Heat the soldering copper not red hot but about the same as a flat iron would be heated for ironing clothes, wipe off the dust on a rag, take a file and rub the surface at the point till copper is clean and bright, then press the hot copper down the sal- ammoniac till it makes a depression. Place the end of the bar of solder in this depression and with the cop- per melt off two or three drops of solder. Remove the bar and rub the copper hard into the depression, but. not so as to push the solder out over the edge. Keep this up till the cop- per is well coated with a smooth bright coat resembling tin. You are now ready for business. Remove every particle of dirt from the parts intended to be soldered. Usually it is necessary to scrape the surface with a knife or file if greasy or very dirty, and then with a small brush apply the muriatic acid. Rub the surface with the brush to remove particles. Now rub surface to be soldered with the hot copper, using solder as de- sired. If the solder stands in globules and does not spread over the surface it is because there is some foreign matter between the solder and the sur- face and the cleaning process should be repeated with more care.
Solder will stick to almost any kind of metal if there is no foreign matter on the surface. Since the parts of a

copper under the tinned surface are easily melted, it should never be heated to a red heat.
In mending granitewear or copper, a copper harness rivet or a tinner's rivet may be inserted after cleaning the surface around the hole. Get the
boys started to making measures and buckets, funnels and flue caps. Ask that these be made a specific size and see how quickly they will grapple with problems in mensuration. It also might keep them out of town some evenings.
HOW TO JUDGE TRACTOR HORSEPOWER
From Prairie Farmer.
Nearly everyone knows the defini- tion of a "horsepower" as given in school arithmetics, etc., namely, "the power required to raise a weight of 33,000 pounds to a height of 1 foot in one minute." As this is a definite, fixed unit of power, one would natur- ally suppose that the horsepower rat- ings of two tractors would be a logical and reliable means of compar- ing their ability to perform work; that a tractor rated at 30 horsepower on the drawbar would be twice as powerful and capable of doing twice as much work as one rated at 15 horsepower on the drawbar, for ex- ample. This supposition would be correct but for the fact that there has been no definite standard used in ascertaining the horsepower devel- oped by tractors and the percentage of the power actually developed which should be taken for their catalogue rating. The various manu- facturers have followed their own judgment in the matter, and as a re- sult several methods of rating are being used, with a consequent lack of uniformity.
It is because of this fact that at the present time it is quite common to find two tractors doing practically the · same amount of work and clearly of about equal power although with widely different catalog ratings. It is obvious that either the outfit with a low catalog rating has been under- rated by its manufacturer or that the second machine has been overrated, or perhaps both have occurred. It would seem advisable, therefore, that steps be taken to bring about a stand- ard rule for ascertaining and desig- nating the horsepower of tractors. It is not so important, perhaps, what particular method is followed so long as the same method is used by all manufacturers, thus avoiding having machines of the same power given such varying ratings.
A movement is already on foot in the department to bring about the adoption of some standard. Until one has been decided upon and adopted, it is suggested that farmers, in com- paring different makes of tractors, should give particular attention to the number of plows pulled and the amount of work done by the various machines, and that less attention be paid to the catalog ratings.
When outfits can be seen working side by side, as at the tractor demon- strations which are being held throughout the country, the amount of work done is of more value in comparing the relative power than are the manufacturers' ratings, unless ex- actly the same method has been used in each case.
It is obvious that two tractors- each pulling the same number of plows of equal size, at equal depth, in the same soil, and each moving at the same speed-are exerting practi- cally equal amounts of power on the drawbar. In such case, if each is pull- ing its normal load, they should have the same drawbar rating. It is not at all uncommon, however, as previ- ously stated, to find tractors under such conditions with widely different ratings. By using as a standard the amount of work done by different tractors therefore a very fair com- parison of the drawbar horsepower can be obtained. With this known, a good idea of the power of the motor can be gained. If in the case just mentioned, one of the machines was considerably heavier than the other, it is apparent that it would require more power to move its own weight and that it would therefore not be . capable of exerting on the drawbar as large a percentage of the motor's total power as would the other ma- chine, assuming that the loss of power through gears, etc., in the transmission was the same. It natur- ally follows that the motor on the
29
PRAIRIE FARMER'S RELIABLE DIRECTORY
heaviest machine would develop more power on the belt than would the one on the lighter outfit.
The terms "brake" or "belt" horse- power mean exactly the same thing and are used to denote the amount of power which the engine will develop and transmit to a belt for stationary work, such as threshing. This amount of power may be computed by differ- ent formulas or may be ascertained definitely by actual measurement with a proper apparatus. This accounts for some of the lack of uniformity in rat- ings. Some companies carefully measure the amount of power devel- oped by each engine before it leaves the factory and then give their engine a catalogue rating equivalent to its maximum power output; others will deduct a certain amount from the maximum horsepower as ascertained and rate their engine at various per- centages of this figure in order to be on the safe side, and to underrate their outfit rather than overrate it, while some companies do not measure the amount of power the engine actu- ally develops, but compute it. With the diameter of cylinder, the length of stroke, and the number of revolu- tions per minute known, the horse- power which will be developed by an engine can be computed with a fair degree of accuracy, although there are a number of formulas used, several of which give somewhat different results.
