No. 47. ; SATUAY, NOVEMBER 20, 1915. . $1 a Year ; 5c. a Copy BUY A GASOLINE ENGINE THIS FALL WHAT THE GASOLINE ENGINE WILL DO THL gasohue engine may. well be allied a hired man who never tires further, when, it does hot work it does not eat. To these excellent qualities may ho added the fact that it can probably .do .more hard, disa greeable jobs in and about the home and on the farm with i less back-ache, and worry thati I any machine, iron and steel or bone and muscle, ever in vented or created. From a doubtful experiment ;i decade ago, the gasoline engine- has been developed and improved until it is a lit tle marvel of efficiency. Few jobs about the farm are too heavy, too hard or too dirty for it; no farm is really. com plete without it. Let us see some of the things it will do for us, and we believe you will agree that it should have a place on every farm in the South. It will generate electricity lor lighting the house and the barn and for running the sew ing machine; it will pump the water, hot and cold, to every part of the house, the barn and the garden; it. will make possible a bath in the home and a sanitary sewage disposal system, thus safeguarding health. It will milk the cows, separate the cream and churn the butter; it will riuuhe silage cutter and fill the silo: it will shred the stover arid grind the feed tor the livestock. Asa tractor it will break and harrow fids, sow . the grain,-cut, bind and thresh it; it will bale the4 hay and straw, and haul the products of the farm to m4rk.ei,-.'.as well as saw: lumber and the jjtarm wood supply.

LIVE Ji IS simple and easy to operate; it can be started in a few moments;, it is adapted to many kinds of work; the fuel used is comparatively inexpensive and no fireman is necessary. It pumps water for the house, barns, garden and pastures. It cuts and grinds feed for poultry, pigs, sheep, cattle and horses. It runs the washing machine, the chum, the milk separator, and the pump at the same time. It will mn the saw, the emery wheel, the grindstone, and while doing thesehigs, run a dynamo and charge a storage battery .NTJie current frmn the storage, battery is used to'lioht the home and barns, to run the sewing machine,, to iron thr clothes and run an electric fan. It will shell the corn, bale the hay, run the'eoftt mill, run the thresher and milk the cows while they eat the; feed. which it .has prepared, for them. It will also shear the sheep and clip the horses. In the form of a tractor, it plows, threshes, shreds, seeds, harvests, hauls the crop to town,digs ditches, pulls stumps, and grades and drags roads. It transfers burdensome work from flesh and blood to iron and steel. ' It will do the hardest jobs connected with the housewife's work, thus lifting the drudgery from her shoulders. G. II.

Can we afford not. to have good lights,'-running' water' and a sanitary sewerage system? Is there anv real reason why city homes should have all these and other conveniences '.-as Well, while .farm homes go without them? Isn't it the part of wisdom, that our boys ' and girls may learn to love and cleave to the goodness .'and sweetness of the open country, that, so far as may be possible, we eliminate the hard, 'dreary drudgery that has sent many a boy. and girl cityward? Hard work is all right, but unless you teach a boy to do part of it with his head Ik's likely to look for a new job. With the return of good times and prosperity to all our territory, we suggest that there are few bet ter ways by which you can .use a little cash to advantage than in buy ing a gasoline engine. It will make vour farm a better place to live. . . Paire 3 5 6 8 10 12 12 13 13 13 16 18 21 lord 10 have Mother continue io draw and i
