THE IRRIGATION AGE. 



DRYLAND DREDGING 



DRY LAND dredging is one of the newer indus- 

 tries that is developing rapidly. Oil and gas 

 engines are the motive powers most generally used 

 for this work. The steam engine on this class of 

 work has proven successful from a financial stand- 

 point, but the great weight of the outfit, together with 

 the extreme difficulties of supplying it with water and

fuel, have made it prohibitive in some parts of the 

 country. 



The dry land dredges are regular dirt-eaters. 

 A one-half yard machine will shovel from 409 ^ 600 

 yards of dirt in 10 hours. The machine's operation is 

 similar to that of a steam shovel. 



The work is very hard on an engine, because of 

 the sudden variation from no load to overload. In 

 dropping the empty bucket, there is practically no load. 



When the bucket is being loaded, an overload is 

 thrown on the engine, yet the engine must hold onto 

 its load until the bucket is lifted, swung around and 

 emptied. 



SEEKS EXPORT TRADE 



A SPECIAL bed for camp and all outdoor use, 

 that is a clever and practical idea, is being of- 

 fered to the export trade by the Enterprise Bed Co., 

 of Hammond, Ind. It is both a tent and a cot, built 



in such a man- 

 ner that it folds

 compact pack-

 easily picked 

 up and carried, 

 and yet opens 

 up into a full-

The "Enterprise" Tent Cot, Set Up and Folded, fortable bed. 



It is just 



the thing for hunting, fishing, or lor any form of 

 camp use, and is ideal for convalescents or anyone 

 afflicted with lung trouble, as it enables the occu- 

 pant to sleep out the year round. 



The frame of the cot is made of very strong 

 maple, and the canvas top or tent is of especially 

 treated canvas, that is made waterproof by a spe- 

 cial process, which has been perfected after years 

 of experimenting. The end and side openings of 

 this cot are all fitted with both storm curtains and 

 heavy mosquito netting, that can be adjusted by 

 the occupant from his position inside the cot. 



HULL YOUR SEED QUICKLY, PERFECTLY and ECONOMICALLY With a 

 "MATCHLESS" CLOVER and ALFALFA HULLER 



That's just what you will do if you use a "Matchless" Huller on the job. It's trie one huller that will hull all the Clover or Alfalfa you 

 can get to it without sacrificing the quality of the work. Here's the reason! We use square steel brads in our hulling cylinder. This construction 

 has every advantage over rasps of spikes, because no set of spikes will knock the seed out of the damp pods Rasps gum up and are easily destroyed. 

 Our system of separation is unique and effective. This consists of a series of rotating troughs with perfoiation in the bottom, with provision for 

 adjustment to meet the various conditions of clover. The Patented Steel Scrapers attached to .the bottom of these troughs thoroughly scrape the 

 separator bottom and insure a steady and positive delivery of the pods to the hulling cylinder, regaidless of the condition of the clover. This con- 

 struction enables you to hull seed under conditions in which no other huller can operate; enables you to hull earlier in the morning and later in the 

 evening than with any other this insures a longer day, thus increasing your earning power. Give us an opportunity to piove to you right 

 on your own farm that the "Matchless" is the speediest and cleanest huller on t,ie market. WRITE FOR CATALOG TODAY, or call at our nearest
