What You DON'T GET in an Avery Tractor 
Y our success with a tractor depends about as much on what you don’t get in 
its construction as on what you do. Here are some things you don*t get when you buy an Avery: 
You don’t get any fuel pump, water pump, fan, sprocketchains, belts, outside lubricator, counter¬ 
weights on the crankshaft, third crankshaft bearing, second clutch or intermediate gear or shaft. 
All these trouble-makers were eliminated when the Avery Tractor was designed. 
What You DO GET 
You get a powerful, low-speed, lon^-lived, special 
opposed tractor motor—a crankshaft so strong no 
owner ever broke one—renewable inner cylinder 
walls, patented sliding frame, two-speed grear, all 
spur gear transmission, four wheels, double drive, 
Avery Tractors are built by a company owning a 
large factory and many branch houses where eom* 
plete repair stocks and a service force are maintained. 
The Avery line includes five regular size tractors— 
8*16, 12-25, 18-36, 25-50 and 40-80 h.p., and special 
5-10 h.p. Plows and Threshers in all sizes—and

ber slops, or dissolved nitrate of soda 
can be poured over the pile of coal ash¬ 
es. The ashes absorb the liquid, and 
then when they dry out the plant food 
is left, so that when the ashes are broad¬

themselves have any plant value worth 
considering. The results they give come 
aside from their plant food value. 
Transplanting Wild Evergreens 
I wish to transplant for ornamental 
work about my house some small White 
pine and hemlock, growing in fields near 
me. These trees will run from two to 
eight feet high. Can you give me direc¬ 
tions on just how to do it, to insure 
their living when transplanted? 
Wilawana, Pa. n. K. c. 
Wild hemlock and White pine are in 
most cases quite difficult to transplant, 
except when small, then they may be 
transplanted with very small percentage 
of loss. After they have reached* a 
height of three feet and larger, success 
is more or less doubtful, and increases 
according to increased size of the trees. 
If the soil in which they are gi-owing is 
of a heavy adhesive nature, so that the 
trees may he moved with a ball of earth, 
success will be more assured. The best 
plan to pursue in the transplanting of 
wild evergreens of the sizes mentioned 
and larger is to give them a year’s pre¬ 
paratory treatment before removal. This 
is done by cutting all the horizontal roots 
in early Spring. If the ground is com¬ 
paratively free from stone, this opera¬ 
tion may he easily perfoi’mod with a good 
sharp garden or ditching spade, and con¬ 
sists of plunging the spade its full length 
in a circle around the tree, severing all 
the horizontal roots, the diameter of 
the circle varying from 12 to 14 inches 
for trees three feet high, up to IS to 
24 inches for trees eight to 10 feet high. 
If the ground is stony, then a pick or 
mattock will have to be employed in the 
work; in that case, all the severed roots 
should be cut smooth with a sharp knife 
and the soil cai-efully replaced around the 
ball of earth and firmed with the feet. 
The object of this preparatory work is 
to force the trees to make abundant 
fibrous root growth, which they almost 
invariably do, which insures the soil ad¬ 
hering to the roots when the tree is re¬ 
moved to new quarters, thus reducing the 
chances against the tree living to a min¬ 
imum. The trees should be removed' to 
their new quarters early the following 
April. K.

LIMESTONE 
One of the most profitable effects 
from applying limestone to the 
soil is the plant-food it liberates. 
To make this food instantly 
available to growing crops, lime¬ 
stone must be finely pulverized. 
SOLVAY Pulverized Limestone 
is ground to a fineness^ which 
makes it immediately active and 
productive of bigger crops.

Planting Pumpkins with Corn 
I would like to ask the following ques¬ 
tion of some of your expert farmer read¬ 
ers who have experience in New York 
and New Jersey conditions. Is it prac¬ 
tical to plant squash or pumpkin seed 
when planting corn, that is, in the hills 
between the corn in the rows, and is 
there a drill made that will plant both 
seeds in one planting, that is on a large 
scale? I had read somewhere that 
squash and pumpkin could be so planted, 
and that the vines would not run until 
cultivating of the corn was over. The 
idea seemed to be that the squash seed 
was to be planted practically in the hills 
with the corn, so cultivating between the 
rows would not be impeded until the 
vines began to run. w. B. V, G. 
Portland, Ore. 
We would like to have the opinion of 
farmers regarding this matter. In some 
cases the squash and pumpkins are 
planted with the corn. Where the corn is 
drilled the seed is put in alternate rows, 
or when in hills, they plan to have the 
squash vines 10 or 12 feet apart each 
way. The practice varies in this. Some 
good crops are obtained in this way, al¬ 
though as a rule the pumpkins interfere 
somewhat with the corn, and do not give 
a full yield. The vines interfere con¬ 
siderably with cultivation, in the latter 
part of Summer, and when the season Is 
dry both crops suffer from a lack of 
moisture. In a moist season, good crops 
of pumpkins are grown in this way, but 
cultivation is more expensive and the 
weeds work in. Farmers are divided in 
their opinion about the value of this kind 
of culture, and we would like to hear 
from them with practical results. Sev¬ 
eral drills advertised in The R. N.-Y. 
will plant pumpkin and corn seed to¬ 
gether.
