The New Era Auto-Irrigator-works whiie You sieep 



The thing you have been looking for — something which will distribute your water 

 into furrows with a uniform rate of flow and not require your continued attention. It 

 has been thoroughly tested for two years and its users speak in enthusiastic praise of 

 its work. The more rough and more difficult your land is to irrigate the more the 

 advantages of this irrigating device appear. It consists of a canvas hose with apertures 

 along one side, spaced about 20 inches apart, from which the water escapes into the 

 furrows. These apertures are fitted with a regulating device to regulate or stop the 

 flow of water. The hose is tapering in form to conform to the gradually diminishing 

 volume of water. The standard size is 75 feet long and 6 inches in diameter at large 

 end, and tapers to IV2 inches diameter at small end. which is open. It has a capacity 

 of about one-half cubic foot of water per second when the water in the ditch is raised 

 about S inches above the level of th« land. This will require that your ditch banks be 

 thrown, up a little higher than they generally are at present. The hose is easily and 

 quickly set in operation by connecting it with a pipe set into the ditch bank. The end 

 of pipe in the ditch has a cylindrical screen fitted over it to prevent the entrance of 

 leaves, etc. The hose is light and when one strip of land is irrigated it is easily carried 

 to the next strip. Where more than one hose is needed they can be used in a series, 

 according to the number needed. This device will pay for itself in two months' use or 

 less, besides saving from 20% to 50% in your water and producing better crops by the 

 uniform application of water, and also preventing your land from washing. For fuller 

 details send for descriptive circular. Will make a special discount on the first five 

 Irrigators bought and used in any community. We desire implement dealers to sell this 

 great labor and water-saving device in every town, or agents to demonstrate and sell it. 

 Good money for live men. Can be mailed anywhere in the United States by parcel post.

K: KIMBALL 

 CULTIVATOR 



to keep your Orchard 

 in Perfect Condition 



\m 



THE first thing in the spring, as soon as the 

 ground is dry enough, it should be well 

 plowed or disced both ways, or diagonally 

 if the trees are planted in that manner. 



The rest of the season nothing is needed 

 but the KIMBALL, which should be run over 

 the ground at least twice each month during 

 the summer, or as soon as the ground is dry 

 enough after a hard rain, or after irrigation. 

 This will break up the crust and stop evap- 

 oration, for when the soil bakes and opens in 

 cracks is the time of the greatest evaporation. 

 More cultivation and less irrigation will 

 produce better fruit, and it will keep longer 

 than where too much water is used. 



It is now for fruit gi-owers to be thinking of how they can keep their orchards in good shape at the least possible 

 expense. 



For this work there is nothing that will equal the Kimball Cultivator. 



While we know the fruit market is bad, we also know it will not always be in this condition, and the grower who neglects 

 to cultivate his orchard at this time will lose the years of labor he has already put in on it, for an orchard that is not culti- 

 vated is soon a total loss. 



Therefore get a Kimball and continue the good work.
