You can increase 

 the value of 

 your property 



and at the same time save money by dig- 

 ging your irrigating ditches with a Vul- 

 can Steam Shovel. It's a mighty small 

 piece of work where a Vulcan Shovel will 

 not sare the price of itself. We don't ask 

 you to take our word for it, but we do ask 

 you to let us send you the proof. 



Vulcan Steam Shovels are built in 10 

 standard sizes from 22 to 110 tons in 

 weight, and f to 5 cubic yard dipper. 



When writing, give full description of 

 your work.

THE "X T" VALVE. 



The "K T" valve is used to regulate the flow of water 

 from cement or vitrified pipe lines. Each stand pipe on the 

 headline operates as an independent hydrant. The valve sys- 

 tm overcomes the difficulties encountered in irrigating uneven 

 or hillside land. By using the "K T" valve all of the water 

 may be allowed to flow from one standpipe or a little simul- 

 taneously from a great number of standplpes. The "K T" 

 valve is mechanically perfect. The working parts are made 

 of non-corrosive material. Swivel gate prevents sticking. 

 The use of the "K T" valve means economy, as it prevents 

 the waste of water and lessens labor. Prices upon application.

ARE "OTTO" ENGINES 

 DEPENDABLE? 



Gentlemen:- 



As you will 



doubtless remember, 

 two years ago last fall 

 we installed one of 

 vour 21 HP. "Otto" 

 Gasoline engines, and 

 ran the samel 03 days 

 and nights without 

 stopping. One year 

 ago water was high 

 and the engine was 

 not run. Last fall wat- 

 er was af ain too low to enter our intake, and the engine and 

 pump were started on November 2, 1906. and have run con- 

 tinuously for 3523 hours. 



Is not this a good record ? 



Yours truly,

BALL-BEARING LAWN MOWER 



Finished in lustrous and lasting bicycle enamel, baked 



on in steam ovens, the body of the mower a rich olive ' 



the Wheels in Stearns Orange, the under side of each 



cylinder knife also in orange; handsomely striped. The 



most attractive color scheme ever used on a lawn mower. 



The advantages of ball-bearings are well understood. 



There is the same reason for their use on a lawn mower 



as there is on a bicycle, to make it run easy. 



On its accurate ball-bearings the cylinder of the Stearns 



Mower revolves at high speed with the free movement 



of a bicycle wheel. 



Every part is made on the interchangeable plan. 



All oil holes and adjusting screws are easily reached from the upper 



side. The roller adjustment is simple. 



The knife steel is the finest ever used on lawn mowers. . 



Can be adjusted to cut as close as three-eighths of an inch. 



Dust proof, hardened and ground bearings. Patent ball retaineis. 



10-inch wheels.
