FARM HORSES DIE—

AVERY TRACTORS DON'T! What a difference between farming with liorso power and Avery Tractor power. Horses are continually dying from disease or old age, but not so tho Avery Tractor —iti " goes on for ever." An 8-16 h.p; model will outlast a dozen four-horse teams. Figure out the cost of continually buying horses, then inquires the cost of buying ono Avery Tractor once and for all, and you will find a big saving in prices. Then bear in mind that the Avery Tractor in the field does work equal to two men with a four-hurse team each. It ploughs, discs, harrows, packs, drills and harvests at the same rate as tho above two men and eight horses; then it does work which horses can't do. So it is that the farm owner can work his land with an Avery Tractor —ho need not worry about farm labourers. The 8-1 G h.p. Avery is a handy size; its fuel consists of kerosene, and its work consists of practically any driving and hauling you wish done. Apart from work in the fields the Avery is a stationary power plant—it dl'ives circular saws, chaffcutters, threshing machines, shearing machines, milking plants, electric lighting plants. Farmers should remember that tlio Government will assist them to buy tractors. Full details can bo obtained from the Department of Agriculture.