In comparing the power of two tractors the speed at which they are moving must always be considered. A tractor pulling two plows at 2 miles an hour will do the same amount of work as one pulling one plow and traveling at 4 miles an hour, other conditions being equal, and the horse- power developed at the drawbar is the same, because the element of time enters into the determination of horsepower. The slower any given tractor is geared to move the greater will be the load which it can pull at the drawbar, as it pulls it less rapidly. The amount of work done and the total amount of power exerted will remain practically the same.
It is obvious that in the case men- tioned the tractor pulling one plow and running twice as fast as the one pulling two plows must move its own weight over the ground twice as many times as will the other tractor. If the
weight of the two tractors is the same, it will be seen that twice as much power has been expended in moving the weight of the high-speed tractor as has been used by the one with low speed.
A great many farmers find it diffi- cult to understand why a tractor of, say, 10 horsepower at the drawbar will not pull as heavy a load as will 10 horses. This is not because a me- chanical horsepower is less than the amount of power developed by a horse, but is because of the fact that a horse has an enormous overload capacity-that is, he is capable of ex- erting for a short time a great deal stronger pull than he should normally maintain hour after hour.
A tractor, however, has very little overload capacity when pulling its normal load. Thus, if a tractor with a drawbar rating of 10 horsepower pulling its normal load of plows under average conditions should strike a particularly hard spot where the draft was doubled for a few minutes it would stall; while 10 horses under similar conditions could readily in- crease their pull sufficiently to meet the increased draft.
From this it will be seen that in cases where the draft will vary (and this occurs in practically all kinds of farm work because of grades, soil variation, etc.) the load which a tractor will handle satisfactorily is that which it can pull up the steepest grade or through the toughest soil in the field. This load may be only half of what it can pull under more favor- able conditions in the same field. It will also be apparent that the working load of a tractor under ordinary farm conditions is considerably less than the normal load for its drawbar equiv- alent in horses, that is, a tractor of 10 horsepower on the drawbar will not pull, except under constantly favor- able conditions, the load which a 10- horse team would normally pull. The difference might be said to be entirely in the overload capacity of these tw- prime movers. With a tractor its maximum power is practically its normal power because it is capable of pulling this load continuously, but cannot carry anything in excess of this. On the other hand, the horse's - normal load is much less than what he can do in an emergency.

LIGHTNING RODS PROTECT
BUILDINGS
From Prairie Farmer.
"It is generally agreed now that lightning rods, properly installed, do afford a considerable measure of pro- tection to farm buildings, a fact which is indicated by the more favorable in- surance rates which many insurance companies offer in insuring farm build- ings that are properly rodded," says K. J. T. Ekblaw of the department of farm mechanics, University of Illinois.
"One insurance company of Michi- gan states that the small sum of $32 has been paid in four years for dam- age done to rodded buildings by light- ning, although a total risk of fifty-five million dollars was taken. Another company taking risks amounting to fifty-nine million dollars, in the same period of time on both rodded and un- rodded buildings, paid for damage done by lightning more than a thou- sand times as much as the other com- pany paid on wired buildings. A prominent fire insurance adjuster states that in his experience, for every dollar's worth of damage done to properly rodded buildings, there was $1,168 damage done to unrodded ones. In other words, there was indicated on efficiency of 99.9 per cent in favor of wired ones.
"Some of the points to be kept in mind in installing a system of light- ning rod protection are as follows:
"(1) Either copper or galvanized iron may be used for lightning con- ductors. The cable form is satisfac- tory and the weight of the copper should be at least three ounces per foot, while that of the galvanized iron should be twice as much.
"(2) All parts of the wiring should be connected up into one system. No blind ends or stubs should be left un- grounded. Joints should be made very securely and the contact made as perfect as possible by soldering and brazing.
"(3) The conductor should be firmly fastened to the building in- stead of being insulated from it, as is sometimes done. The purpose of the conductor is to take the light- ning charge away from the building; insulation prevents this.
"(4) The conductors should fol- low ridges and sharp corners in the buildings. No sharp turns in the con- ductor itself should be made.
"(5) Aerial terminals should be lo- cated at the ends of ridges and on the ridges at intervals not to exceed 20 feet. Any terminal point on the roof should have an aerial terminal of its Own. The aerial terminals should be at least two feet high, firmly braced in upright position, securely fastened to the main cable, and provided with a galvanized or nickeled wrought iron point.
"(6) Good earth connections are absolutely necessary. Commonly ac- cepted forms consist of a metal plate buried below the level of permanent moisture, into the soil to a depth of eight or ten feet, securely fastened to the conductor itself.
"(7) All metal masses, such as metal roofs, radiators, hay fork tracks, etc., should be connected to the main system.
"(8) Use good materials, install them properly, and no fear of light .. ning need be felt."
WHEN THE BELT SLIPS
From Prairie Farmer.
The slipping of belts is a great an- noyance, but it is not always remedied by tightening the belt. Ordinarily, if the proper-sized belts and pulleys are used and properly put in, there should be little or no slipping at all. Often the slipping of a belt is due to the overload carried by it. There is economy in using wider belts than is the usual practice. Many a three-inch belt is made to do the work of a four- inch belt, much to the annoyance of the operator and the ruin of the belt.
However, when an immediate rem- edy is needed, a small quantity of powdered whiting, sprinkled on the inside of the belt, is very good and is the least harmful of any similar appli- cation.
The use of beeswax, rubbed on the inside of the belt or on the pulley is a very good remedy in cases of emer- gency.
Many people use powdered rosin on a slipping belt but this is bad practice because it soon dries the leather and causes it to crack.
