HORSE SENSE IN TRACTOR BUYING —_ Something of Interest to Every Farmer in thia Community That the light tractor may replace j the horse tn the heavy grind of larm| voi k, just as the automobile has re-1 Hevea him from pounding over thej roads to town to keep the family in groceries, is a proposition to which f most farmers in this vicinity will agree. But when it conies to replacing their hones with a tractor, many obstacles appear, as was shown at a recent tractor plowing demonstration where all sorts of trajtors were going through their paces. A salesman had shown an interested farmer all the good point ids tractor possessed. He had plowed for; him, shown him how easy it was to I control the t factor, and somewhat ! against the farmer's will, had got him ' into the seat and let him start it, 1 steer it, and stop it. He then began to tell hhn how much better it was than horses for farm work. “That's just it,” broke in the farmer, “if it was a horse I'd know what you are talking about, but this thing might be wind broken and spavined in both hind legs and I probably wouldn’t find it out until it was paid for and 1 had taken it home and used it a while. No, I'm not in the market today, I've got to look around before I buy.” In tills plain statement is shown the frame of mind of the majority of pro-! spective light tractor buyers. They all know how to judge horses, because they have raised them, broken them to work, and studied them. Buying a new horse is simply measuring him up to standard specifications. But how is a farmer to know he is gettingsomewherenear value received when lie buysa tractor with no “standard specifications” on which to rely? Or. pitting it as it really is, how is he to know what are “standard specifications” when all ‘ ractormanufacturers 1 claim theirs as standard? How is lie,' in other words, to detect spavined and' weak lunged conditions in a tractor? From the results of experiments and tests upon all types of tractors, a general summary can be made show-; ing the points of merit necessary for a good, serviceable light tractor to have. For the average farm, the amount of power should range in the neighborhood of eight horse on the drawbar and sixteen on the belt. On the average 160-acre farm, according to census reports, there are six work horses and a colt. The tractor with an eight-horse drawbar pull gives a little more power than the average farmer has in horse-flesh and is, there-: fore, a practical size. A tractor for use in ail sizes of fields should be low and short coupled. This makes short turns possible and gives avail-! able power where orchards are to be cultivated. Select one with two drive wheels. A single drive wheel cuts the tractor's chances at the load in half. Would you buy an automobile with a single rear wheel? Two drive wheels with a differential are absolutely necessary to meet all traction conditions. Be sure, also, that tlie wheels, both front and rear, are high enoughtogive clearance in soft or uneven ground. This height, also, , gives a better leverage on the load. ! The power plant of tlie tractor I should be a motor of the simplest I possible construction with low speed : and the fewest possible number of ; cylinders to deliver the required power.! i The high-speed motor wears faster,. uses more fuel, and relies too much ' upon its speed for power. Consequently a low-speed tractor reduces possible repair costs and gives a maximum of service with a minimum of j trouble. tn 1 f a light tractor Is to mean economy on the farm, it must use kerosene as fuel. The increased consumption of ! gasoline is greatly raising the price, and experts predict a shortage in the j supply for the near future. On the other hand, kerosene is not of so general use and consequently is far ! cheaper. In selecting a kerosene trac- ! tor great care is needed, for many of the so-called kerosene-burning traci tors are not able to live up to their i claims under actual tests. Be sure to select a tractor that can burn kerosene as evenly, smoothly, and with as much power as gasoline. Test the contents of the fuel tanks yourself. I Finally, when you go to market for a tractor, select the product of a reputable company who have had years of experience in making successful kerosene tractors. They will not be experimenting at your expense in time and money, for their product will be standard. They alone, in the tractor field, can realize that their best Interests are to serve yo ir interests and give you your money’s worth in tractor power. PUBLIC SALE.
