The rapid increase in the use of lime and commercial fer- 

 tilizer demands a machine to apply these materials which is 

 moderate in cost and accurate in its distribution. 



This distributer is designed for broadcasting lime, ashes 

 and commercial fertilizer, 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 fertilizer 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 to 

 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 1 Prong's with 3 1 A-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 

 slide plate directly beneath it is of steel, separated from 

 the feed plate hy liners. > 



Hand Shaker (at the driver's right hand) is used only when 

 fertilizer 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 chain, holding it at any desired angle and 



broadcasting the fertilizer evenly. 



The Wind Break hangs from the shaker board, free to swing in any 

 sweeping under the machine and carrying the fertilizer 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 a 

 Manure Spreader. 



It pulverizes the manure thoroughly, and dis- 

 tributes the same evenly and in a wide stream.
