Humorous 
BUCKEYE FERTILIZER HOE DRILL. 
One little simple song we sing, 
To brides but newly wed; 
Just make the best of everything— 
Especially of bread. 
—Detroit Free Press. 
“Don’t (be too suspicious an’ ready to 
’cuse people o’ bad intentions,” said 
Uncle Eben. “Sometimes it sounds like 
you wus figgerin’ out what you would do 
if you wus in deir place.”—Washington 
Star. 
Mistress (greatly scandalized): “Is it 
possible, Mary, you are making bread 
without having washed your hands?” 
New Kitchen Girl: “Lor’, what’s the dif¬ 
ference, mum? It’s brown bread.”—The 
Columbian. 
“They say that mule meat gave the 
hungry people in Kimberley much bet¬ 
ter satisfaction than horse meat.” “That 
isn’t strange. Mule meat would nat¬ 
urally make them kick at other food.”— 
Cleveland Plain Dealer. 
Sttjrb: “They say El wood was con¬ 
fined to his home last month. Gout 
again?’ Penn: “No, you see he had to 
remain home and mind the baby while 
his wife attended the mothers’ con¬ 
gress.”—Chicago Tribune. 
“Yes," said Mr. St. Clair Parke, “our 
language is queer. The only way a man 
can be straight in business is to be per¬ 
fectly square; and the surest way to 
keep a man from running over you is 
not to let him sit on you.”—Indianapolis 
News. 
The Collector: “Here it is Tuesday, 
and you haven’t paid a cent on that 
watch. You promised to have the 
money for me Saturday.” The Young 
Man: “Well, it is only Friday by the 
watch. It is that much slow.”—Indian¬ 
apolis Press. 
“The only trouble ’bout these col¬ 
leges,” said the old man, “is they eddi- 
caJtes a boy in furrin languages, en when 
he gits home en goes to plowin’, he 
cusses the mule in Latin, an the poor, 
uneddicated creetur’ can’t onderstan’ 
him!”—Atlanta Constitution. 
“What’s this?’ exclaimed the young 
husband, referring to the memorandum 
she had given him. “One dozen eggs, 
one pound of raisins, bottle of lemon ex¬ 
tract, a tin of ground cinnamon, and 
half a pound of sugar. What do you 
want with all these things, Belinda?” 
“I’ve got a stale loaf,” replied the young 
wife, “that I’m going to save by work¬ 
ing it up into a bread pudding. I never 
let anything go to waste, Henry.”—Tit- 
Bits. 
STEEL FRAME 
The Buckeye Combined Crain 
and Fertilizer Hoe Drill, 
as shown in the illustration, is without doubt the 
most perfect grain and fertilizer drill made. Has 
our Change of Speed Device, and our Double Run 
Force Feed, which sows wheat, corn, oats, peas, 
beans, beet seed, cow peas, etc., with uniform 
accuracy. Also our Glass Fertilizer Feed. The 
employment of glass in the construction of a fer¬ 
tilizer feed makes it possible to obviate the cor¬ 
roding of the mechanism and doing away with 
the annoyance commonly found in other fertilizer 
drills. This is a patented feature, and used ex. 
clusively on the BUCKEYE. Sows all kinds of fertilizer evenly and successfully.
