There in quite a ktutc k In hltehlni; (rae tlun plow to an eiiRlne. The prnhlem Is to hltrh (ho plow to thn ennlno so that they will do the heat ponxlhlo work with (ho iea( expense. This nienna (hat (lie plow aliould tie ho adjusted as to Rive (he leant wu..llile dinft. Tho whole k ii n K ahould ho ao hltrhed (o (ho eiiKlne as (n reduce side dinft lo ( ho inlnlmuin and make It raster for (ho enKlno to pull tint plows and also to make the wear and (ear on (he i-iikIiio tho least possible. The hlteh should ho so made that (ho engine ran he lilirhed or un hitched with die least effort and loss ot time, )et sufficiently strung as to leave no danger of breaking. The exact details of how to do these tlilrms will depend, of course, a Kreut deal on the particular make of the plow which one Is iisIiik. Hi 1 11 there are certain fund amental principle which apply in hitch ing all plows of similar type. For In stance, thn plows should be hitched so that the engine will travel as closo as it ran to tho edge of the furrow without crushing tho land side. This nialiea It handler for (he engine driver. It also makes 1( easy for him (o drlvo a straight furrow. In (he second plare, thn sldo draft on tho enftlno must bo kepi at n minimum. Wo all know how hard l( Is on horses to bo pullliiK sideways wlih one tun longer than tho other. Wn know it will wenr a horse out nnd give him soro shoulders and nock quicker than n heavier load which pulls atralKht. Side draft acta Just tho samo way on an engine. An you In crease tho side draft you decrease tho total net load which tho etiRlno pulls, and you Increase the wenr, (ear nnd dninnco on tho engine. With a plowing outfit tho engine la tho most expensive part and ahould ho favored most. Do Not Overwork Tractor. When working to tho maximum of ca pacity there is a tendency for your en gine to get hot. It doesn't do an engine nny good to get no hot thnt your cylin der go "ping, ping." When your engine getg this hot with a anuenklng, saueuIliiK aound It Indicates that tho pressuro of tho piston against (he sides of tho cylinder is too grout. Your piston hits hecoino so hot that It has swelled oui and your cyl inder walls have swelled in and the pressuro between (ho (wo hua become ab normally high. The wear of your piston and cylinder walls is too gnat, (ho lubri cating oil is very apt to bum and tho piston rings will wear still moro until In time when the engine Is running at nor mal temperature, (hero will be a certain amount of leakage between piston rings and cylinder walls and yon lose power. So If one desires to purchase a traction engine he should make up his mind that ho must learu that engine thoroughly, that he must operate It, carefully, must examine it frequently, must make all re pairs and adjustments Immediately. He can rest assured thnt If he does these things and has a good, well-built engine It will lust him Just as long as the aver age farm horse laslB, when working the same time.
