and living expenses—in some cases, books, clothes and traveling 
expenses—at any agricultural college, or at any equally expen¬

The Cooley svstem of setting milk is well-known oy all 
progressive dairymen. New plans and devices for holding 
the milk have been perfected, 
but the system, still may bear 
the name of “Cooley.” The 
makers of this creamer are 
fully alive to the needs of 
dairymen. As evidence of 
this fact, we may state that 
the idea of adding cold water 
to milk in order to assist the 
separation of the cream and 
thus save ice, was first sug¬ 
gested by them. Such enter¬ 
prise coupled with the reputa¬ 
tion of the creamer itself, 
ought to be a sufficient guar¬ 
antee that the “Cooley” goods 
will answer every reasonable 
demand. Sizes to accommodate from one to 36 cows. 
Prices, $20 to $85. State size wanted and we will quote 
terms for clubs of subscriptions.

It is considered settled that the roller is a necessary im 
plement in successful grain raising. Experience and prac 
tice have demonstrated that the grain plant loves a thor¬ 
oughly pulverized soil with a smooth, weli-firmed surface. 
The roller is about as useful for firming the soil as is the 
Larrow or cultivator for making it fine. Tne roller we 
offer has a cast head, with oak staves, an iron axle, an 
easy seat, double-trees and neck-yoke. It is made in two 
sections, eight feet long, 24 inches in diameter. Price, 
$32. Given fn 23 new subscriptions at $2; or for 10 sub¬ 
scriptions and $15 additional. 
The Davis Swing Churn. 
There are plenty of good people 
who still say that a churn with a 
dasher inside is as good as any. We 
do not agree with them, and would 
not use a churn with any inside 
fixtures. We can make more and 
better butter with less work and 
less bother in a churn without such 
fixtures. The Davis swing churn 
gives the cream a thorough shaking 
up. It is light and easy work to 
push this churn to and fro. It is easy to stop to look at 
the cream and easy to wash after being used There are 
13 sizes ranging from seven to 300 gallons, and $7 to $60 in 
price. State the size wanted and terms will be quoted. 
The Yankee Swivel Plow. 
Swivel plows are very useful for hillsides and on level 
ground, because the furrows are all turned oneway, less time 
is wasted in turning, and a great variety of work can be 
done with one 
plow. The Yau 
kee Swivel Plow 
is considered t he 
best of its class. 
It is made of 
patent steeled 
metal, and each 
plow is fitted 
with a patent 
steel lifting lever, clevis and patent foot latch, which 
enable the plowman to reverse and guide 1 he plow with¬ 
out taking his hands from the handles or stopping the 
team. By means of the adjustable clevis the plowman is 
given power to control the line of draft or the width of the 
furrow. Price of No. 2 H, with wheel and coulter (weight 
135 pounds), $15. Given for 10 new subscriptions at $2 ; or 
for five subscriptions and $8 additional. 
The Little All-Right Drag Saw and Horse-Power. 
This is a sawing machine and horizontal geared horse¬ 
power combined. The power can be operated in the field 
or under cover—wherever spikes or pins can be driven to 
hold it firmly in place. It can be used for other purposes, 
such as driving feed cutters, pumping water, etc. It can be 
used with one horse or more. The saw does rapid and 
accurate work and will handle timber that could not, be 
woixed witii inti ordinary buzz saw. This outfit is verv 
strong aud durable and, as it occupies little space and can 
be readily moved about, it is sure to find favor with
