MAKING IDE FARM TRACTOR EARN ITS "KEEP" IN WINTER h Winter While the Hone ia Standing in Hia Stall, This Fordaon Tractor ia Kept at Work. rpHE tractor cost* considerably I less to .keep thanthe horse during the winter period of comparative inactivity, but even during that period it can be put to a fairly active routine of work that will more than pay for its "keep". On most farms there ia wood to be hauled, sawed and stacked and, of course, the tractor in this case can do the work of several teams and many men--and do it in the face of such difficulties as snow and sleet. But more and more the progressive farmer is finding other important work which his light tractor can perform in the winter time and thus make use of much of the time which used to go to waste on the average farm. The Agricultural Department of the State College of Pennsylvania, is now conducting a series of experiments which are developing new uses for tractors on the farm and is making investigations to ascertain how farmers in various sections of the country afc*. employing their farm power units. . In thia work, the State«CoIlege has found that a great many farmers are employing some of their winter time for the threshing of grain and here, of course, the tractor has been found invaluable". Many farmera also use their tractors for operating fodder chopping maichines and for furnishing "power for horn* grist mills. Then there is always a certain amount of road work in the country districts in winter and many of the most progressive farmers have found that they can put their farm tractors to work for the county end state governments in scraping, rolling and repairing country roads. The work of clearing snow from the highways in winter also offers opportunities to the farmer to make his tractors work for the upkeep , in winter. So, the "power farmer" is keeping himself and his equipment busy in winter--much busier than he was w!*fcn he depended upon mules and horses. Pare Milk Speaker Here On Thursday evening of last week H. D. Allebach of Philadelphia spoke at the high school auditorium on "What Proper Cooperation Can Accomplish for Dairymen Supplying Milk to Chicago."

R. Draper entertained a few old friends at their home Monday evening in honor of Mr. and Mrs. Ray Thomas of Morton Grove.

Elbert Thomas and Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Whiting. MAKES TRIP BY BUS PENNSYLVANIA Mf|." Agne&s Went worth Enjoys Novel Journey To Old Home in The East Mrs. Agness Wentworth took a very interesting three weeks' trip from Oct. 3 i to Oct. 23 at which time she visited relatives at Mansfield, Pa., which was also her mother's old-home. The trip was made by bus which was a npvel and enjoyable mode of travel. The Yelloway Bus line In which the trip was made is the best and safest of its kind. The bus line checks baggage taking it along with the passengers, sometimes on top of the bus and sometimes in front. They stop about every fifty miles for a rest and refreshments and use every precaution for safety such as stopping before crossing railroad tracks, etc. In the state of Ohio at every street corner and crossing where there have been persons killed there has been placed a large white cross to mark the spot and in some places there would be as many as four crosses. in one place. They passed through some wonderful country where they had all the grapes they could eat as well as maple sugar and maple syrup. The party of five traveled by way of Detroit to Cleveland traveling all night and arriving in Cleveland at 7:30 a. m. They then went to Erie and then to Elmira, N. Y., where they boarded a gasoline car traveling around the mountains for their destination at Mansfield where they visited Mrs. Wentworth's uncle, who is eighty-eight years old and whom she had never seen. Many side trips were taken by the travelers and one of these was a trip to Watkin's Glen which is called the Switzerland of Amwica. They drove to the highest point 535 feet high and also walked down the two and one-half miles. The scenery was most beautiful with the trees of many bright hues scattered over the hills. Watkin's Qlen is in the grape country near Kenka Lake where the grapes were selling for $4.00 a ton. They also visited Horse Heads, a historical town where a great battle was fought during the Revolution. This is also a great coal country where it is nothing to see a train with fifty or sixty cars of coal. They drove through acres and acres of celery and the trip was very interesting. On Sunday, Oct. 16, a family reunion was held and about twenty-five relatives spent the day together. , A visit was also made to Lawrenceville, where the dividing line between New York and Pennsylvania runs through the center of the village. They gathered mountain laurel and wintergreen berries and ferns which grow in profusion. Natural gas was used in this town for lighting and it is kept burning day and night as it is cheaper than to break the mantle as is done when the gas is turned out. A trip was made to Mrs. Wentworth mother's x>ld home at Tioga, which has been in the family for 125 years. The old log house is gone but two old covered bridges still stand. The country is a most beautiful one with its mountains, streams and wonderful scenery. The mountains are also full of rattlesnakes. Oil wells were also visited and roads were traveled which were cut out of solid rock, one place in particular taking seventeen tons of dynamite to make 470 feet of road at a cost of one million dollars. At every village, river, creek or point of interest in Pennsylvaina there is a marker with blue and gold letters with the name of the place which is particularly liked by tourists. A most unusual and unique curiosity was the ice well which is at the top of a mountain and which is a deserted silver mine where a shaft had been sunk. In the hottest weather in summer the ice hangs about the well three or fop* feet in thickness and in the winter time there is no ice. Scientists say there is some mineral which causes the ice to form and the air coming from this mineral meets the air at the top of the well forming ice. Factories and saw mills were visited and old log cabins, covered bridges 100 years old, stump fences and cord after cord of wood piled up ready to make wood alcohol were only ft few of the interesting things seen. The Alleghany mountains with an altitude of 2,063 feet above the sulphur factories and glass factories are plentiful in this part of the country, also. The coke ovens were an unusual sight and could be"* seen 'for miles in every direction. The return trip was made from Pittsburg, where Sec. Mellon's home and interesting points were visited, by bus on the Susquehenna Trail and also on the Roosevelt highway to Cleveland. From there they went to Detroit and thence to Chicago after a wonderfully interesting and instructive trip.
