The walnut is rather a rough nut, 
We refer to the tramp as a tough nut, 
So why break aweh 
From consistency, eh? 
It ought to be known as a doughnut.

WATER. 
If you want water only when the wind blows a windmill will do your work 
and cost less money than our Rider and Ericsson Hot-Air Pumps, but If you want 
water every day while your flowers are growing and do not want your pump blown 
down when the wind blows too hard, no pump In the world can equal ours. We 
have sold about 20,000 of them during tho past twenty-five years, which Is proof 
that wo are not making wild statements. 
Our Catalogue “C 4” will tell you all about them. Write to nearest store.

make efficient shredders out of "Ohio” Feed and Ensilage 
Cutters. The New Shredder BlaLde is the regular “Ohio” 
knife with solid_ integrally projecting bits which cut' and 
tear corn stalks into a nicely shredded condition, as shown 
in the picture. It makes corn-hay of the fodder. 
Shredder Bl&des are interchangeable with knives on all 
sizes "Ohio” Cutters. They successfully reduce fodder to 
the proper condition and do not pulverize the leaves like 
other styles.^ They shred with the same power, speed and 
capacity as “Ohio” Cutters, and either the Chain or Blower 
Elevators handle the shredded corn perfectly. Speed. 600 
to 700 revolutions. Power, 2 Horse Tread up to 12 h. p.

must keep down expense if there’s a margin left. The

selves at odd times as they do other farm work. Take 
with you two men» a boy and one horse and you turn 
off 8 to 12 tons per day with the

does the work of high priced inacliines and costs a 
half less. It leaves the profit with the hay maker.
