Easy Gardening 
PRACTICAL, highly productive gardens are surpris- 
ingly easy with proper tools. The old-fashioned garden 
laid out in beds, planted on hands and knees, cultivated 
with a hand hoe, and weeded with the fingers, is a thing 
of the past. Now the home gardener follows the example 
of the market gardener, laying the garden out in long 
rows, planting and cultivating it with wheel tools like 
the one shown here. 
IRON AGE 
GARDEN TOOLS enable you to step right out in your 
own yard and raise, as a pleasant pastime, fresh, delicious 
peas, tender corn, cucumbers, crisp lettuce, succulent 
beans, and beautiful flowers, all from your own plants 
throughout the Spring, Summer and Fall. 
IRON AGE Garden Tools are made in many styles. 
There are hill and drill seeders that sow seed with remark- 
able accuracy, either in hills or drills, furrowing, planting, 
covering, packing the soil, and marking the next row all in 
one operation. There are single and double wheel hoes that 
make furrows, ridge, cultivate, hoe and rake, keeping the 
soil in the well-mulched condition necessary for success.

All the Advantages of a City 
Water System for 2c a Day 
T WO Cents a day is all that it costs to operate a Deming 
electric-driven “Marvel”. It delivers ample water for 
a gleaming white bath-room, a convenient kitchen sink and 
handy, labor-saving laundry trays. A turn of the fresh- 
water faucet, and the pump automatically goes into action 
to bring you cold drinking water fresh from the well. It is 
self-operating in every way. 
And the low operating cost is rivaled by the low price of 
the outfit whether built for operation by electric motor or 
gasoline engine. The butter and egg money of the average 
farm will pay for a Deming Marvel in no timel 
Write us for prices and catalogues. If brief statement of conditions 
accompanies request, we will recommend the best system for your par- 
ticular needs, furnish prices and estimate as to the cost of installation.
