the ground well. The curved-hoe is also less
easily bent. When hoef i have ecoroe ; very

Disks. Disks are sharpened ; by grinding
with an emery wheel. A power driven wheel
is best, but a hand driven- wheel will do
the work. To get the best job,' the disks
should be mounted on some sort of standard
so that they may be turned' throughout the
process of grinding. A smooth and even
finish cannot be given unless' they are held
firmly and evenly to the wheel. "
Hand Hoes. Hand hoes should be sharp
ened by grinding with , an emery . wheel. If
there is not such a wheel on the. farm, they
may be sharpened by filing. Some farmers
bevel hoes one way and some another,- With'
a file, the bevel may be given either the. in
side or the outside of the. hoe.- . With an
emery wheel, it is much easier, to grind the
bevel outside. " - J"""' .

Farmers everywhere are enthusiastic over
; the big work-capacity. -of the compact,
powerful little tank-type Cletrac.
In all tillage operations the Gletrac pulls
"steadily and easily over rough ground, fresh
plowed earth or soft-seedbeds.
The firm, sure grip of the broad metal
tracks turns practically all its power into
. direct draw-bar pull.
; The Cletrac doesn't pack, "dig-in" or form
hard-pan. Its weight is only 4M pounds per
square inch of tractive surface."
Even during the dustiest operations the
new air-washer feeds clean most air to the -,
Cletrac motor.
Talk with trie Cletrac dealer near you. Or
write for a copy of 'Selecting Your Tractor.'
