It raises a high degree of 

 heat quickly and maintains 

 it uniformly. 



A checked or low fire, or a 

 tire that has jusc been start- 

 ed, produces heat by the va- 

 por which arises from the 

 "simmering" water. 



The degree of heat re- 

 quired is regulated by the 

 adjustment of an automatic 

 damper control. 



It is absolutely water-tight, 

 the steam dome being in one 

 piece and connected with the 

 boiler section by threaded 

 nipples. The process of 

 erection presents no mechan- 

 ical difficulties whatsoever.

food. Give the soft food whenever most 

 convenient. Many breeders give it the first 

 meal of the day, others at noon and other.s 

 again, at night. There are arguments in 

 favor of each method, so that, as far as now 

 Isnown, it is best to let convenience decide 

 the point. Wheat and oats make a good 

 grain ration — half of each. To this may be 

 added a small quantity of whole corn, say 

 one part to ten of wheat and oats. If white 

 birds are kept and are used for exhibition 

 do not add corn — it makes the plumage 

 creamy. The soft feed may be made up of 

 five parts bran, four parts whole grain pro- 

 vender and one part corn-meal, but omit 

 the corn-meal if white birds are kept. This 

 covers the main feeding. In addition, there 

 should be in each pen, hoppers or boxes 

 containing grit and oyster-shell. Cabbages, 

 mangels, beets, or other green food should 

 be fed in reasonable quantities. 



For stimulating ttie egg supply green 

 bone may be given three times a week. Fted 

 this very lightly. If it is not convenient to 

 feed green bone, use beef scraps or meat- 

 meal. This may be mixed in the soft food, 

 say about a tablespoonful to each fifteen 

 fowl. It is far better to feed too little of 

 either green bone or meat-meal than too 

 much. 



Mention should have been made at the 

 beginning of this article that the floor 

 should be covered with litter of any kind 



such as chaff, forest leaves, or other light, 

 dry material to the depth of three of four 

 inches, into which all grain should be 

 thrown to give the layer'i necessary 

 exercise.

says Mr. R. Nag!e, of Mount Brydges, Ont. 

 aboul our Corrugated Sheet Roofing. He 

 adds : "I think it is as near perfection as 

 anything I ever saw." 



Our "Acorn Quality" Corrugated 

 Sheet Rooting and Siding makes an 

 absolutely lightning-proof /barn con- 

 struction, besides being quickly put 

 on. Our Galvanized Sheets show 

 no signs of wear, even on our earli- 

 est work years ago. Such Roofing 

 prevents all moistureor dampness.

YOU SHOULD KNOW 



tbe STRONG FEATURES of \ 

 Ifl e MANURE SPREADERS r^ 



T' 



HEY are great money-making machines. 



if you will do a little figuring you will 

 see that you could make no wiser investment. 



An I. H. C. spreader will make manure go twice as far. 

 That is proven by every user. The immediate benefit to the 

 crop is greater and so is the permanent benefit to the land. 



If you have manure to the value of $100 a year when 

 spread by hand, it will be worth at least $200 when spread 

 with an 1. H. C. spreader. 



That gain will very nearly pay for your spreader. 



That is only one year's gain. Your I. H. C. spreader is 

 good for many years. It will put the $100 of extra fertihty 

 into your soil every year. 



The fertility of your land is brought up and maintained 

 because the machine does the work so much better and makes 

 the manure go so much further than when spread by hand. 



Can you make a better investment? 



Any I. H. C. spreader will be a money-maker for you. 



Made in three styles: 



"Cloverleaf" — Endless Apron Spreader 



"Corn King" — Return Apron Spreader 



"Kemp 20th Century"— Return Apron Spreader 



They are all strong, durable machines, easily handled, 

 light in draft. You are losing money every year by not get- 

 ting all the value out of your manure pile. 



An I. H. C. spreader will stop this loss. 



Take the matter up with the Internatlonaf local agent who 

 handles any of these lines and see about buying a spreader. He 

 will supply you with catalogs and all particulars. Or if you prefer, 

 write direct to nearest branch house.
