HOW Old PEOPLE
May Prolong Their Lives

At an advanced age waste is moro
rapid than repair. The organs act
more slowly and less effectually than
in youth. The circulation is poor. the
blood thin and watery, the appetite
poor and digestion weak.
We want to say to every aged per-
son in this vicinity that Vinol, our de-
licious cod liver and iron tonic with
out OILY will prolong life. 1t creates
an appetite. aids digestion and makes
good blood. In this natural manner
Vinoi retards waste and replaces
weakness with strength, giving new
life to the worn system.
If people in this vicinity only real
lied how vinol invigorates old people
we would not be able to supply the
demand.
Try a bottle of Vinol with the I'M.
Outstanding that your money will be
returned If it does not help you.

AT WORK TESTING
The TRACTION vs.. The HORSE
By Raymond Olney, Iowa State Col
lege.

By Raymond Olney, Iowa State Col
lege.
These are days when progressive
farmers are asking whether or not
the tractor is more economical and
efficient than horses.
What is the answer?
That comes inly from experience
and comparisons.
There may be partial answer in
the following results of blowing tests
on an Iowa farm. When considering
these facts, the reader should bear in
mind this important fact: When
making comparisons it must be re-
membered that the tractor costs
nothing when doing nothing, while a
horse eats about as much when idle
as when at work.
In succession of days of blowing,
the charges against As brake horse
power, costing S2,250, were as follows
per day:
2 gallons lubricating oil, at zoe 40
81 gallons engine distillate, at
4.95 cents ................................ 2.52
2 gallons lubricating ill, at zoe 40
Labor of plowman .................. 1.50
Labor of engineer. $50
Board of 2 men, at 81 cents. LA
Depreciation on tractor, 10 per
cent on $2,250, 200 working
DAYS per year ........................ 1.125
Interest on investment, per
cent, counting 200 working
days Observation-Disclosures. .615
To furnish this same amount Of
power would require five men and
twenty-five horses. Even then the
tractor would pillow the same area Of
land in less time than the men and
aorses. The twenty-five horses would
consume about eighteen quarts Of
oats and fifteen pounds of hay each
per day and they would represent an
investment of at least $4,000 with
harness. The man and horse blowing
figures out as follows for an average
day:
Ia bushels oats, at "a cents......$ 4.76
375 TBS. hay, at $40 per TOM. 1.S)
Labor of 5 men, at $1.50........... $50

per cent, counting 800 work
ing days per year.....-............ l.GG
Interest on investment, at 6 per
cent, counting 300 working
days per year .......-.....-........ LOO
Total .$19.57
These figures show that it is 81 per
sent cheaper to pillow with an engine
than with horses. Moreover the work
Is done quicker and harrows and discs

to be considered that the small farm

busy enough days per year to justify
it's use. Blu: every year the tractor
is used for new work around the farm
tests show that it will do the work
in harvest time cheaper than men and
horses as well as in blowing time.
Moreover, it increases crop produc-
ton because of better tillage.

SOME RULES FOR JUDGING CORN

The man who is about to exhibit
his best ten or forty or one hundred
ears of corn ought to know how to
judge it as we'll as the man who is
to pass on it at the show. That is nc
easy task, because it requires great
deal of study and experience. Pro-
fessor D. G. Holden Of Iowa State
College says that there are four
fundamental questions which the ex-
hibitor must ask himself when he Sc
lects his corn for show or seed, and
they are these:
I. Will the corn yield, will it pro-
duce, has it constitution, vigor, hardi..
