Whale oil soap and tobacco are often 
scommended In The R. N.-Y. for plant 
nd tree diseases. James Good. 937 N. 
ront St.. Philadelphia, Pa., has succeed- 
a in combining the two. This should make 
most useful insecticide and fungicide. 
Cold-water paint is commanding the at- 
entlon of paint users everywhere. This 
aint is sold In powdered form and mixes 
eadllv with cold w^ater. The Swan ^and 
=1 non-polsonous, and, of course. Is 
heaper than oil paints. Write to The A. 
f. Swan Co., 116 Nassau St., New York

The Cahoon seeder sows wheat, oats, 
ice, buckwheat, rye, hemp and all other 
•rain and grass seed five times faster than 
t can be done by hand. Six to eight acres 
an be covered per hour with sows 
I'heat 40 feet wide and other seeds In pro- 
lortlon. Write to Goodell Co., 14 Main St., 
intrlm, N. H., for circular and prices. 
Perfect cultivation Is the secret of many 
farmer’s success, which his neighbors 
ail to understand. A corn crop will laugh 
,t the worst drought if so cultivated as to 
etain the moisture in the soil. There is 
o better line of cultivators than the 
luckeye. The new pivot-axle Hdlng culti- 
ator is so constructed that the operator 
an guide It independently of the team. 
Lny user can readily see the 
his feature, especially on a side

One of the best Implement catalogues we 
ave seen this season is of the “Planet Jr.” 
•oods. This line of cultivators, seeders, 
/heel hoes, etc.. Is probably not surpassed 
iv any house In the world; 350,000 of these 
atalogues have been Issued at ^ 
nous expense. Any reader of The R. 
.tIio write, S. L. Allen & Co., Box 
Apb you Going to tfio Pan-Amopican? 
If so, the LACKAWANNA RAILROAD 
offers the best and cleanest route be¬ 
tween New Yorh and Buffalo. The 
dining cars are admitted to be second to 
none in the world, either in point of ex¬ 
cellence or in point of service. Meals 
are a la carte, which means: “Order that 
you want, and pay only for what yoti 
order.”— Adv. 
1711-V, Philadelphia, Pa., can have a copy 
absolutely free. Those wishing to know 
about up-to-date farm and garden tools 
will find the catalogue interesting and valu¬ 
able. Prices of “Planet Jr.” goods have 
been greatly reduced this year, and can be 
had from most first-class dealers. 
In all probability the largest single ship¬ 
ment of agricultural implements ever 
made, was sent out the first week in March 
from the factory of the Ohio Cultivator 
Co., at Bellevue, O., when a solid train of 
36 carloads of various agricultural imple¬ 
ments left, consigned to various points in 
Kansas. 'Their make of cultivators, har¬ 
rows, planters, plows and other agricultu¬ 
ral Implements is eagerly sought after 
by wide-awake farmers in all sections of 
the country. Among the Company’s spec¬ 
ialties the Famous Ohio hammock-seat cul¬ 
tivator and the Bellevue Anti-friction disc 
harrow are leaders, and the sales of these 
worthy Implements are constantly Increas¬ 
ing. Catalogue illustrating and describing 
the various lines of implements made by 
the Company will be sent free on request. 
“Is it as good as Mapes?” That Is the 
question which thousands of farmers ask 
when requested to investigate a new fer¬ 
tilizer. It is all well enough to talk about 
the per cent of nitrogen, potash, and phos¬ 
phoric acid, but the word “Mapes” carries 
a meaning of its own which farmers under¬ 
stand. The chemist at the station prints 
his analysis and figures out his “trade 
valuations,” but his reagents are not fine 
or delicate enough to analyze the element 
“Mapes,” which is the skill and care with 
which the chemicals are mixed a.nd blended. 
We all understand that two fertilizers may 
show the same analysis of nitrogen, potash 
and phosphoric acid, yet one of them may 
show 50 per cent greater agricultural value 
than the other. The reason for this is 
understood by those who realize the differ¬ 
ence in the various forms of fertilizing 
substances. When' you see “Mapes” on 
the bag you may know that the plant food 
is not all jumbled together like hash or a 
“boiled dinner,” but that the special needs 
and appetite of the crop have been con¬ 
sidered. The name represents the fourth 
standard element in a balanced fertilizer. 
The Mapes Fertilizer Co., 143 Liberty St.. 
New York, will send catalogues which tell 
all about it.
