The rapid increase in the use of lime demands a machine 

 to apply these materials which is moderate in cost and accu- 

 rate in its distribution. 



This distributer is designed for broadcasting lime and 

 ashes, and it will distribute in drills or rows when supplied 

 with an extra feed plate especially punched according to the 

 width of the row. 



The amount of lime this machine will sow to the acre 

 depends somewhat on its weight per. bushel, as well as its 

 condition, but the 13 notches of feed opening average U>S 

 spread from 250 lbs. per acre at the lowest notch to 3550 > 

 lbs. at the highest notch. 



Special features make this distributer lead all machines 

 of its kind and work where others fail. 



The Agitator, or beater, in bottom of the hopper revolves 

 only when the load is being spread. It does not turn con- 

 stantly. 



Revolving: Prong's with 3%-inch spaces placed directly 

 over the feed openings make a forced feed that is most 

 satisfactory. 



The Peed Plate is of short sections of cast iron, and the 



of steel, separated from 



slide plate directly beneath it 

 the feed plate by liners. 



Hand Shaker (at the driver's right hand) is used only w,hen 

 lime is damp or does not fall freely into the agitator. It 

 helps even spreading, which is a great feature. 

 The Shaker Board hangs from the bottom of the hopper, and is controlled by a cnain, holding it at any desired angle and 

 broadcasting the lime evenly. 



The Wind Break hangs from the shaker board, free to swing in any direction if an obstruction is met, and prevents w-ihd 

 sweeping under the machine and carrying the lime away. 



NEW IDEA MANURE SPREADER 



The New Idea Spreader is built like a wagon with reach pole gear, and has a solid bottom to 

 body, making it stronger and lighter draft than others. There is no heavy bottom to return, and 

 the whole machine is under control of two levers: one to regulate the number of loads per acre; the 

 other to throw the machine in and out of gear. After the 

 feed regulating lever is set, the operator has only the one 

 lever to attend to. This is a point for thinking farmers. 

 Front wheels turn under the body up to the reach 

 pole, making it a short-turn machine. This is an- 

 other valuable feature. 



The New Idea Spreader is very simple. It has a 

 straight all-chain drive. The pull is direct from the 

 axle sprocket to the cylinder sprocket. There are 

 no clutches nor cogs to wear out or break. This 

 feature will appeal to every farmer who has used aj 

 Manure Spreader. 



It pulverizes the manure thoroughly, and dis- 

 tributes the same evenly and in a wide stream.

THE BALTIMORE LIME AND ASH SPREADER 



, A strong and substantial machine, with spreading capacity 

 of from 15 to 80 bushels to the acre. Quantity can be regu- 

 lated at will of the operator. Wheels are 4% feet high, lias 

 six feeds and will spread 7% feet wide. Box or hopper is fitted 1 

 with powerful agitator, which breaks any- arch formed by lime, 

 a,sh or commercial fertilizer. Lime is fed out on a distributing 

 board or shaker, which can be set at different elevations, and 

 this, in vibrating, distributes the lime evenly and regularly. 

 The lime falls but a few inches. Thus avoiding du.^t to either 



driver or horses. If the wind is very strong an apron can be 

 tacked, if desired, in front of the hopper. Ordinary lumps 

 going through the attachment sieve will not interfere with 

 the sowing; also furnish an extra cap and large wheel, where- 

 by fertilizers of every description and plaster can be sown in 

 quantities as low as 300 pounds per acre, and, if coarse, 250 

 pounds per acre. Hopper holds 18 bushels slaked lime.
