BUSINESS BITS. 
A very convenient dry powder distributer or 
bellows is made by Chas. H. Childs & Co., Utica, 
N. Y. 
Western farmers will find almost anything 
they need in the farm implement line, in the 1896 
catalogue of M. Rumeley Company, La Porte, 
Ind., and all their goods will be found first-class. 
The Carter Wire Fence Machine Company, Box 
30, Mt. Sterling, O., make a lump price for their 
fence machine and materials for 300 rods of 
fence. It brings the price down very low, and the 
fence seems to give very good satisfaction. 
The Diamond balance churn has a great ad¬ 
vantage in having a center board to break the 
fall of the cream in its passage from one end to 
the other as the churn revolves. It turns easily, 
and the butter is more easily removed than from 
the barrel churn. It is made by the Diamond 
Balance Churn Company, Ballston Spa, N. Y. 
You will notice how many western farmers are 
asking questions about fertilizers. They are 
studying out analyses, and figuring out cost .and 
values. In order to do that to advantage, they 
must know where to buy near home, and study 
the offers made by different manufacturers. In 
doing this, don’t forget to correspond with the 
Royal Fertilizer Co., 40 Wick Block, Cleveland, O. 
No one can object to royalty when it means quality 
in a fertilizer. 
Any one who has been driving in the dark 
knows the need of a wagon lamp. But the great 
trouble has been that the lamp goes out just when 
most needed, and puts the driver in a more un¬ 
comfortable position than though he had no 
lamp. This difficulty has, however, been avoided 
in the Dietz lamp, which is so constructed that it 
cannot go out, even on the roughest roads. It is 
constructed on scientific principles, and is pro¬ 
vided with a spring by which it is instantly at¬ 
tached to the dashboard. If you had one of these 
lamps out just one dark night, you would never 
be without it again. Those who use them say so.

QUESTION—Who invented the 
first successful Reaper ? 
ANSWER -Cyrus Hah McCor¬ 
mick, in the year 1831. 
Q.—Who builds the best grain and 
grass-cutting machinery at the 
present time? 
A.—The McCormick Harvesting 
Machine Co. 
Q.—Were their machines operated 
in the World's Fair field tests? 
A.—They were. 
Q.—Were the machines of their 
competitors so operated? 
A.—They were not. 
Q.—Why? 
A.—Because they were afraid of 
the McCormick. 
Q.—What proportion of the world's 
annual supply of harvesting ma¬ 
chines is made by McCormick ? 
A.—About one-third. 
Q.—Why did the farmers of the 
world buy 60,000 McCormick 
Mowers in 1895? 
A.—Because the McCormick No. 
4 Steel Mower is the best grass 
cutter ever built—that's why. 
The new McCormick Light-Running 
Open Elevator Harvester and Binder, 
the McCormick No. 4 Steel Mower, 
and the McCormick Corn Harvester 
are unequalled for capacity, light- 
draft, efficiency of service and long 
life. Built, sold and guaranteed by the 
McCormick Harvesting Machine Co., 
Chicago.
