CROLIDE COMPOUND
Tkux them as toueh as raw hide, buoyantly resilient
and absolutely impervious to oil and water. Ordin-
X ary compounds readily absorb water and oil.
A new individual handwork system each cas-
ing being built entirely by one man, who is paid not
according to how many tires he makes, but how well
he makes them together with rare chemicals used
in Crolide, makes THERMOID casings the most cost-
ly to build in America.
r Yet they are the most ECONOMICAL for the
tire user. In the end your speedometer reading will
t show they've saved you money.

WHEEL TRACTORS
(Cuut iiued from jiage one) j
the oilier two tractors lire bury on other,
jobs. This makes your power more elas-
tie and speeds up the farm schedule. j
Not only is t'tis true iu plowing and
seeding time, but also holds g I at
harvest time, There lire one Pr two
makes of two plow tractors that have
ample power at the pulley to run a'
good si. -.ed grain separator. While It la;
doing so the extra tractors are ousy!
hauling in the gmia from the fields er'
I hauling the threshed grain to the gran !
I r. iv , and the saving is here enhanced
1 bv the triotors that can haul a good
load nt a speed of two and one-half to '
'three miles an honr, and when returning
I with empties can throw the gears into;
high and tiavel nt the rate of six lu
;S-ci miles mi hour.
! The fanner must also bear in mind
tint there are hundreds of mid power
.i"bs thai aie done on the farm every
year such ns running the silo (utter,
the woodsaw, torn shelter, feed grinder,
pumping water and hauling the manure
spreader; nay one of these jobs er.n be
easilv liainHcil by the two-plow tractor.
It is true that one six plow tractor
can often he handled by one man,
wherens three two plow tuietors will
take three nicn to handle. The two
two-gong plow is handled easily and
conveniently by the mi.n operating the
tractor.
(Quality in the wearing parts is one
of the next things that, must be ti.ken
into consideration, and the farmer
should insist on knowing what is inside
the machine. If the points where the
greatest friction or wear comes are not
supported by bull or roller bearings, lie
must remember that the larger the ma
chine and the heavier the load it pulls,
the more quickly is trouble coming in
his bearings.
Possibly the most important factor
to the tractor owner is service the
ability to obtain quickly expert mechan
ical assistance und repair. If service
is lacking the tractor owner is not only
justly dissatisfied, but he loses no time
that one of the main advantages of the
tractor to him may be lost for the entire
season. If the tractor dealer has a num
ber of tractors working in hi& territory
he is far more apt to keep on hand eon
tinuiJly a sufficient supply of parts to
meet the needs of all the farmers to
whom he bus sold tractors, than is the
dealer who has only a few machines out
and, of course,- could not afford to keep
a large supply of parts in stock, so
would be obliged to send away xu nr.
some of the parts that might be needed
&t a critical time, thus holding up the
work of tae machine, for several hours,
if not for a dny tr more.
There are undoubtedly many cases in
which a mnn's judgment in purchasing
a large tmetor may well bo justified,
but it would be of considerable intetesi
and of great benefit to every farmer if
some of the owners of the two-plow
tra-lors, at the end of the season, would
compare notes wilh their neighbors who
own the larger machines nnd let us
know the compr rtitive uiniainl of work
done by each and tlif expense of opera
lion and repairs.
