horses require expensive fuel but the "Little Dovil" uses cheapest kerosene for fuel and requires no care,
costs nothing when not actually working. -
Sell three or four of your horses. Invest the money in a "Little
Devil." Then you can do half again more horse work and all of your belt wqrk, with
out investing a single penny more than you haVe invested. xThe "Little Devil" uses the same plows, cultivators,
listers, discs, drags, harrows, harvesters; corn binders, etc., that you now use with horses.
And best of all, it does' all the horse and belt -work ever so much
cheaper and more seasonably. It more than pays for itself in a single season out of
what it saves. That's why no farmer can afford to be without one.
$7CA' Only $1C0 per horse, equivalent horse (5t7El ft
OU power. ONE-HALF the price of horses V
buys a "Little Devil" and starts you on the sure road to better farming, bigger crop yields and greater profits.

The "Little Devjl" is so simple, rugged and reliable in every detail that it practically eliminates loss of time
and heavy repairs; It requires no stable room, no harness and never gets sick. . . (
Here's How the "Little Devil" Helps With the Corn Crop
Lists, plows, plants, cultivates, harvests, husks, shredvfills the silo, shells, grinds or hauls the corn to mar
ket. EATS NONE OF IT. The "Little Devil" has 30 inches clearance, the same as a cultivator arch, so that it
can't possibly injure the growing crops. , ' " ; i
Here's How the "Little Devil" Helps With the Small Grain Crop
Plows the ground, drags, harrows, rolls and seeds;. harvests, threshes, runs the fanning mill to clean, hauls to
market) or runs the elevator in handling the grain. EATS NONE OF IT.
Ar ' Here's Some Other Work the "Little Devil" Will Do Besides!
mmmm'mmm -BBBBSBSaaSBlSSBBBSBSSB
Plants, plows and digs potatoes. Hauls, grades roads, pulls stumps; cuts, rakes, loads and stacks the
hay. Saws wood, pumps water, runs the light plant, EATS NOTHING. .Takes up none of the barn room. , No
expense when not actually at work. '. ' , v .
