 waste going to town or to neighboring farms, on 

 errands that could be done over a phone? You 

 need extra hands ; or information from town ; or

 could be attended to with a phone, but there isn't 

 any phone, you say. Then why not let us show 

 you how you can make generous profits by 

 organizinga farmer's telephone line, and also 

 tell you how to organize, to build and to ope- 

 rate it ? We tell you all this in our interesting 

 FRE E Booklet 22 V. Write for it. Address

 that won't wear out 



A can that meets the biff-bang of the ashman 

 without turning a rivet or showing a dent. 



WITT'S ! 



Other ash-cans are soldered; they dent, split 

 open at the seams — show the hard life they lead 

 a little more every week. 



WITT'S won't. 



It's got a corrugated one-piece steel body. 

 It's so flanged, riveted, steel banded, that it 

 can't split. 



One man writes us he's used his Witt's Can 

 constantly for eight years and it's good as new. 



And the neat way it takes care of ashes — with- 

 out any dust or danger of FIRE — is wonderful. 



Witt's Can is made in Ohio. You can get it anywhere 

 in the United States. Known by the yellow label Witt's. 



If YOUR dealer hasn't Witt's don't waste time over 

 imitations. Send to us for Witt's. If you don't like it 

 we'll pay return charges and refund your money.

PLANT BULBS NOW 



The Wild Garden is the most important development of floriculture in 

 recent years. Garden effects are produced from unused and apparently 

 worthless ground. A lawn filled with crocuses or a woodland spot, 

 bright with golden daffodils, affords a suggestion of what can be done 

 along this line. We make special offers of bulbs suitable for this work.

 You wouldn't believe a comfort could 

 make such a difference in your night's
