MAK-A-TRACTOR.

SOMETHING GOOD FOR THE FARMERSThe Mak-a-Tractor, the new attachment which combines with any Ford car to make a fully guaranteed tractor, capable of doing the work of four big horses, and yet which leaves your Ford ready for use as a touring car or road?ter.in twenty minutes from the time it stops working as at tractor, is the most wonderful application of iow-oosfi power ever developed for the farm. It is a time-tried,towuer-tested imple ment that has completely revolutionised all previous iieas of economy in all heavy fa.-ui- work. Get the full service value of your Ford car. Yon cannot possibly do it if you use it only as a nleasure car, for yon can not po-sibly give enough time to pleasure driving. When yonr Ford car is lying idle, the power which might be working for you on year farm—earning von real money, doing real, usable work—is in reality being wasted. The high ground clearance of the Ford is not altered when the Mak-a-Tractor with the concave creepers travels in the furrow when ploughing and positively acta as a [snbsoilec This increases the crop yield, as woven by "many "tests. When running in the “furrow there is still ample clearance, as the framework of the Ford is clear from the ground and the Mak-a Tractor offers no interference. High ground clearance is a real necessity. All rocks or stumps or hillocks that a Ford ’ will pass over will he passed over by a Mak-a-Tiactpr Mak-a-Tractor can bo used to splendid advantage during harvest time in pulling hinders, mowers, hay rakes, etc. It is also used successfully for road grading, manure spreading and all kinds of heavy hauling The price of a Mak-a-Tractor is £lB9, This represents less than the coat of four good horses and the Mak-a-Tractor requires no food or attention, and costs nothing for upkeep,Jexcept when actually working. On page 3 appears an attractive advertisement referring to the Mak-a-Tractor from Mr Neil M. Macdougall, of the Turner Novelty Stores, Broadway, Marton, who is sole agent for the Raugitikei district, including Huaterviile, Bulls, Turakina and Wangaehd.
