the lady with the gold-rimmed eye¬ 
glasses at the door of the farmhouse 
“Sure!” replied the woman in the door, 
wiping her chin with her gingham 
apron; “are you lookin’ for board, 
ma’am ?”—Yonkers Statesman. 
“I hear. Mrs. Blowhard, that your 
daughter is quite an accomplished violin¬ 
ist.” “Oh, yes, indeed she is,” returned 
Mrs. Blowhard, rolling up her eyes ec¬ 
statically. “She plays divinely on the 
violin, and accompanies herself on the 
piano.”—Lippincott’s. 
“Now, Willie Bright,” said the Sun 
day-school teacher, “can you tell me 
what a prophet is?” “Sure!” replied 
Willie. “A prophet is one of those fel¬ 
lows who’s always goin’ around lookin’ 
for a chance to say ‘I told you so.’ ”— 
Philadelphia Press. 
“Why didn’t you vote for my friend?” 
asked the politician. “He’s the most 
popular man in the State.” “That’s the 
reason,” answered Farmer Corntossel. 
“I never yet see a man that made a bus¬

“Why in the world are you carrying 
two umbrellas?” somebody asked the 
forgetful man, and he looked amazed at 
the question. “I should think you’d 
guess that easily, knowing me so well,” 
he said. “I'm carrying two so that if 
I forget and leave one anywhere, I shall 
still have the other!”—Youth’s Compan¬

Uncle (to little Bertie, five years 
old, who is being taken off to bed) : 
“Good night, Bertie. Of course, you 
always remember your aunts and uncles 
in your prayers.” Bertie: “Oh, yes, 
Uncle Felix. Shall I tell you what I 
say? I say, ‘God bless Aunt Kitty and 
make her thin; and God bless Uncle 
James and make him fat; and God bless 
Uncle Felix and, what do you want to 
be—fat or thin?”—Punch. 
A country clergyman on his round cf 
visits interviewed a youngster as to his 
acquaintance with Bible stories. “My 
lad.” he said, “you have, of course, heard 
of the parables?” “Yes, sir,” shyly an¬ 
swered the boy, whose mother had in¬ 
ducted him in sacred history. “Yes, 
sir.” “Good!” said the clergyman. 
“Now, which of them do you like the 
best of all?” The boy squirmed, but at 
last, heeding his mother’s frowns, he 
replied: “I guess I like that one where 
somebody loafs and fishes.”—Woman’s

W OULDN’T you like to get all 
the value out of the manure 
~the only fertilizer pro¬ 
duced on the farm? 
There’s an alarming waste in the 
way manure is ordinarily handled. It 
is an easy matter to get double the 
value that most farmers are now get¬ 
ting from it. 
Don’t let it lie in piles in the barn¬ 
yard indefinitely, to ferment and burn 
up from a third to a half of its fertil¬ 
izing content. 
Don’t allow the rains to drain and wash 
away into the streams the rich liquids 
that are so valuable for plant food. 
Don't haul it out and throw it in piles 
in the fields to waste. 
Haul it out as it is produced, when it is 
fresh, while it is in its most valuable 
form, while it contains all its fertilizing 
elements, and distribute it evenly and 
thinly so that the land will receive every 
particle of its fertilizing content. 
The Kemp 20th Century and Corn King 
return apron spreaders and the Clover- 
leaf endless apron spreader are all made 
exceptionally strong and durable. The 
quantity of manure to be spread is regu¬ 
lated and easily controlled, each spreader 
having different speeds, ranging from 
slow to very fast. 
A special feature of theCorn King and 
Cloverleaf spreaders is the vibrating 
rake to level the manure, bringing it up 
square to the beater. 
In the Corn King and Cloverleaf spread¬ 
ers the apron is driven from both sides, 
in the 20th Century, from the center by a 
positive worm drive. In each the apron 
is moved, without binding, friction or 
twisting, and without possibility of break¬ 
age. The 20th Century spreader has ex¬ 
ceptionally strong wooden wheels, the 
Corn King and Cloverleaf wheels are 
steel. All have broad tires and on all, the 
front wheels cut under to permit short 
turning. The draft is as light as can be 
secured in any spreader which provides 
the necessary strength to sustain the 
proper working apparatus. 
All these spreaders are made in sizes 
to meet the needs of the users, and can 
be secured by calling upon local dealer. 
Call 6n the local agent for catalogs and 
colored hangers illustrating and describ¬ 
ing these machines, or write for little 
booklet on wasteful practices on the 
farm, or copy of ‘‘Farm Science,’’which 
you will be thoroughly interested in 
reading.
