Taxon: “Do you have an alarm clock 
at your house?” Paxon: “We don’t 
have to have; we’ve got twins.”— 
Credit Lost. 
“You say that you have a wealthy 
uncle,” said the judge to the colored cul¬ 
prit before him. “Where does he live?” 
“In Georgia sail, an’ he’s powerful rich 
-^he’s a melonaire.”—Chicago Times- 
Herald. 
Doctor: “What you need is change 
and rest.” Patient: “I can’t afford it. 
My income’s pretty well requisitioned al¬ 
ready. My children get all the change, 
and my wife gets the rest.”—Philadel¬ 
phia Record. 
“I asked that school teacher if she 
wouldn’t take my life and mould it in 
her wise and gentle hands.” “What did 
she say?” "She said if I was proposing 
to her to say so and not undermine my 
intellect trying to talk shop.”—Chicago 
Record. 
“Say,” said little Freddie to Mr. Mur- 
gleson, “do you know what?” “No; 
what?” “When Sister Fannie come 
downstairs you watch and see how she 
limps. We’ve all been getting vaccin¬ 
ated. Mine’s on my left arm.”—Chicago 
Times-Herald. 
Dr. Ends: “There is nothing serious 
the matter with Freddy, Mrs. Blakly. I 
think a little soap and water will do 
him as much good as anything.” Mrs. 
Blakly: “Yes, doctor, an’ will I give it 
to him before or after his meals !

IMJWBEN MFG- CO., Box 22 Prairie City, Iowa. 
The Buckeye Disc Drill 
shown herewith is the latest and most 'practical 
Grain Drill on the market, and contains all New 
and Improved but throughly tested features. 
Has a Square Steel Tubular Frame, and no 
wood parts in connection therewith. Celebrated 
Buckeye Double Run Force Feed. Sows wheat, 
oats, peas or beans perfectly without change of 
Feed Cup. Has Single Disc and Single Drag 
Bar, preventing the lodging of corn stalks and 
trash in the drag bars. Specially Hardened 
Disc Spindle, giving it long life and wearing 
qualities. The Disc Box which revolves on the 
spindle is specially hardened, and will last for 
years. The Disc Boot will not clog tip in wet 
ground, or gather trash. Corn and wheat 
stubble, without any other preparation where 
desired, can be seeded perfectly, as the discs roll over or cut through the trash, making the drill work 
more perfect than either Hoe or Shoe Drill. Wheat sown in this manner stands the hard winters better. 
We also make a full line of Hoe, Shoe and Disc Drills, both plain and fertilizer, in sizes to suit 
the requirements. Send for complete drill circular. Address
