_PAGE TWELVE THE DAILY BRITISH WHIG, SATURDAY, MAY 17, 1919. In the Automobile World IIS A FARM NECESSTY FARMERS OF 1HE DISTRICT US- ING MANY TRACTORS, ' Pl Show Enterprise and Appreciation of Modern Farm Work-Horse, The Whig de pleased with the way that the. farmers of this conserva- tive old district are taking to farm tractors. 'I'he Ontario Government Agricultural Department has done much to make thein popular but they would mever huve "taken" were it not for the enterprise of the indi- yldual farmers themselves. A nuin- ber of farmers, particularly those lv- ing close to the city are using them, one of Lhe dairymen on the Ganano- que road have two, 3 A tractor is a more satisfactory source of power than the horse be- cause as a rule it delivers its pow- er at a much lower cost while doing work and when not at work --does not cost a cent. Furthermore, be cause it combines a greater amount of power into a single compact unit in the control of one man, it solves to a great extent the hired help prob- lem if combinations of farm = ma- chines are made to utilize this pow- er to the best advantage. A tractor will do practically any- thing on a farm that horses can do, and in addition is adaptable to belt work. There are some few except- fons, such as planting corn, which can best be done with herses; also cultivating, except where a motor cultivator is used. AHN operations on a grain farm, owever, from plowing to hauling the crop to mar- ket, all operations in corn growing 'with the exception of those mention- ed above, all work ii"rhaymaking with the exception of operating sweep rakes and stackers cam pro- fitably be handled with a tractor. It also gives excellent service on .

Twenty-two | of this number claim that it is bene-| fickal; only nine claim to have no- | ticed any injury to the crop, re-| sulting supposedly from packing of } the soil. This proves that in - the] large majority of soils that are in in * condition to be worked with horses, the tractor causes mo injury, The number of years a tractor will last depends upon the number of hours it works éach year and the care that is given it. The life of a tractor properly handled and cared Ig®, should i% sufficient to more than pay for itself and leave its owner a good profit in time saved. ENGLAND HAS NEW i AIR-COOLED CAR, "Tis a Fussy "Two-Lunger," Weighing About a Third as Much as a Ford. Among the new automobile mod- els which are being prepared for early - appearance in England is a new air-cooled two-seated car, whose weight, it is said, will not exceand 600 pounds. It will be { known as the A B C light car. The engine rating will be from 15 to 28 horse-power, the latter being the estimated - rating at 3,000 revolu- tions. It is for the twin-cylinder horizontal opposed type, depending on its crank-shaft speed for its re- | 1atively large power output. It is sald the price will be just under | $1,000 "It willbe & fascinating little af- fair," remarks the Field of Lon- don, "for those who like a fussy, fast and lively miniature car, limit- ed in its load capacity, depending on its engine efficiency for its per- formance, and dwindling rapidly in its effort if that efficiency -he im- paired by any cause. It will be a very welcome addition to our ligt of British cars, but still it will leave a very wide margin unoccu- pied between it and the orthodox fifteen-horse-power model now list- ed at or about 500 pounds." HOTSPOT ENABLES CHALMERS, To Go Twenty-three Miles On Gallon Of Gas. Over twenty-three miles to the gal- lon is the remarkable gasoline record made by a Chalmers in Ohio accord- ing to. information received yester- day by Metropolitan Motor"s Limited, Chalmers dealer in Toronto, "This 4s perhaps a little higher than the average Chalmers consump- tion," remarked Mr. Campbell, "but is all the more sensational when it is known the record run was made with three passengers and over dirt roads near Bellevue, Ohio, where great quantities of sand make auto touring very hard at places, "The famous Chalmers Hot-spot has much to do with this record of economy. We have owners right in this section, wlio are getting maxi- mum mileage in their Chalmers, It is mot a'question of gofng farther on a gallon of gasoline but of extracting more power and allowing less wast- age on every gallon that passes through the manifold. It is this great function of conserving gasoline that has made the Hot-Spet famous." Dollar Gasoline in Paris.

