Jenkins, Hype; Road, started to plow on the 4th of January, This is the eariist known for spine tine; owing to.the very mild and ;sunshiny weather l e are hgving, •, so .eadily'convinced of the tractor's Paying 'qualities. He has seen demonstration machines with one man plough as mach ground in an hour as he could plough In a day; lie has also seen tractors give a very creditable showing on the belt. Then again he has seen ma- chines which for some reason or other did not give satisfaction; he has also seen instances where ma- chines were tied up for weeks for want of a spare part to replace a broken one. The result is that they are not "falling. over each' other" to buy tractors. A tractor costs a lot of money, and he is afrai.a to make the plunge, not being so certain that it will pay for itself. An old saw -miller once said to the writer: "Every second that saw is not actually cutting lumber she is a bit of expense." Manufacturers tell us that the factory which can be kept going twenty-four hours' a day Is the factory which gives the' biggest re- turns. The same is trite of the farm tractor; the nfnst profitable machine is cthe one which Ise kept at' it fo three hundred days of the year, Thi mea.na that it we have not enougl work to keep the machine going Cor a ,sertain.longtli of time each year we will be losing money. ' The debt which a tragtor must wipe out when it sets foot upon a ltarm ie a two -fold one, First, it, must more Haan repay operating:. expensed, and second it ninet pay what the manu- facturer calla "overhead expenses." The machine has no reason to fear the former obligation when it is pro- perly handled. We know that the cost of ploughing with a tractor costs only from $112'5 '101 $2;00 an acre; while horse -ploughing will come.:to anywhere betweelt $3,50 and '$G.001 pier acre, while other' work dhows an d'qually favorable comparison for the tractor. Besides the draw -bar work tie tractor offers itself as a source of belt power which work horses have ldng since ceased to perform. The "overhead" expenses `which the tractor must face consistt millnlYof r interest on money invested, tddgpthei i with a reasonable sucrate for de- prledation en the price of itself, plus tate price of, any machinery bought expressly for use with the tractor. Whe price of a three -plough tractor is somewhere near $1,400; the ploughs oast $200. ,To this we must add say 5500 for part ownership of a thresher , aid silo -filler. This makes $2,100 in all. The interest on this at 7 per cent. ie•equal to-SI47,00,'and the de-'' pleciation of 10 per cent, per annum 13 equal toe$121:00 or etot,al' of ;367, whieh our tractor muef.faee,, no mat- tes how nftiett 'oi• hlSw little :Work .1t, does. if the machine'' Gee only tent days of work per year the cost of the, oyorhead per, ;day'•would : he ;36.70; lfv however, the machine is used for otate hundred..daya.,the„oyerhead,drops; to $ 8:b'il: per. day •,o that the; greater the number .of days in which the tractoras•employed pen year the more'• protltable will the -machine prove. • t.Tbere is +plenity'of.work, for 'a.itrae- tor , oat. meet Ontario farms, but the work' is'•dot •in such shape that the tractor ,can .do K. satisfectorliy...., •tA tractor cannot do good work in small fields.: •7lurning around; even with a small tractor, iselaborious work for both the operator and the machine, and is not conducive to the maximum' amount of work per day nor to the beat quality•of work. Most Ontario farms have too many fences for profitable horse -farming, to say nothing of using a tractor. Peaces mean waste land; they harbor weeds, and it costs 'more to keep the usual quota of •fences'iu repair than it does to build a temporary fence when needed and roll it up when not needed. Removing some fences is the first step toward .fair play for the tractor, It Is hard work to cultivate among stumps and boulders with horses. With a tractor it is impos- sible to do good work in such condi- tions. The second step in arranging our work for the tractor is to remove all obstructions. Give the tractor a fair chance at its work and It will not disappoint you. . In summing up the tractor's case as a business proposition we must Consider the following points: - 1. That the tractor will do farm work more cheaply than horses can do it, if the work is properly arrang- ed for the tractor, 1 . 2. The. personal factor in tractor operation is so groat that it alone may causb success or failure. 3; Whon a tractor Is (rept busy 'enough, its upkeep and overhead cost per year is far less' than the same nn the horses; which it is' able to sub- stitute for., 4. Belt work constitutes a large r' portion of the tractor's usefulness. In s :order to make it a paying oronosi- t ' Big Developmentsn vain elan 's Land )t5 ., r,• !.7..• cry, i• •::r.
