THE RURAL NEW-YORKER 
September 25, 1909. 
HUMOROUS 
Hope Is the thing 
That plants tlie seeds; 
But diggin’s what 
Knocks out the weeds'. 
—Boston Herald. 
“Do you take this woman for better 
or worse?” “I do, jedge, I do. But I 
hopes we kin kinder strike an average.” 
—Washington Herald. 
Postmaster: “This letter is too 
heavy. You’ll have to put on another 
stamp.” Coon: “Sail, wall that make it 
any lightah ?”—Princeton Tiger. 
“Our tmiti hit a bear on the way 
down.” “Was the bear on the track?” 
“No; the train had to go into the woods 
after him.”—Kansas City Journal. 
Hotel Clerk : “Just sign your name, 
please. The other guests would like to 
register.” “Don’t try to hurry me, 
young man. I don’t never sign nothin’ 
that I ain’t read carefully.”—Life. 
“There are times when I envy my 
hair,” remarked the man who had failed 
in seventeen different enterprises. “Be¬ 
cause why?” queried his wife. “Be¬ 
cause it is coming out on top,” explained 
he of the many failures.—Chicago Daily 
News. 
Uncle Eben : “If ye ever visit New 
York and git tired walkin’ around the 
city, don’t ye go into th’ Stock Ex¬ 
change to rest!” Aunt Martha: “Why 
not ?” Uncle Eben : “Gracious sakes ! 
there they charge forty thousand dol¬ 
lars for a seat!”—Judge. 
Proprietor of the Clarion (angrily) : 
“What did you mean by telling ‘H. B.,’ 
the man who asked if there was money 
in mushrooms, that' there would be 
more money for him in toadstools?” 
Editor of the “Question and Answer 
Department” (with air of one who 
knows he is in the right) : “Because, 
sir, I looked up ‘IT. B.’ in the directory 
and found he was an undertaker.”— 
Puck. 
A small boy was hoeing corn in a 
sterile field by the roadside, when a 
passerby stopped and said : “ ’Pears to 
me your corn is rather small.” “Cer¬ 
tainly,” said the boy. “It’s dwarf corn.” 
“But it looks yaller.” “Certainly. We 
planted the yaller kind.” “But it looks 
as if you wouldn’t get more than half 
a crop.” “Of course not,” said the boy. 
“We planted lier on the shares.”—De¬ 
troit News. 
The householder smothered his wrath, 
and descended to the basement. “Are 
you the plumber?” he asked of the 
grimy-looking individual who was tink¬ 
ering with the pipes in the cellar. “Yes, 
guv’nor,” answered the man. “Been 
long in the trade?” “’Bout a year, 
guv’nor.” “Ever make mistakes?” 
“Bless yer, no, guv’nor.” “Oh, then I 
suppose it’s all right. I imagined you 
had connected up the wrong pipes', for 
the chandelier in the drawing room is 
spraying like a fountain, and the bath¬ 
room tap’s on fire!”—Weekly Tele¬ 
graph.

and it doesn’t take the up-to-date farmer long to discover them 
and their value to him. It is the number of practical features 
embodied in an engine that determines the degree of satisfaction it will 
give to its owner. All gasoline engines have some good points, or there 
would be no sale for them and they would soon be taken off the market. 
Some engines have more good points than others, that’s why some 
engines are better than others. 
Waterloo Boy 
have all the good points that go into any gasoline engine, besides many exclusive, patented fea¬ 
tures that increase their efficiency and durability; make them marvels of simplicity and wonder¬ 
fully economical engines to operate. That’s why we say the Waterloo Boy is the best engine 
for farm use. 
. ,„ Yo , u ., can a Wnterl( >o Boy for less money than you will bo asked for engines containing 
half of the good points wo build into our engines. Besides we will send a Waterloo Boy to any 
responsible farmer and let him try It for thirty days on his farm doing whatever work he has to 
do. W e will pay the freight both ways and return his money if after a month's use he can¬ 
not pick out the good points for himself—if he can’t see that it is the one and only engine that 
will give him complete satisfaction. 
Now, when you buy a gasoline engine you had better be sure that the engine you get was 
made by a concern that makes gasoline engines and nothing else. Our efforts are all directed 
toward making and keeping the Waterloo Boy the best engine in the world. We have 
no other interests—no side lines. 
Don’t you want to try a Waterloo Boy? Don’t you want to see how much labor 
and time it will save you? Kemember wo are offering you a free trial for 30 A

FEARLESS 
Manure Spreader 
Why put money in a wide, cumbersome, 
heavy manure spreader which distributes 
only the width of Its own box, when the 
“Ff.ari.ess” spreader, built narrow nnd 
linn dy, covers a strip six and a half feet 
wide. 
The “Ff.ari.ess” is tho most economical 
spreader built—saves time nnd horse power. 
Tracks with an ordinary farm wagon and 
passes any gate or bar-way without trouble. 
Tho “Fearless” circular beater shown be¬ 
low is the key to “Fearless” superiority. 
Its circular form makes It spread outside 
the wheels. That means more ground 
covered per load and no driving overspread 
manure. Investigate tho “Fkari.kss” 
spreader before you buy—It will pay you.

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 otight 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.
