Ab for the peach, Itself, 
If perchance it could speak its heart, 
’Twould as lief be killed by frost in the Spring, 
Ab to live till Fall, and then, poor thing ! 
Bcsold for five cents a quart.— Detroit Journal. 
“Dow did you come to marry your 
second husband ? ” ‘ ■ My fi rst one died. ” 
—Life. 
“ Whew !” Margie exclaimed, looking 
at the hail, “it’s wainin’ homipathic 
pills.”—Judge. 
“ What a look of eager anticipation 
that man in the corner wears ? ” “Yes. 
he runs an incubator .”—Cleveland Plain 
Dealer. 
“One of those little chickens won’t 
mind the old hen at all. It runs about 
by itself and doesn't pay any attention 
to her clucks.” “ I don’t really blame 
the poor little thing. It’s one that was 
hatched in an incubator.”— Chicago 
Tribune. 
Doctor: “James, did that lady in the 
waiting-room come in her own coach or 
a trolley-car?” Servant: “Trolley-car, 
sir ! ” Doctor : “ Thanks ! I couldn’t 
tell from her dress whether to prescribe 
three months at Newport or sulphur and 
molasses !”— Puck. 
Watts : “ What we want is some one 
who will make the Filipinos understand 
that American promises are not like 
Spanish promises.” PottB : “ Good idea. 
Why not send a few American Indians to 
make the necessary explanations ?”— 
Indianapolis Jowrnal. 
Customer : “ Are these eggs strictly 
fresh ?” Shopman: “Yes, sir. You 
haven’t found anything wrong with the 
eggs you’ve been getting here for the 
last month, have you ? ” Customer : 
“No.” Shopman: “Well, these are & 
part of the same lot.”— Tit-Bits. 
Margaret (contemplating her new 
sister): “ Ma, where did you get the new 
baby ? ” Her Mother : “ Oh ! the doctor 
fixed it up down at his office and brought 
it to us.” Margaret (after a pause): 
“ Say, Ma, don’t you think we better try 
another doctor next time ? ”—Puck 
“ The horseless carriage I approve,” 
They heard the housewife mutter. 
“ But argument cannot remove 
My hate for cowless butter.” 
—Brooklyn Eagle 
Cooley Creamer 
LEADS THE WORLD 
In all the Gravity Methods of Raising Cream. 
dairies showed only one-tenth oi 
cent or less of fat in the skim-milk 
It is also a great labor-saving method; in 
fact, it works while you sleep, as it requires no 
attention while the cream is rising. 
The cans being entirely submerged and 
water-sealed greatly increases the cooling sur¬ 
face and prevents all gases or odors from 
penetrating the milk, thus obtaining abso- 
cream.

An Old Proverb That 
but just as forceful today as ouc hundred years ago. 
It’s good common sense advice in almost, every transaction, but for 
present purposes let us suppose you arc going to buy a binder, a mower 
or a corn harvester. 
Possibly you have made up your mind to get something cheaper than 
the Peering Ideal. 
Perhaps it is not yet too late to “go back.” And it certainly in “better 
to go back than to go wrong.” 
That word “cheaper” is an old fraud. Do not be deceived by it. 
Deering Ideal grain and grass harvesters are “ideal” because they embody 
the best thoughts and suggestions of the farmer and the mechanic. 
They are simple, scientific and substantial. 
They are the cheapest to buy because they are the best to own.
