THE RURAL NEW-YORKER 
December 19, 1908. 
HUMOROUS 
The Butcher: “Have ye got Smith’s 
leg. an’ Jones’s shoulder, an’ Brown’s 
tongue?” The Boy: “Yep.” The Butch¬ 
er : “Well, ye better take fiord's ribs 
at the same time.”—Harper’s Bazar. 
“My poor man, how did you acquire 
such a thirst?” “It wus dis-a-way, 
mister; when de doctor operated on me 
for appendicitis he forgot an’ left a 
sponge inside o’ me.”—Boston Traveler. 
Teacher: “You have no certificate 
of vaccination, Johnny, and I can’t 
find any scar. Where were you vac¬ 
cinated?” New Boy (much frightened) 
“In Missouri, ma’am.”—Chicago Tri¬ 
bune. 
Mrs. Boardem : “How do you find 
the chicken soup, Mr. Boarder?” Mr. 
Boarder: “I have no difficulty in find¬ 
ing the soup, madam; but I am in¬ 
clined to think the chicken will prove 
an alibi.”—Tit-Bits. 
“There is no doubt that Chumpleigh 
has the correct appreciation of what is 
expected of a city farmer.” “What has 
he done now?” “Why, he has just 
sunk a $1,400 well on his place in order 
to supply water to his $14 cow.”— 
Cleveland Plain-Dealer. 
Carsone : “Talking of nervy men, 
my neighbor Smith is about the limit.” 
Gebhart: “What’s he done?” Carsone: 
“He called over yesterday morning to 
borrow my gun, saying he wanted to 
kill a dog that kept him awake nights.” 
Gebhart: “Well?” Carsone: “He killed 
my dog.”—Judge.

T HE great accuracy of drop 
is what naturally interests you 
most. Deere genuine edge seloc 
tionof corn gives the highest accuracy of 
drop attainable. Repeated tests show ten 
. to fifteen bushels per acre in favor of accu¬ 
rate planting. This, combined wit h many other exclusive, desirable 
features, makes the No. 9 a profitable investment. You profit by the 
, Increased yield due to perfect stand, by the additional years of service 
and freedom from break down. 
Most progressive farmers and planters won’t have any other. Best 
informed dealers refuse to consider handling any other. Investigate 
the time saving and profitable reasons why. 
Main seed shaft driven directly by traction wheels takes all the 
■train from check wire, and avoids side draft. Compensating 
{ valves insure perfect check regardless of team speed. 
Instantly changed from check to drill drop. Tip-over hoppers 
— very convenient in changing plates. Plates for all kinds 
of corn. Five sets always furnished. Standard runner, stub
