1-ow this yr, unj prrhips no ttrrw In
the rl, that !) plranpj the tractor
manufacturpri more than did tha Na
tional Farm Dfmonntratton, whlrh cloaed
at Fremont, Friday. Whlla tha ahowt
at Hutrhlaon, Kntd and Champalrne, thla
year wer mora or tnaa aueceaaful, the
ralna at all of thaa put tha damper on
the demoiutratlon and on tha buying
artlvltlra, ao that It remalnad for tha
Fremont how to rap the climax.
Tractor men are greatly pleaaed with
the rrault of their week' work at Fre
mont. They cannot prmlie too hljhly
Ihla Frftnont ahow. which la, after all,
the rhuw that atarted them all on tho
path. Three year aso tha flnt ahow
of thla character waa held at Fremont.
The other ihowa In Kaneaa, Oklahoma
and 111 nola, are merely copied after the
pattern of the bin ahow at Fremont,
which waa originated, planned and exe
cuted by the Twentieth Century Ffcrmer
publication of Omaha.
Maar Sale" Arc Mad.
' With aoine of the tractor manufacturer
celling aa many aa 100 tractors and even
more during the week, there waa good
cause for a cheerful parting, when all
pulled UP atakea Friday evening.
Many 'of the' companies Bold upwards
ot seventy-five tractors during the week,
and-one firm -reported 100 tractors sold
to one dealer In Kansas, who la to repre
sent the company in that state.
It was a good buying crowd that at
tended the tractor ahow all week. Tha
tractor men aaid ao. Demonstrations or
no demonstrations, the sales booths were
always Crowded with proapecttt purchas
ers, and for a time the tractor men dur
ing the latter part of . the week, wrote
orders almost as fast as the pencils could
work.
The success of tractor farming haa
long since been demonstrated. The ques
tion with the farmers simply Is which
style of tractor do they want, or which
atyle of tractor Is peculiarly fitted to their
especial needs on a larger farm, a small
farm, a hilly farm, or a level farm.
Keepa Back laTaders,
"We think of the tractor as a machine
ot construction, but It la also cspable
of greet destructive power.
"This Is vouched for by Edward Molnar
of Budapest, Hungary, who has been In
attendance at Fremont looking over trac
tors for the Hungarian government.
Count Molnar tells of how he mobilised
790 tractors for use In the wsr, and how
he used tlO Holt Caterpillars In dragging
forty-two ' centimeter guns and twenty-ive-ton
loads of ammunition over snow
and Ice In the Lupkow and Uisok Passes
UP to the firing Unas In the mountains.
He asserts that this alone enabled the
Hungarians to keep supplies of ammuni
tion on hand to repel the Russian hosts,
raving Hungary from the invaders.
UraaVa Fresno! Streets.
Mayor Dahlman, Omaha's Cowboy
Mayor, tried his hand at operating a
Hart-Parr tractor at Fremont Friday,
And despite the fatal thirteenth, per
formed in great stylo, piloting the "Lit
tle Devel" over the field and turning up
the sod i;l.e a veteran.
The Hart-Parr tractors made a hit With
the populace of Fremont, too, as they
were used to grade seven city blocks,
grading nearly half a mile of city streets
in three hours. And It coat tho Fremont
taxpayers nothing so they should worry.
T.-tk It Home to Try Oat.
Talk about guarantees, the Sandusky
Tractor company offera one whloh shows
absolute faith In the product on the part
of the maker. The Sandusky Tractor,
"The Uttle Fellow With the Big Pull,"
Is offered to prospective buyers on a
proposition whereby they may try It at
home for three days. This enables the
farmer to see for himself just what the
machine will do at his work, and cer
tainly speaka well for tha manufacturer
who can ahow such Implicit faith In his
product.
Palverlses the Soil.'
The Allts-Chalmera three-wheel Tractor
and Rotary Tiller were two singular ma
ohlnes which attracted a 'great deal of
attention. The tractor with Its cast steel
frame, differential, and easy steering
qualities is worthy of comment, but most
attention was given the tllier which Is a
BwUs Invention. The tiller does its work
by means of long, strong steel forks
which dig into the ground and turn it
up in a perfectly broken and pulverised
condition, thus preparing the ground for
seeding at one operation.
Maay 1'ae Beaver Motors.
The Beaver Manufacturing company,
makers of the beaver motors l ad a very
elaborate and complete display at the
Fremont Tractor show. Beaver motors
are designed (.specially for tractor work
and are being used to advantage In some
of the leading machinos. Their work Is
giving . very good satisfaction, and this,
together with the interesting display put
on at Fremont, gained many flattering
comments from visitors at the demonstra
tion. Traetor with a M airier.

uralijn t..e productive purchaser sajd,
"Well, Mr. Sweeney, there's one l!j
ature about your tractor which greatly
oases me, and it is that your machiae

equlpied u'th mufflers, and that other
'improvements 11 bo made with a view
I of giving more comfort and convenience
