C. B. Kosmlckl came here from

C. B. is operating four hundred and
eighty acres and has but five horses
to do the work, besides the tractor. He

We have been asked several times
if we had been out to see Kibble's
ranch, and we had not, but Thursday
we made a special trip to s?e what
we could find there that was interest
ing. It was not far, only four miles
east, so we 4Vove out with Mr.
Kibble and looked over the farm
and we found many things there
that were a surprise to us and would,
be a surprise, we think, to anyone in
this country that hart not been out
to the ranch. That is what it is, for
there are fourteen hundred and twen
ty acres of deeded land and four hun
dred and forty of school land. There
are four hundred and twenty acres in
cultivation and fenced and cross-
fenced, with thirty-two-inch woven
wire fence with two barbed wires on
top and hard wood posts every twen
ty feet. Ihe buildings are gooi and
up-to-date. What took our eye was
the fine herd of pure bred nogs, lney
keep both the Poland China and I)u-
rocs in about equal numocrs. lney

the same luck will have two hundred

good sows as we ever saw in one herd
and we have seen some mighty good
herds. We also saw about sixty head
of hojH that were in the feed yard

rented to Ernest Becker on the fifty
fifty plan. It seems to us that he has
a very capable man. It does us good
to inspect farms of this kind, for it
proves to us and to anyone who; will
take the time to look it over just what
can be done jf one tries and goes at
it in the right way. Mr. Kibble has
always been a booster for this country
and has backed his judgment with his
money and has made good. He own?
several good farms that we will say
something about some other time.

Why Exp
eriment?
J Do you know 'that the majority of business men do just
that when they buy their first motor truck?
J Here is the proof proof that men who would not think
or gambling or playing the stock market, do pay dearly for
their early experience with motor trucks.
l Seventy per cent of our business the past year has involved v
trading in cheap, so-called "one-ton" trucks of certain makes.
j Most of these buyers came to us first, but decided we
were asking too much for a Reo Speed Wagon, when they
tuld buy a "ton" truck for so much less.
J After a few months twelve to , fourteen at most they
come back and trade in that over-rated, under-weight truck
for a Speed Wagon accepting an estimate c ft, the other that
represents more than a 50 depreciation. . ...
J Here's an interesting fact. "
tj We don't need to look inside the motor, transmission, axles or
bearings of these so-called "ton" trucks to know their condition.
J We know their limit, and so all we ask is in what kind
of work they have been engaged and for how long
and we can estimate their worth accurately.
J Twelve to fourteen months hauling ton loads and they
are worn out. About all that does not need replacing
is the frame and wheels!
Q In re-selling those trucks we first re-build them, and then
see to it that they go into light work for which they are fitted.
d What we can't understand is why, with so much evidence
available as to the greater economy as well as the greater effi
ciency of a Reo Speed Wagon why will business men pay
several hundred dollars for needless experience and then
buy the Reo anyway?
