THE RURAL NEW-VORKER 
October 24. 1008. 
HUMOROUS 
She had a flat and so her hat 
Could never get inside; 
But in the hall against the wall 
It stood on edge, some six feet tall, 
And was her joy and pride. 
—Philadelphia Ledger. 
“It takes a baby mos’ two years to 
learn to talk,” said Uncle Eben, “an’ 
den it takes de res’ of its lifetime to 
learn to keep f’um talkin’ too much.”— 
Washington Star. 
“I s’pose it costs a lot to live in New: 
York.” “I should imagine so,” wearily 
responded the adopted New Yorker, 
“judging from what it costs to merely 
exist.”—Washington Herald. 
Trotter: “When young Biffkins left 
college a few years ago he declared he 
was going to forge his way to the front. 
Did be make good?” Homer: “As a 
forger, yes. He’s now occupying a front 
row cell in the penitentiary.”—Chicago 
Daily News. 
Editorial Writer: “Do you remem¬ 
ber what Mark Antony’s last address 
was? I’m referring to it in an article.” 
Magazine Editor: “Well, I never did 
know the exact address, but anyhow, 
lie's still living in the same old place.”— 
Chicago Daily News. 
Thump-rattley-bang went the piano. 
“What are you trying to play, Jane?” 
called out her father from the next 
room. “It’s an exercise from my new 
instruction-book, * First Steps in Mu¬ 
sic.' ” she answered. “Well, I knew you 
were playing with your feet,” lie said, 
grimly. “Don’t step so heavily on the 
keys; it disturbs my thoughts.”—Bos¬ 
ton Home Journal.

FEARLESS 
The beater — that Is the vital! 
thing about any manure spreader. 
| And it is the great difference between 
the circular beater of the FEAR¬ 
LESS, and the straight beater of all 
other spreaders which makes the 
FEARLESS so great an improve¬ 
ment over all others. At the bottom 
of this ad you can see how our circu¬ 
lar beater is made, how it SPREADS 
WIDE FROM A NARROW box be¬ 
cause it spreads to the sides as well as 
straight behind, and spreads evenly. 
A straight beater can spread only as 
wide as itself, so all other spreaders 
must be 7 feet to 9 feet wide—much 
too wide for wagon tracks, gates, etc. 
ONLY the FEARLESS is narrow 
enough for ordinary gates and wagon 
tracks. Yet it 
8PREADS WIDER THAN 
ANY OTHER SPREADER. 
The FEARLESS means less trips 
across the field—no driving on ma¬ 
nure already spread—light draught— 
an endless apron of simple mechanism 
—and other vital advantages which 
make it the most serviceable and eco¬ 
nomical spreader.

HAND POWER 
OR 
HORSE POWER 
VERSUS 
GASOLINE ENGINE 
POWER 
W HETHER you, your men or your horses do the 
farm work some sort of power is exerted. 
The businesslike, money-making farmer will 
use the cheapest power. 
Neither hand labor nor horse labor can accomplish so 
much at so little expense as an I. H. C. gasoline engine. 
These engines are reliable and efficient. They will eas¬ 
ily supply power for corn shelling, feed grinding, ensilage 
cutting, turning the. fanning mill, operating the cream sep¬ 
arator, and other dairy machines—and a dozen other things 
besides. They supply adequate, untiring, inexpensive power 
for everything that man or horse can do and for many they 
cannot do. 
An I. H. C. gasoline engine installed outside the barn 
door or within the barn means a power house on the farm. 
Horse power and man power can be applied only to certain 
tasks. I. H. C. gas engine power may be used for every other duty 
about the farm. There is an I. H. C. engine for every purpose. 
They are money makers and money savers. They lighten botli 
expense and labor. They afford a short cut to success and 
prosperity. 
There is no doubt that on the average farm, an I. H. C. gaso¬ 
line engine will more than repay its first cost each year. 
The nice adaptation of these engines to all farm duties is one 
of the most excellent features They are built in ; — 
Vertical, 2, 3 and 25-horse power. 
Horizontal, (Stationary and Portable) 4, 6, 8,10 12, 15 and 20-horse power. 
Traction. 10,12,15 and 20-horse power. 
Air Cooled, 1 and 2-horse power. 
Also sawing, spraying and pumping outfits. 
It will be to your interest to investigate these dependable, 
efficient engines. Call on the International local agent and get 
catalogs and particulars, or write the home office.
