problem is solved for 
everybody with the 
latest steel Hercules 
Stump Puller. It is the

lerandis the only one

Hitch On—The Stump is Bound to Gome 
The strength is there and the power is there. You may have had trouble with iron pullers, 
but this Hercules genuine steel puller is a different matter. It has 400% more strength than 
the best iron puller ever made, and with our triple-power attachment a one-third greater pull 
is developed. The Hercules is in a class by itself. 
It is the only stump puller tkat is guaranteed for three years. The 
only stump puller made -with double safety ratchets, making them doubly 
safe. The only stump puller having all bearings and working parts 
turned, finished and machined, reducing friction, increasing power 
and making it extremely light running.

Look At This Table 
You will see why we have made the Hercules of steel. The table 
gives the strength per square inch of each different material. Steel is 
the only material for the Hercules. 
Don’t Risk Dynamite 
It’s dangerous and it’s costly. Besides, it only shatters the 
stump and leaves the roots in the ground to grow again. The 
Hercules pulls roots and all, big stumps and small stumps, 
good sized green trees, hedgerows, etc. It is the machine 
for satisfactory work and keeping down the expense. Investi¬ 
gate it now. Our little books are eye openers for people who 
have clearing to do. Let us send them to you.

Made of wire that is 
all life and strength — wire 
that stretches true and tight 
^ and yields just enough under impact 
to give back every jolt and jam it 
receives. 
Made of materials selected and tested 
in all the stages from our own mines, 
through our own blast furnaces and rolling 
and wire mills, to the finished product. Our 
employment of specially adapted metals is 
of great importance in fence wire; a wire 
that must be hard yet not brittle; stiff and springy yet 
flexible enough for splicing—best and most durable 
fence material on earth. 
To obtain these and in addition apply a quality of gal¬ 
vanizing that will effectually protect against weather 
conditions, is a triumph of the wiremaker’s art. 
These arecombined in the American and Ellwood 
fences—the product of the greatest mines, steel 
producing plants and wire mills in the world. 
And with these good facilities and the old 
and skilled employes back of them, we 
maintain the highest standard of ex¬ 
cellence possible for human skill 
and ingenuity to produce.

Every Farmer ought to 
know more about Paint 
Good paint is one of the farmer’s best friends. Paint pro¬ 
tects what he has and makes it earn more. 
A dilapidated barn will protect neither stock, crops nor 
implements. Dilapidated implements will not do the best work. 
Exposure to weather causes the greatest dilapidation, and good 
paint is the greatest preventive of the effects of exposure to 
weather. 
The successful farmer uses paint upon his house, barn, 
agricultural implements and wagons to make these things last 
longer. The longer they last, the more the profit from his farm. 
It is not enough to apply paint. It is not even enough to 
apply good paint. The important thing is to apply the right 
paint. 
Sherwin-Williams Paints and Varnishes offer to the farmer 
paints and varnishes each one the best for its particular purpose 
—wagon paint, implement paint, barn paint, paints for the in¬ 
side and outside of the house, each the best of its kind and each 
peculiarly adapted to its use. 
This Valuable, Book Is Free 
A book, free to all farmers, tells all about these, explains Uie profit in using the right 
paint rightly, and tells where Sherwin-Williams Paints can be had.
