International Auto Buggies and Auto Wagons (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from International Auto Buggies and Auto Wagons <p>The designers of the International auto buggy considered serviceability as the first requisite. A century of carriage building has taught makers that lightness and strength were absolutely necessary in vehicles for country, town, and rural roads. The combination of both these features has resulted in the International auto buggy, a car that has all the advantages of a buggy and none of its disadvantages, and for this reason it is the only logical successor to the horse and buggy. <p>The high wheels give abundant road clearance and the solid rubber tires elim inate tire troubles. So great is the difference in cost that an entire set of solid rubber tires can be purchased for the price of one good pneumatic tire. These features eliminate the excessive cost that is common to the automobile with pneu matic tires. It means greater service and a more dependable car, for the simple reason that the driver is not obliged to stop and repair a puncture when he is several miles in the country. One great feature of the International auto buggy that will appeal to every user of country roads is the fact that this car does no more harm to any roadbed than the ordinary spring wagon, which cannot be said of high-speed pneumatic-tire machines. For this reason the International auto buggy will commend itself to all those who desire good roads, and particularly to those who are taxed heavily for their maintenance. <p>About the Publisher <p>Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

International Cultivators (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from International Cultivators <p>The cultivator has much to do with favorable growing conditions for the corn. Thorough stirring of the soil around the corn roots and between the rows is what makes the corn grow. Moisture is thereby conserved, weeds are kept out, and the corn receives the full benefit of both rain and sun. <p>Corn comes on rapidly when once above the ground - so do the weeds. It is therefore essential in a cultivator that it stirs the soil thoroughly to the right depth and plows out the weeds. It must also have staying qualities. It must be easy to handle and adjust so that cultivator, man and team can keep going steadily throughout the day, and day after day, without loss of time. <p>Where a large number of acres are planted with corn, the rapidity with which one field can be finished, and the cultivating in another one started, often means a partial failure or a good crop yield. <p>About the Publisher <p>Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The Cattle Tick This Pest Can Be Destroyed (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Cattle Tick: This Pest Can Be Destroyed <p>There are various kinds of species of ticks to be found on cattle in the Southern States, but the one that chiefly concerns us here is that commonly called the cattle or Texas-fever tick. It is the one most frequently found on cattle and is much more abundant than the other species. When the losses occasioned by this parasite are once thoroughly understood by farmers and stockmen there will be little need for arguments in favor of tick eradication. Some of the losses are not directly noticeable and consequently make little impres sion, while other losses properly chargeable to the tick are frequently attributed to other causes. <p>It is hardly necessary to emphasize the important fact that the tick is something more than a simple parasite drawing blood from his host, it being the carrier of a dangerous micro-organism or germ, which it transmits to the blood of cattle, thus causing a disease known by many names, among which are Texas fever, tick fever, splenetic fever, and murrian. Without the tick there can be no Texas fever, and it is by preventing the Spread of the tick beyond its natural bounds that the fever has been prevented from waging destruction among Northern-cattle, which are especially susceptible to the disease. In order to restrict the distribution of the tick the national and state government maintain a quarantine line extending from the Atlantic to the Pacific coast, marking the boundary between the states or portions of states harboring this pest and those that do not. Cattle of the quarantined area can not be driven across this line, and may be shipped only in accordance with the regulations of the Secretary of Agriculture to prevent the spread of splenetic fever of cattle. <p>About the Publisher <p>Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

GEORGE NORTH & SON, JOHANNESBURG, AFRICA Extracts from The Transvaal Leader, June 10, 1911 The firm was established in lW) by the late George North, Esq., who in 1885 was compelled to retire because of ill-health. The elder son, G. H. North, controlled the business, and has since continued to guide the destinies of the firm, being later joined by his brother, W. B. North. The trade developed to such an enormous extent that the firm was compelled to establish branches throughout South Africa to meet the increase of trade, the first branch being established in Johannesburg in 18S8. The firm's intimate knowledge of the trade is reflected in the organization of their spare parts department, which is a feature of decided merit in a country of such magnificent distances as South Africa. The firm supplies everything in agricultural implements for upto-date farms. They handle large stocks of the International Harvester Company. In this connection can be mentioned the McCormick harvesting machines, which include flinders, reapers, mowers, hay rakes, etc. The coin APPROACHING A CUSTOMER By L. H. Cowles, General Manager, Australia We must catch our hare before we can cook him. I presume that it will be safe to assume that we don't actually sell over ten men in every hundred we approach.

On account of the large territory that we cover each traveler must have not only a knowledge of the machines that we sell and be able to remedy any trouble that a purchaser may have, but also to know where the nearest transfer house is situated and to see that the necessary parts are ordered. There is also another factor that enters into our difficulties. We are not blessed with rapid transportation. Some of our towns are so situated that they can be reached only by boat, running weekly or twice a month, while others are on railroads where they do not attempt to run the trains during the winter. Our summer season is short and the harvest late, the hay cutting closing only when the snow gets so deep that the machines cannot be used. While our sales are not as large as some agencies, we have the satisfaction of seeing the sales increase each year, and we are trying to educate our local dealers and customers to do more of their business on a cash basis, as it is far better for all concerned. The employes of the Deering Rolling Mills, to show their loyalty and patriotism to Uncle Sam, recently made a voluntary subscription and purchased an American flag. The flag was raised on our flag pole, Saturday, May 19th. E. C. Gratteau made a few appropriate remarks, and the big gathering joined in singing several patriotic hymns.
