An Engine on the Farm. 



Gasoline engines are being put to 

 many interesting uses, being important 

 factors in creating eOiciency and 

 economy in farm management. Gaso- 

 line engines are taking the place of 

 horses in many ways, being used for 

 power tractors and serving additional 

 purposes such as furnishing power for 

 driving feed cutters, pumping wafer, 

 running spray out-fits, etc. They are 

 serving a new purpose with the fruit- 

 growers in furnishing power for run- 

 ning the apple-grading machines and 

 sizers, which are being used universally 

 by orchardists. By the use of sizers 

 and graders the grower has found that 

 he can pack his crop more efTicienlly, 

 more economically, more uniformly and 

 better.

 about a prospective location. The Carey 

 Act projects in Utah are described and

The Panama-Pacific Exposition. — All 



fruit growers who can spare the time to 

 attend the Panama Pacific Exposition at 

 San Francisco and also the San Diego 

 Panama Exposition should do so, be- 

 cause these two expositions are the 

 most wonderful (hat have ever been 

 held anywhere in the United Slates.

 ticultural exhibits, whicli will provide 

 the fruit grower an oiiportunity of mak- 

 ing many observations and acquiring a 

 great deal of knowledge which will be 

 of much value to him in his business.
