THE RURAL NEW-YORKER 
August 19, 1905. 
HUMOROUS 
There once was a man with a heard, 
Who said, “It is just as I feared!— 
Two Owls and a Hen 
Four Larks and a Wren 
Have all built their nests in my beard.” 
—Edward Lear. 
Dressmaker: “And would you have leg 
of mutton sleeves, madam?” Customer: 
“Most certainly not. I am a vegetarian!” 
—Punch. 
Madam : “Be sure to put plenty of nuts 
in the cake.” Cook: “I’ll crack no more 
nfjts to-day. My jaw hurts me already.”— 
Harper’s Ba/.ar. 
“Your hair is coming out on top, sir,” 
said the barber. “Good!” exclaimed Pep- 
prey. “I knew it was in me. Now, for 
goodness sake, don’t talk to it or it will 
crawl hack again.”—Philadelphia Press. 
Visitor: “You don’t know who I am. do 
you, Jimmy?” Jimmy: “Naw.” Visitor: 
“Aha! I know who you are, though.” Jim¬ 
my: “Aw, that ain't nothin’—I know that 
myself!”—Cleveland Leader. 
“Rather hard to lose your daughter, 
eh,” said the guest at the wedding. “No,” 
replied the bride’s father; “it did look as 
if it was going to be hard at one time, but 
she finally landed this fellow just as we 
were giving up all hope.”—Philadelphia 
Ledger. 
“Mrs Spuddsworth, it seems to me.” 
said Mrs. Oldcastle, “is rather inclined to 
loquacity.” “Still,” replied her hostess, as 
she straightened the $1,900 rug, “for a 
person as tall as her it ain’t so bad as 
though she was shorter.”—Chicago Rec¬ 
ord-Herald. 
Mrs. Jackson : “Wal, parson, I knows 
dc Bible says de meek shall inherit dc 
earth ;an’ ’deed I tries to be meek as I kin !” 
Parson Polhemus: “Dat’s right, sistah! 
Dat’s right!” Mrs. Jackson: “But it’ll be 
jest mah luck, when it comes time fo’ me 
to inherit de earth, dar’ll be municipal 
ownership.”—Puck.

BUCKEYE 
Combined Grain and 
Fertilizer OiscOrill 
WITH DISC-HOE SEEDING DEVICE 
A BUCKEYE drill that embodies more excellent features than any other drill 
we know of. The double run grain feed Is “ as accurate as the sun” and will not 
skip, choke or bunch. The fertilizer distributor, made of glass, is a distinctive 
feature of the Buckeye drills. It will not break, nor rust or corrode from the acids 
in commercial fertilizers. Guaranteed to sow all kinds of commercial fertilizers 
and fine manures, and does not grind the fertilizer into paste. The principles of the 
disc and hoe drills are combined in the “Disc-Hoe” seeding device; the hoe evenly 
and exactly depositingthe seed and fertilizer in the perfect furrow made by the disc. 
This drill has a dozen other features of sterling merit, and is one of the leaders 
of the famous Buckeye line. It will pay you to examine it at your dealer’s, or 
write us for a complete catalogue of Grain Drills and Cultivators.
