A Word for Our Farmer Friends.

A manure spreader is a sure remedy for hard times. I Every wideawake farmer will plan to make uy some of the losses sustained by reason of the ruinous slump in prices of farm products last fall. One of the easiest and surest ways to do this is to increase the QUALITY and QUANTITY of his crops. The farmer who had a spreader last year, and used it, got as much again MONEY opt of the use of the same amount of manure as the man did who had no machine and spread the old wav, and as a matter of course he had much more GOOD CORN. In short, the men who had spreaders and used them are about the only men who have good corn this year. Investigate this assertion and it w'ill 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 In QUANTITY. There are very few machines made with which you can know what you are spreading to the acre. This feature is of the UTMOST IMPORTANCE. With my machine you know EXACTLY what amount you are spreading. If you want six loads, Bet the lever, and you get SIX, NOT EIGHT. Any of the machines will spread TOO MUCH, very few will I spread TOO LITTLE. After spreading by hand almost every new beginner, being used to seeing the manure so thick on the ground, puts on too much by machine. This is a fatal mistake! You buy the machine so that you can turn all the manure into corn, hay or grain the year you spread It THAT IS WHERE IT MAKES YOU MONEY. To do this thi 1 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 16% acres of ground to double a grass crop, or to add from 10 to 20 bushels of corn to tljj 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 amount of manure and half the labor and time. Buy a manure spreader for cash it you can, on time if you 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.
