A Model Dairy Barn in Missouri 



Mr. American Farmer : The picture before you is that 

 of the Maplewood Dairy, at Pleasant Hill, Mo., the 

 modern establishment owned by Mr. George M. Kellogg. 

 In this big country of ours hundreds of other farm build- 

 ings, just as handsome as Maplewood, are covered with 



Carey's ™ Roofing 



It makes the only TIME-PROOF roof — the roof of everlasting life and elasticity. 

 Fire brands, heat, cold, moisture, wind or storm do not affect it in the least. A Carey 

 roof will not rot, rust, melt, brpak nor blew off . 



Carey's Roofing is unequaled for NEW buildings and adds life to OLD structures. 

 It is adapted to flat or steep surfaces, is easily laid and may be applied over old shingle 

 or metal roofs without expense of removal. 



Carey's Roofing is composed of our superior grade of woolen felt, our highly tem- 

 pered asphalt cement and strong burlap. It is put up in rolls sufficient to cover too 

 square feet. Our patent lap covers and protects nail heads and insures a neat, perfectly 

 moisture-proof, lasting union of sheet to sheet and Roofing to roof-board.

Wittbold Watering System 



FOR GARDENS, LAWNS, 

 GREENHOUSES, Etc. 



The above cut shows the Wittbold System in operation in a Chicago gentleman's vege- 

 table garden. The garden is 40 x 65 ft. and the turning of two faucets covers the entire 

 ground as if by natural rain. It is an ideal arrangement for an irrigation system in connec- 

 tion with a garden where overhead watering is desirable. 



What it is and how it works. It consists of pipes and nozzles so arranged mat a 

 CONTINUOUS SHEET OF WATER the full length of the line can be supplied, and, 

 by the use of a swivel wheel attached to end of system, can be directed to the opposite side 

 of pipe, thereby permitting the watering of double the amount of surface. The nozzles make 

 a fan-shaped spray, producing a natural rain easily taken up by the ground. 



To give this system a trial, order a swivel wheel and twenty Y% inch nozzles which 

 will cost $5.00. This will be enough for 100 feet of pipe and will cover 3,000 square feet of 

 surface by spacing nozzles 5 feet apart on pipe. These nozzles can with high pressure be 

 spaced as far as 20 feet apart but will do quicker work when spaced closer. We do not 

 quote prices on pipe, as your local plumber can supply that part of the system and, if desired, 

 can erect same.