Henry Ford's War Output } For the first time since the armis- tice was signed, official information has been given out by the Ford Motor Company as to its war work. The products it, turned out: for the government during the period of hostilities are listed as follows: 2,- 000,000 steel helmets, more than 8,000 trucks; over 6,000 ambul- ances; 25,000 standard Ford motor cars; 400,000 Liberty engine e¢ylin- ders; 8,000 eailssons, mainly for 165 mm. guns; 25 Eagles delivered and 37 more to be completed by August; 400,000 bearings for Liberty motor eylinders and 1,500 Liberty motors. The statement also reveals that the war department had placed orders for 150,000 of the small two-man military tanks, and 3,000 six-ton military tanks. Not more than a dozen or so of these were deliver- ed. In connection with this order it is stated that the foundation had been laid and the superstructure almost completed for an enormous 'building 'at the Ford works, which the company iutendéd to devote ex- clusively to tank manufacture. In addition, Ford's plant was us- ed for considerable experimental work. More than one million dollars' worth of work was done in the pro- duction of special devices for the British Navy, motion picture reels in behalf of Libefty loans, Red Cross and Patriotic Fund work were made and supplied to the govern- ment in sofficient quantities to serve the entire United States; also motion picture reels' in' volumes sufficient to serve the armies of the United States in France, Italy and Palestine. During the war the Henry Ford enterprises had an average of 34,000 men employed at the Ford Motor Company plant in Detroit; 6,800 at the shipyards at River Rouge; 4,000 at the blast furnaces in course of construction in the River Rouge district, and 250 at the car- bureter plant, making a total aver-) age of 45,000 men, practically all on one hundred per cent. gavern- ment work. MERITS OF MAXWELL. After 6000, Miles Trial Owner Wants No Other. "As a booster for the Maxwell car I can give you some varied exper- fences as 1 am mow driving my sec- ond Maxwell and will say that I haye tried practically all makes of cars in business ways and know of none un- der $1,200 that I would trade for a Maxwell. The only advantage would be in room and weight, which of course, increases gout . upks and general expenat Rh Ien ogo man wants to keep away from. "My first car was used one entire season in taking an appraisal of two entire county systemu'ol. telephone exchanges. 7 "The first year'l took a tour through the eastern states, a distance of 1,625 miles, using 59 gallons of gasoline which is a trifle over 22 miles per gallon. I 'hardly know what oil is, for it seems as if there -A8-never-any need to-put-any in in the three years past this car has gone about 5,800 miles in which time I have used 325 gallons of gas, 20 gal- loans of oil, and run the first tires un- til last fall when I changed as I am & crank on having tires in first class shape, so thought 5,600 miles was enough for one set of tires to go. "Tie service given by your station is second to none in community, for while 1 did not buy my car off you, I haye ever received the best of at- tentibn, advice and courtesy, often to the discommoding of your inter- ests, for which I am very grateful, The ability and willingness of your station make it a pleasure to ask for assistance and I assure you I shall continue to avail myself of the same as long as I need them, "I have had no need to buy re- palirs as there has been nothing broken on my car, but from exper- fences I kmow of, I realize you are able to take care of this Important feature, rapidly and efficiently. "I trust this will give you roughly the satisfaction [ feel with the Max- well and I assure you that you will not see me driving a "larger car which means double the expense of carrying. « a * Yours respectfully, | Fred A.

You do mplete, Maxwell-- A Car of Assured Reliability HE reliabili of every Maxwell is assured by the volume produced. One model quantity production involves the investment of mil= lions of dollars in special machinery, plants, laboratories, etc., before a single car is produced. Therefore, the basic design must be right--right ¥ question--before this special equipment beyond an is installed. And after production starts absolute accuracy in every part must be assured to prevent delays, wast- age, hand-labor---things we can't afford. No tools are too expensive--no precautions too claborate--to assure this result. This was our original plan and it has been con- sistently followed in producing the 300,000 Maxwells now on the roads of the world. 2 It is the reason why of Maxwell reliability-- economy- uniformity. 2 A car bn nade right to begin with saves you many a dollar even after you buy it.
