Great pains have been taken make it as perfect as
possible in every respect and to demonstrate that

in the TACT thai We have been able TO construct large
machine with high wheels, which at the same time is
light in weight and of very easy draught
Farmers who have used machines with both small and
large wheels, appreciate the important advantages OF
large wheels, when combined with light weight and
