MANURE SPREADER 
Pulverizer and Cart Combined. 
The greatest invention since the. 
introduction of the Reaper and 
Mower. First introduced in 1878, 
and over 2.000 now in use by the 
best farmers in every State, and 
everywhere telling its own story 
of the economy of labor and the better use of manure. It makes the roughest and severest 
labor of the farm the easiest and speediest. Handles all kind of manure found on the farm, 
from the coarsest to the finest, including lime, ashes, muck, marl, &c., in any condition, wet or 
dry: placing any amount desired per acre, from twenty bushels upwards, broadcast or in drills, 
m one-tenth the time it can be done by baud. Covers every square inch of ground with finely 
pulverized manure, insuring rapid growth and large uniform crops : every particle of manure 
is at once utilized for plant food, its quality of work cannot be approached by hand-labor at 
ten times the cost. 
Many farmers write : “ It saves its cost every year.” Another writes, when ordering some 
repairs: “We have just finished cutting over 200 tons actual weight of hay, 50 ton9 of which we 
give the Spreader credit for, in consequence of evenly spreading the'manure used in top 
dressing. 
The fields where the Spreader is used can be dis¬ 
tinguished from others by the quality of crops. 
Farmers having become familiar with the Spreader 
claim they would sooner part with their mower or 
reaper than with the Spreader, so indispensable has 
it become. It is a staunch and reliable implement, well made of best material, durable, not 
liable to breakage with fair use, and can be readily used as a common cart. For Illus¬

BICYCLE. 
The Bicycle, as a permanent, 
practical road-vehicle, is an ac¬ 
knowledged fact, and the thou¬ 
sands in daily use are constantly 
increasing in numbers. It com¬ 
bines speed and endurance that 
no horse can equal, and for plea¬ 
sure or health is far superior to 
any other out-door sport. The 
art of riding Is easily acquired, 
and the exercise is recom¬ 
mended by the medical profes¬ 
sion as a means of renewing 
health and strength, as it brings 
in to action almost every muscle 
of the body. Send 3c. stamp for
