life worthy to emulate. He was 50
years of age and a member Of Mid

Wy objects, etc., that will suggest
themselves to the resourceful farmer
who owns a tractor.
Inasmuch as the initial cost of q
good tractor is considerable, it is
we'll for one who is contemplating
purchasing to give careful attention
to the condition Of his farm. In or
der to give fair return on the mon
ey invested it must be used for n
number of days in the year, and also
replace some mules at present re-
quired, for if the tractor will not re-.
place at least one or two of the mules
at present required it is very doubt
full if it will be an economic expen-
diture of money for the average
farmer to purchase one.
After it has been defnately de-
cided to purchase, the size and make
must be considered. This will de-
pend of course upon the size and
condition of the farm, as we'll as the
nature of work required. For in
stance, if the tractor is to be used
for considerable belt work. this fea-
ture must be given more attention.
than if it is to be used wholly for
field work. There are numbers of
tractors being offered for sale at the
present time, some of which are bet
ter in some particular point than 9TH
ers. The careful farmer will avoid
purchasing a "freakish" type, or one
for which it will be difficult to obtein
repair parts. BY all means purchase
from a reputable concern who guar
antee their product, and who have a
reputation to stand behind their
guarantee.
