BUG INSURANCE 
Why not “Bug Insur.ince”? Not necessarily a guarantee against 
bug attacks but a guarantee against any serious results of those 
bug attacks. Every market gardener, every trucker who grows 
vegetables has to guard against attacks by various kinds of bugs, 
and the same thing is true of home gardens. Why not insure your 
crops against serious bug damage? 
Bugs that feed on your plants and trees are of two kinds. There 
are “biting insects” that chew or eat the foliage and stems and 
there are “sucking insects” that suck the juices from the plants 
until they wither and die. To kill insects, therefore, we must have 
two kinds of insecticides: a stomach poison for the biting insect 
and a contact poison for the sucking insects to rub against. Here 
we list Bug Death and Stonecypher’s which are effective against 
biting insects. Also Ave have Bug Death Aphis, Tobacco Dust and 
Whale Oil Soap with Tobacco which kill sucking insects. All these 
except Stonecypher's can be sent by mail. 
rvpATIJ Bug Death kills the bugs and at the same 
• " time does not injure the plant or its regu- 
lar growth as does Paris Green, London Purple, Arsenate of Lead 
or the dozen or more forms of arsenical poisons that are offered 
as “bug-killers”. Instead of Bug Death killing or injuring the 
plants (when applied right) it actually acts as a fertilizer in small 
degree. Do you know of any other insecticide of which this is true? 
Bug Death is the only general insecticide known that is effective 
on bugs and is at the same time harmless to both plants and ani- 
mals. It’s sure death to leaf-eating bugs and it does not “burn” 
the plants like Paris Green and other arsenical poisons. 
Keep “Bug Death” on hand and when Mr. and Mrs. Bug settle 
on your premises to raise a family you can easily turn this into a 
“bug funeral” instead of leaving the way open for a large and able 
bodied increase in bug population in your garden. Order it now.

Stonecypher’s 
Potato Bug Killer 
This stomach poison will kill 
all leaf-eating insects. Bugs are 
often disastrous to Irish Pota- 
toes, Squash, Cucumbers, Canta- 
loupes and Tomatoes and for use 
in the home garden as well as 
for truck gardens we recommend 
Stonecypher’s Potato Bug Killer 
to kill these bugs. 
This insecticide is stronger and more effective than Bug Death 
and it does not injure even the tender plants unless applied too 
thickly. 
It is in powder form and comes in a cylinder shaker box or can, 
so is very handy and convenient to use. No duster, sifter or pump 
is needed as the shaker top of the container makes a duster of it. 
You want to be sure of results when you start fighting bugs and 
you should always keep a plentiful supply of a good, reliable in- 
secticide on hand. Stonecypher’s is sure death to all biting or leaf- 
eating insects, costs little and is easily applied. Order it by the 
dozen cans or packages so as to have a plenty on hand for instant 
use. It is guaranteed to kill Irish Potato Bug or Beetle or 
money will be gladly refunded. 
PRICES ON STONECYPHER’S POTATO BUG KILLER— -By 
express, not prepaid, $3.00 per dozen cans. (Remember, Stone- 
cypher’s is real Bug Insurance and it does its work thoroughly. 
It doesn’t run bugs away. It kills the bugs.) 
Stonecypher’s is an arsenical poison and so cannot be sent by 
mail but it is continually needed wherever there are bugs. Order 
a dozen cans by express to keep on hand or with your neighbors. 
This is the cheapest wholesale price, what the dealer pays, and we 
shall be glad to furnish dealers as well as all our customers at this 
same price.

bone, ashes or fertilizers. A Cyclone will pay for itself in three or 
four hours’ work. It gives absolutely even distribution and so will 
make three bushels do the work of four. It has a special slope feed 
board, a very important feature found only in the Cyclone, which 
keeps the hopper properly filled without tilting the machine, in- 
suring a uniform flow and affords a great convenience to the oper- 
ator in carrying the seeder. It also has an automatic feed adjust- 
ment, giving a positive force feed throughout; quickly adjusted, 
started or stopped and can’t clog — no waste of seed. The distrib- 
uting wheel is strong and rigid, made of metal with no soldered 
joints. Everyone needs a hand seeder. Price, $3.00; postpaid.
