BUS/lifESS BITS. 
We have many questions about the 
Clark method of seeding to grass. This 
demand has been so great that all issues 
of The R. N.-Y. which discuss it have 
been sent away. Mr. Clark has now 
printed a little pamphlet in which he tells 
the whole story. It is sent free by the 
Cutaway Harrow Co., Higganum, Conn. 
The Eureka Fence Mfg. Co., Richmond, 
Ind., are making a post auger, or earth 
auger, that seems to be a great improve¬ 
ment on the old-time spiral auger. It is 
self-cleaning and self-dumping. Those 
who have to dig post holes, will be inter¬ 
ested to know about it. The information 
will be found in their catalogue. 
The theory of aerated soils is treated 
very clearly in a little book issued by the 
tile supply house, John H. Jackson, Al¬ 
bany, N. Y. It is entitled “Drainage and 
How to Drain.” Practical experience 
demonstrates that tile-drained land is 
made very productive through the liberal 
admission of air and the carrying off of 
surplus moisture. If you have reclaimable 
land, write to Mr. Jackson for this free 
book. 
The latest thing in steel wheels for farm 
wagons seems to be the patent grooved- 
tire wheel made by the Havana Metal 
Wheel Co., of Havana, Ill. It is easily 
understood that the heads being down in 
the groove below the surface of the tire 
they are protected, so they cannot wear 
as they are sure to do in plain, flat-tired 
wheels. The Havana Company claims that 
the grooved tire wheels will outlast half 
a dozen wheels made with plain tires with 
the heads of the spokes exposed. They 
do not charge any more for them. They 
also make 10 different kinds of low-down 
truck wagons. Write for catalogue and 
prices. 
The farmer who is thinking of buying a 
binder will. If he is wise, reflect upon the 
importance of buying the best. The ex¬ 
perience of money-making agriculturists 
is that it pays to invest in the best. There 
are always second and third grades which 
a man can buy for less money, but they 
are far the most expensive when at work 
in the field. The McCormick Harvesting 
Machine Company of Chicago has been 
making harvesting machinery for 70 years, 
and for 1901 offer to the farmer the Mc¬ 
Cormick binder, a binder which is me¬ 
chanically perfect. The same may be said 
with regard to McCormick mowers and 
McCormick rakes. The machines which 
lead in design, construction, light draft 
and in working ability are certainly well 
worth the buying farmers’ closest inspec¬ 
tion. We know sections where the Mc¬ 
Cormick mowers are replacing others en¬ 
tirely. 
JfliCHT 
NEVER FAlii 
is the phrase which sums up in a few 
words the remarkable qualities of 
THE ANCLE LAMP 
It is rapidly replacing all other systems 
of illumination. It is more brilliant than 
gas or electricity; never smokes, smells or 
gets out of order,is lighted or extinguished 
as easily as gas,may be tilled while lighted 
aud without being moved, and burns for 
18c. per month. Thousands are in use in 
homes, stores, offlees. salesrooms, fac¬ 
tories, churches, etc., and demonstrate 
the wonderful value and beauty of oil 
when used under proper conditions. Send 
for our catalogue N. N., which shows all 
styles from $1.80 up. Free on request.
