THE RURAL NEW-YORKER 
May 9, 1908. 
HUMOROUS 
Lady : “I’m looking for a governess' 
for my children.” Manager of intelli- 
; once office: “Didn’t we supply you with 
cne last week?” “Yes.” “Well, madam, 
according to her report, you don’t need 
a governess. You need a lion tamer.”— 
Life. 
“Hurrah/" exclaimed the inventor of 
predigested hay, “a man has lived four 
days in a mine on nothing hut oil and 
wood.” “Well, what’s that to shout 
about?” “Plenty. You’re stupid. It 
. gives me a new idea for a breakfast 
food.”—Philadelphia Ledger. 
Mother (surprised) : “Why, Johnny, 
how did you happen to gel the merit 
card for good behavior at school this 
week?” Small Johnny: “It was like 
this, mama. Harry Jones won it. and I 
told him if he didn't give it to me I'd 
punch him.”—The Hebrew Standard. 
Mr. Stubb (with illustrated weekly) : 
“Martha, here is a picture entitled 
‘Docking an Ocean Greyhound.’ ” Mrs. 
Stubb (flaring up) : “I just don’t want 
to see it. I think there should be a law 
against clipping off a poor dog’s tail.”— 
Chicago News. 
“You haven't been back here before 
for thirty years, Pill? Gosh! that’s a 
long time! What changes do you see 
that surprise you most?” “Well, to tell 
you the truth, Dave, what I notice more 
than anything else is that everybody has 
grown old so much faster than I have.” 
—Chicago Tribune. 
“Which is the cow that gives the but¬ 
termilk?” innocently asked the young 
lady from the city, who was inspecting 
the herd with a critical eye. “Don’t 
make yourself ridiculous,” said the 
young lady who had been in the country 
before and knew a thing or two. “Goats 
give buttermilk.”—Springfield Journal. 
He entered the shop hurriedly. Those 
whom he passed at the door heard him 
repeating under his breath a formula 
which he seemed to fear might slip away 
and he lost. He approached the counter 
like one who wishes it were well over. 
“I wish to get,” he said boldly, “some 
ribbon for a red baby.” The shop girl’s 
blank stare seemed. to arouse him to a 
sense of something lacking. “That is,” 
he said, “I would like some baby for a 
red ribbed one.” The assistant was smil¬ 
ing now, and four others, a shopwalker, 
and seven customers, gathered and 
grinned in unison. He began again: 
“That is—of course, you know. I 
mean some red ribbed baby for one— 
that is—some red ribs for one baby— 
oh, hang it! where’s the way out?”’ He 
departed with speed. “I wonder,” said 
the shop girl, thoughtfully , about an 
hour afterwards, “if he could have 
wanted some red baby ribbon.”—Mel¬ 
bourne Leader.

THAT NEVER 
WEAR OUT 
t principal reason why Moline Wagons 
. ear so long is because they are made 
of the best material— oak and hick* 
kory. reinforced with iron and steel 
^wherever there is strain, wear and 
tear. For 53 years we have been mak- 
ing the Moline Wagon better and 
better each year. The result is, 
the lightest Running, Longest 
Wearing, most satisfactory 
farm wagon built. Our tires 
are set hot—that’s why they 
stay tight for years. Tires 
set cold get loose quick- 
ly, and cold setting 
squashes the wheel, 
damages the tim* 
ber, strains the 
spokes, hubs and 
felloes, thus 
Shortening 
. the life of a 
L. wheel very 
much.

_. T _ and back-breaking labor by 
_ , , getting this great I)ain 
Loader. It takes the bay up slick as a whistle 
—vastly cleaner than a fork and ten times 
quicker. It can’t clog up or tangle because it 
)s raker feed and force deliver*—not cylinder 
feed and carrier delivery like old style loaders. 
First, its two sets of raker teeth rake up 
"T w S P Then elevating fingers 
tly lift it and carry it up the elevator. A 
gate at the top keeps the hay from spilling 
over the sides of the wagon or blowing away 
on windy days. 
the Du in Loader delivers well forward so 
that only one man can easily do the loading. 
And when you get a wagon load you don’t 
have to get off to unfasten the loader. 
, Another good point about the Dain Loader 
is the Hammock Mount, which makes it 
easy to run over the roughest ground without 
the least racking. 
The self adjusting raker teeth gather all 
the hay as it comes, heavy or light. Take the 
Dain Loader all around, you can’t beat it 
for simplicity, strength and light draft. It’s 
the smoothest-running, most dependable 
loader you can imagine. Easiest to couple, 
quickest to uncouple. 
If you want to handle your hay cleaner, 
cheaper, altogether better than you ever 
handled it before, you can’t afford to let a (lay 
pass before you investigate this unequaled 
money and labor saver. Your dealer will show 
you, or you can get our Free ltook that tells

other hay tools.
