An I H C Manure Spreader 

 Saves Valuable Fertilizer 



THE farms of Europe have been worked for centuries, yet the average 

 production of wheat from those farms is nearly 30 bushels per acre; 

 more than double the average yield of American farms. What is the 

 reason for this tremendous difference? 



The reason is that European farmers know the value of stable manure 

 as a fertilizer. The average European soil is not as fertile as the average 

 American land, but the European grows heavier crops because the fertility 

 of the soil is kept up constantly by the liberal use of stable manure. 



While there is not so much stable manure in this country, what there is 

 can be used to far greater advantage when an I H C manure spreader is 

 used to distribute it. 



I H C Manure Spreaders 

 Corn King, Cloverleaf 



make one ton of manure go as far as two tons spread by hand. By pulver 

 izing the manure and spreading it in an even coat, light or heavy as may be 

 needed, all over the land, they insure a perfect combination of tne plant 

 food elements with the soil. There is no over fertilizing in spots, to 

 produce an uneven stand of grain. Each square foot of ground gets the 

 same treatment. 



The superior mechanical construction of I H C spreaders is the reason 

 for their effectiveness. They solve every problem of correct spreading. 

 Light draft is secured by the proper construction of wheels and correct 

 principles of gearing. When I H C spreaders are thrown in and out of 

 gear the beater drive chain IS not shifted. 



The advantages of this construction are: Positive traction — the chain 

 engages nearly half the teeth on large sprockets instead of only a few; chain 

 worn on one side only instead of on botji sides as in other constructions; 

 simple, effective chain tightener instead of a complicated, troublesome one. 

 These all add to the durability of the spreader. 



I H C spreaders have no reach. They do not need one. 

 Because of this feature an I H C spreader can be turned in 

 its own length, a great convenience at any time. 1 H C 

 spreaders have many other advantages which the I H C 

 local dealer will explain to you. See him and get catalogues 

 and lull information, or if you prefer, write
