Stationary Power From an Auto ; in ! in One of our readers who is interest-! er ed in power farming puts this ques-.00 tion: "As we have no engine to run | our wood saw, we would like to ask if it is feasih'e to jack up the rear, ^ end of our car and run a belt from one tire to the saw pulley. Would ' ^ such a method injure the tire undulv? Would it damage the differen* I rc tial? Would it give sufficient power? } Or would it be better to take off the ^ rear wheel and put thereon a pulley i to drive the saw?" It is impracticable to try to drive ' a wood saw by the method our friend } suggests. In the first place, it would j be almost impossible to keep a belt! on the automobile tire which would ic< be used as a drive pulley, though if j w this could be accomplished, little j P1 damage would be done the tire. Where cars have been used for power in this way it has been found more satisfactory to bolt a pulley to a the spokes of the wheel, rather than tc use the wheel itself for a drive pul- n" ley, or remove the jvheel and replace it with a suitable pulley. w Jacking up a wheel in this way ^ and using it for power, however, can- 01 not help but injure the differential, E because it will be worked full capa- ?' city. In actual road operation the Q' differential has little to do. It works 'a only when a curve is turned, but in this case it would all the time be n' working at just the same speed as if the car were to rear on the back wheels and then spin around and around in the smallest possible circle. The automobile engine, if in good w condition, would without doubt develop sufficient power to operate the ?1 wood saw. The question would be, ei however, whether or not this would ^ necessitate operating the motor at w too high a speed, for the automobile w motor depends almost wholly on 01 speed for power. Before attempting a venture of ^ this kind, a farmer should be very PJ sure in his mind that it is the most economical thing for him to do to use his car for such power. He must ai consider that he is using a machine ** || that costs from $500 to $1,500 or w - more to do the work of a machine " that can be boaght for $200 to $500 " Should an expensive machine be bi worn out when a cheaper one will P' do? 01 The fact that the average automo- *"c bile engine will heat when operated I 1Pa.11 an i .

"Thi KINGSTREE, = = this manner should also be taken ai to consideration, and if work cov- in ing long periods of operation is w ntemplated, we would advise that ta e plan be abandoned altogether. at If it seems desirable to use the ai itomobile for stationary power, af- ol r considering all these things, it ould be better for our reader to buy te of the various power attachments ) the market. These slip under the ar wheels and power is taken from ^ )th wheels instead of one?thereby ^ iminating the wear of the diflferenals. * bi o m The "Best" Water System C( tj We have had several letters re?ntly asking what is the "best" ^ ater system for farm homes. In re- g ly we will say that there is no ai >est" water system. g, The man who wants a water sys- (j( >m on his farm should simply make judicious use of the money he has ^ > expend in meeting his1 individual g, eeds and conditions. w There are two general kinds of jr ater systems on the farm. One is w le elevated tank system and the js ;her is the compressed air system jB ither one of these systems can be fi( Dtained in almost any size. The S( jestion of which of those particu-1 ir systems shall be bought must ^ spend on the farmer's individual jr eeds. * : N.nere the farmer has a basement > his farm home and an electric1 ^ ghting plant, the compressed air g /stem operated by a motor gives w ood service. On the other hand, hen there is no basement to the ti juse, and if there is no power to ft aerate a water system, many farm- ;s rs will find it advisable to install b< le elevated tank system with a indmill. Especially is this true a] here winds are brisk at all seasons ' the year. *" Still others may find it advisable j i use the tank system of large ca- I icity for watering horses and cat- = e and for furnishing water for the B irm home, and do the pumping by B i engine. This is often true where lere is need for a large amount of || ater. * As we have already said, in a va- = ety of styles, power and tank com- * nations, and the farmer must sim- B - v:_ :? y stuuy iiio iiiuiv juuui u?u , it what manufacturers have to of- jj ;r, and then select equipment.

A fully equipped grain tspection office will be arranged ith exactly the same equipment as used by licensed grain inspectors i the large markets and in the ofces of the Federal grain supervi>r. In order to make a demonstration loroughly practical, farmers will be ivited to bring samples of wheat, idled corn, and oats in order that! may be shown how grains are de- j jrmincd. At this demonstration rains will be handled in the same ay as at any actual inspection. The importance of this demonstraon is emphasized by the fact that le United States Grain Corporation requiring that the Federal grades .? applied by country buyers, and, i the further fact that properly splied grades insure a premium.
