There’s only one sure way to plant potatoes quickly, by machinery. 
With most machines it’s hit or miss—very often 
miss. You can hit every time, never miss 
a hill, do the work better than by hand,, 
and plant easily from four to seven 
acres a day with the 
IMPROVED-ROBBINS POTATO PLANTER. 
Saves time in the early Spring, when time is worth more than 
money. The Improved-Robbins is made by the Iron-Ape People, 
and is described In the Iron-Ape Rook, which will be sent you on 
request. BATEMAN MFC. CO., Box 102, CRENLOC

How Many Hoes 
Would it take to work 20 acres of corn in a day ? How many dollars would the hoeing cost ? A big hoy and a 
horse can weed and cultivate 20 acres of almost any crop in a day with the Success Anti-clog Weeder. The 
greatest labor—time—money saving farm implement of the century. ulbT^-nh conger? jJnMvllic! Mich. Does more and 
better work than any other single tool, and does it cheaper than you could do it any other way. 
‘The Success Weeder saved meat least $50 this season.”—A. O. NICHOLS Manomct, Mass. 
“The Success Weeder saves us $100 a year in labor.”—G. P. WILLETS, No. Collins, N. Y.

is t^only weeder made with flat teeth—twice as flexible, durable and effective as 
round teeth. Liberal inducements to farmers and others to sell the Success Weeder. 
"The Success Weeder takes at sight. Could have sold several more if I had had them in time. 
Think you can book me for 20 Weeders next spring.”—JOHN LIVINGSTON, Morley, N. Y.
