The Misfit Farm Engine 
Everywhere we go we find misfits on 
the farm, and the farm engine is no ex¬ 
ception. The day was when the farm 
owner turned over in his sleep, and 
moaned, “Oh. for an engine of any type 
to do my drudgery.’' Today it is differ¬ 
ent. What we want is an engine that 
will not only do our drudgery, pump our 
water, separate our cream, do our grind¬ 
ing aud shelling, .saw our wood and shred 
our fodder, and even thriish out our 
grain, but it must fit the job. It must 
be of the proper power to be operated 
economically. High cost of fuel is one 
item, but not all the question. If we 
want a motor engine to lighten the work 
j of the women folks iu washing, ironing,' 
I churning, separating the cream and 
wringing out tlie clothes, the same little 
engine will pump our wat<‘r to the tanks, 
grind our feed, run the cider press in 
the orchard, operate the spray pumps, 
turn the grindstones and emery wheels, 
operate the s.ausage grinder at butchei’- 
ing time, and a dozen other light chores 
about the farm in a yesir, but if we want 
to shred fodder, grind a wagonload of 
feed quickly, shell a load of corn, thrash 
out our small grain, turn the fiinniiig 
mill or saw up our log.s into wood, we! 
must hiive a heavier, higher-powered I 
motor that goes into the labor with a 
; vim iind determination. We know .some 
farmers who are pounding tlieir light- 
powered engines to death trying to miike 
them do tliis hesivy work. Tlie result is 
just the same iu the end a;j that of try¬ 
ing to break up a deep furrow with a 
light team of driving horses. We must 
fit our engine i)ow<>r to the labor we are 
expecting it to perform, :iud the best 
time to do this is Avith the first buy, not 
like the other fellow we know, avIio found 
his first engine too light for the pur¬ 
pose, and lost liiilf the viiliie in a trade 
for a heavier motor after discovering 
his mi.stake. 
Make up your mind what you are go¬ 
ing to expi’et of your motor; then you 
can buy intelligently. If for tlie women 
folks aud their couveuieueo then have 
one tliat is us light jis possible to do the 
prop-T stunts, then they can turn it 
over in st.arting it if you do not happen 
to be iiard by. If for your general farm 
ojieratioiis .at the barn and workshop, 
then ;i heitvier one that will tiiki' hold 
and give you satisfaction. It is a Ava.ste 
of fuel either way if you try to operjtte 
!i liglit engine ;it heavy work or use a 
lieavy motor to pi’rform liglit task.s. 
There are more misfits on the farm 
right now in the motor kingdom than any 
other line, but miiuy of us are learning 
to buy more intelligently when we pur¬ 
chase again. Same way witli the trac¬ 
tor now becoming popular. Figure into 
the future just what you are likely to 
expect of it; then you will likely buy in¬ 
telligently, and be pleased with the pow¬ 
er it is furnishing you in your t.isks.

CABLE BASE 
The quality proof of a tire is in its service. 
And country driving is the supreme test. 
Federal Tires are built with an exception¬ 
ally tough tread, which not only yields 
service but gives greatest traction. 
They are safe tires, too. For in the base are built 
four heavy steel cables of exceptional tensile strength. 
These cables hold the tire securely to 
the rim under all conditions. Yet it 
slips off easily when required. 
Made in white Rugged and black 
Traffik tread and sold by leading 
dealers everywhere.

Killing Locust Stumps 
I notice* on imgo L’S4 .T. P,, I’asadcna, 
.Md., wishes to be advised of the best 
method of killing sjiroiits on locust i 
trees. I would like him to know whi.t 
my experience lias been with White 
birches, which send out .sprouts after 
the tree is cut as persistently and fre¬ 
quently as any tree known in Maine, 
anil at the same time I will .speak a 
good word for the sheep, which .at i>res-. 
eut ought to pay a good profit -with the 
high prices of wool aud mutton. .Fo r 
years ago we cut off' 20 acres of land 
that was covered with birch trees from 
three to six inches diameter. From ob¬ 
servation I should say ever.v one of 
1 these sprouted the following Spring. At : 
present there is not a live sprout at the 
j stump of a single one of these trees. 
We turned a fairly good-sized flock of 
sheep upon this area, to which we must 
give credit for these results. We have 
evidence that the siu’outs started, be¬ 
cause there are many little sticks arounn 
the groutul showing that they started, 
and the sheep taking away the leaves 
stopped the growth. The stumps are 
now rotting, aud many of them can he 
kicked over by the foot.
