Is lack of power preventing you from farming more land? 
Are your crop yields limited by shallow plowing, or by seed beds pre 
pared improperly or too late? 
Will the spring work leave you tired out and dissatisfied this year be 
cause of the slow progress you made?

is shown all ready to put his sweet little 
companions into a hive. Mr. Jennings 
has our full permission to handle bees in 
this way, but we ask to be excused when 
our •turn comes. 
You can overcome all these limitations, 
and the losses they cause, by the purchase 
of a Case Tractor not*'. You can realize a 
profitable return on its dependable power 
and ability to do all your heavy work. 
Case Tractor Sizes; 10-18, 
15-2 7, 22 - 40 . 
One of these sizes will meet the power require¬ 
ments of your farm. The 10-18 will plow from 
6 to 9 acres a day and perform other work at a 
corresponding rate. The 15-27 will perform the 
same operations about fifty per cent faster. If 
your field or belt work demand greater power, 
the 22-40 will best meet your requirements. 
Because of its greater efficiency, the larg¬ 
est tractor you can use advantageously 
will prove the most profitable. 
Power. 
Case heavy duty kerosene engines are 
noted for their power, flexibility and economy. 
Case Tractors have demonstrated remarkable 
economy and efficiency by winning the majority 
of all important tests in which they have been 
entered. 
Ample reserve power has been provided to 
meet all emergencies with recommended loads. 
An even flow of power from flexible, Case four 
cylinder, valve in head engines is always ready 
for light or heavy pulls. The sure acting gov¬ 
ernor automatically maintains correct field or 
belt speeds. With the two speed transmission 
it is possible to get maximum results from the 
various implements used. A well designed draw¬ 
bar of proper height and with a wide range of 
adjustment makes the correct hitching of plows 
and other tools easy. 
Belt Work. 
Belt operations are often the most profitable 
work of a tractor, and, on the average, make up 
more than a quarter of its entire work. On 
Case Tractors the belt pulley is mounted on the 
engine crankshaft where the full power of the 
engine is available for belt work. Being directly 
in front of the operator it is easy to line up with 
the driven machine. This feature saves hours 
of time in a busy season. 
General Purpose Tractors. 
All three sizes of Case Tractors are adapted to 
road hauling, grading, and all field operations by 
reason of correct weight, proper weight distribu¬ 
tion, and effective traction speeds. 
The requirements of actual Farm work deter¬ 
mined the essentials of Case Tractor design and 
construction. That is why the Case is so weil 
adapted to all kinds of drawbar and belt work— 
so useful to farmers.

Getting Rid of Skunks 
What ou earth can we do to get rid 
of skunks? Our place is becoming unin¬ 
habitable for human beings. We have GO 
acres, low, swampy land. j. p. 
New York. 
Of course, you realize that what is a 
nuisance to you would *be considered a 
“bonanza” to certain skunk farms. The 
fur of the skunk is valuable, and many a 
man would rejoice if Ik had your odorous 
neighbors. We should get a good outfit 
of traps and make a business of trapping 
them. By studying their habits you can 
learn how to catch them. The skunk is 
a stupid animal, ami can he easily caught. 
We should also organize a hunt and in¬ 
vite men and boys throughout the neigh¬ 
borhood to come with their guns and dogs 
and make a business of cleaning out the 
skunks. Probably the time will come 
when in many of such low places poison 
gas will be used to destroy wild creatures. 
We understand that experiments are to 
be made this year with such gas in killing 
the cotton-boll insect in protected valley* 
at the South. At present, however, there 
is nothing better than thorough trapping 
and organized hunting for the skunks.

Prospects in the Rabbit Business 
I am considering breeding and raising 
rabbits (Flemish Giants). Would you 
advise me to do this? Is the demand in 
the market good, and could you give me 
the names of a few reliable markets? 
Ilaledon, X. J. ,i. a. t. 
The rabbit business is depressed at 
this time, just like any other business. 
In normal times there is a good demand 
for Flemish Giants, both for breeding 
stock and meat purposes. To reach the 
buyer of breeding stock you would have 
to advertise, while your utility stock 
might be sold locally or through commis¬ 
sion houses. Unless you are experienced 
in the raising of rabbits I would not ad¬ 
vise plunging deep into it. The best plan 
would be to start with some good utility 
stock, two or three does (bred) and a 
buck; buy them from different rahbitries 
if convenient, and you will have no bother 
with inbreeding. When you have gained 
experience i( is time enough to got the 
pedigreed or registered stock. If your 
experience with utility stock does not 
warrant, your investing in high-class 
stock, you will not be out so much.

Removing Soot from Chimney 
To burn soot out of chimney or stove¬ 
pipe, have a moderate tire of coals in tbe 
stove, and put a few cliipplngs of zinc on 
them. The blue gas they make while 
burning will clean the inside of the stove, 
pipe and chimney as free as* the outside.
