H DOWN & SONS, PHQNE 36 FLESHERTON USING FARMTRAGTORS Viewing the Matter as a Purely Business Proposition. Sitting Down to Couiit the Cost What the MachineM Cnn Do The Personal Factor In Tractor Management Important. (Contributed by Ontario Department of Agriculture, Toronto.) THE farmer, who is always of conservative nature, is not so readily convinced of the tractor's paying qualities. He 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 has seen 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 wunt of a spare part to replace a broken one. The result is that they iire 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 Koing twenty-four hours a day is the factory which gives the biggest re- turns. The same is ti;ue 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 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 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 will come to anywhere between $3.50 and $G.OO per acre, while other work shows i'.n 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 ti.'.c'or in iiat face consist mainly of Interest on money Invested, together with a reasonable allowance for de- preciation on the price of itself, plus the prii'O of any machinery bought expressly for use with the tractor. The price of a three-plough tractor is somewhere near $1,400; the ploughs cost $200. To this we must add say $500 for part ownership of a thresher ,iii(l silo-tiller. This makes $2.100 in all. The interest on this at 7 per cent. IH equal to $147.00, and the de- preciation of 10 per cent, per annum is equal to $210. or a total of $357, which our tractor must faco, no mat- ter how much or how little work it :loe. If the machine does only ten iluys of work PSM- year the cost of the overhead per day would be $35.70; if, howovcr, the machine is used for one hundred days the overhead drops In $3.57 per day. So that the greater thn number of days in which the tractor is employed per year the more profitable will the machine prove. There is plenty of work for n 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 Holds. Turning around, even with a small tractor, IB laborious work for both tho operator and the machine, and i.s not conducive to the maximum amount of work per day nor to the bout quality of work. Moat Ontario farms hnvo loo many fences for profitable horse-farming, to say nothing of using u tractor. Fences mean waste land; they harbor weoda, 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 llrst step toward fair piny for tho tractor. It is hard work to cultivate among stumps and boulders with horse:!. With a tractor It is impon- filhlo to do good work In such condi- tions. Tho (second step in arranging our work for the tractor is to removo all obstructions. Give the tractor a fair chance at Its work and It will not disappoint you. In Humming 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 thfc tractor. 2. The personal factor In tractor operation is so great that it alone niny cause suceess or failure. 3. When a tractor is kept busy enough, Its upkeep and overhead cost por year la 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. O. Heimpel, Kemptville Agricultural School. San- Manure. There has never been a time when the making, saving, and utilizing of all sorts of farm manure was so essential. All fertilizing material is high In price, and some kinds cannot be had in sufficient quantities at all. Farm manure may be used for a num- ber of purposes to a much greater advantage than commercial fer- tilisers. 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. f - "%( *' - - 1 1 * ' \ jffieJbuch c/ 'Courtesy 'Does ft THE courtesy with which patrons of The Bank of Toronto are treat- ed is a tradition of this institution and a matter of quiet pride with every employee.

Manilla Hemp the Most Serviceable Material Study the Twists Never Put Rope by When Wet A Good Whitewash. (Contributed by Ontario Department of Agriculture. Toronto.) TO rationally use a rope, to care for it properly so as to keep it in good condition, and to correctly repair breakages when necessary, some knowledge of the method and prin- ciples of its structure are necessary. The materials used in making coed- age consist of the various varieties of vegetable fibres: Manilla hump, common hemp, sisal hemp and cot- ton; flax, jute and cocoanut fibre are also used. Of these hemp is the most serviceable, because of its strength, suppleness, flexibility and durability. Ropes and twine of cotton are ex- tensively made; jute, too, because of its cheapness is now in considerable use, but it is very deficient in strength and durability; cocoanut fibre has many advantages, one of the greatest of which is its lightness and resistance to the influence of water. To produce a flexible and a tena- cious cord, which shall retain the col- lective strength of every fibre of the material of which it is composed, advantage is taken in the manufac- ture of cordage of the natural twist of the fibre. First, the fibres of the hemp are loosely twisted together, and form what is technically known as yarn. When two or three yarns are twisted together they forui a strand: three strands form a rope, and three ropes a cable. The ropes, are, in their turn, subjected to a var- iety of processes in order to insure their leaving an equal strain prior to their being combined into a cable. It has been found that the most effectual mode of obtaining the unit- ed strength of the fibres composing a rope is by compressing and twist- ing the fibres in different directions. If the strands were twisted one way only they would untwist themselvrs, and part at the slightest strain; how- ever, advantage is taken in the mak- ing of "rope" of this tendency to un- twist, by laying strands together that have been twisted in opposite direc- tions, producing a compact, hard, strong rope, bound together by fric- tion of its parts, neither breaking the fibres on the one hand, by over twist- ing, nor leaving them so loose as to be easily drawn but from the mass on the other; either would be equally fatal in its results, and injurious to the stability of the rope. As a broad general rule it should he borne in mind that the loss of bearing power by twisting is almost one-third, but the tighter twisted ropes gain in dur- ability what they lose 'in power. A twist of four-fifths of the length of the component yarns gives one-third more bearing power than if twisted to two-thirds of the length, which Is the ordinary twist of ropes in use. The weakening effect of knots In a rope is very considerable, varying from 35 to 50 per cent., according to the gradual or abrupt bending in the formation of the knot. At the bend of the knot the strain is no longer equally distributed among the fibres, the outside ones being unduly strained, eventually rupturing, throw- ing the load on the few remaining fibres, resulting in a complete break- age; hence, a knot that least affects the strength of a rope is one having a gradual bend in its formation: therefore, badly constructed knots should be avoided. A knowledge of the strength of ropes, and of their breaking weight, is essential in all operations where ropes are used. A hemp rope" one inch in diameter has an ultimate strength of about 6,000 pounds, and its safe working s'trength is about 800 pounds. A manilla rope is slightly stronger. For calculating the strength of ropes, a simple rule is to multiply the circumference of the rope in inches by itself, and one-fifth part of the product will express the number of tons the rope will carry. For example, if a rope be three Inches in circumference, 3X3: 9, the fifth of which is 1 4-5 the number of tons such a rope will sustain. When ropes get wet they should b hung up to dry, either In the sun, or by artificial means; not on any ac- count should they be stored befor* they are dry, nor should they be kept in a confined or damp place, where no air can get to them. Because of the twist given the rope in its manufacture, it should always be coiled "with the sun" and, in un- coiling it, the end first laid down should be the one first taken up, otherwise, the rope will twist and kink and jam in the pulley blocks. If for some special reason the end last laid down is required to be first drawn out turn the whole coil over, and then lead out the desired end. Prof. John Evans. 0. A. College, Guelph. Prepare a Good Whitewash. Slake a half bushel of litue with boiling water, keeping it covered dur- ing the process. Strain it. Add a peck of salt, dissolved in warm water; three pounds of ground rice put la boiling water and boiled to a thia paste; one-half pound of powdered Spanish whiting; one pound of clear glue dissolved in warm water. Mix well together and let the mixture stand for several days. Keep the wash thus made in a kettle or portable heater, and wben used put it on as hot as possible with painter's brushes or with whitewash brushes. Early Winter Hints. Attend now to any neglected r*i pairs of wagons, harness, Implements or machinery. So far as practicable repair work on the farm should be done on rainy days and during the winter > ninths. Keeping the vehtelea and- hatmesa In good repair may prevent a dangerous accident.
