THE RURAL NEW-YORKER 
April 21, 1906. 
HUMOROUS 
“Yes/* said she thoughtfully, “ttty hus¬ 
band is the best man in the world. But,” 
she added still more thoughtfully, ‘‘that 
isn’t saying much.”—The Australasian. 
“Yes,” remarked the professor. “I rather 
pride myself on the discovery of another 
hypothesis.” “Indeed,” replied Mrs. Cum- 
rox, a little doubtfully. “I had an idea 
they were quite extinct.”—Washington 
Star. 
“Well,” said Yuss, “I’ve taken a pow¬ 
der for my headache, a pellet for my liver, 
and a capsule for my gouty foot. Now. 
what puzzles me is how do the things 
know the right place to go to after they 
get inside.”—Philadelphia American. 
“Waiter,” said the guest in a cheap res¬ 
taurant, “what is all that noise I hear? 
Is there a pile driver at work out in the 
back yard?” “No, sah,” answered the 
waiter. “Dat am de cook preparin’ you’ 
tendahloin steak, sah !”—Credit Lost. 
Dying Uncle: “I’m sorry, nephew, that 
you are not interested in religion and 
charities.” Expectant Nephew: “Oh, but 
I am, I am! There’s nothing I am so 
wrapped up in.’ Dying Uncle: “That’s 
good—that’s good. Then you won’t be 
hurt when I tell you that I’ve left my 
entire fortune to the church.”—Cleveland 
Leader. 
Hostess (to guests, who have come to 
spend a few days) : “We’re so glad 
you’ve been able to come, Mrs. Gushing- 
ton ; but I do hope we are going to have 
better weather, or I am afraid you won’t 
enjoy yourselves much.” Mrs. Gushing- 
ton : “Oh, but, my dear Lady Boreham, 
we didn’t come here to enjoy ourselves. 
We came to see you.”—Punch. 
When you write advertisers mention The 
I t. N.-Y. and you’ll get a quick reply and 
“a square deal.” See guarantee, page 14.

a new plan which saves the

for the Knodig Pitless only one

fc w ale in the world is sold this way.

Bu ^ i-j lould you pay more tor the priv¬ 
ilege ?? ^ ng scales through a third party ? 
I • there a single good rea¬ 
son why you should not deal 
directly with the factory ? 
You buy Stoves, Incu¬ 
bators. Organs, Buggies, 
Dators. organs, Huggtes, . 
and a hundred other things 
that way— A/ 
—And save money by do¬ 
ing it 1 Then, why not—scales? 
* * * 
I will sell you a brandjnew 1906 model Knodig 
Pitless Scale direct from the factory for about 
half the price of a pit scale. 
And it will be a better scale, too. 
Because the Knodig sets above ground, and 
all the working partsare inside the eight inch 
steel frame. 
No pit is necessary, which saves you many 
annoying and expensive features, such as— 
—Digging and walling the pit, renewing 
broken and rotted timbers. 
—Dipping water and breaking ice, replacing 
rusted parts caused by the dampness of a pit. 
—Removing platform to get at the trash and 
dirt that constantly accumulate. 
Old style pit scale may be all right for those 
who can afford them, and don't mind the trou¬ 
ble and expense of keeping them in repair,— 
—But if you can save about half in price and 
have notpit to dig—no big lymber bills—no ex¬ 
pensive carpenter jobs for foundations— 
Why shouldn't you buy a Knodig ? 
* * * * 
The Knodig Pitless is movable. 
You can easily take it down and re-set it any¬ 
where on the premises, wherever the work may 
happen to be. i 
It is as accurate as any high priced Pit Scale, 
because it is tested. as-they are, according to 
the U. S. Standard of Weights. 
The scales are sealed by an expert sealer. 
And finally, to prevent any possibility of er¬ 
ror. all KNODIG PITLESS SCALES are care¬ 
fully passed upon by an Inspector of Weights, 
before shipment. 
So, you see, the Knodig 
Pitless Scales must be ac¬ 
curate. 
We guarantee them un¬ 
reservedly for ten years. 
^ Other scales are guaran- 
v teed only on condition that 
heavy timbers must be kept 
in good condition, etc., etc. 
# • * 
I am willing to prove that the Knodig Pitless 
is the scale you want. 
I will send a set to you, or to any responsible 
Farmer, Stockman, Elevator Man, or Grain 
Dealer, on a month’s free trial. 
You have nothing to pay until you are satis¬ 
fied,—no deposit,—no notes to sign.—nothing 
to do but give the Knodig a fair, honest trial 
at my risk. 
If it doesn’t please you, just' send it back, 
and I will pay freight both ways and the ex¬ 
pense of setting it up on your place.

Scale Catalogue.
