THE RURAL NEW-YORKER 
August 11 , 1906. 
HUMOROUS 
There’s a sewer called Madame Sussaud, 
Slow sewers she shows how to sew. 
Says she: “If, So-and-So, 
You sew so you'll sew slow; 
So you’ll only sew so-so. Sew so!” 
—Westminster Gazette. 
“Did you go to Billy Jones’ funeral?” 
“I did.” “As a mourner?” “Yes; some¬ 
body stole my hat!”—Illustrated Bits. 
Bobby (to stout uncle) : “Uncle, could¬ 
n’t a fellow have a fine Sunday dinner if 
he was as hungry as me an’ as roomy as 
you ?”—Tit-Bits. 
Country kids ; “Come on in wadin’, 
Willie. It’s fine!” City Boarder; 
“C-c-can’t. I’m ’fraid of getting my shoes 
and stockings all wet.”—Harper’s Bazar. 
“Well, doctor, do you think it is any¬ 
thing serious?” “Oh, not at all. It is 
merely a boil on the back of your neck, 
but I would advise you to keep your eye 
on it.”—Le Rire. 
“Senator, what do you think your pros¬ 
pects arc for being re-elected?” “Fine,” 
replied Senator Badger. “They’ve got to 
do it or I’ll tell how they elected me the 
first time.”—Milwaukee Sentinel. 
Visitor: “Why do you make some of 
your pies round and some of them 
square?” Wife: “Because my husband 
has been complaining of the sameness of 
his diet lately.”—Cleveland Leader. 
“Yes, that steam yacht over there has 
lost three owners within the past two 
years.” “Dear, dear. Water is a very 
treacherous element.' “Water! It isn’t 
water that kills ’em—it’s the other stuff.” 
—Cleveland Plain-Dealer. 
“Got the job o’ business cards done fur 
Doc Filler ?” asked the country editor. 
“Ya-as,” replied his foreman, “it’s done, 
but Hi made a leetle mistake a-sett.in’ it 
up. Mcbbe Doc’ll kick, but I reckon it 
ain’t so fur wrong.” “W’at is it?” “Hi 
made it ‘Prescription Carefully Confound¬ 
ed.”—Philadelphia Press. 
Farmer Stackrider (ruminatingly) : “I 
kinda b’lieve I’ll buy me one o’ these ’ere 
safety razors that I see adve’tised so 
much.” Mrs. Stackrider (peevishly) —: 
“Yes, that’s just-exactly like you, Jason! 
You ain’t got no more consideration for a 
toilin’ woman than a mill-stun! How do 
you s’pose I can rip up seams with a safe¬ 
ty razor?”—Puck. 
The New Arrival: “Do you take any 
exercise here before breakfast?” The na¬ 
tive: “Not often.” The New Arrival: 
“In Russia we have no regular exercise. 
Every man, however, does something to 
stir his blood.” The Native: “And what 
did you do?” The New Arrival: “I usu¬ 
ally went out and shot an admiral.”— 
Cleveland Plain Dealer. 
Employer: “There’s a man called Rob¬ 
inson at the foot of the High street owes 
us five pounds. You will call and collect 
the money.” Collector: “But there are 
about a dozen Robinsons in that part of 
the town. Which one is it?” Employer: 
“I’m really not sure, but you’ll know our 
Robinson at once by the fact that he 
kicks you out.”—Pearson’s Weekly.

Tl,e LEG SPREADERS 
Get a Machine 
You Can 
Depend Upon 
M ORE important than anything else is to 
get a spreader that will not be 
breaking down. Everything else counts for 
nothing if its parts are weak or not adapted to 
the service required of them. 
That’s the first great point in favor of the 
I. H. C. spreaders. They are designed to be 
working machines. 
They are built so they do hard work and heavy 
work—do it where fields are rough and un¬ 
even and hilly, as well as on the smoothest 
meadows. They stand the wear and tear. 
Don’t you ever believe that you will regret 
having bought a strong machine. 
Then the working devices of the I. H. C. 
spreaders must appeal to you. Everything is 
‘just to your hand.” 
Only one lever for everything. That’s 
something. Some spreaders have three or four. 
A vibrating rake levels the load. The I. H. C. 
are the only spreaders that have it. And you 
simply cannot spread evenly if manure does 
not come to cylinder level on top. 
Wide range of feed—just as fast or slow 
as you want to spread. 
Never any lack for power on cylinder. The 
heavy rear axle is turned by both hind wheels 
No lost motion. 
And you don’t have manure that is too wet 
or too dry, caked or frozen too hard, for the 
I. H. C. spreaders to handle perfectly. 
Turn as short as you please. The front 
wheels cut under. 
There are other things equally valuable you should know before you buy a spreader. 
You will make a mistake if you do not fully investigate the I-HC. 
The Corn King, return apron, as well as the Cloverleaf, endless apron, is made in three sizes.
