Those who have never nsed a gas-| oline engine can hardly realize what a lobor-saving and profitable mach- Ine It is on the farm. With my ten-horsepower engine 1 can do many things with very little cost that would otherwise cost me considerable each year. To do any and all kinds of work the farmer wants at least a ten- horsepower as the purchase price and the cost of running one is but very little more than the cost of a smaller one and with the larger en- gine you can do a great deal more work than with the smaller oge. With my engine, I can drive a corn shredder just as easgily as a steam engine would and with much less cost as the engineers' wages are saved, besides the cost of foel for steam power, which is greater than the cost of gasoline for the power. For ten hours' running of my en- gine, which is ten horsepower, it takes ten gallons of oil per day. This, at eleven cents per gallon, makes the cost of running for ten hours $1,10; that is, when running up to its full capacity. But, when the work is not so heavy you can run on less oil.
