It does plowing, disking and drilling. It will pull your binder or mowers. You can
haul three wagons with it or drag your roads.
It will do all your belt work—grinding feejJ, pumping water, threshing, filling your
silo, cornshelling and many other belt jobs.
The 10-20 Titan kerosene burning tractor that burns kerosene as successfully as
an automobile burns gasoline. It has two forward speeds, high tension magneto
(no batteries required) mechanical oiler, which insures positive lubrication; fly
ball governor that regulates the feed of the fuel according to your load. The gene
ral construction is of the highest type. There is nothing better on the market. We
want your opinion of this tractor.. Will you be at the demonstration ?
The kerosene burning feature will cut your
fuel bills nearly in half—INVESTIGATE

Winter wheat is jointing and the crop
needs but very little moisture to make
a big crop. Oats look fifty per cnet
better this week. Rye will soon be in
head. Alfalfa looks fifty per cent
better this week. The dry weather
hurt the old alfalfa, but the crop will
be fine. The new crop of alfalfa will
be heavy. Pastures look so much
better. Some potatoes are up, and it
will only be a few doys until all aro
above the ground. Cattle and horses
are thin. Wild plums w’ill be scarce.
Tame apples will be plentiful. Tame
| cherries wjll be short this year. The
farmers have their work all in the
best of shape. We are almost sure
of a good hay crop.
There is going to be a big waste
of public money in dragging the
roads until people learn how to drag.
Some drag with the* drag blades slop
ing back, some with the drag in to
straight of an angle. Some commence
in the center and drag towards the
ditches. This way of dragging is
wrong. Always commence clear of the
ditches, have the drag almost straight
up and down. Always stand upon the
drag so that you can shift your weight
to correspond with the condition of
the ground. In this way the drag can
be set at a greater angle.. In dragging
the road the road drag ought to be
lapped half way. Don’t let new men
drag every time. Keep the old ones
at it for it is like running the grader,
it has to be learned. Everybody can
not drag the roads.
