Let the Devil
Your Work
The Hart-Parr "Little Devil" Oil Tractor
Burns cheapest kerosene and other low grade fuels.
Only small oil tractor in tne world
If you're farming only an average size farm, you probably have
$1,2 :0 to $1,500 or more invested in horses, and probably $300 to $600 more in portable or stationary gas
engines necessary to do this work of ONLY ONE "Little Devil." Working or idle, your horses require ex
pensive fuel but the "Little Devil" uses cheapest kerosene for fuel and' requires no care, costs nothing
when not actually working. i
v 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 work, without investing a single
penny more than you have invested. The "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. 1
The "Little LJevil" will plow deeper, cultivate more seasonably and
save you money at every turn. It burns cheapest kerosene reducing fuel bills to one-half and has auto
matic, liquid cooling system, preventing all damage to the engine from over heating or freezing, with conse-
quent costly repairs. ' .

Boys Build First
Tractor at College
When C. W. Hart and C. H. Tarr were
boya In college they were earning their
own way. Turing this time they built
their first tractor. Before they could
build another they had to sell the first
one. which wss no easy task. Besides
that was fourteen years ago when peo-
Tle who had use for tractors didn't know
I, anit the tractor were not tha finished
product they are today. Now the Hart
Pnrr corporation ia eapltallied at 2.6"V
OiiO. The factory covers eighteen miles
of ground and la devoted exclusively to
the building or tractors.
The Hart-Parr company makes seen
sixes of machines ranging In horsepower
from 3 to 130 and In weight rrom ,vw
to 3M00 pounda to the machine.
One of tha machines this company is
pushing hardest Is "The Little Pevil,"
which has earned the repuiauon oi -ing
"a good little devil."

Light Machine Has
as Much Pulling
Power as Larger
& nw nrinelDle is employed in the
construction of the Nllson Farm trac
tor, on exhibit this week at tne Auai
i.,i,n th nrinrinle la in the con
struction and automatically controla the
gravity. With this construction ll ooes
not depend on the weight of the machine
for the "pull." but on the load. Thia
givea the light machine aa much pulling
power as sorae of the heavier machines.
This Is controlled by a simple principle,
which gives traction instead of weight.
The construction wee worked out by
Nils Nilson. a farmer, together with his
three sons, who merely applied the old
principle of the fulrum and lever to a
tractor.
Harold Nllson, one of the sons, who IS
now superintendent of construction at
the factory, is attending the convention
in company with C. Julsrud, vice presi
dent of the concern.
The "Nllson" uses the largest else
Waukesha motor and ia designed to pull
four, five or six plows. It hss a speed
up to six or seven miles an hour pull
ing eight to ten tone along a fair road.
Farmers Must Have
Tractors to Save
Expenses on Farm
C. F. Loomls of the ePorla Tractor
company haa the distinction of being one
of the pioneers In the tractor business.
Mr. Loom is, with Fred Olover of the
Avery company and D. M. Hartsotigh,
mads and placed on the market the first
four-cylinder tractor. This was over six
teen years ago.
"At that date the people were pretty
skeptical of the tractor for farm !ower,"
says Mr. Loomls. "My associates and X
didn't have an opportunity to bring our
machines to a fine big exhibit and con
vention like this then and have the deal
ers and farmers come in and take an in
terest. There has been a big change In
the business and right now we are facing
the greatest business that tractor people
have ever known. The farmers ahve had
it demonstrated to them that the tractor
will do their work cheaper and setter
than horses and they are uslmf them
they must have them."
The tractor the ePorla people are put
ting out now is a J -pound machine.
They have only one size. It has an eight
horse power pull at the drawbar and
twenty horsepower at the belt. Agency
contractors are coming in nicely, accord
ing to Mr. Loomls.
