A Word to Our Farmer Friends.

A manure spreader is a sure remedy for hard times. Every wide-awake farmer will plan to make up some of the losses sustained by reason of the ruinous slump in prices of farm produce last fall. One of the easiest and surest ways to do this is to encrease the quality and quantity of bis crops. Tbe farmer who had a spreader last year, and used it, got as muoh again money oat of the use of the same amount of manure as tbe man did who had no machine and spread the old way, and as a matter of oourse he had much more good corn. In short, the men who had spreaders and nsed them are about the only men who have good oorn this year. Investigate this assertion and it will be found to be true. That barnyard manure is the best crop-producer, when properly applied, none will dispute. That machine spreading produces best results none but the uninformed will deny. Buy a manure spreader, it will increase your corn crop 50 per cent in quality and 33 per cent quantity. There are very few unachinee made with which you can know what you are spreading to the acre. This feature is of the utmost iMPORTAncE With my machine yon know exactly what amount you are spreading. If

you want six loads, set the lever, and you get six, not eight. Any of the machines will spread much, very few will spread too little After spreading by hand almost every new beginner, being used to seeing the manure aothiok. on the ground, pats on too much, by machine. This is a fatal mistake! You buy tbe machine so that you can turn all the manure into corn, hay or grain the year you spread it. That is where itmakes YOU money. To dothis the manure must be spread thin and thoroughly torn to pieces. One hundred loads—and moat farmers have more than that—of manure spread with my machine will put enough on 16f aores of of ground to double a grass crop, or to add from 10 to 20 bushels of corn to the acre, and all of good quality. This same 100 loads if spread by hand would not cover more than four or five acres. A big inorease from 12 aores is therefore obtained by using a machine over hand spreading and with tbe same amount of manure and half the labor and time. Boy a manure spreader for cash if you can, on time if you most, while they are sold at the old prioe. I sell the best spreader in Rensselaer. Come in and let me prove it to you. C. A. ROBERTS.
