A Word to Our Farmer Friends.

A manure spreader is a sure remedy for hard times. Every wide-awake farmer will plau to make up some of tbe losses sustained by reason of tbe ruinous slump in prices of farm produce last fall. One of tbe easiest and surest ways to do this is to encrease the quality and quantity of bis crops. The farmer who bad a spreader last year, and used it, got as muoh again money out of the use of tbe same amount qf manure as tbe man did who had no machine and spread the old way, and as a matter of course he had much more good corn. In short, the men who had spreaders and nsed them are about the only men who have good corn 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 bat the uninformed will deny. Bay a manure spreader, it will increase yonr corn crop 50 per cent in quality and 33 per cent quantity. There are very few machines made with whioh you can know what yon are spreading to the aore. This feature is of the utmost iMPORTAnCE With my machine you know exactly what amount yon are spreading. If

you want six loads, set the lever, and you get six, not eight. Any of the machines will spread too much, very few will spread too little After spreading by hand almost every new beginner, being nsed to seeing tbe manure so thick on the ground, pats on too mach by maobine. This is a fatal mistake! You boy the machine so that yon oan tnrn all the manure into corn, hay or grain the year you spread it. That is where it MAKES YOU money. To do this the manure must be spread thin and thoroughly torn to pieces. One hundred loads—and most farmers have more than that—of manure spread with my machine will put enough on 16f acres 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 increase from 12 acres is therefore obtained by using a machine over hand spreading and with the same umonnt of manure and half the labor and time. Buy a manure spreader for oash if you oan, on time if yon must, while they are sold at the old price. I sell the best spreader in Rensselaer. Come in and let me prove it to you. C. A. ROBERTS.
