Reference was made to the Jack of care taken in many Wises with tractors costing from 52.000 to $2.500 each. They are used fnl‘ ploughing, harrowing and general farm work, and. the ob- server, who mourned the careless mess and waste, said it was a common thing to see these costly machines left out all winter, ex- nosed to the elements. without the protection that might be af- forded. even by a good coating of grease.

It may be of interest to note that it was in 1897, about the close of the hard years, that we saw the ex- nosed binders, and coincident With this the same farmers were cry ng about hard times.
