THE RURAL NEW-YORKER 
August 17, 1907. 
HUMOROUS 
The baby rolls upon the floor, 
..Kicks up his tiny feet, 
And pokes his toes Into his mouth, 
Thus making both ends meet. 
The butcher slays the pensive pig, 
Cuts off his ears and feet, 
And grinds them in a sausage big, 
Thus making both ends meat. 
—Cornell Widow. 
“Is Jones a man of more than average 
intelligence?” “Yes. His wife died ten 
years ago, and he’s still a widower.” 
Judge. 
Short: “There goes one of my pre¬ 
ferred creditors.” Long: “Why pre¬ 
ferred?” Short: “He never asks me for 
money.”—Chicago Daily News. 
Percy: “Are you still keeping up your 
deep-breathing exercises, old chap?” 
Ferd: “I have discontinued it for a 
time, dear boy. I am rooming next door 
to a glue factory just at present.”— 
Judge. 
‘ An’ have ye dishcovered what’s the 
matter with me, doctor?” “Dear me, yes. 
You have an aggravated case of perica- 
pillar oethinattoemmia.” “Sure, an’ 
that’s just what it feels like.”—Harper’s 
Bazar. 
“What! marry my daughter, sir?” 
cried the rich old man; “why, she’s my 
only child.” The young man smiled. 
“Oh, that’s all right,” he said, undaunted; 
“you see, sir, one was all I wanted.”— 
Tit-Bits. 
Mrs. Dashaway: “Yes, while we were 
in Egypt we visited the Pyramids. They 
were literally covered with hieroglyphics.” 
Mrs. Newrich: “Ugh! Wasn’t you afraid 
some of ’em would get on you?”—Phila¬ 
delphia Record. 
Mr. Justcott : “Why, whlat are you cry¬ 
ing about, dear?” Mrs. Justcott: “Oh, 
George, the mice have got into the pan¬ 
try and eaten up a beautiful custard pie 
I made myself.” Mr. Justcott: “There 
there. Don’t cry over a few little mice.” 
—Cleveland Leader. 
“Grandpa had the lumbago the other 
day.” “Indeed! What did they do for 
him?” “Oh, they used th'e old-fashioned 
remedies. They soaked his feet in a tub, 
and put ten homemade plasters and poul¬ 
tices on him. Then they dosed him with 
herb teas until he was red as a beet. 
After the lumbago was gone tbey put 
him in bed and sent for the doctor.” 
“Gracious, what did they need the doctor 
for?” “Why, to cure him of the effects 
of the old-fashioned remedies.”—Tit-Bits.

ROOFING 
ON TOP OF EVERYTHING 
That is just where Amatite roofing 
should be—on top of all your build¬ 
ings, keeping them free from leaks 
year after year. 
For all-around service and dura¬ 
bility, it is unapproached by any 
other. It is built of materials that 
have been tried and tested under 
every possible weather condition ;— 
each part is tested — the whole is 
tested before it goes to you. 
Is that done with shingles, tin or 
ordinary ready roofings? How 
many bad shingles do you find in a 
bundle ? How often do you have to 
paint or coat the smooth ready roof¬ 
ings to keep them tight ? Think 
about these things — and when 
you need a new roof, you’ll buy 
Amatite — the roofing with a real 
mineral surface, which does away 
with painting and repairs. 
When you once cover your build¬ 
ings with Amatite, you have no fur¬ 
ther trouble or expense. 
Any one can lay it—no skilled 
labor required. 
FREE SAMPLE 
Let us send you a Free Sample 
and you’ll see at once how much bet¬ 
ter it is than the ordinary roofing. 
A postal card will bring it.

High-Grade 
Farm 
Wagons 
P OOD wagons are absolutely necessary 
VT on the farm. 
Remember that paint may hide a multi¬ 
tude of deficiencies—a lot of poor materi¬ 
als, particularly poor wood stock—and 
that the well painted but cheap and 
poorly constructed wagon may not be a 
bargain at any price. Break-downs are 
expensive, repairs cause delay, and in the 
end the cheap wagon will prove a most 
expensive one. 
Iron of the best quality, and wood stock 
of desired toughness, thor¬ 
oughly seasoned, are required 
for the big loads, rough roads, 
ruts, slips and slides that try 
the farm wagon. 
The iron and wood must be 
put together properly to give 
the greatest durability. 
That’s not all; this excellence of ma¬ 
terial and building must be combined 
with light running qualities to make the 
completely successful farm wagon. 
All these requirements you will find In 
the International Harvester Company 
line of farm wagons. 
The Weber for more than fifty years 
has been among the best and most favor¬ 
ably known of America’s farm wagons. 
The most carefully selected and sea¬ 
soned materials with superior construc- 
Weber 
Columbus 
Bettendorf 
tion in every part make It suit every con¬ 
dition of wagon service. 
The Columbus is a strong, well con¬ 
structed and durable wagon, such as will 
well meet the needs of the great army of 
farm wagon buyers and users. 
The Bettendorf is anew and valuable 
improvement in wagon construction, the 
front and rear gears being made entirely 
of pressed steel; therefore, the axles, 
bolsters and other gear parts are free 
from swelling, shrinking, rot, etc. Ideal 
for hot or dry climates. ■ 
They are the only steel con¬ 
structed farm wagon gears on 
the market. These wagons 
are built to last. Almost any 
wagon can be guaranteed for 
a year, but the point that 
should always be considered 
Is how many years Is the wagon 
likely to do good service? Think 
it over. 
It makes little difference which of these 
wagons you buy. You will make sure of 
wagon value and wagon satisfaction in 
any event. You simply can’t buy any 
thing better at any price. 
Call on the local agent or write today 
for illustrated pamphlet, describing the 
wagon you prefer.
