the new one put on always leaves the plow full width. Every 

 time a steel lay is sharpened it gets smaller, so a fourteen- 

 inch plow does not remain fourteen inches. The steel lays 

 are useful, however, in many soils, and if a farmer has a 

 soil upon which he can use both kinds he can take advantage 

 of all these conditions. A modification of the old sidehill 

 plow is the new two-way plow with which the field may be 

 turned from one side and avoid extra tramping as well as 

 dead furrows and back furrows. 



Where fields are large enough and long lands can be laid 

 out, plowing by steam or gasoline is being adopted in many 

 parts of the West. On our dry prairies at considerable dis- 

 tances from water and coal supply, steam plowing proves ex- 

 pensive. There are new gasoline or kerosene power engine 

 which are coming into favor for both plowing and othe 

 forms of power needed on the farm. A steam engine requires 

 for its running an extra man and team with water tank, and 

 where distances from water and coal are great, this item 

 of expense is a large one. The main difficulty with any 

 kind of power plowing seems to be lack of knowledge and 

 skill on the part of operators. This kind of work has been 

 eminently successful where men who understand their 

 business can be obtained to do the work.

 and the class of big-brained, big-hearted, strong-muscled 

 people there brought together. 



I think it is quite safe to predict that Southern Idahc 

 will always be in the forefront of all the irrigated sectior 

 of the West, and I expect to see the land sell within 

 short time for $200 per acre. I heartily congratulate yc 

 and your associates for having achieved a notable thing 

 in the way of a great world movement. 



Yours sincerely, JOSEPH E. WING.

Gentlemen : After 

 using electric power for 

 over eight years, it is 

 with pleasure we can 

 state your salesman 

 eventually induced us to 

 invest in a gas engine. 



Your engine has been 

 running daily in our shop 

 for the past year, and in 

 comparing the cost of 

 power of former years 

 with this year we find 

 there is a saving of over 

 50% , or in other words 

 the engine has paid for 

 itself the first year. 

 Yours very truly, 

 A. Nacke & Son. 



IF MOST GAS ENGINES WERE GIVEN TO YOU FREE THEY WOULD STILL PROVE MORE 

 EXPENSIVE THAN THE OTTO IN THE LONG RUN! 



This is one of the reasons why 



These photographs show you how the Otto is cast in four distinct parts, viz., the frame, cylinder, water jacket 

 and cylinder head. 



This costs a little more than casting several parts in a unit as is usually practiced. 



But the economy is obvious 



Suppose you damage one of these parts by accident: for instance your water jacket should get broken. 



With the Otto all you have to do is remove the damaged jacket alone and it can be replaced or repaired immediately. 



But suppose your engine isn't an Otto; then your water jacket, cylinder and frame are probably all cast together. 

 You would have to either ship the entire business off for repairs or replace practically a whole new engine. 



Then where would your small saving of first cost be? 



See the logic of it? 



tl'sul-s t'i ... nl t-ylindrr! n"it refo'tiif sn-neror Int r With the Otto instead of shipping a whole engine to us or 

 we shipping a whole reboring plant to VOH, all you have to do is to remove and send us the cylinder itself. 



And this construction is only one of the details which make the Otto cheapest. 



We want to give you more evidence if you will drop us a line. There's an Otto user in your neighborhood. Let us 

 tell you who he is. Let us help you out of any special difficulty you are up against. Fill in the coupon no-w-
