HUMOROUS 
“Why roam the flies m.v bald head o'er, 
As ff it were a park?" 
“Because, dear sir. a fly, like death, 
E'er loves a shining mark." 
—Chicago Tribune. 
“Waiter, a dozen oysters.” “But there 
isn't no ‘r’ in the month sir.” “Is this a 
spelling bee or a restaurant?”—Pick-Me- 
Up. 
Bacon : “Are you doing anything to 
relieve the suffering of your neighbors?” 
Egbert: “Yes, I’ve just sold my phono¬ 
graph!”—Yonker Statesman. 
“My friend Jinks says he can’t catch 
up with his orders.” “Is he a manufac¬ 
turer?” “Oh, no; just a married man 
with five grown daughters.”-Louisville 
Courier-Journal. 
“Excuse me,” said the city boarder in 
the country, “but in which part of the 
garden does the succotash grow? I 
thought I would like to pick some.”—Mil¬ 
waukee Sentinel. 
“Human bein’s,” said Uncle Eben, “is 
a heap like fishes, What looks like good 
luck very often turns out to be nuffin’ but 
a piece of bait wif a hook in it.”— 
Washington Star.

Not All Manure Spreaders Pay 
The Idea of spreading manure properly Is such 
a good one and the benefits derived are so great 
you are apt to think any spreader will give you 
these benefits—that a spreader is a spreader. 
There is where you may make a mistake, for 
some spreaders are only trouble makers and 
the second season they are not taken out of the 
shed. To make them work takes too much 
time and costs too much money. 
If you get that kind of spreader you’re apt to 
conclude that spreaders are made to sell and 
not to spread manure. 
SUCCESS SPREADERS 
have 28 years’ experience back of them— 
thousands of them are spreading manure on 
the best farms in the country and are giving 
no trouble. 
Twenty-eight years has eliminated the trouble 
making features—out of a hundred new de¬ 
vices and schemes that we have tried perhaps 
ninety have proved more harmful than helpful. 
They make good talking points but they don’t 
help spread manure. SUCCESS Spreaders 
are made to spread manure. 
When you get ready to buy a manure spreader, 
(and every farmer should have one) first write 
for our spreader book, it will help you; next go 
to your local dealer and see a Success Spreader 
but don’t buy one until you have asked a man 
who has used one. He knows.
