Every Farmer can prepare his own Fertilizer with an ordinary 
Horse Power, by using 
FORSTER’S COMBINED CRUSHER & PULVERIZER.

“ The Ground Limestone proved to be the most economical Fertilizer, 
showing a profit over Bone Dust of $1.96 per Acre; over Phosphate of 
34.28 per Acre; over Guano of $9.70 per Acre; and over Salt of $5.90 per 
Acre.”— John G. Bear, Montgomery, Lycoming Co., Pa., sayB: “I believe

The SEDGWICK 
STEEL WIRE FENCE. 
Is the only general purpose wire fence in use. Being a 
strong net-work without barbs, it will turn dogs, pigs, poul¬ 
try,as well as the most vicious stock,without danger to either 
fence or stock. It is just the fence for farmers, gardeners, 
stock-raisers, and railroads; very desirable for lawns, parks, 
or cemeteries. As it is covered with rust-proof paint it will 
last a lifetime. It is superior to boards in every respect, 
and far better than barbed wire. We ask for it a fair trial, 
knowing it will wear itself into favor. The Sedgwick 
gates, made of wrought iron pipe and steel wire, defy all 
competition in neatness, lightness, strength, and durability. 
We also make the BEST and CHEAPEST ALL 
IRON Automatic or Self-opening Gate. Ask hardware 
dealers, or for price list and particulars address
