This is certainly the SIMPLEST MOWER 
now on th 3 market. Little by little we have ob¬ 
literated those complications so characteristic of 
mowers in general until we have produced the 
“GLOBE” 
which combines the highest obtaina¬ 
ble efficiency and simplicity. 
THE DRIVING GEAR issim- 
ple, powerful and durable. The high 
wheels produce powerful traction and 
light draft. Equipped with our 
FAMOUS UNDER MITCH, which ap¬ 
plies tlie draft to the 
very centre of 
resistance. 
THE GLOBE has a long pitman:'all fanners 
know the power and advantage of a long lever. Easy 
foot lift carries the cutter bar over all obstacles 
—just the thing for rough land. The grass end of 
cutter bar is equipped with either wheel orsole— 
will cut any height of stubble desired. The 
knife end of the pitman has an oil reservoir 
which is self-feeding — no need of oiling every 
“round,” and no danger of heating.

THIS'a s FACT 
All plants take their food-nourishment in sol¬ 
ution. The more nearly manure is reduced to a 
solution the more quickly it becomes available 
as plant food. Therefore coarse manure is poor 
plant food. Fine manure is good plant food. 
Kemp’s Manure Spreader 
makes all kinds of manure fine and spreads it 
evenly. 16 years on the market. Improved 
for 1897. Catalogues and circulars FREE. Address
