BIG BULL DOES JOB
IN RECORD TIME

| LIN NEOOItD
Another record set up for the Big
Bull tractor, went into history yester-
day morning when at 10 o'clock exact
ly 80 acres had been plowed, the work
having been finished in forty-eight
| hours by two machines.
The piece of land, being rented this
year by J. w. Burch, lies on the east
and west road just east of Fort Lin
coin. Two Big Bull tractors were
started blowing with Case gang plows,
at 10 o'clock on Tuesday morning.
These machines ran constantly day
and night, stopping only occasionally
for oil and fuel. And at five minutes
to 10 o'clock yesterday morning the
machines had finished their work in
the field, having 80 acres to their cred
| it.
In the first thirteen hours of work,
one of the machines had made Is laps,
! averaging some over two miles to the
lap and the other Bull had made 10
laps, averaging the same.
This demonstration to show what
the Big Bull could do on the farm, was
staged by the Bull Tractor company,
represented in this city by the Schibs-
by Bull Tractor company. Referring
to the record made by the machines,
Mr.. Schibsby made the statement to
the Tribune yesterday morning: II
am not surprised in the least at the
! outcome of this demonstration. l was
confident that the machines could do
the work. They are the only thing for
the modern farmer, and the day is not
far distant when every farmer in
North Dakota will not think of rum
ming his farm without a Big Bull to
do the heavy work. The feature of
the machine is that it will run all the
time, and when blowing is to be done,
such as in the field we have just fin
ished, the Bull works all night as well
as all day. Our boys had absolutely
no trouble with the machines, the only
stops being made for fuel and oil.
| Practical demonstrations mean more
to us than anything else as selling ar
guments."
