After you see this, address me, 

 Fla., instead of Medina, O. 



ndividually , at Bradentown, 



an aermotor or gasoline-engine for pumping water 



— WHICH ? 



I have spent some time in looking over the agricultural papers 

 with the view of deciding whether I should pump with a wind- 

 mill or a cheap engine for our one acre of land in Bradentown, 

 Fla. The windmill is certainly the cheaper of the two, and it 

 does not require any outlay for gasoline. But there are two ob- 

 jections: First, with the windmill you must have a reservoir to 

 hold water to be used when the wind does not blow. This may 

 cost as much as the windmill, or even more. Second, even in 

 Florida we sometimes have several days with but little wind 

 when we might need it badly and could not get it. This little 

 engine will, however, give youan even steady stream just as long 

 as you want it, and no longer, so there is no particular need ol 

 having a reservoir; and with such a rig it makes no difference 

 whether the wind blows or not. In fact, it is very desirable 

 many times to water your stuff just about sundown, and perhaps 

 after dark; and that is the time when the wind is especially lia- 

 ble to " die down." Well, while I was considering all of these 

 questions I happened to notice a pretty little advertisement on p. 

 1396 of our last issue. Just as soon as my eye caught a glimpse 

 of the picture I wanted to swing my hat, and the price of the lit- 

 tle engine is only $37.50. I wish to congratulate the Aermotor 

 folks on having hit upon such a neat device to " back up " the 

 wind. __^ 



sweet-clover seed. 



We have on hand a good stock of choice sweet-clover seed, 

 both white and yellow. Of the white we have both unhulled 

 and hulled seed, and of the yellow we have at present about 260 

 pounds hulled, and have engaged a lot of unhulled yellow, 

 which is expected to arrive soon. It is usually difficult to supply 

 the entire demand for unhulled, white and yellow, and we sug- 

 gest immediate orders, to be sure of getting some of our present 

 stock. Prices are as follows: 



In lots of 1 lb. 



Unhulled white, per lb., $ .15 

 Hulled white, per lb., .22 



Unhulled yellow, per lb., .18 



Hulled yellow, per lb., .25 



If sent by mail, add 8 cents per lb. for postage 

 sweet clover sent with each lot of seed if requested.
