EXHIBIT AT
CONVENTION
(
"The Big Bull tractor," announces Mr.
Bullock, Omaha dirtrlbutor, "l going to
enjoy the greatest sale In Ha history dur
ing the coming yar. The Big Bull hai
Rained a Just reputation for practica
bility, reliability and freedom from re
pairs." Mr. Bullock is bubbling over with en
thustaem for the game In which he cuts
quite a figure. Last year the Omaha
effice sold SOO tractors In Nebraska alone.
As4 a trainloa 1 is coming from Minne
apolis t fill orders for spring delivery,
which now aggregate as many as were
old during the whole of last year.
The rapidly increasing Business of the
Big Bull people Is Indicative of the trao-
Wtor business In general. The farmers are
coming to realise that the tractor power
( farming la more efficient than the slower,
mere laborious method of doing the work
with horses. In many Instances a tractor
has been workod for full twenty-four
hours each day for a week at a time,
lias (ontritct o. 1,
Mr. Bullock has distributor's contract
No. 1 with tho Bull tractor manufac
turers, and his enthusiasm could not be
at a higher pitch. The factory plans a
production of 8,000 machines this season,
and this is thought to be below the de.
mand by the Omaha office.
At the implement dealers' convention
the "Big Bull" will occupy booth No. 9
at the Auditorium, where open house will
be kept by Mr. Bullock.
Everybody Talks

Farmers Want 'Em

Iai
jveryDoay is talking tractors these
days and farmers everywhere are buy
ing mem. Manufacturers everywhere are
giving special attention to tlio develop
ments ana demands of the farmer. None
a"'f the manufacturers la more alive to
the situation and the ODDortunltv nnonnd
by tho advocates of power farming than
ne Altman-laylnr company. This com
any is now bulUiing its tractors In three
( sises 18-S6 horsepower, 25-56 horsepower
and S0-U0 horsepower, giving a wide range
in expense and usefulness.
H. A. Holg, manager of the Nebraska
branch at Lincoln, Is one of the live
ones in the tractor game. He believes in
the tractor thoroughly and makes every
one ha comes in contact with believe It.
"A tractor must not be an experiment,"
says Mr. Holg, "but it must be up to
date and have all the modern improve
mentg. The man who secures the agency
for one of the good tractors is fortunate
and will surely make a bushel of money
w this coming season. I have a few agen
If cies open yet, but am having little trouble
J filling them, an account of tha general
knowledge of the prospects of the game.
The Altman-Taylor line is no longer an
experiment, as we have) hundreds of them
in active service all over tha Country. We
have been in the traotor game a long
time and know it as well as any of the
manufacturers."

home office in Ha cine, for the large
est Increase in business of any
branch of the company during 1115. Mr.

harrows, planters, listers, cultivators,
stalk cutters, etc. As a side line the

SALES MANAGER OF THE WALLIS
TRACTOR COMPANY.
Sales Manager for
Waite Tractors to
Attend Omaha Show
W. C. Owens, general sales manager for
Waite tractors, will be one or me mi
wires around the Implement dealers' con
vention at the Auditorium this week.
The Waite tractor Is quite a different
machine than most lightweight tractors.
It weighs only 2.700 pounds, has a twenty-
herse power motor and Is bum to puu
two fourteen-lnch plows. It Is a general
purpose tractor and has a wider range of
usefulness than most of tho lighter ma
chines because of its speed. The throttle
and clutch are operated by one lever,
thu doing away with complications. The
machine hae eight speeds, ranging from
crawling pace to twelve miles an hour.
The latter speed Is attained by putting
rubber tires on the wheels and going on
the roads.
The Waite tractor is new In ttils terri
tory, but h been Introduced north aud
south. Only a few machines were sold
last season, as manufacturing was not
started until the middle of the summer.
Mr. Owens will attempt to place a local
distributing agency In Omaha during the
convention.
That Which Makes
Work Easier Has an
Appeal for Farmer
"Show a farmer aomethlng that will
make work easy and you get his atten
tion." Thla la an expression used In an
advertisement put out by the John Deere
Plow company. It is true and the Deere
company has been showing the farmers
something to make work easy for many
years.
During the Implement dealers conven
tion the John Deere company will havo
a display of some of its implements for
making farm work easy. It is an old
established Jlna, but one that has kept
up with the modem things in farm im
plements. ,
The Omaha bra nuh has always been
one of tha best in volume of business,
showing that this territory Is among tho
richest in production and that tho farm
ers are up on everything that keeps them
iu line for doing better work easier.
A "For Sale" or "For Rent" Ad placed
In Tha Bee will accomplish its purpose.

LA PORTE,
The extreme wt weather which prevailed over the country
last summer and fall brought forth a growth of weeds which will
cause damage unless they are proiierly handled.
The weed seeds, which had abundant time to mature during
the fall, are amply protected from the freezing Influences. They
will grow a wonderful crop of weeds.
Farmers will have to take special precautions to prepare the
ground to prevent weeds from choking his crops while young-
The abluadant moisture that fell last fall, if properly taken
care of In the spring, will Insure a banner crop, as far as moisture
is concerned.
The Oliver Chilled Plow Works has a device in their com
bination, rolling coulter and jointer that will enable the farmer to
put all tiaab and weed teeds abttolutely on the bottom of the fur
row. It not only doea this, but filla in all the air spaces at tho
bottom of the furrow; consequently, when a farmer uses thin
devioe, on his plow he can put the weed seeds and trash where
lhay will not interfere with the harrow, and at the same time
prepare the bottom of the seed bed for capillary attraction, which
is essential for Western farmers.
' We want to interest you in complete details of how this little
device, which costs but a few dollars, will save unnecessary work
and insure a seed bed on the top that is free from weeds and trash
of all kinds one with the weed seeds so deep In the ground that
your cropa will have a good start before the weeds can interfere.
It is a common sense inopositton and one that will both save ami
make dollars which you can never estimate.
