Easy as Roller 

 Bearings 



There's 



an Axle 



lubricant 



so full of 



slip, and go, 



and smoothness, 



that it takes the 



place of roller 



bearings for all 



kinds of horse drawn 



vehicles. It's 



MICA 



AXLE 

 GREASE 



And a trial of it means constant use ever after. 

 Mica Axle Grease ivon't make an empty wagon 

 push a horse up hill; but it ivill make a big loaci 

 draw no end of per cent easier. 



It's a friction killer and a horse saver; and it 

 wears so well that it's hard to remember the date of 

 last greasing. 



Ask your dealer for Mica Axle Grease and 

 try it.

PUP': Hedge Plants

To have satisfactory Hedges with a mini- 

 fy mum of effort, you should start with Hedge 

 jsT Plants Gr&wn for Hedges. Plants properly 

 grown for this purpose will be bushy and low- 

 .^iSg; y;'j'/ branched— a form to be had only by correct 

 pruning in the nursery. When plants have not 

 ;-y" been so grown and pruned they must be cut back 

 y.i'jf close to the ground and practically started over 

 "iiW again to secure the right effect.
