THE RURAL NEW-YORKER 
September 8, 1906. 
HUMOROUS 
Wouldn’t be much grumblin' 
Anywhere, I guess, 
And but little weepin’ 
Or unhappiness, 
If our wives would only 
Find some way (o quit 
Frettin* over troubles 
That ain’t struck ’em yit. 
—Chicago Record-IIerald. 
“I always do my hardest work before 
breakfast.” “What’s that?” “Getting up.” 
—Sketchy Bits. 
“Are you a follower of the faith cure 
school?” “Sure. I’m an undertaker.” 
—Cleveland Leader. 
“Why has old Gotrox made a new 
will?” “His doctor advised a change of 
heir.”—Harper’s Weekly. 
Knicker: “I think the world owes 
every man a living.” Bocker: “Perhaps; 
but he has to take it out in trade.”— 
New York Sun. 
“And now,” said the friend of other 
days, “you are rich and independent.” 
“Well,” answered Mr. Cumrox, “I am 
rich all right. But when mother and 
the girls are around I don’t take chances 
on being too independent.”—Washington 
Star. 
“I’se worried to death ’bout my daugh¬ 
ter Mary Magdalene,” said an old negro 
woman to the curate of the parish. “She 
jes’ lives up in the clouds de whole time.” 
“Well, there’s no great harm in that,” 
replied the minister. “Yaas, suh, dere sut- 
ingly is. Suppose she gits hit by one o’ 
dese yerc flyin’ machines?”—Philadelphia 
Ledger. 
Mrs. Hornbeck (in the midst of her 
reading: “Mercy sakes alive! Here is 
an item about a surgeon, over at Bigger- 
ville, removin’ an epithelioma from a 
man’s lip.” Farmer Hornbeck: “Well, 
I sh’u’d judge it was about time for 
people to quit using such long words 
when it requires a doctor to git ’em out.” 
—Puck.

R. N.-Y. and you'll get a quick reply and

combination of these is the mo ^ £ able 
and waterproof roofing on the et. 
Now, of course, we can’t fHKs you 
believe all this by just saying so. We’ve 
got to have your request for a free sample. 
When you get the sample, you can see 
for yourself what Amatite is made of. 
You can find out all about the stuff that 
is in it. 
Another important thing is the fact 
that Amatite, having a mineral surface, 
never requires coating or painting. The 
mineral surface is more durable than any 
liquid coating could possibly he. The 
work is all done when the roof is once 
laid. No attention is required afterward.

The I. H. C. and Other Spreaders 
It will pay you to 
get right down to 
cases and compare 
the I.H.C. Spreaders 
with other spread¬ 
ers before you buy 
Y OU will find, first of all, that the I. H. C. 
spreaders handle all kinds of manure 
satisfactorily, under all conditions. 
Yon will find that by their use you will get just 
about double value from your manure. 
You will find them the best designed and the 
simplest of all spreaders. And that will mean 
not only less work and trouble in operating but 
much less breakage. 
Then, there is their superb strength—not cum¬ 
brous, unnecessary weight but strong where 
strength is needed and light where there is 
little or no strain. 
There has been nothing overlooked that 
makes for light draft, easy handling, good 
work or durability. 
Are you disposed favorably toward some 
feature of another machine? You will find no 
device or contrivance essential to right spread¬ 
ing of manure but that is employed in its best 
form on the I. H. C. spreaders. 
And you will find features on the I. II. C. 
spreaders that you will find on no other 
spreaders. 
Look at the vibrating rake which levels your 
load and brings manure up square to the 
cylinder. No other spreader has this device 
and yet you absolutely cannot spread manure 
uniformly without it. 
Examine the superb steel wheels, broad Cres, 
staggered spokes, clutches in both hind vAieels, 
front ones cutting under for short turning. _ 
The one lever, convenient to your right 
hand, is far more desirable than a different 
lever for every movement to be made. 
These are but simple suggestions. Are they 
not worth looking into? There are lots of 
other points just as important. That’s why 
we say, compare the I. H. C. spreaders with 
other spreaders before you buy. 
These spreaders are made in three sizes for 
each of the two types, Cloverleaf.endlessapron, 
and Corn King, return apron, and meetrequire- 
ments of all sections and all classes of work.
