An Honest Manufacturer and a Careful Operator Can Achieve Remarkable Results =1 0CTOR OSLER. won un- dying publicity by ‘de- claring that three score years was the outside limit of a man’s useful- : ness. His theory was probably all right so far as it went, but it didn’t go far enough—it fell short by about 20 years. There are plenty of captains of industry of 70 or 80 who are still going strong. Some mechanical Oslers have had the temerity to fix the period of a tractor’s usefulness—in years and even ‘hours. But do these theories hold good in actual life? We may estab- lish a tractor-life standard of 5,000 working hours, but the tractors, just like the men who refuted Osler’s the- ory by concrete example, live past this life standard. The nearest that we can come to figuring out a tractor’s period of life is through a survey of manufacturers’ and owners’ responsibility. If the manufacturer puts good quality into his tractor, has it built and assembled by expert workmen, carries out a sys- tem of continuous inspection covering the entire process average of 20,000 bushels of grain. In addition it has plowed a great deal of land. Incidentally, Mr, Lane states that he has plowed many acres at a cost of only 50 cents an acre. In speaking of this tractor Mr.' Lane says: “I expect this old engine to do my work for a lifetime by installing a new cylinder and piston occasionally.” And there is the case of C. W. Brown of Salina, Kan. Mr. Brown bought this tractor second hand in 1913 and has used it extensively ever since for such work as plowing, hull- ing alfalfa seed, threshing, grinding corn, filling silos, operating a corn husker and shredder and various other jobs that are always waiting for a de- pendable, industrious tractor. Not only that, but Mr. Brown’s neighbors used -it also—came over and borrowed whenever they had an extra heavy job to handle. And in spite of this neigh- borhood chore work, undoubtedly tend- ing to shorten the tractor’s career, Mr. Brown says: “I think the engine is. good for 10 years yet.” Garske Bros., who are tractor farm- ers. near Webster, N.D., bought their outfit in 1915, sec- of manufacture, tests the finished product and in- spects it carefully for any possible flaws before ship- ping it -out, and finally properly in- structs the pur- chaser in the prop- er care and opera- tion of the tractor, backing up efficient repair service — if . the manufacturer does all these things then he has lived up ‘to his respon- sibility. If the owner — - or.operator — fol- lows the instrue- tions of the manu- facturer in the care and operation = of the . tractor, that fulfills his respon- the | whole with prompt, This article, prepared by a technical expert, deals with the cases of tractors that have lasted much longer than the average. As the writer says,; hon- esty on the part of the manufacturer and care and skill on the part of the operator are neces- sary to insure.such suc- cess. " In this connection it is worth while to note that” North Dakota, by. passing laws requiring tractor manufacturers to keep supply depots with full lines of repairs with- in the state, and penaliz~ ing them if they misrep- resent what their ma- chines will do, is doing more both to protect the farmer and help the hon- est manufacturer than could be done along any other line. ‘makes "~ the - ment- that “it is ond hand, and af- ter four years of service, during which this tractor plowed 700 acres of . stubble, broke 600 acres of sod and threshed 160,- 000 bushels of grain, Otto Garske state- worth as much to- .- day as the day we - bought it.” -'Seven years ago C. S. King of Alva, Okla., bought a tractor third hand- .ed. At that time the tractor was said to be seven years old, which brings its present age up to 14 years. Mr. King used the: tractor for six years for baling hay, grinding feed, ADVERTISEMENTS JUST ARRIVED 3 Carloads of Shoes Must Be Sold in 30 Days $200,000 Worth of Shoes o Be Sold at One- half of Regular Price.

The restis up to old man Time — and -the number of years the tractor will give good service may be ascertained just .as definitely and accurately as deter- mining the age at which a man’s use- fulness ends. Let us look into the his- tories of one or two tractors: Back in 1912 George D. Laird, who has-a farm nedar Webster, N. D., in-. vested in a 12-25 horsepower .tractor of a- popular make-and-up until the close of 1918 had plowed 3,200 acres. of land with this tractor, disked 1,000 acres and put in 150 days of strenuous threshing, knocking out as high. as 1,500 bushels of grain in a day. After having secured this satisfactory serv- ice from his. steel-muscled toiler Mr. Laird writes: “My engine is good for. many years yet.” ; This tractor plowed -an “acreage equivalent to a 12-inch furrow around the world, threshed in the neighbor- hood of 175,000 or 200,000 bushels of grain, disked 1,000 acres—and still good for many years of the same kind -of service. -sawing wood, pumping water for irrigation, ete., and then sold it back to the parties from whom he bought it six years before. Evidently this tractor improved so much with age and service that the former owners decided to get it back, realizing their original mistake in selling. We wonder what the mechan- ical Doctor Oslers would say in a case of this kind? But here’s the one that wins the codkie—the 10-20 tractor..owned and operated by E. J. Willard, who has a farm near Marshall, Sask., Canada. Mr. Willard bought his tractor in 1910 and has kept the rig busy breaking prairie sod, plowing stubble, summer fallowing, disking and threshing, do- ing much of the latter as late in the season as December, when the grain was frozen and the mercury hovered around 30 degrees below zero. Mr. Willard says: f “From the looks of her the way she ran last fall (1918) I shall have some- thing to pass down to my grandchil- dren.” Liniment” to your druggist. today. 35e, 70c, $1.40. that Sloan’s Liniment means relief omen, too, by the hundreds quickly effective. . “For practically every man has used it who has suffered from rheumatic aches, soreness of muscles, stiffness of Joints, the results of weather exposure. of thousands, use it for relieving neuritis. lame backs, neuralgia, sick headache.
