TRACTOR STOOK-LOADER Milverton Man's Invention--Success- ful Demonstration Given ar <a On Saturday evening in the pres- ence of several hundred people Mr. E. H. Gropp gave a demonstration on Main street of the work of the stook- loader that he has assembled and con- structed for the inventor, Mr. H. D. Schneider, of Brunner, A stook of oat sheaves was placed upon the street and the loader was driven for- ward at a rapid rate by a tractor and a single sheaf and elevate it to the top where it passed to the chute lead- ing to the wagon rack (the latter part has not yet-been attached. The idea of the invention was con- ceived by Mr. Schneider some years ago when he observed loading and threshing methods in the North West- ern Provinces. He concluded that some*effective means were necessary if the harvest help problem was to be improved if not solved and after sev- eral years of. research, experimental and demonstrative, he designed the Rapid Tractor Loader. The loader is designed upon an entirely new but natural principle, differing vastly from any that has thus far appeared on the harvest fields of: our Great West or any other wheat growing country in the world. The design }is such that the side draft is entirely and positively eliminated, hence square draft loaders. The object of Monday evening, for the purpose of at Milverton. president, R.

Zimmerman, A. this is obvious since a loader capable (of grasping a stook and elevating it from the ground within five seconds, requires to be of rigid construction and so arranged as to meet the stook The drum or picker reel is supported at the front of the main frame, the entire weight of the ma- chine thus being carried squarely be- tive grasp. The unnecessary and wasteful! threshing of grain from sheaves, com- mon with other loaders is practically eliminated by a chute so mounted at the top of the incline carrier as to sheaves without dropping them any needless height. The chute in turn passes the sheaves to the left side and discharges them into basket racks commonly used in western fields. Owing to the very unsatisfac- tory experience common with the use of the horse propelled loaders due to the tiring of the horses and the con- sequent slowing down of speed, re- sulting in loss and inefficiency, the in- ventor -has applied motor power to this machine. Some of the advantages of the Tractor Loader are apparent: the op- erator's seat and control devices are so placed as to afford him at all |times full view of the ground over which he has to travel, of the stooks he must squarely engage and the wagons as they are loaded. The pow- er provided to operate the loader is supplied by means of a Fordson Tractor which is detached when the loader is not at work and may be used for anything else the operator may desire. The critical labor situation that has marked western threshing opera- tions will be greatly minimized as much less help will be required: for instance--a ten team threshing out- fit will cost $100 per day to operate. The half of this can be saved by the tractor loader and not only that, he saves board and half the teams: when tractor is not running. Mr. Schneider has his invention protected by the filing of applications for patents at Ottawa and Washing- ton and the machine is now controlled by Mr. Schneider and his associates among whom are several local men, Owing to the war and other unfor- seen obstacles the appearance of the full sized loader has been greatly de- layed. ut Mr. E. H .Gropp and Mr. Schneider recently entered into an agreement that the original loader was to be prepared and assembled in capasig © at the Gropp garage.' In return for his efforts Mr. Gropp has secured a large interest in both the loader completed at an early date in its entirety when a demonstration .of the loader will be given at which - |he will have present the heads of the Not a few are experiencing great and liabilities. The government has committed itself to this method of collecting revenue and there is noth- ing left but to get busy and make out the required statement. It is plain- 'ly evident all business men and farm- ers will have to kee in greater detail. The keeping of a rent. chiens ome around guess difficulty about filling out the state- ment of their income and resources their accounts cash book and a day book will hardly 'suffice; nothing short of a modern system of accounting will give the ata required.

AN UNWELCOME VISITOR A week ago Sunday morning Mr. Phillip Sippel after getting up ob- served a fox standing gazing at him in proximity of his poultry house. He immediately drove him off but Rey- nard followed him back to within a hundred yards of the barn. Mr, Sip- pel on making an inventory of his fowl found that he had 22 chickens left out of 60. These he immediately closed up. Among the stocks in his oat field he found scattered here and there the carcasses of chickens, some partly devoured and others merely killed. Reynard "not willing to leave a preserve which afforded such sport Mr. Sippel was under the necessity of notifying the sports of the village when several of them went in quest of him. A bullet from the rifle of Mr. F. Zimmerman found its billet in his body ended the depredations of the marauder. N. A. ZIMMERMANN. MILVERTON, ONT.
