cultivating engine, never aware of his life being in the others hands, listening row crops replace more horses than for every breath, hoping the engineer would soon go away.
