"The Best Team in the Northwest

who won the first prize of $4OO cash

This claim Is based on the records

west originally started in the recent
Fargo farming demonstration. OF
these. six teams were compelled to
withdraw after starting the work OF
plowing and seeding 1O-acre plots
one of these was a team Of thorough
bred Percherons-and the others were
seasoned horses, well handled by com.
petent men. In spite Of this, it is re-
ported that five horses collapsed and
died.
The record of the Jones outfit, there
fore, stands out as surprising
achievement, as he completed the job
Of plowing 10 acres, five inches deep,
in 20 hours and AZ minutes-and he
disked and narrowed this in IL hours
and As minutes.
While Jones was winning the prize
for the best horse outfit, SO tractors
were competing against each other in
similar work, and the average of the
six best tractors shows that they did
the same work as the horses in 8
hours and 43 fourth the
time.
Every ounce of feed for the horses
and fuel for the tractors was care
fully weighed by an observers conf
mittee. and the reports show that the
Jones 6-horse team ate $50 pounds
Of hay and 1231a bushels Of oats. With
hay at $13 per ton, and oats at 40
cents per bushel, which were the Far
60 prices. and figuring Jones' time at
~ cents per hour; his total cost for

10 acres was $2O.OO5. This compares
with the cost. 1897 for the same work
with tractors, figuring kerosene at
l1.S cents per gallon, gasoline, 23.1
! cents per gallon, lubricating oil 65
cents per gallon, and labor at 40 cents
per hour. These costs do not include
! depreciation or repairs for tractors
and no charge is made for horse shell
ter or chores.
No effort was made to have horses
compete with tractors in this work,
but the comparison between the cost
of horse power and tractor power un-
der actual farming conditions in Da-!
kota is Interesting, not only because
tractors did the work so much cheap
