White Sweet Clover Seed 



Sweet Clover is rapidly becoming one of the most useful things that can be 

 grown on the farm. Its value as a honey-plant is well known to bee-keepers, but 

 its worth as a forage-plant and also as an enricher of the soil are not so widely 

 known. However, Sweet Clover is coming to the front very fast these days. 

 Some years ago it was considered as a weed by those who knew no better. The 

 former attitude of the enlightened farmer today is changing to a great respect 

 for and appreciation of Sweet Clover, both as a food for stock and as a valuable 

 fertilizer for poor and worn-out soils. 



The seed can be sown any time. From 18 to 20 pounds per acre of the un- 

 hulled seed is about the right quantity to sow. 



We can ship promptly at the following prices for the white variety: 



Postpaid, one pound for 30 cents, or 2 pounds for 50 cents. By express 

 f. o. b. Chicago— 5 pounds for 8ilc; 10 pounds for $1.50; 25 pounds for $3.50; 50 

 pounds for $6. oil; or 100 pounds for $12.00. 



If wanted by freight, it will be necessary to add 25 cents more for cartage 

 to the above prices on each order.

The Superior 



WRENCH 



A Necessity on Every 



Farm and in Every 



Household 



The Superior Wrench will immediately 

 grip and hold any nut. pipe or bolt, no mat- 

 ter what the shape, conditioner size, up to 

 its full opening capacity. 



This wrench is always ready, and needs 

 no adjustment for any size or shape what- 

 ever. You can readily understand its work- 

 ing principle from the illustration. 



USE IT on badly disfigured nuts, corner 

 all off. and where nothing but a cold-chisel 

 and hammer have been effective heretofore; 

 the Superior Wrench is the best, and wilt 

 take off or tighten up any nut in such condi- 

 tion, and do it quickly. 



As a P'arm Wrench the Superior Wrench 

 has no equal. It will grip any nut or bolt on 

 the binder, mowing machine, or any piece 



of farm machinery, and something the 

 farmer will appreciate isthis. Oid you ever 

 find a bolt that persisted in turning when 

 you were trying to remove a nut '■* l"ry the 

 Superior Wrench on it. It will hold it every 

 time. 



In operating this wrench it is not neces- 

 sary to use both hands. If you do use both 

 hands, place one on the heel of the loose jaw 

 and not on the point. By simply setting the 

 loose jaw up against the nut or pipe you wish 

 to grip, drawing the handle to you, the 

 wrench takes hold, and the harder you pull 

 the lighter it grips. 



The Superior Wrench is one of the most 

 convenient HOUSEHOLD TOOLS you 

 have ever seen. A woman can use it, and 

 she does use it in many ways. 



We mail theSuperior Wrench for 70 cents: 

 or with the American Bee .lournal for one 

 year— both for only $1,511. Or. we will mail it 

 free as a premium for sending us two new 

 subscribers for the American Bee Journal 

 for one year with $2.00 to pay for same. Ad- 

 dress.
