NEW IDEA MANURE SPREADER

c Tke New Idea certainly has advantages over other Manure The New Idea is quite different from other spread ers, first, it is very near the ground making it nice to load into and is usually drawn with but two horses. \ f . Second—lt is different from other Spreaders because it is much narrower and can be drawn through a smaller gate or door and stored away in a smaller room. . ‘Third —It differs from otjier Spreaders because it has twp, cylinders. The lower large cylinder carries the manure over the top while the smaller upper cylinder, revolving in the same direction, acts as a pulverizer when the manure comes in contact with both,. Aftej the manure passes through between the two cylinders it passes into the distributors which thoroughly pulverize and distrib-, ute the manure upon the soil. The New Idea can be seen at * .
