stitious belief that when they die
they must drink all the water
they have used while alive.

This fall we bought a 'Cat
rpillar Diesel D4 Tractor,
with bulldozer, for clearing
-Jland of stumps, logs and
trash. Previously, we used a
loading denkey rnd crew of 5
men and were only able to
lear on an average of 11
acres per week.
With the D4' nd 7only one
man besides the operator,
we clear 3J acres a week.
And the fuel cost Is just
about one-half of what it was
with the gas donkey."
