can be secured at the refineries at prices as low as i^c per gallon 

 are its bread — its daily food. It burns kerosene at maximum 

 load as well as at no load. Temperature and atmospheric condi- 

 tions do not affect its operation. 



This feature regarding fuel costs and the fact that pi^t i- 

 burns kerosene should be borne in mind by those about to purchase 

 an engine, since three years hence the price of gasoHne will be 

 much higher.

This cost will vary somewhat in different locaHties. In light Suitah?, 



loamy soil the oil consumption would be less, while in the tough Only f, 



gumbos more power, and consequently more oil, is required. The 

 cost of labor varies considerably. The calculation is based upon 

 a working day of ten hours. If the engine is used more than that 

 number of hours in one day, interest and other charges are corre- 

 spondingly lower. If fuel or gas oil, which can be obtained at 

 from two to three cents per gallon, is used in place of kerosene, 

 the fuel cost is much less. When well handled, a larger acreage 

 can be turned.
