Nona of tha exhibits at tb Land Bhow
la attracting more attention than ih
great gaa traction engine which are
playing ao Important a part In th de
velopment of th west. Every farmer,
very land man, ovoryone who la Inter
ested In tho opening up of tho thousands
of acre not yet put under the plow, real
ise whai the great entclnee mean in the
work of transforming arid acres Into fer
tile: fields and making the bar prairie to
blossora like the rose.
Tb remarkable Illustration accompany
ing Uila article ahowa three of these en
gines at work on a tract of 22,;0u acres
la Chynao county, Colorado. The
thre engines have broken thl aeaaon
more than s.OOi) acres of tough prairie

An automatic aelf-steeiing device make
It possible for on man to run both an

An exhibition of plowing by thes ma
chine will b given at Thirtieth and
Kpencer streets tills afternoon.
Strange to say, It la only within th
laat decade that many farmer hav
awakened to tho fact that bora traction
la a very expanalv and Inefficient form
of power. For ao many years th fanner
has been uaed to raring for his horaea
that he ha come to take tha labor aad
asp" aa a matter of course, not real
ising that the average annual cost of
maintaining a farm work horse l ap
proximately too and that all h get a out
of tho animal lu return is three hour
of work a day througout th year. It la
only within th laat tew yaar that farra
r generally hav begun to reallso what
heavy expenao they ar under In hous
ing, feeding and taking car of their
horses through th long winter, whan
thy ar doing prmctloaaly no work, in
order that thoy may hav thetn whn
tha aeaaon of aoUv work begin. Thr
ta a good deal of work In caring for a
horse, if It Is properly car4 for, ar.c'
that must b men to do It and thei
men must b boused and fed and paid.
'i he modern gas ,tt..o.or, when, if la
not wo.k.og, ntuli't m car no av
tentlon, and abto.u.e'.y no expense' can
fce thargiu to lu other than interest on
the Investment and depreciation, both
of which should also b charged In figur
ing th expens of hori traction but
seldom ar. Th tractor stands allot
and old in lu shod all wlnUr long, un
less It Is desired to uses It for sawing
wood or some other form of stationary
work. At a turn, of the rrank It la ready
to do th work of thirty horaea. Tho mo
ment Ita motor ceasea to work tb ex
pense, other than Interest and deprecia
tion stop absolutely.
In considering th valuo of a tractor,
tho fh-st point In Its genersi utility or
.the all-around serrlo which It per
form. Th tractor, for Instance, which
ran be used only on hard, firm ground,
s In breaking, or for stationary work,
such as thrashing, I an expense invest
ment for th farmer, bnraua be must
keep a large number of horaea through
out the year In order to do the many
other klnda of work. The modem gas
tractor, with Ita light weight and high.
wid wheela, can travel, with eaa over
oft ground and can, therefore, be used
In drilling, harrowing, discing and har
vesting, m addition to th heavier work
of breaking and threshing ; It, therefor,
provide th farmer with a portable
power plant with which he can do prac
tically an hi work and which .enable
him almost entirely to do without horaea
In farming, aa perhaps In no other
business, almost everything depend upon
doing thing at th proper time and get
ting them done quiokly. Horse can do
only so much, and th farmer can work
hi horse only so many hours a day.
The engine owner can work hta angina
night and day If he want to, plowing
fifty to seventy-five acres every twenty
four hours, and keeping It up without
fear of tiring his engine or wearing it
is in Juki this particular that the
modern gaa tractor ia worth so much to
the farmer. The greatest value la not In
Ita ability to do hu plowing and other
farm work at a much lower cost than
that of doing It with horses, but in the
fact that It enables him to do hi work
Just when ha wants to do It. and to get
through with It quickly, while soil and
weather conditions ar Just right. Tho
modern gas tractor of thirty-horsepower
will break from twenty-five to forty
acre a day. tubbl-plow twnty-flv to
fifty acres, harvest sixty to 100 acres.
Furthermore, th tractor enable the
farmer to perform two or three different
operations. In one trip across ths field
that la, to pult several different Imple
ments, ons behind th other. Farmer
frequently plow, harrow and drill at one
operation. With four tan-foot drills and
two twenty-foot drags behind, two men
can drill and drag 100 to 150 acres a day
at leu than 20 cents an acre.
With tha modern gas tractor the
farmer can plow as he never could with
horses. Plowing la tough work for
Worses at best, and the farmer has a
natural disinclination to overwork them
by throwing his plows In a deep' as he
would if ho had no regard for the source
of his power. Th tractor owner haa no
compunctions on this score; ha can "sock
'em In" good and deep, with no fear of
tiling his engin or wearing It out. Fur
thermore, he can take the time to "plow
mor thoroughly, becaus he can cover
o much greater an area In a given time.
Th tractor enable the farmer not only
to'plow more deeply and to do bis plow
ing in less tlm. but also to get his
threshing out of th way earlier and
thus turn to hi fall plowing earlier.
In a word, th modern farm tractor
