the same. Sweet peas are plentiful, and 
only bring $101.50 per 100. Violets are in 
large supply, ranging about 15050 cents; 
highest price is only received for extras.

dinary, $405. Easter lilies are $408; a: 
great many poor ones come in, selling for 
the lower figures. Easter stuff is coming 
on well, and there is not likelv to be anv 
■shortage.

Whitney's J'oint, N. Y., Jan. 20, 1903. 
The Lawrence-Williams Co., Cleveland, O.: 
I used your Gombault’s Caustic Balsam 
on a yearling colt that had an enlarge 
ment of the ankle. It was quite a bunch. 
Y^our Balsam cured it without a .scar. It 
should be in every household.—John H.

A BKAUTiFtiL picture entitled ‘‘The Fav¬ 
ored One,” the original of which is a paint¬ 
ing by a famous French artist, is now' 
owned by Geo. H. Stahl, Quincy, Ill. Mr. 
Stahl has had made a limited number of 
views in natural colors, suitable for fram¬ 
ing, size 10x14 inches, and if you will send 
him four cents in postage he will send you 
a copy free of charge. He will also send 
you one of his handsome new catalogues. 
We have before us the new 1903 cata¬ 
logue of S. L. Allen & Co., of Philadelphia, 
Ba. Our readers will remember these peo¬ 
ple as being the manufacturers of the fa¬ 
mous “Planet Jr.” garden, farm and 
special culture tools. The book is full of 
good matter which should be in the hands 
of every farmer, orchardist, etc. Write 
for a copy which w'ill be mailed free. 
The new catalogue just i.ssued by the 
Prairie State Incubator Co., Homer City, 
Pa., tells a straightforward business story, 
without "gush” or egotism. After one has 
read it carefully a pretty good idea can 
be had as to what constitutes a good in¬ 
cubator and brooder, as well as the firm’s 
manner of doing business. Of the latter 
the many years of uninterrupted success 
is proof of the sagacity and integrity of 
the firm. 
"Sprayers and Spraying Mixtures,” a 
catalogue which should be in the hand of 
every person interested in fruit and farm¬ 
ing, is the 106-page 1903 catalogue issued by 
the Rippley Hardware Company, Grafton, 
111., well-known manufacturers of all 
kinds of sprayers, prepared spraying mix¬ 
tures, and general line of fruit growers’ 
and farm supplies. ’To all interested in 
fruit, who send to the above address, they 
will mail one of these catalogues 
Adriance, Platt & Co., of Poughkeep¬ 
sie, N. Y., were one of the very earliest 
manufacturers of farm machinery, and 
their Adiiance make at once attained the 
greatest popularity wherever introduced. 
'Their machines W'ere a most important 
feature in the development of the earlier 
agricultural States of the East, and theii 
trade name is recognized by the farmer as 
the synonym for what is best in farm 
machinery. Send for their catalogue to 
address above. 
'The Hardie spray pump has come into 
jiopular favor with orchardists perhaps in 
a shorter space of time than most of the 
reliable makes that have won an enviable 
reputation. Any of our people who are 
looking for a spraying outiit this year 
will do well to send for this excellent cat¬ 
alogue. Address Hardie Spray Pump Mfg. 
Co., 54 Lamed St., Detroit, Mich. 'The 
little poem sent out by this company de¬ 
scriptive of their pumps and telling in a 
pleasing way the work they will do will 
interest inany. 
Many of our readers will remember with 
pleasure the old reliable “Hartman” stock¬ 
ade field fence. It is now being manu¬ 
factured by the Cuyahoga Wire & Fence 
Co., of Cuyahoga Falls, Oliio. Many of 
our readers can attest its good qualities, 
for many of them have used it in the past 
and are using it now. It is an entirely 
interwoven fence. You can get it in four 
styles, large or small mesh, or large and 
small mesh combined, and in a great va¬ 
riety of heights. Write the Cuyahoga peo¬ 
ple for latest catalogue, circulars, etc. 
The pioneer manufacturer of the all- 
steel hari'ow was Roderick Lean, founder 
of the Roderick I>ean Manufacturing Co., 
of Mansfield, O. From a meager beginning 
la a small blacksmith shop to the largest 
harrow works in the world, is the typical 
Illustration that true merit wins. The uni¬ 
versal use and recommendation by farm¬ 
ers throughout the length and breadth of 
this country, of Roderick Lean harrows, 
land rollers, hand carts and other farm 
implements is good proof of their merits. 
Their catalogue is sent free on request. 
The tendency among the best fruit grow¬ 
ers is to use i>ower sprayers for orchard 
work. Great jiower is necessary to pro- 
•duce the mist-like spray which is neces- 
..sary. The sjirayers made by the Field 
Force Pump Co., Elmira, N. Y., are noted 
for their power, which, with their excel¬ 
lent nozzles, make the finest, most mist- 
like spray, covering all sides and every 
part of leaf, fruit and flower. Their auto¬ 
matic agitators are to be relied upon ab- 
•.solutely to keep the mixture thoroughly 
i.stirred. It will pay any fruit grower to 
:send for this catalogue of spray immp.s— 
:all kinds of hand pumiis, ton.

A Word Abont FERTILIZERS 
Fertilizers — good ones we mean—are as neces¬ 
sary for prosperity as good land, good cattle, good 
tools, or good barns. They stand in precisely the 
same relation to your land as grain and forage 
to your cattle and horses. 
BRADLEYS 
FERTILIZERS 
represent prosperity ; their use means full barns, 
well-fed cattle, and money in your pocket. 
They are the result of nearly a half-century of 
experience and experiment. They contain the 
proper proportions of plant-food elements neces¬ 
sary for the full maturing of each crop.

“ Well begun is half done ” when it comes to economical 
harvesting. One distinct advantage in using

Is their remarkable freedom from breakage. 
Their simplicity, as well as ingenious and thorough con.struction. contributes 
to this — prevents many vexatious and qostly delays. The simple PRANO 
KNOT T E R illustrates it; comprised of only 16 pieces (about half the usual 
number) it has made the highest record ever made by any Knotter for unvarying 
accuracy and durability; it ties whole harvests without missing a sheaf. 
The Plano "Binder has many other interesting points it pays to know about, 
such as its self-regulating Fly-Wheel, Reel with safety Friction Clutch, etc. 
When you buy a Plano Harvester, MoWer. Header. Reaper. RaXe. Corn
