A POWERFUL TRACTION ENGINE AT WORK 
This new and authoritative work deals with the subject in a scientific 
way and from a new view-point. Dr. Collins has devoted his life-time 
to the study of changing economic agricultural conditions. “Back to 
the soil” was never a more attractive proposition and never so worthy of 
being heeded as during these opening years of the twentieth 
century. Farm life to-day offers more inducements than at 
any previous period in the world’s history, and it is calling 
millions from the desk.
