EIGHT DRAUGHT HORSES, OR AN AVERY FARM TRAOTOR?

—:—_♦ — Eight draught horses cost money to buy and money to feed. And it doesn't matter if they work or not —they eat just as much. But the Avery Farm Tractor is more economical; it requires kerosene only when it _is working— when it is not working it is not costing a farthing in upkeep. Farm with an Avery Tractor. It cuts down costs on horses —it cuts down costs on wages. A boy can manage the 8-16 h.p. Avery Tractor and do the same amount of ploughing, discing, harrowing, packing drilling, or reaping as two men with eight draught horses. If your farm is a large one, there s a larger Avery Tractor to suit it —if it is a small farm, there's a smaller model. In any case, the cost is proportionally lower than for teams of hors6s. Your Avery will run all day on kerosene, and I that is the only upkeep cost. Avery Tractors are supplied to the Department of Agriculture, and Lister's, the makers of the famous English oil engines, cabled ''Have had twelve months' experience Avery Motors. Sold over 100 machines; results very satisfactory and consider machines in front rank. Supplying Government here." Fanners should remember that the Government will assist them to buy tractors —full details can be obtained from the Department of Agriculture. A 12-25 Avery Model W. has just been delivered to Hon. Mac Donald, Minister of Agriculture for use on his own farm. Call or write for Avery prices. A. Hatrick and.Co-, Ltd., Wanganui and Wellington, New Zealand Agents. W. A.
