BUSINESS BITS. 
Another of the good preparations to 
prevent flies from pestering horses and 
cows is offered by H. W. Doughton, 
Moorestown, N. J. Write for booklet and 
prices. 
Now is the time to prepare for your next 
year's strawberry supply. The potted 
plants set out anytime next month will 
bear next season. Write to T. J. Dwyer 
& Son, Cornwall, N. Y., for Summer cat¬ 
alogue. 
There are many good thrashing outfits 
on the market, but if you want to keep 
your rye and wheat straw straight, you 
would better write to Grant-Ferris Co., 
Troy, N. Y. Their machines thrash oats 
and other grains like ordinary machines. 
Where farmei's do their own thrashing 
a one or two-horse outfit will often do the 
work. It may take a little longer, but will 
be cheaper than buying a large machine. 
Ellis Keystone Agr’l Works, Potlstown, 
Pa., manufacture such horse power thrash¬ 
ers, cleaners, wood saws, etc. F. L. Maine, 
Willet, N. Y., is agent. 
It is highly probable that no small steam 
engine yields the power claimed for it; 
even fewer “hoise powers” do. From the 
effort of the animal, heavy mechanism has 
heretofore subtracted a great portion of 
the power, and it has remained for a Ver¬ 
mont firm to produce an ideal horse 
power. 'I’liis power is known as A. W. 
Gray’s Sons’ horse power. It is manufac¬ 
tured at Middletown Springs, Vt. it is not 
a new thing, but its later improvements 
are all new and all very valuable—insuring 
lightness, with strength; ease of operation, 
with great durability; thoroughly good 
construction, with low price. Anyone con¬ 
templating a purchase of power or ma¬ 
chine may have catalogue free by ad¬ 
dressing A. W. Gray’s Sons, Middletown 
Springs, Vt. 
The members of the Frost Wire Fence 
Company have been identified with the 
iron and steel industry, as well as the man¬ 
ufacture of wire fencing, for the past 12 
to 15 years. The company was incorporat¬ 
ed on May 27, 1896, at that time locating at 
Columbus, O. Owing to the fact that 
Cleveland possessed many advantages over 
Columbus for the manufacture of wire 
fencing, they removed their plant in June, 
1897, to Cleveland. Their new two-story 
building will be completed and ready for 
occupancy not later than August 15, 1901, 
giving tliem a capacity for producing 60 
miles of fencing per day, and they will 
still have room to increase their capacity 
threefold, if needed in the future. They 
are now prepared to fill all orders for the 
Frost fence, coiled spring wii’e, and steel 
gates, on short notice. The oflicers of the 
company desire to extend a personal invi¬ 
tation to every one visiting the city of 
Cleveland, to pay them a visit at their 
new factory, located on Lake Street, near 
Marquette. 
The man wlio knows most about wind¬ 
mills has written a book. It is a 40-page 
book, with more than 100 pictures. Every 
page of the book is interesting to a man 
who wants a windmill. Not a word will 
he skip. And when he is done, he will 
know all that anybody knows about wind¬ 
mills and what they should do. He can¬ 
not be fooled; but the man who buys a 
windmill without reading this book will 
regret it. Simply send your address, and 
the book will be mailed to you free. The 
writer of this book is president of the 
Aermotor Company. But the bpok is not 
biased, nor unfair. It is a book of infor¬ 
mation, written by the man who knows 
more than any other man about windmills. 
The writer of this book started in 12 years 
ago to make aermotors. The field was 
overcrowded. Makers with millions of 
capital, and tens of thousands of agents, 
controlled all the trade there was. The 
Aermotor Co. had little capital, no trade, 
no agents, no reputation. ’Twas a pigmy 
among giants. That was 12 years ago. 
To-day the whole earth is dotted with 
aermotors, and more aermotors are sold 
than of all other windmills together. That 
is a record with scarcely a parallel in the 
history of invention. The book will tell 
you how it was done. Write Aermotor 
Co., 1206 Twelfth St., Chicago. 
Wheat and corn are the principal mar¬ 
ket crops; but little other grains grown 
except for home use, and most of the corn 
is fed either to cattle or hogs within the 
county. We have in Sanborn County one 
cheese factory, five creameries and several 
skimming stations, all well patronized, so 
that our dairying Is a source of consider¬ 
able wealth to the farmers. Potatoes are 
looking extra fine; only about one-half of 
last year’s acreage planted. We have had 
no bugs to fight for several years; have 
not seen a Potato bug this year.

Gold-Shell Rings. 
Most people like a 
nice ring. We show 
three styles. These are 
made by drawing a 
shell of gold over a rod 
of composition metal. 
They are better and 
will wear longer than 
solid gold rings of a 
low carat. The retail 
price would he from 75 
cents to 31- We will 
send one of these rings 
postpaid as a reward 
for sending one new subscription at $1. 
Cut a slip of paper the size of finger and 
send for size. 
A Darning Machine. 
This is the only successful darning 
machine we ever saw. We have tried 
others that were absolutely of no value. 
This one is little short of perfect. It 
enables you to mend underwear, stock¬ 
ings, curtains, table linens, clothing, and 
does an endless variety of art and fancy 
weaving better, easier and quicker than 
by any other way. Full directions ac¬ 
company each machine. When a lady 
has once used this little machine, she 
would not do without it for any con¬ 
sideration. We will send it postpaid for 
$1, or for two new yearly subscriptions 
at 81 each. All money returned if not 
satisfied.
