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.
