Ancient Australia offers quite a contrast to the pres¬ ent one—large producer of gold and wool and wheat. During the year 1913 to 1914 Australia raised more than 103,000,000 bushels of wheat and great quantities of oats and maize and barley. Besides, it produced great quantities of mangolds, hops, and honey. Aus¬ tralia employs nearly 300,000 people in more than 13,000 factories. In 191S the smallest continent had a popula¬ tion of nearly 5,000,000 people.
The International Harvester Company of Australia, Proprietary, Limited, sells the industrious agricultural population of Australia binders, drills, mowers and rakes, engines, tractors—in fact, practically all of the famous IHC line. Australian conditions are particu¬ larly favorable to the use of stripper harvesters, and the Company sells a great many. The progressive spirit of Australian farmers is demonstrated by the fact that kerosene tractors are taking a great hold in the country.
The Company has branches at Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth. L, H. Cowles is managing director, and other members of the board are Hon. Arthur Robinson, J. L. Jones, and J. A. Oker- bloom. The general offices are in Victoria at Mel¬ bourne on Bourke street.
The photographs on the opposite page are from the Brisbane office. At the top is W. S. Thomson, IHC manager of Queensland, in his office. In the center on the left is a scene from the Brisbane office with all on hand and busy. The picture at the right shows them hard at it in the IHC warehouse on Roma street, and the lower scene represents Mr. Appel, collection manager for Queensland, and his staff.
The people of Australia are well educated—illiteracy being very rare—and its parliament has become famous for much progressive legislation. With the present high price of fuel, Australia presents a spectacle of extrava¬ gance in its burning mountain—Wingen—where vast deposits of coal have been ablaze night and day for about eight centuries.

THE SPREAD OF THE MOGUL TRACTOR

By L. B. Webster, of Webster Bros., New Plymouth, N, Z,
The picture on this page shows the first oil tractor to
be used for general farm work in Taranaki, the leading
dairying province of the Dominion of   New Zealand.

The Mogul tractor is doing its work in a thorough manner and has already evoked considerable interest throughout the farming country. Further sales are sure to follow.
This Mogul was placed to the order of Messrs. Clifford Bros., of Lepperton, by chief blockman, G. A. Laird and assistant blockman, J. E. Coomer—Webster Bros, chief agents.

WHAT THE NEWSPAPERS SAY BIG EXHIBIT OF FARM MACHINERY
A matter of special interest to many farmers and near farmers of Lancaster county who will attend the fair of 1916 will be an exhibit scheduled by the Inter¬ national Harvester Company, products of whose shops find a world-wide market.
The Titan tractor operates on common coal oil—a fuel costing from 30 to SO per cent less than gasoline— and performs everything that is expected of such a machine.—Lancaster (Pa.) Intelligencer.
A HORTICULTURAL PUZZLE
Here is a thing that puzzles me. For days I've pondered o'er it,
I know just what a silo's for. But how do cows eat from it?
