THE CHOICE OF POWER

RECAPITULATION 



A thousand and one variable factors operate to shift the 

 advantage in economy from one type of power to another. 

 A thousand factors other than cost make one power the most 

 adaptable to a given problem. Conditions are not exactly 

 the same on any two farms and each farmer must decide for him- 

 self the type of power best adapted to his use. After that he 

 should attempt to secure by a single purchase a motor that is 

 simple, durable, reliable, and efficient adaptable to its work, 

 its working conditions, the intelligence of its operator, and 

 the fuel which he is able to provide most easily and at the 

 lowest cost.
