This table will be found usetful in all 

 estimates and calculations of farm 

 costs. It must be remembered, how- 

 ever, that the average life of farm 

 machinery will vary greatly accord- 

 ing to the care given it, causing a 

 variation in the figures given. The 

 depreciation figure generally used for 

 all housed machinery is 10 per cent., 

 and this would be a reasonahle figure 

 to use for gasoline engines. In mak- 



ing cost estimates there is generally 

 one item called interest and deprecia- 

 tion. If, therefore, a gasoline engine 

 cost $200.00, money being worth 6 

 per cent., the interest and deprecia- 

 tion would be 16 per cent, or $32.00. 

 If the engine actually worked 200 

 days this would make a charge per 

 day of $6.35 in addition to fuel and 

 l?bor charges. 



Economical and Reliable Farm Power 



Power from a Massey-Harris Engine is cheaper than man 

 power — costs nothing in wages or keep when not working — and 

 is "always on the job." 



Get one of these Engines, pump the water, saw the wood, 

 run the cream separator, churn, washing machine, feed grinder, 

 grindstone, ensilage cutter, pulper, etc.
