Elliot intercepted the triumphant

up for him the words he had heard on

marry Colby Macdonald. No doubt she
thought she was doing a fine thing for
the girl. He was a millionaire, the
biggest figure in the Northwest. His

TRACTOR DEMONSTRATIONS

In view of the TACT nat numerous
questions have arisen regarding the
tractor demonstration, which was
held at the Judd Humiston farm near
Mankato last Saturday, comparative
herewith submitted:
Six tractors took part in the big
demonstration which attracted farm
ers from all parts of the county. In
Justice to all it should be stated that
owing to recent rains the ground was
in very poor condition to do good
job of blowing, some of it being very
wet and soft, and in places there
were roots and parts of logs to
contend with.
Tie demonstration started ABOUT
one o'clock and as each machine
started work on the field allotted to
it the time was taken and record
kept of the amount of kerosene or
gasoline used. The tractors were
followed around the entire field to see
the depth and the even rate at which
they plowed.
Complete results are as follows:
/, Time cost was figured at the rate of
| fifty cents per hour for one man.
The Avery pulled four plows and had
bad luck on the wet soil. No figures
are given for it's work, on dry soil it
worked much better.
