TRACTOR KNOWLEDGE PAYS
 THE OWNER BIG RETURNS

10 IntelngenLiy care tor any piece of machinery, we must first have a reasonably good understanding. of i the principle of operation. In order te get this information that will en-
 able you to know your tractor and 1 successfully operate 1t you will have - to always be on the alert and get | this information from every source
 possible. Read your instruction boak--read the special bulletins sent you by the manufacturer. If you have . chance to talk with any one else who owns q tractor, find out all
 you can from him and every time you see the agent or dealer or any of iiis service men, you should ask them aay questions that you have been in @auht about in regard to operating vour tractor.
 With the information gained in this way, along with the experience you viii get as you go along operating your tractor. if something goes wrong with the machine, it will cost you considerably less to attend to l dealer or manufacturer.
 That which is economically cheap est always tends to become the order of tlie cay and you will always pay the bill in the end, and believe that you, realize that you cannot get some thing for nothing, it is right that you should take over the care and SCI rice on your own tractor.
 The greatest appeal of tractor is that it enables you to hurry up your work and get it done at the right time. A great deal of this advantage may be lost if you fail to study and understand your tractor and fad it necessary to send for service mar. Even flee service costs you money in loss of time at least. The tractor owner who understands how to take care of his machine learns how to time and money. He will get better service from piece of machinery that he thoroughly understands.
 It is obvious how the expert auto mobile driver can get satisfaction out of his car that is not obtained by the man who notoriously does not under stand his automobile. This applies equally we'll to the efficient tractor owner as against the inefficient own CT, in that less fuel will be used and more work will be done by the former.
 A man who understands his horses ro% ,l, ,.1- of them than the man who is clumsy or careless in handling his horses. It is pleasure to know something better than your neighbors-to be an expert hog raiser oE~an expert cattle raiser. To be consulted and looked up to by your neighbors is one of the pleasures of life. To know tractors we'll and be an authority is the same. Today the tractor is big factor in farm life and knowing tractors is a reputation well worth having.
 The pleasure of operating some thing that you understand is not to be overlooked. The man who has operated tractor and thoroughly un- derstands it will be able to make the proper adjustments when the mixture in the carbnretor is slightly off He can touch the fuel adjusting valve and feel that he now has it almost perfect and it gives him a thrill of satisfac- tion that is worth while. To be able to keeep tractor developing at full power and fighting it's way through the hard pulls is a pleasure. To un- derstand the valve timing and carbu- retor adjustment will have the effect of cutting the fuel consumption from 25 per cent to 40 per cent and will add pleasure and interest to the op- erating of the machine.
 The manufacturers or dealers service men have no more brains than you have. They have only learned few more of the little diff faculties in operating this particular tractor. You can do the same thing and not have to wait for help when some little adjustment goes wrong. You can become an expert by proper application and it is we'll worth your while.-By A. w.
