THE IERIGATION AGE. 



ENOUGH POWER HERE TO PLOW A SECTION 

 AND A QUARTER IN ONE DAY. 



They're "on their way" to Canada forty one modern 

 farm horses. This train of twenty-two cars was one-third 

 of a shipment of one hundred and thirty Hart-Parr Gas 

 Tractors ordered this spring by the farmers of Manitoba 

 and Saskatchawan, Canada. The value of the three ship- 

 ments exceeded $300,000. The route was over the Chicago, 

 Milwaukee & St. Paul from Charles City, Iowa ; then over 



Canadian farmers nowadays think a long time before they 

 buy twenty or thirty expensive horses to carry over all 

 winter then find them soft and unequal to the heavy de- 

 mands of spring work. 



In these sections horses are very expensive. The num- 

 ber of days they can work is shorter than in the United 

 States. They break down under the excessive strain of 

 early spring work and have been proven a source of great 

 loss to the grain farmers of these provinces. This is one 

 of the reasons why Hart-Parr tractors are so popular. 



TRAIN LOAD OF HART-PARR ENGINES. 



the Great Northern from St. Paul ; then by the Canadian 

 Northern to Portage La Prairie, Manitoba. These three 

 shipments of gas tractors sent to one point are the biggest 

 in the history of the world. The demand for Hart-Parr 

 Tractors is a remarkable testimony to their efficiency. 



These tractors were delivered to farmers all over the 

 two big provinces and are now at work breaking sod or do- 

 ing regulation farm work once handled so slowly by horses. 

 Just think ! Enough power to turn 800 acres in a day, 

 or a section and a quarter. What does it indicate regard- 

 ing the tremendous growth of the Canadian Northwest? 



The Hart-Parr Company has just issued a new book, 

 "Plowing and Tilling With a Modern Farm Horse." It's 

 a good book to have. It explains costs and uses of a gas 

 tractor, compares daily work-costs of steam, horses and 

 gas tractor. Makes suggestions for home-constructed hitches 

 for drills and harrows. Address them at Charles City, Iowa.
