WHY THEY COMPARE. 
When an agent doesn’t handle what you ask for 
he will say that what he has is “just as 
good." Other makes are frequent¬ 
ly compared with the 
KRAUS P A 'Z CULTIVATOR. 
That is complimentary. We like it. It means that 
the Kraus is the standard and that you will be 
wise if you pin your faith to it. It is high wheeled, 
light draft, perfectly balanced, simply construct¬ 
ed, easily operated. Any boy cun work it. 
Shovels adjust for wide or narrow rows, depth 
and angle. Ingenious in dodging plants or ob¬ 
structions. Wheels and shovels instantly thrown 
to right or left by foot levers. A perfect hillside 
worker. Four, six or eight beam-pin, spring hoe 
or spring tooth. Catalogue free.

Hats!!! 
That word sets a 
terrier crazy, just as 
“APPROVED MAIL 
BOX” fires the heart” 
of the “news writer’ 
who is seeking a griev¬ 
ance. “Are ye M-E-N?” 
says he, “and will ye 
suffer this?” (Refer¬ 
ring to the turning down of 
the oyster-can mail box). Then 
he cries, “How long, Oh! Lord, 
how long?” (Referring to the 
suffering —not the can). Pat 
him on the back -while you explain that even 
“Pierp Morgan” -would not be allowed to 
transport the Mails in cattle cars. Our box 
is APPROVED by Uncle Sam and all sen¬ 
sible people. BOND STEEL POST CO.,

SQUASHES, MELONS, and CUCUMBERS 
of the finest quality are quickly grown by using from 5.00 to 800 pounds per 
acre of Bradley's Fertilizers at time of planting. 
It will gfeatly increase the crop to use 300 to 500 lbs. more scattered broadcast 
in the rows and cultivated in soon after the plants are up. 
One season’s test will convince any market gardener that it pays to use 
BRADLEY’S on all of his crops. Be sure and use them this spring. 
cannot be successfully fought with the inventions of yesterday. They win easiest who are best 
equipped for the fight. 
And the analogy holds good where the victories sought are the “victories of peace” no less 
than in those fiercer struggles of war. 
DEERING IDEAL HARVESTING MACHINES 
constitute the supreme excellence of modern equipment for the annual harvest campaign. No 
other machines work so smoothly, so effectively, so steadily. The force of men employed in the 
manufacture of the Deering jiroduct—binders, reapers, mowers, shredders, shockers, and twine 
—numbers more than 9,000, by far the largest body of operatives employed in any manufacturing 
concern of its kind in the world. The Deering plant occupies eiglity-five acres of ground, and 
constitutes a veritable “city in itself.” These vast resources are possible only because of the 
firm faith in Deering which demonstration has implanted in the minds of the practical farm¬ 
ing public in all parts of the world. 
Information that helps us is always worth its price. Call at the nearest Deering Agency and 
get a Deering Annuul for 1902. It is free.
