is being made from yea cO year. Both the Why and the How of 
the question of Feeding ~ops is becoming better understood

Every Advance in the Pglbtical Art of Applying Fertilizers, 
Every New Fact Demonstrated in the Science of Plant Feeding 
UNITE IN TESTIFYING TO THE MERITS OF THE 
MAPES MANURES 
The farmer, trucker, fruit grower who use the MAPES MANURES, the official chemist who analyzes them, and the State Experiment Station 
scientists who test them, agree as to the special merits of the MAPES MANURES, and as to their profitable use. They have stood the test of practical 
experienci for over half a century in all varieties of soils (fhe lightest to the heaviest), of crops, of climates, from Maine to the West Indies and California. 
During the past year, 1904, the leading agricultural papers, including the American Agriculturist, Rural New Yorker, New England Homestead, 
Orange Judd Farmer (Chicago), Country Life and others, have contained full reports of visits by their editors and representatives to the farms of some of 
the leading representatives of the most successful growers on a large scale of fruit, nursery stock, truck, special crops, including cantaloupes (Rocky 
Fords 60 acres), strawberries 200 to 300 acres, orange groves 500 acres and upwards, asparagus 200 to 300 acres, etc. These growers, whose 
methods have been described in our pamphlets, have used the Mapes Complete Manures for many years, some of them 500 tons and upwards annually. In 
cases where the soil is extreme’y light, in cantaloupe growing, they use some purchased farm and stable manure in addition to the fertilizer. This is more 
particularly in the beginning to conserve moisture. As a rule they have purchased no barn or stable manures for many years.

The Farmers 
"Hand Wagon is the original 
^ low-down wagon. It was invented by „ 
a farmer to make farm work lighter- He knew 
Thy experience the hard work of loading and unload- 
ling high-wheeled wagons. He wanted a wagon that 
Iwould be low-down-easy to load and easy to draw—that 
Iwould roll over soft ground without cutting in. The 
FARMERS HANDY WAGON 
is the perfected result of his efforts to solve the farm wagon 
problem. We are making a wagon that is especially fitted for 
all sorts of farm work, that can be sold at a reasonable price, 
and warranted for five years. All dealers sell it. It takes 
I quite a catalogue to tell all about it, and it makes mighty | 
Jinteresting reading. Write direct to us for a copy. It's .tree i
