 LOWS: 



"When I placed an order with your agent for some of the Dor- 

 mant Sod Brand Pulverized Sheep Manure I made an arrangement 

 with him whereby I should try a small sample before taking the 

 entile shipment, as I had never used any of this fertilizer before. I 

 wish to inform you that I have used this sample on new planted 

 lettuce in my greenhouses and I can say that it is the best fertilizer 

 I hive ever gotten hold of. I commenced to see the benefit of a 

 little sprinkling of it soon after planting, and shall make use of my 

 full order in the near future. " 



Price $4.00 per large barrel full Pulverized Sheep 

 Manure ; equal in fertilizing strength to two wagon 

 loads of barnyard manure. Delivered to any point in 

 the United States (east of Denver) freight prepaid. 

 Special prices on larger quantities. Write for booklet.

An Interesting Fact About Lighting 



Did you ever stop to think why from one to a dozen kerosene (or coal oil) lamps 

 are used in practically every home in the United States — not only in the country dis- 

 tricts where gas or electric light systems don't reach, but in the cities as well. 



Take your own case, for instance. You may consider the ordinary lamp a 

 smoky, smelly nuisance ; you may be using gas or electricity because of their con- 

 venience (or wish you could), yet we venture to state that the first thing you do 

 when you sit down for a pleasant evening at home is to light up that good old 



kerosene lamp. 



With all its faults, you stick to the oil lamp light 

 because you simply can't replace it. For neither 

 gas, electricity, gasolene, acetylene, nor any other 

 illuminant has yet been invented which can begin 

 to compare with common kerosene in soft, rich, 

 restful brilliancy of light or in small cost to burn — 

 two of the three most important features of any 

 lighting method. That's a fact; isn't it? 



Now we want to tell you about a lamp that 

 supplies also the third feature — convenience. 

 We want to send you our catalog " 41," which 

 tells why 



Ihe ANGLE LAMP 



combines kerosene light and kerosene economy 

 with the convenience of gas and electricity, 

 which explains how, by employing an entirely 

 new principle of burning oil, all the smoke, odor and bother of ordinary lamps has been so completely done 

 away with, that such people as Ex-Pres. Cleveland, the Rockefellers, Carnegies, Cookes, etc. — people who 

 would not think of using ordinary lamps — have chosen THIS oil-burning lamp in preference to gas, elec- 

 tricity, gasolene, acetylene, or any other system for lighting their homes and estates. And when you have 

 read this catalog and found that it describes exactly the lighting method which for years you have been 

 seeking, we offer to prove our statement by sending any lamp you select on 30 DAYS' TRIAL. 



If you are interested in SATISFACTORY ILLUMINATION— and by "satisfactory illumination " we mean not 

 merely one that gives a brilliant light but one that combines brilliancy with soft, rich, restful quality, that is con- 

 venient as gas, safe as a candle, and yet more economical than even the troublesome old-style lamp. If you are 

 interested in that kind of satisfactory illumination, write for catalog "41 "at once.
