BUSINESS BITS. 
We have no apologies to make for direct¬ 
ing the attention of our readers to a matter 
of such importance as the saving and 
proper distribution of farm manures. There 
is probably no one thing in connection 
with the whole subject of agriculture 
which Is fraught with so much import¬ 
ance. The conservation and increase of 
fertility is certainly the keynote to suc¬ 
cessful agriculture. The first great basis 
of fertility Is the homemade manure pile. 
It can certainly be best and most economi¬ 
cally distributed in a mechanical way. 
For this purpose we can unqualifiedly 
recommend the Improved Kemp manure 
spreader, which Is manufactured by the 
Kemp & Burpee Mfg. Co., of Syracuse, N. 
Y. It is so constructed that it will spread 
any and all kinds of manure. The coarsest, 
hardest and most lumpy manure is torn 
apart, made fine and distributed in a man¬ 
ner that would not be possible by hand 
spreading. Strawy manure and that filled 
with cornstalks, which so seriously annoy 
the farmer, are handled with greatest ease 
and regularity. If at all interested in this 
great economic question, it will pay you 
to write to the manufacturers for their 
latest catalogue. In addition to a full 
illustration and description of their im¬ 
proved spreader, it contains much that is 
of value on the subject of housing, hand¬ 
ling and spreading of manure. 
The Spangler Manufacturing Co., of 
York, Pa., is the manufacturer of the well- 
known Spangler low down grain and fer¬ 
tilizer drill. The name gives a very good 
idea of the character and form of the drill. 
Being of the low down type, the grain box 
hangs low, and is in consequence easy to 
load. This is a particular advantage in 
loading various kinds of fertilizer which, 
as our readers know, are quite heavy and 
difficult to handle. The drills are well and 
durably made and are excellently suited 
to general seeding requirements. Write 
these people for catalogue before buying. 
H. K. Hartsuff, Jr., Secretary of Beaver 
Coal and Coke Co., of Wampum, Pa., 
writes: “I would just say that two months 
ago we had three mules that I would have 
given away if 1 could have found anyone 
to take them. After using 15 bottles of 
Kendall’s Spavin Cure on the three mules, 
we put them to work. They are working 
now and pulling as much as they were 
before injured, and I figure that the 15 
bottles just saved us buying three new 
mules, or rather a saving of from $450 to 
$500. I never saw anything that worked 
like it, and I will certainly recommend it 
to all my friends.” 
The a. F. Swan Co., of 114 Nassau St., 
New York, are the manufacturers of the 
famous Swan’s standard roofing, which 
has been upon the market and In success¬ 
ful use for the past 37 years. This roofing 
differs from others of its kind in that it 
is made of either two or three-ply specially 
prepared tarred felt. The process em¬ 
ployed in the manufacture is peculiar to 
the Swan Company, and the result is a 
very superior roofing. It is guaranteed to 
be wind, water and fireproof, and can be 
laid by anybody, without experience or 
any expert knowledge. The only tools 
necessary are a knife and hammer. Write 
for sample of the roofing, circulars, etc. 
Messrs. Sprout, Waldron & Co., Muncy, 
Pa., are offering to send any of their por¬ 
table mills on 15 days’ trial. This is a new 
departure in mill selling—and a substantial 
evidence of the worth of the mills, as It 
leaves the mill to prove its own worth, 
even in inexperienced hands. This firm has 
built up a great business In the 35 years 
it has been making mills, and is now sell¬ 
ing more mills than ever before. Whatever 
may be needed to equip a grinding room 
on the farm or a great milling plant can 
be bought from Messrs. Sprout, Waldron & 
Co. with the assurance of lowest price and 
best quality. Surely, there could be noth¬ 
ing fairer than their proposition of letting 
a mill prove its own worth and utility. 
The well-known National Dairy Machine 
Company, forced by a constantly increas¬ 
ing business to seek larger quarters, has 
moved to its new factory, 114-120 William 
St., Newark, N. J. In the commodious new 
home, which is fitted with all the modern 
appliances and improvements for the man¬ 
ufacture of dairy machines, the firm will 
be able to keep up with the demand for 
their National hand separator. The sterl¬ 
ing worth of this popular separator has 
been the prime factor in the growing pros¬ 
perity of this firm. Their offer to ship 
the machine on 10 days’ free trial Is proof 
conclusive of its efficiency and a trial will 
substantiate the claim that, by its use the 
milk of eight cows will yield as much 
cream as that of 10 cows by any other 
system. Full particulars of the 10 days’ 
trial plan and complete catalogue of their 
goods can be had on request. 
What shall we say of the milk farmer 
who has a good farm, but makes so little 
milk that the forenoon he spends peddling 
it doesn’t bring him in 15 cents an hour? 
It is easy to see why he doesn’t make more 
milk, for we called at his place recently. 
He has practically no crops, and his hay¬ 
ing not yet begun. During the time when 
he ought to have been haying he was 
shingling his barns. He’s always a month 
or two behind. Another one had the best 
recipe we have heard of to avoid plowing 
and reseeding. His plan is to let his Tim¬ 
othy go to seed every year before cutting; 
says “it never runs out.” When asked as 
to what good the hay was, said: “Well, 1 
suppose it ain’t quite so good, but the 
cattle eat It all up.” h. o. m. 
A CURE FOR ASTHMA. 
Asthma sufferers need no longer leave home and 
business in order to be cured. Nature has pro¬ 
duced a vegetable remedy that will permanently 
cure Asthma and all diseases of the lungs and 
bronchial tubes. Having tested its wonderful 
curative powers in thousands of cases (with a 
record of 90 per cent permanently cured) and de¬ 
siring to relieve human suffering, I will send free 
of charge toall sufferers from Asthma, Consump¬ 
tion, Catarrh, Bronchitis and nervous diseases,
