Pushing his lawn mower hard.

Asked: “Well, out to cut your grass?” 
“No.” said Smith, “I'm herding whales 
In the midst of Arctic gales."

Musing over what Smith said.

it is laid. 
It doesn’t pay to patch 
old roofs when you can get 
a new Amatite roof at scarcely 
1 any greater cost. 
Amatite is easy to lay and 
can be nailed on over the old roof without trouble* 
Get a sample of Amatite and do a little investigating. It 
won’t do any harm, and when your roof needs attention 
or you erect a new building you will be glad to use it.

You Don’t Get Full Value Out of the 
Manure When You Spread It by Hand 
S 
PREADING with a machine pulverizes and makes the manure fine, and the first shower washes it all into 
the soil. There is no loss, none of it washed away. It is in condition for the roots of grains and grasses 
to lay hold of it and get the benefit from it. You ought to spread manure with an 
I. H. C. Manure Spreader 
You will be able to cover twice the surface and 
get practically double the value from the manure 
that you are getting by hand spreading. 
It is the only way to keep up the fertilityof your 
soil without buying commercial fertilizers. You are 
not only able to keep your farm in a high state of 
fertility with the manure produced upon it, but the 
work of spreading the manure is cut in two. 
The I.H.C. manure spreaders are right working, 
light draft machines, any one of which will spread 
the manure of your farm for many years with the 
least annoyance and the least possible outlay for 
repairs. The Cloverleaf is an endless apron spreader. 
The Corn King and the Kemp 20th Century are of 
the return apron style. You can spread slow or fast, 
thick or thin as wanted. Each spreader is made in 
several different sizes. 
Any International Agent in your town will supply you 
with a spreader catalog. Call on him or write direct to 
us for any further information you may desire.
