IMPLEMENTS

Implements. 



Compared with those necessary for use in farming, 

 the rancher's outfit of implements and tools need 

 be but small. The following list gives some of the 

 more important items of the best quality, with their 

 approximate prices in most ranching towns. Never 

 invest in second-hand machines, or implements of 

 any kind, if you wish to avoid trouble. It never 

 pays in the long run, unless you happen to be a 

 practical mechanic, and can correctly appraise the 

 probable future value of any used article for the 

 particular purpose for which you may require it.
