it a six months' trial.
A t a recent demonstration at
Purdue University
three 30-
horsepower
kerosene engines
hitched to one giant plow o f fifty
bottoms broke all known records
for plowing. This
twentieth
century monster broke out a
strip nearly sixty feet wide at
each trip, plowing at a rate o f
an acre every 41-4 minutes.
Four men, three engineers and a
plowman, handled the valves and
levers o f an outfit that equaled
the work o f fifty men with sulky
plows and a hundred and fifty
straining horses.
As Edison has said, a horse is
the poorest motor ever built. He
eats 10 pounds o f food for every
hour he works. He eats 12,000
pounds o f food a year. He eats
the whole output o f five acres.
And yet his thermal efficiency is
only 2 per cent.
As a recent government re­
port shows, a farm horse aver­
ages 3 1-2 hours o f work a day.
He tires out in six hours, so that
we may fairly assume a tractor
to be as powerful as 25 horses,
as enduring as 100 horses; and
about as expensive as ten.
A horse is cumbrous, too, as
well as efficient. He requires
750 cubic feet o f barn.
He and
his feed require 3,250 cubic feet.
A ll told, our horses and mules
consume in a year 73,000,000
tons o f hay— an immense bulk
which has to tie produced and
handled. I f all the horse-food
were grown in one vast farm,
that farm would be as large as
Iowa, Indiana, Illinois and Ohio
combined.
The feed o f a work horse costs
$55 to $60 a year and other items
bring the total to $100, or more
than 10 cents for each hour at
work.
The fact about the horse, that
he burns hay for fuel, makes
him enormously expensive. No
other engine costs as much per
horsepower as horses do at pres­
ent.
The tractor does not require
attention when not at work.
Thirty million work animals,each
taking twenty-seven minutes o f
a man’ s time every day,mean an
enormous waste o f human ener­
gy. The time spent annually in
caring for one horse will keep in
perfect condition a tractor with
the power o f thirty horses.
The tractor will endure hard
work twenty-four hours a day
instead o f nine and outlive the
average horse in hours o f ser­
vice. Its fuel is much more con­
centrated
than food for the
horse, and a tractor with a year’ s
fuel supply can be sheltered in a
tenth o f the space required for
horses o f equal power and their
feed.
Horse-owners are today being
compelled
to use trucks and
tractors. N o matter what ob­
jections they may have in their
minds, there is nothing else to
do. The present situation can­
not be handled with horses; and
it can be handled with machin­
ery.
The horse, after all, is an op­
tical delusion, so fa r as power is
concerned. He is not as strong
as he looks. Practically all o f his
pulling is done with one hind
leg. His front legs are pilot
legs mainly, like the pilot wheels
o f a locomotive.
They serve
more to hold up the w eight o f
the body than to pull the load.
I f a horse were made o f steel,
like a gas engine, in fact, lie no
larger than a waste basket or a
soap box. Being a hay motor,he
had to
E)e made enormously
large in proportion to hi3 power.
W e find the same result when
we compare the cost o f the trac­
tor with the cost o f the horse.
With a team o f horses, costing
$500, one man can plow 100 acres
at a cost o f $250. yet, with a
tractor costing $3,000, one man
can plow 100 acres at a cost o f
$150.
By its rapid work the tractor
renders the farmer less depen­
dent on Providence and insures
greater yields by givin g him the
upper hand o f unfavorable con­
ditions.
Every five square miles o f
plowing with a horseplow means
a distance traveled o f 25,000
miles. It means a single furrow
around the whole earth. Merely
to plow enough land for one loaf
o f bread requires a single furrow
fifty feet long.
