Yet the power of seventy-five horses will jump and iiirob'in that engine, power enough to drive all this steel over the fluids ul eight-miles an hour, power enough to drag twelve gang plows four miles every sixty minutes. Tliis unfinished riiass of wheels rods is llio Gerling (raclion engine. It is something now.

It is untried. Models of it have done wonders, but the machine itself in work- n-dny business has never had the opportunity, to show what it ran do. More tlmn two years ago Fred A. Qerling, of Celilo, Oregon, began work on this invention. He has been at it ever since.

Not on this alone, hut on other inventions as well. lie lins experimented, tesled, proved conclusively that these inventions arc not playthings.

Qerling claims (hat his gasoline (raclion engine can do it for eighteen cents; that it can tear up seventy acres from sunrise to sunset.

This is merely mentioned iu passing to show how the strenuous life may even invade the farm. This first of the new machines (hat is of 'four cylinders, water cooled. Complete, the machine will weigh eight tons.

On iis deck it will carry a load of eight, more tons anil This costs cents ladeii, will do the work of a f.wnnfv Inn laden, will do the work of a twenty ton steam traction engine. That it to say it will save the moving of eight tons of dead weight, enabling them to be for freight. It will pull a gong plow (nrning a strip sixteen feet wide at (he rate of four miles an hour, at a cost of eighteen cents per acre, and it will keep this up if necessary hour after hour for three days. The water tanks and gasoline tanks need refilling not oftciier than this. For soft grounds broad adjustable tires are provided.

It can be seen (lint (he expense of feeding'one of (heso machines will be insignificant in. comparison, with that of feeding horses in numbers necessary to accomplish equal results. Thai is why, if (ho new machines "pan out" as there is every reason to believe that they wjll, revolution in the farming methods of the west is bound to tako place. They will do the work quicker and cheaper than eilhcr horses or stcani traction engines.

The committee's report started a lively discussion, which was participated in by some of the prominent delegates, including Congressman- elect William C. Wilson, of" Pennsylvania, and liev.

Louis. C. J. Crowlcy, of Baraboo, fraternal delegate from (lie -formers, said bis organization represented men who own small farms and work them. He claimed by affiliating with them, (he common people would no longer pay the high "trust" prices for commodities of life that are now charged! "Continue to pay," said Mr.

Crowley, "eighteen cents a pound for beef that the farmer sells for three cents; continue to support the speculator, fhe broker, the trusts and oilier lliievc.s if you want to, but if you don't want to, unite with us and do away with these evils." Rev. Toughley spoke in behalf of the farmers, and urged favorable consideration. President Lynch, of the International Typographical Union, favored the union in general, but said ho knew of a member of the American Society of Equity who non-union printing 1 office in Cincinnati, and that he would insist that it be made a union ofllco. The proposition then was accepted ly the convention by a decisive vole. DEMPSEY'S ESTATE.
