The small 0b such as churning, washing, shell ing' corn, grinding, feed, etc., cannot be done economically with the large engine, and for; this ; purpose every farmer should Jiave a small station ary engine with a line, shaft over head, and then have his different ma chines placed so as . to ': be ; operated from this shaft. It is as equally evi dent that the small engine will not do the heavy jobs, so the large en gine fills another place. Engines of both kinds will pay for themselves cn the average farm if properly hand led. . The number of cylinders an, engine should have depends on the horse power. Instead of having one big cylinder on a twenty horsepower, en-' gine, two ten horsepower cylinders are used. In this way the engine is more easily balanced and -the" small cylinders are more easily cooled than a large one would De. inis is aiso why the forty or eighty hprsepower tractor has four cylinders instead of two. N .. ; v My advice to the farmer is: Pick out an engine for which you have the greatest number of uses, buy it, and then use it. An engine will pay for it self in a comparatively few weeks of actual operation, - so-the-wiseT farmer will make it work full time when it will save expensive human labor. If he does this he will, get his money back all the earlier and not . only -his first investment with cost of operation, but also a profit in doUars ana cents and satistaction. the spray pump purchased.- the barrel and not above it. -v lime-sulphur solution will attack .

If the same should be carefully drained after each care was given to iron parts as to spraying. v brass parts they would probably do just as well.

HARNED. SPRAYING APPARATUS AND HOW TO USE IT Do You Plant for Your Family, or for the Bugs and Worm? "No Spray. No Pay," an Accepted Truth A GOOD spraying machine of some, sort should have its place . on ff?tvtry farm. As a matter of fact, large numbers of these machines are pur chased each year, by Southern farm ers, and with he increasing diversifi cation of crops the" number of spray- t u. i uidcnines is rapidly - increasing. Many of our best farmers look upon spraying as a regular farm practice, ana spraying is done as a matter, of course as regularly each year as. the Rowing, planting, cultivating, and harvesting of the various crops. I 1IAA . . . "clc are many crops, such as ap ples, peaches, oranges, potatoes' and tomatoes, that must be sprayed regu larly each year if profitable crops are iu oc expected. There are other crops ui as pecans, pears, corn, melons, u strawberries, that mav reou re spraying only occasionally in order to Produce profitable croos. but in" some sections some of these crops must be sprayed every year. In fact, there'is Probably not a crop that Vrnws that U not greatly benefited at times b in telligent snrovin' A iu.-;.

Mitchell 127-inch Sv? fiTYR9 ' Wheelbase Now Also An $115 0 Model With Nearly All the Mitchell Extras A Doubled Output to Meet a New Demand Thousands of men have wanted a car with all the Mitchell extra fea tures. But they did not want a car so big and impressive. They. did not' want a 7-passenger car. We have built for them the Mitchell Junior a Mitchell Six in little smaller ; size. Its 40 horsepower is ample for five passengers Its 120-inch wheel base gives plenty of room for five more than most makers give. , . The $1150 price gives all of the sav ing to the man who doesn't want extra power and size. ' r Last year we sent.ouC thousands of these cars before announcing this new model. And ' Mitchell Junior has proved itself as perfect as the larger Mitchell. . So we have more than doubled our factory capacity, to build as many Mitchell Juniors as we, build of the 7-passenger Mitchells. ; vHundrieds; -of Extras . Both1 of the Mitchells embody bun-J : dretls of extras, paid, for by factory savings. They give you at least per cent extra value over other cars in their clas9. -,AH because John , W. . Bate, the great 'efficiency expert, has cut our factory costs in two. There are 31 extra features things which other cars omit. On this year's output these extras alone will cost us about $4,000,000.; ' There isjnuch added luxury. . We have added 24 per cent to the cost of finish, upholstery . and trimming. That is all paid for by savings made this year in our new body plant. And there is now 100 per cent over strength in every vital part. That is, everypart is twice as strong as need be. The evidence is that this double strength makes the Mitchell a life time car. " . ..- TV The Mitchell standard for many years has been 50 per cent over strength. Under that standard Mitch ell cars have proved marvels of en durance. Two Mitchells that we know of already have exceeded 200,000 miles each. Seven of them have averaged 175,000 miles eachover 30 years of ordinary service. But in 1913 Mr. Bate spent a year in Europe. When he came back he started out to double our margins of safety to more than match the high est European standards. It has taken years to do this. But we announce this, year this double strength in every vital part. Over 440 parts are built of tough ened steel. All parts which get a major strain are built of Chrome Vanadium. We use steel alloys which cost us up to 15 cents per pound. And all the parts on which safety depends are made oversize. TWO SIZES : Mitchell SfS-BSSS: wheelbase.

And not one spring has broken. That one, fact will illustrate what this extra strength means in every, vital part. For you know how springs break under shock. Exclusive Values These extra values are exclusive to Mitchell cars. No other factory in the world could include them at the Mitchell price. v This model plant, covering 45 acres, was built and equipped by John W. Bate. Every machine is adapted to build this one type economically. The methods employed here have cut our factory cost in two. t That is what pays for these extras. ... That is what pays for this vast over strength. . ; Now a new body plant building all Mitchell bodies saves us a vast sum more. That goes into luxury into 'heat -fixed finish, into rare -grade ' leather, into countless dainty details. The latest Mitchells are the hand somest cars under $2000. Go see these extras, which are num bered by the hundreds. See what they mean in a car: You will not want a fine cai; which lacks them. There are Mitchell dealers every where.
