four of his horses and buy a CLEVELAND TRACTOR His land will be better farmed at less cost than by the old method The CLEVELAND TRACTOR is economical to run because it is fool proof in construction and will run equally well on gasoline or kerosene The construction is so simple that anyone can learn to run a CLEVELAND TRACTOR in a short time Write for information about the CLEVELAND TRACTOR J The CLEVELAND TRACTOR is a high power machine of the creeper type It will plow as well or better and much faster than horses or any other Tractor Then after the field is plowed the Cleveland will go over it with the disk harrow manure spreader grain drill or any other implement without packing the soil The Cleveland does this because its weight is so evenly dis tributed over its 600 square inches of tractor surface A wheel tractor is not adapted for work on loose soil because it sinks in so deeply and takes a great deal of power to pull it Then too seed which is sown where the wheel runs takes
