^T^i^lNG REQUIRES 4iy 



EFFICIENT POWER 



The thoroughness with which you may spray depends largely on ihe power. 

 Prepare for doing the work right by securing an outfit with an 



I. H. Co. Gasoline Engine 



Applying the spray mixture with little force cannot be effective. 

 International Harvester Company Famous spraying outfits furnish all the power you 

 want. They drive the spray mixture into the covered and hidden places. The force 

 brings the poison home to leaf rollers, the codlin moth, plant lice, and other parasites, 

 so that when you have finished spraying, you have really accomplished something. 



Famous spraying outfits include a number of different styles. There are powerful 

 2-horse power vertical engines, both water cooled and air cooled, mounted with force 

 pumps on skids; small i-horse power air cooled engines with pump and spray tank 

 mounted on four-wheel truck; or engine and pump mounted together on platform only, etc. 

 If you prefer, you may buy the engine and mounting and then connect to it any 

 one of several makes of spraying pumps for which the pump connections are arranged. 

 I. H. C. engines can be used with all makes of pumps. 



If interested in spraying, look into the I. H. C. engine and the efficient Famous 

 spraying outfits. 



You can buy a Famous spraying outfit and use it during the sptaying 



season, and during the remainder of the year your engine can be used for 



general farm purposes for operating many of the small machines — grinder, 



fanning mill, bone cutter, shelter, churn, separator, washing 



machine, etc. The I. H. C. line includes, besides spraying engines, 



many other styles and sizes, as follow: 



Stationary Engines, from 2 to 25 -horse -power 

 Portable Engines, from 2 to 20 - horse - power 

 Skidded Engines, from 1 to 8 -horse-power 

 Tractors, 12, 15, and 20 - horse - power 

 Sawing and Pumping outfits.

When You Rent a House 



or an apartment see what clothes drying arrangements 

 are provided. It is just as important to have a Hill 

 Clothes Dryer, as set tubs in the laundry or any other 

 " modern convenience." 



Or if you own your home, so much more reason 

 why you should make this small investment that 

 means such a vast convenience one day out of every 

 week. The 



HILL CLOTHES DRYER 



FOR LAWN, BALCONY OR ROOF 



is a rotary clothes line with 100 to 150 feet of line, every foot of which can be reached by standing 

 in one spot. Put up or taken down in an instant. 



No lawns disfigured with posts and poles and worn out grass. No tramping through damp 

 grass or mud or snow. No re-washing clothes that have trailed in the mud.

 unsightly pulley lines. Insist on your landlord getting one.
