FARM HORSES DIE

AVERY TRACTORS DON’T! What a difference between farming with horse power and Avery tractor power. Horses are continually dying from disease or old age, but not so the Aveiy tractor—it “goes on forever.” An 8-16 h.p. model will outlast a dozen four-horse teams. Figure out the cost of continually buying horses—then enquire the cost of buying one 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 4-horse team each. It ploughs, discs, harrows, packs, drills, and harvests at the same rate as the above two men and eight horses —then it does work which horses can’t do. So it is mat the farm owner can work his land I with an Avery Tractor—-he need not worry i about farm labourers. The 8-16 h.p. Avery lis a handy size. Its fuel consists of keroI sene, and its work consists of practically any I driving and hauling you wish done. Apart I from work in the fields, the Avery is a I stationary power plant—it drives circular ! saws, chalfcutters, threshing machines, ■ shearing machines, milking plants, electric | lighting plants. Farmers 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 j Agriculture for use on his own farm. Get I details of sizes and prices, now. A.
