TRACTOR FEATURES GIVEN DESCRIPTION Pfnlons, -Wheeijand Control of f -: Model S-25, Sieve-Grip, Are Explained. '.'.Fof tb benefit those expecting to Attend the forthcoming tractor demon Btration on the Cotton. Kuew and Fhenlx ranches thU week or those -acquainted with the conatraction of the garason sieve-trip tractor, the following information relative to four of the lead Ins;, feature of the model 8-25 is riven below : ." Bieve-Orlp Wheel The sieve-grip wheel Is one solid piece of steel with no parts riveted or bolted on that can work loose and be lost Its skeleton tread permits no possibility of soil packing. The an gular grips afford ample traction over the rank vegetation of cover crops and over loose plowed ground. It is more important that a light tractor be able to work efficiently over plowed ground than be useful only in plowing. Lubricated Roller Pinions Both the sieve-grip wheels on the Samson trac tor are driven by lubricated roller pin ions. These replace the common spur gear which Is ordinarily used in final drive. As the teeth of the bull gear merely press against the rollers of the roller pinion as they roll on and off, a minimum of friction occurs. The roller pinion Is composed of hardened and ground steel rollers. Lubricant is forced through grease channels from the com pression grease cup to the center of each roller. As the lubricant la In this way forced, to the center of the bearing and allowed to work out at each end, no dust' or frit can work In to cause- excessive wear. The. axles of the drive wheels and front wheel are also equipped with roller bearings, and the same method of lubri cation is employed, Kodust-Molsto-Rlser For many years the motor of Samson sieve-grip tractors baa been regarded as dustproot. This Is an 4 achievement In tractor building which adds many years to the life of the tractor. Proectlon Is given to the cyl inders and qrank-case "vent" by a pat anted Nodust-Molsto-Rizer. All air that enters the motor Is "washed" free from all particles of dust and grit Not only does this protect the engine from wear owing to the elimination of dust, but the . air, passing through water, absorbs moisture which reduces the accumula--' tlon of carbon. This moist air is fed i through the air Intake of the carburetor. Automatic Motor Speed Control A ball-and-dlsk type governor on the Sam son tractors affords an automatic con trol of the motor's speed. This Is ad justable from the seat of the tractor, and any speed from 1 to 3 Vi miles per hour can be obtained. The principle of this governor Is the action of the cen trifugal force of six balls between the beveled surfaces of two steel disks. A governor arm Is tensioned by a non-com-pfesslble spring, making a very sensitive and positive control. When this gov ernor Is set to run the motor at any de Sired speed from 450 to 900 revolutions : per minute. It will run at that speed re . gardless of load up to the capacity of 'the motor. Such an arrangement is es pecially useful in threshing and other stationary work In which a variable load , demands uniform power for efficient op eration. Bean threshing requires accu- rate gevernor control because heavy and wet bundles cause constant fluctuations in power demand. At such times a slack ing of speed cannot be tolerated, as It means a loss of beans. No variation of engine speed is permitted with this quick ' acting ball and disc type governor. It will not permit racing of the engine nor 'allow a perceptible slacking In speed nder heavy pulL M) WOMEN WATCH FORESTS IN LONELY - CABIN HIGH IN AIR Communication Maintained With K, Civilization by Telephone; Bears Frequently Seen.'

NEW AGRICULTURAL , IMPLEMENT MAKES SOIL EASY TO TILL Eliminates Harrowing, Discing and Rolling While Plowing; Impresses All Experts. A new agricultural Implement that absolutely eliminates the necessity of harrowing, discing and rolling, and that performs these operations while plowing, has been demonstrated to several agri cultural colleges and their professors. Not only does it perform these opera tions in the time it takes to do the plow ing but it prt-pares a perfect seed bed at the same time. Thoughtful farmers everywhese have given more and more attention in the recent years te the proper preparation of the seed bed, but up to the advent of this machine there has been nothing on the market that would accomplish this desired result without more work than the average farmer was willing to do. In this day and age, every farmer realizes that it is necessary to produce the maximum of crops with the minimum of labor. This is very necessary because of the high cost of labor as well as the high cost of farm land. Seep Tilling Is Important Up to the present time it has been out of the question for the American farmer to accomplish the profitable deep tilling that results from the laborious methods of the European farmer. Yet, we have known for a long time that deep plow ing pays and pays big, and we all recog nize the advantages under all conditions and circumstances of what Is known as dry farming, which Is nothing more or less than deep cultivation. But in order to get this result It has required more labor and more time than many farmers have been willing to put in. To a young manl graduate of the University of Minnesota Agricultural college, belongs the fame for having as sisted In developing a new agricultural implement, known as the "Once-Over" tiller, which promises to revolutionize farming. Guy E. Lincoln has brought out the most practical and valuable im provement made on plows. Attachment Is Easily Applied The "Once-Over" tiller attachment Is easily and quickly attached to the ordi nary sulky plow, and consists of a steel tooth rotor, set to the right of the share and mold board. This rotor Is geared at the top to the shaft of a small, light weight and compact gasotlne motor, which whirls the rotor at about 500 rev olutions per minute. This rapidly revolv ing motor catches the liftings from the plow Just as the soil' turns over off the moldboard and the teeth of the rotor shred and tear the weeds, gass. roots, fertiliser and soil Into a finely pulverized mass, "throwing it out behind, making a perfect and mellow seed bed for the sow ing of any crop. The "Once-Over", tiller is manufac tured by the Scientific Farming" Machin ery company, Minneapolis. Minn., in two different sizes, one for the sulky plow and one for use with the tractor. The one for the sulky plow does not rfequire addltonal horses and Is run by the light weight gasoline engine. The one for use with the tractor can be operated by the tractor power. v Speech Returns as She Bids Farewell Northampton, Mass-, Aug. 31. (I. ' N. S.) "Oh. James," exclaimed Mrs. Mar tin S.

SOD PLOWING 1918 PROVES FATAL YEAR TO THE LEADING FLIERS OF GERMANY At Least 14 Hun Aviators, Each With Record of Many Vic tories, Are Downed. Paris, (by mail) Aug. 31. (I. N. S.) Up to the present the year 1918 has been disastrous for the German aviation. During the"' past six months 14 German" aviators, each one credited with more than 20 victories, have been killed or captured by the allies. Among those who have fallen are Captain vtn Rich thofen (eighty victories) ; Lieutenant von Bulow (28 victories) ; Captain Max Muller (38 victories) ; Captain von Tut scheck (27 victories; Lieptenant Fus thohhe (27 victories) ; Lieutenant Loet ser (24 victories). Bombing squadrons have also been hard hit by the allied airman. Captain Klein, chief of squadrons assigned to bombard London ; Captain Weeae, Cap tain Koehl and many others have been killed or captured. The year 1917 was likewise unfavor able for the German pilots. Thirty-two German airmen, whose victories alone amounted to 551, were given in the German casualty list as missing, killed or In the hands of the enemy. Wife Says Other Man Better One St Louis, Mo., Aug. 31. (I. N. S.)

Cop After Slackers Didn't Have Card Knoxville, Tenn., Aug. 31. (L N. S.) Amusing incidents occurred here during the "round-up of -more than 300 youths in 12 pool rooms. A deputy sheriff asked one of the patrolmen, who is tn the draft age and who was assisting In the "round up," to produce his final card. After making a few feeble excuses the patrol man had to admit that he did not have his final card with him. The situation was relieved, however. when the patrol man applied at his local board and se cured a card. r Brown Sugar Found Simply Fertilizer - Fort Wayne. Ind.. Aug. ' 8L fl. N. S.) George P.
