BUSINESS BITS. 
Interest in life insurance is increasing. I 
One reason is the improvement in form of| 
policy contracts, making them attractive] 
investments as well as a protection to one’s 
family. The new business of the Equit¬ 
able last year amounted to $322,047,968, and 
the surplus fund is $73,354,138.03. With 
skillful management the company’s affairs 
are likely to be handled without any draft 
upon this surplus, so it becomes a source 
of revenue, increasing the final profits to [ 
policy holder or beneficiary. The large 
amounts to be invested bring to such a I 
concern the cream of all securities, so that | 
none but the choicest need be taken. Many 
policies are specially desirable for farm¬ 
ers and others similarly situated, and are I 
worthy of careful examination. There is [ 
no more prudent or profitable way of in¬ 
vesting at least part of one’s savings. 
Write the Equitable Life Assurance So¬ 
ciety, Dept. 125, 120 Broadway, New York, 
for full particulars. 
A potato digger that can be used to pre¬ 
pare the ground in the Spring and to di£ 
the potatoes in the Fall, doing good work I 
in both cases, is what is offered by D. Y. 
Hallock & Sons to those who buy their 
new Ideal Potato Digger. This machine | 
is guaranteed to do good work or no sale. 
“No cold corners; the Iowa is round,” is I 
the text of the new catalogue "and poultry 
book for 1904 from the Iowa Incubator | 
Co., Des Moines, la.. The walls of Iowa 
incubators are made of compressed fiber I 
board, which is bent around in a circle so 
that there are no joints or cracks to open 
and let the warm air escape, or let in cold | 
air to chill the eggs. 
We have just received a beautiful litho- ] 
graphed hanger or poster printed in 10 
colors, sent out by the manufacturers of 
the “Iron Age” farm and garden imple¬ 
ments, Bateman Mfg. Co., Box 102, Gren- 
loch, N. J. Besides showing clearly sev¬ 
eral of the leading “Iron Age” tools in J 
operation in the field, it shows the fac¬ 
tories of this company. The tools thev 
offer are thoroughly up to date and all im 
plements manufactured by them are guar¬ 
anteed to be as represented. Their 48- 
page “Iron Age” catalogue is sent free 
upon application. 
There’s easy running and the nicest I 
kind of adaptability to all uses in the 
Planet Jr. line of garden tools. They are 
used in almost all quarters of the civilized 
world, and wherever they go there are sat¬ 
isfied customers. The following from Willis 
Frank, of Eaton, O., is a specimen of the | 
appreciation people have for the entire 
line: “The No. 11 double wheel hoe, bought 
last year, has been a great labor saver to 
me. My son, 15 years old, raised quite a 
large garden with it, and it appeared to be [ 
more of an amusement than labor to him. 
I sat in the shade while he did it.” 
Mrs. Snobbs: “I want a girl accus¬ 
tomed to being employed in the best 
families.” Agent: ‘‘I’ve got just the 
girl you want. She was employed in 
seven of the best families last month.” 
—Brooklyn Life. 
‘‘So you are an advocate of vegetar¬ 
ianism!” ‘ Yes.” “For what reason?” 
“If I can persuade everybody else to 
live on vegetables, perhaps eggs and 
beef will become cheap enough for me 
to have all I want of them.”—Washing¬ 
ton Star. 
There Reasons 
Are Why 
The Angle Lamp 
Is the only one advertised. It Is the only one with 
qualities to commend It to all classes. It is the 
most economical good light in the world. All other 
lamps will smoke and emit an odor that is di-a- 
grceable and unhealthy. Such things are unheard 
of with The Angle Lamp. Then it’s so easy to op¬ 
erate and care for. One filling lasts 22 hours. 
Lights and extinguishes like gas. Yet the be-t 
thing about it is the quality of Its light. 11 is steady 
and restful to the eyes—and means genuine com¬ 
fort. Ithasall the lighting power of gas or elec¬ 
tricity, butts reliable and perfectly steady, and 
the expense to maintain it is far less than even or¬ 
dinary lamps. “No under-shadow” is The Angle 
Lamp’s great exclusive feature. That alone has 
helped greatly in making it lamous.

to prove its good qualities for thev cannot be told 
here. No one can help but appreciate it. We will 
Bend you a book that, tells all about it—then you 
may try the lamp without risk. Write for cata¬ 
logue No. N. N. while you are thinking about it.

A New 
Era 
in windmill mak¬ 
ing began with 
the birth of t lie 
Samson 
Windmill 
It is not like any 
other— it is bet¬ 
ter. It is the 
one with which 
dealers 
and 
salesmen 
draw 
compar¬ 
isons. 
“Just as good as the 
Samson” has become 
a favorite subterfuge 
with them. They know 
very well nothing is the 
equal of the wonderful 
Samson with its Double 
Gear; its long shafts; 
and long bearings with 
detachable boxings; its 
perfect center line 
draft, direct lift and 
absolute freedom 
from all torsion and 
overhanging strain. 
The Samson never 
“wobbles” in the 
wind. The wheel 
and vane are sensi¬ 
tive to the slightest 
wind. It pulls the 
water from the deep¬ 
est well with perfect 
ease, because it dis¬ 
tributes the strain 
over four bear¬ 
ings instead of 
one as in case 
of all the other 
mills. Every mill is equipped 
with our large capacity, deep cup, 
cable feed self oilers. It makes the 
oiling sure and cups only need to 
be tilled at long intervals. We can’t 
tell all about it here. We will mail 
free the handsomest and most com¬ 
plete windmill catalogue ever pub¬ 
lished if you ask for it. It tells just 
how the Samson is made and illus¬ 
trates each separate part. Write 
for it at once.
