A Grafting Note.—E. H., from Stanton, 
M'ich., wants to know about grafting. I have 
always had good success with my work and 
have' worked at it every Spring for a good 
many years, being now past 60 years of age. 
There "is no need of cutting scions and keep¬ 
ing them. Cut them and put them right in 
any warm day from February until blossom¬ 
ing time, although rather risky after the bark 
gets loose. My father used to cut them in 
February and put them in cellar in damp 
dirt: the butts I mean. J. w. h.

MONEY IN POTATO CULTURE 
When “Iron Age” Implements Are Used in 
Planting, Cultivating and Spraying 
Below we show a cut of the “Iron Age” 
(Improved-Robbins) Potato Planter, which 
machine is used and highly recommended by 
the most critical and leading potato growers. 
The improvements recently added have 
made it still more valuable. It drops one hun¬ 
dred per cent, of the seed correctly. Makes 
no doubles, no misses and will not bruise or 
puncture the-seed. 
'Pile “Iron Age” (Improved-Robbins) Plant¬ 
er is adapted to all kinds of soil and may be 
used with or without the fertilizer distributor, 
as desired, making it a profitable machine for 
every condition of soil in every part of the 
country. 
With the “Iron Age” (Improved-Robbins) 
Planter, “Iron Age” Riding Cultivator and 
the “Iron Age” Four Row Sprayer the potato 
crop as a money maker is assured, and can 
easily be made one of the most profitable of 
crops year after j v ear. If you are interested 
in successful potato farming, write to the 
Bateman Manufacturing Company, Box W. 
102, Grenloch. N. J., and secure Iron Age, 
their new book for 1905, which explains in 
detail all of these improved machines, as also 
many others that save time, labor and money. 
Send a postal card to-day and look the matter 
up before spring planting time.
