The Gasoline Engine on the Farm: A Practical, Comprehensive Treatise on the Construction, Repair, Management and Use of This Great Farm Power As ... Work Indoors and Out (Classic Reprint)

It requires the theorists careful study to develop new inventions, even though accident may have first sug. gested them. I t. remains for the practical workman to adapt something that may have only great academic interest in practical work and thus obtain results that make the new discovery of world-wide value. The formulae of philosophy are needecf among engineers and scientists and should not be discredited or valued too lightly, but, at the same time, the workmen who apply the theory to practice require only the every-day language of the field in an exposition designed for their instruction. rT he gasoline engine was, until recently, but a theory; it is now a completed fact and has been turned over to the result getter. It is doing the worlds work everywhere. In many industries it is taking the place of other forms of power, but it is just entering into a mission upon the farm that has heretofore been unfilled. With the coming of a prime mover that is really applicable totthe petialiarconditions surrounding the Jimmi ej4g-~ifcok. ftiere comes a demand for men trained for the opportunity, capable of making the most out of that which was yesterday a dream and is to-day an achievement fcrT he problems of the engine and its management will face the farmer of the future with the same imperative demand for their solution that now obtains regarding those incidental to the intelligent care and control of his live stock and agricultural machinery.
