RAIN MACHINES. 



Very few people have a correct idea of furnishing the proper quantity of water for 

 crops. 



By May ist we expect to have the photographs ready of the rain machines, which 

 will supply the right amount of water wherever used. Every boy and girl should learn 

 to operate them. With the photographs of these machines goes the instructions for their 

 use. 



With these will be given the photograph of the home of good old John Brown, 

 whose "soul goes marching on." Also, the photograph of the historic "Brady's Leap," 

 and the place where the brave Indian fighter hid under the trunk of a fallen tree (in 

 what has now become the celebrated "Brady's lake") while the red-skins stood on the 

 trunk of the same tree and discussed as to his whereabouts. This will be prepared 

 especially for young people and will be put up in neat booklet form. Price, 10 cents. 



In this booklet, also, will be published the best-known formulas to be used in 

 spraying trees, washes to destroy bugs, scales or bark-lice, etc. Also, you will be instructed 

 how to prevent potatoes from "running out." The book will be called "Davey's Rain- 

 Maker." It will be sent by mail, postage paid.

THE TREE DOCTOR 



Has been kept within the limits of ONE DOLLAR, so that those of moderate means 

 may be able to procure it. All the practical points on tree-planting, tree-surgery, land- 

 scaping and floriculture, by the aid of the camera, are given in less than one hundred 

 pages, and "peach-yellows," "pear-blight" and all those maladies commonly called 

 " blight " are traced to their source. 



You probably have a friend who would be benefited by this work. You might bless 

 him by sending him a copy. 



Always purchase of the agent if he is around. If not, send one dollar to JOHN 

 DAVEY, KENT, OHIO, and the " Tree Doctor'" will be mailed to you, postage paid.
